Of Churchill, it can't stand to listen, verbal abuse to Japanese
Recently, I had a chance to read the letter that Winston Churchill was exchanged with his wife Winnie.
He is writing a variety of episodes for the Japanese, but in the discriminatory representation departing from the acceptable range, he has the Japanese contempt. Never heard, ugly words such from emitted from the British. It means verbal abuse; he has used an expression to demean whether even this.
Everyone harbor anger against the enemy, and to get emotional in the war. However, the wording of Churchill was departing from its scope. In the background Churchill cursed Japan dirty up there; there is experience of colonial rule. British Empire, which was full of glory for hundreds of years, it was described as never sun goes down, its territory, of all things, by little people yellow oriental, and that had been allowed to collapse in an instant, He was there and chagrin, and anger.
The generation that fought World War II, is such a deep-seated grudge, was against the Japanese. Gordon Newton op-ed chief editor was my boss in the “Financial Times “company also was one such person. He has sent to Japan me, it was opening, the Tokyo bureau of the “Financial Times “.
To their friends and Gordon, experience who fought on the battlefield against Japanese, those who have the in many cases.
For them, the Japanese was the target of hatred. Japanese had harbored feelings of “savage’s “extremely. There was a part, they have to the Japanese such a special feeling, it was a British people’s true.
World War II is over , it is in the 50s, watching movies such as " Seven Samurai " Akira Kurosawa, of Kon Ichikawa, such as " wildfire ", I received a fresh shock.
You've never met among the history of British colonial rule in which hundreds of years across, Japanese, I realized that it is the presence of “another dimension “.
UK to build a great empire over hundreds of years, it maintained its empire. In the meantime, I fought with a variety of ethnic groups, including Asian Indians. Of course, the battle with Indians was also extremely fierce. And Afghanistan, the enemy of north Pakistan, was a formidable opponent.
However, the Japanese were far beyond the "strong enemy” that did so. Race and who received such colonial rule, the Japanese were quite different.
As soon as Japan's military invaded the British Empire, Empire, which lasted for hundreds of years, has collapsed. By Murray invasion of Japan, the United Kingdom was as had been subjected to hypnosis. The strength of the Japanese military excessively, it had no choice but to surrender.
And such a reality, the treatment received by the camp and are, combined, the image savage, brutal Japanese” and was emphasized. In fact, people who received the terrible treatment we were also referred. There is also a story that I heard personally.
However, because there is also a testimony of many of the Japanese who abused illegally in the camp of the United Kingdom, we are of equal status in this regard was. Even among the British, had lacked the educated, which is brutal.
Omit the last part
