就MIT侵华画报事件唐僧email一封 04-29-06
Seems like this happened last week in MIT and the
Chinese student community…
over 100 Japanese woodblock paintings from the 19th
century are shown on MIT homepage.
All of them are about Japanese troops invading
China the first time in modern history.
The article along with the paintings
analyzed the Japanese national psychological efforts
of breaking away from Asia
and finishing the Westernization by slaughting the very country
who contributed
the most to Japan’s past.
此
事上周发生在麻省理工和中国学生团体。超过100张关于19世纪日本首次侵华的版画图片出现在麻省理工的主页上。与图片相配的文章从学术角度分析了当时日
本全国的心理,即利用版画来达到政治宣传的作用;以及为了脱离亚洲、实现西方化,而对历史上对日本文化贡献最大的老师,中国,大开杀戒。
This sudden appearance of the paintings apparently
upset many Chinese.
The Society of Chinese Student and Scholars at MIT requested
a meeting
with the professors who conducted the courses and the webpages; many
Chinese on-line are trying to organize a public protest on MIT campus this
weekend.
图片的突然出现明显激怒了很多中国人。麻省理工的中国学生学者联合会要求与校方面谈,甚至还有网友试图组织抗议游行。
the display of the paintings
could be very misleading to many people who don’t know
much about the complicated
history of Asia and who don’t have the interests or
time to read the entire article, which
of course offends the Chinese, whose home country is portrayed as the loser.
Visually this is showing the brilliantand brave higher class Japanese killing
the ugly worm-like Chinese. Even though
the article explains that this is only apropaganda
bullshit by the artists who were never there in the battle field to show what the people at
home wanted to
see, without reading this you would only be shocked by the visual
information and
would remember the images with the impressions the artists
deliberately delivered.
我
理解很多人愤怒的原因。在主页上展示这些图片对很多不了解亚洲历史和没有读完相配文章的读者来说,很容易起到误导的作用。视觉上,这些图片完全在展示英勇
神武高人一等的日本官兵对丑陋低贱的中国人的杀戮。虽然文章中解释说版画的作者们都没有到过前线,他们画的无非是日本民众期望看到的战胜景象,也就是全民
意淫。但是不仔细读的话,读者能留下的全部印象就会是这些视觉的信息,这些政治画家所要传达的内容。
to compare anybody’s height.
China has never gotten a global recognition for the
loss during the wars, nor any
fair recognition or attention for its culture and
history, while Japan basically stole
all the cultural glory that belongs to
Asia. More thoughts should have been put in
to it before the paintings are
displayed as an "academic study".
当地面不平,何谈比较人的身高。中国在文化历史上,尤其是近现代反侵略史上,从未获得应得的国际关注。而日本一直在窃取本该属于全亚洲的文化光环。虽然本意为善,展示这些学术研究图片时,还是应该三思而行。
very important and interesting
topic. It explains the question I’ve always had
about why Japanese are so snobbish
to Chinese and other Asian people. People do
that when they are insecure, when
they can’t face themselves as a part of the
family. In the past, they invaded and killed.
Now, they can’t just go around and
kill, so they just stay snobbish. The two share
the exact same root. How eager
they are to be like the Westerners! It amazes me…
Should the family still love
them and be friends with them? Should we trust them
anymore before they stopped
that notion of being higher? I am still not so sure.
但
是另一方面,这篇文章举出了一个极其重要的观点。这也解答了我一直以来对日本人在其他亚洲人面前总是高人一等的可恶态度的疑问。什么人才会对自己的家人,
朋友,老乡,作出这样的嘴脸呢?
只有内心缺乏安全感,不肯承认自己是他们一员的人。过去,他们因此而侵略屠杀,妄图脱离亚洲,将自己的历史也借此抹去,个个都换成白皮肤才好。现在,他们
不能以武力四处称霸,却继续保留着不可一世的态度。这两种做法不过是同一个根源的两种表现而已。他们否定历史、变成西方人的愿望如此强烈,简直匪夷所思! 为亚洲国家和亚洲人,我们到底能不能以这样的邻居为友,
在他们停止歧视之前,我们是否能够信任他们? 我依然无法回答。

关于日本的讨论,我和朋友间
进行过很多次。包括中国的,外国的,日本的朋友。很多人会问我,中国人为何抓着战争的过去死活不放手,为什么那么敏感,那么自卑。问话的人显然不了解现
状,只知道战争已成过去,却不了解日本民众至今对中国乃至亚洲其他国家人的刻骨歧视。很多日本人至今认定中国人肮脏下贱,是劣等民族。我的一位朋友的日本
女友,本科专业是日本历史,出国学习艺术史,本应是比一般民众更了解日本和中国在历史和文化上的过去,清楚中国对日本文化的贡献和影响,以及日本对中国的
侵略详情。但是她却能说出我们日本人就是看不起中国人的话来。如果她不是特别的有病,就是她所受的所谓日本历史教育无比的扭曲。这还是受过高等专业教育的
人。其他民众不专门学习这些的,更不用提。我这样说也不是要把矛头指向日本人民,我自己就有日本朋友,相处也很融洽,人的本质还是相通的。我要说的是,作
为一个民族,他们选择亲西方屁股也就算了,可是还要为了更好地亲人家屁股,而不惜屠杀和歧视,以达到心理上的满足。这不光邪恶,而且可悲。他们无法正视自己发展的过去,为了西方化这个"利"什么
都顾不得了,没有"义"也没有底线,就像一帮被自己影子追着狂奔的疯子,不是举刀横砍脚跟,就是对自己的影子大吐吐沫。有疯子为邻,我们当然要小心了。
