To save, or not to save-that is the questionWhen a Japanese is drowning…
A Chinese family passed by… The Japanese: “Help! Help! (in Japanese)” The child: “Look, Dad. Save the drowning man. Hurry up or he will die!” The grandfather: “No, you can’t save him because he is a Japanese.” The child: “He is a common person!” The grandfather: “Hundreds of thousands of Chinese families were broken by Japanese during the World War II? Japanese deserve their punishment!” The Dad: “That’s right. Maybe I shouldn’t save him!” The child: “I totally cannot agree with you. This man did nothing wrong. He is just a common Japanese who didn’t participate in World War II! This is a valuable life which should be saved!” The Dad: “What you said is also reasonable. Maybe I should save him.” The grandfather: “I will never forget and forgive that 300,000 citizens in Nanjing were killed by evil Japanese.” The child: “This man didn’t kill any Chinese! Can we separate national action from individual action?” The grandfather: “The evil is in their blood! You need to increase your sense of patriotism.” The child: “It is an abnormal patriotism! It is 21st century! What we should do is drawing a lesson from the history to be stronger rather than being trapped in hatred.” The Dad: “To save, or not to save-that is a question.” HatredHatred is a two-edged sword
