Wang Yibo uses the right method to open up the Japanese film market

The film "Nameless" was released in Japan on May 3, 2024 as a World War II anti-war epic, and on the first day of its release, many theaters were filled to capacity and seats were sold out. The fact that anti-Japanese films can be released in Japan is attributed to the excellence of the works themselves, and also to Japan's "culture of shame" that undermines the guilt of the war, and its national trait of "cultural separation" between morality and aesthetics.
Previously, "Ya Bai," released in 2021, was the first anti-Japanese movie to be released in Japan after the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, its release was not because Japan had reflected on its historical crimes, but because it had not been stepped on. "Heroes on the battlefield" has a clear ambiguity in the consciousness of different cultures, and the anti-Japanese core of the movie is likely to be "playing to a deaf ear".
Further back, in 1941, China's first animated film with anti-Japanese connotations, Princess Iron Fan, was renamed Princess Iron Fan of the Journey to the West the following year because the film was looted by the Japanese army, and was released in Tokyo and became popular for a while. Osamu Tezuka, then 16 years old and the originator of Japanese manga, was inspired by the movie in 1942 and created My Monkey King 10 years later.
Osamu Tezuka wrote in his postscript, "Princess Iron Fan is amazing, the fun and scale are staggering ...... The images of this animation are even more jumping and lingering in my mind, forcing me to almost imitate it." What era was 1942? The toughest moment of China's anti-Japanese war, the bloody battle of Changsha frontal battlefield hit the Japanese army hard ...... So what?
Even when the war was going on, it didn't prevent enjoyment of the Chinese movie, which wasn't an acknowledgement of the fact of aggression reflecting on one's own faults, but rather the conceit of the looters displaying the spoils of war. Knowing this would make our perception of the movie's popularity in Japan more objective. If "Princess Iron Fan" is a mistake, and "Ya Bai" is a cow to a cow, what is "Nameless"?
No Name is a cultural sleeve-arrow, a blood-soaked weapon, sharp and stealthy, a defense. That's right, the movie not only depicts the spy war on the hidden front, but also resembles a sleeve arrow in the sense of cultural export!
Cultural exchanges between China and Japan, the shadow of Japan's invasion of China is a hurdle that can never be bypassed. The same thorn deeply rooted in the hearts of the two countries, but because of cultural differences and the definition of a world of difference: one side suffered the most brutal massacre in the history of mankind, national dignity was destroyed and trampled on; the other side, but the self-proclaimed righteousness, to the nation to win the space for survival of the samurai spirit of pride.
Reiki grievances are both chi, but grievances point to cognitive stagnation, while reiki repairs trauma. There are no permanent friends or enemies between nations. "Remember history but not hatred." After the war, China was compelled by the changing international situation and out of a vision of peace not only gave up war reparations, but has also been working hard to realize self-repair of trauma.
The war did not destroy the technological, human resources and institutional advantages, which is the key to Japan's post-war recovery. The defeated country was politically and militarily constrained, so it concentrated on economy, science and technology, culture and sports, and instead completed the repair of its national strength.
The defeat of the war in essence provided Japan with a rare historical opportunity to realize the transformation of modernization under the support of the U.S. In 1964, the Olympic economy to promote Japan to achieve the "Olympic boom"; steady economic development and the rise of pop culture, Japanese manga as a symbol of pop culture to the world, the beginning of the "Kawaii Diplomacy" to dominate the world. Kawaii diplomacy" to dominate the global rhythm.
China, on the other hand, won the final victory in the anti-fascist war in 1945, and won the respect of the international community and improved its international status with its perseverance and spirit of sacrifice. The war of resistance against Japan is a victory of the protracted war, the people and the army paid a heavy price, experienced the test of blood and fire, but also completed the awakening of the people's spiritual level, which is the biggest harvest and significance of the war of resistance.
Although the War of Resistance against Japan prepared a broad mass base for the establishment of New China, Japan as a defeated country retained the wealth base for its revival, while China as a victorious country was penniless. 1945 China, the productivity of medium and high-end industrial products was almost zero, not to mention the high-tech civilian
