FYI, the Japanese family was stabbed simply because they were Japanese. Japanese hate in China can be crazy due to CCP propaganda weaponising the history of the Japanese invasion of China.
Rest in Peace, Hu Youping.
That is awful. Such hate doesn't just exist in China, many elderly Asian people from a multitude of different countries still hold a deep seated hatred of the Japanese. The events are within living memory. However this is changing with a lot of younger Asian people including people in China. Unfortunatley not quick enough for this lady and the family to not be attacked.
Same goes both ways.
Younger generation seems to be doing a good job and getting over the past and past prejudices, but not so much the older generation. I've seen it from all sides.
Its very difficult to remove that kind of generational trauma. I know someone who's 93 year old grandfather was alive during that time so of course parents had this instilled in them. Humans are really bad over all at having an understanding of how few generations it takes to be linked to an event.
Yeah, typically hate against the Japanese stems from absolute atrocities and attempted genocides, whereas the Japanese hate against Koreans/Chinese is based on feelings of racial supremacy.
My wife is Korean and has had quite a few negative experiences with older Japanese people, and she was pretty sure it stemmed specifically from her being Korean. I also have a childhood Japanese friend who moved back to Japan in Middle school and I met up with him in Tokyo as adults. He told me some stories of old Japanese people being absolutely awful to his Korean friends who had been born in Japan. I also have another Korean friend who said he will never like any Japanese people or go to Japan because his great grandfather was beheaded by Japanese occupied forces and his family is still very upset about it.
