Chinese People’s Understanding Of The Lower Class In Japan During The War Of Resistance

In the 1930 s and 1940 s,China issued a large number of Japanese research magazines.Japanese Review and Wartime Japan are both representative publications.This article will systematically sort out the related articles published therein and summarize the related articles.The article of the Japanese lower class during the War of Resistance,based on the living conditions of the people in Japan during the war,studied the material and spiritual life of the Japanese lower classes,introduced the people’s resistance caused by the war,and learned about Chinese scholars against Japan at the time.Understanding of people’s living conditions.During the period from the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan to the end of the period,the Chinese people’s attitude towards the Japanese lower classes was very contradictory.On the one hand,in the face of the deepening of the national crisis and the expansion of Japanese aggression,the Chinese will inevitably have feelings of hostility towards the Japanese,and the hatred will spread in the hearts of the Chinese.Once the Chinese were historically and culturally close and studied Japan for a long time.The resulting sense of closeness to Japan has shifted.On the other hand,during this period,a large number of Chinese intellectuals had received Japanese higher education,and personally had a good impression on Japan.Objectively,they encouraged the morale of the Chinese people internally and attracted the Japanese lower classes to fight Japanese militarism together.When Chinese scholars know the lower class,they often treat them separately from the government.This complex mentality is directly reflected in the articles of the Japanese research magazines.In addition to the academic and media nature of the research magazines,the author’s understanding of the economic lives,education issues,and social movements of the Japanese lower class is purely objective.There is a slight misalignment.In addition,at the same time,the Japanese research magazines under the control of the Japanese pseudo-government at the same time,such as the Shanghai Reprint of the Japanese Review,had an article with a Japanese color,while their academic and objective claims were clearly subjective.Claiming neutrality is beautifying the war of aggression,which has complicated people’s perceptions.This article hopes that Chinese scholars not only opposed the Japanese militarism but also sympathized with the people of the lower classes during the War of Resistance Against Japan,reminded the people to treat the Japanese people from a rational point of view.At the same time,whether the content in the magazines is consistent with the reality requires rational judgment.
