日中关系学会副会长川村范行告诉《环球时报》：日本历史认知鸿沟产生，有两大根源

Core Viewpoint - The significant differences in historical perception between China and Japan stem from wartime news censorship and post-war educational direction, leading to a "cognitive gap" [1] Group 1: Historical Context - During the war, Japanese citizens were largely unaware of the true nature of the conflict due to strict military control over news reporting, resulting in a lack of understanding of events such as the Nanjing Massacre [1] - Post-war education in Japan mentions the invasion of China but fails to provide a deep understanding of the tragic realities, leading to a predominant narrative of Japan as a "victim" rather than an "aggressor" [1] Group 2: Media Representation - Japanese media coverage of wartime events remains imbalanced, focusing primarily on the experiences of atomic bomb victims and post-war reconstruction, while neglecting the suffering of countries like China [2] - There is a call for Japanese media to objectively present the full scope of the war, ensuring that both the experiences of victims and the actions of the aggressor are acknowledged [2] Group 3: Future Implications - The 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's Anti-Japanese War serves as a reminder to remember history and cherish peace, highlighting China's commitment to historical justice and the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind [2] - A public research meeting organized by the East China Japan-China Relations Society aims to encourage more Japanese citizens to confront history and reflect on the war [2]
