Han Chinese as an ethnic group has been invaded by many. Among the many, Mongols and Manchu have become Han Chinese “dear-from-the-same-wombs”, Russian has become Han Chinese “superior brother”, only western countries and Japan remain on Han Chinese enemy list. And Japanese are the most hated by Han Chinese. Why?
Because of Japanese invasion?
Obviously it isn’t a true reason.
Because of the so called Nanking massacre?
I remember that there are Yangzhou massacre and Jiading massacre by Manchu. But Manchu people have become Han Chinese “dear-from-the-same-wombs”. So, it isn’t a true reason either.
Because of the Japanese cruelty in battle?
I remember that Mongols were also very cruel. But Han Chinese call them “dear-from-the-same-wombs”, too. So, it isn’t a true reason either.
Then, what’s the exact reason for Han Chinese to hate Japanese that much?
There are some clues.
When Japanese invaded china, some Han Chinese cried that Han Chinese had taught Japanese the students, how to write, but today the students attacked their teachers!
When Han Chinese mention Japanese, the most used title is “the dog-fathered inferior Japanese monsters”.
And Han Chinese want to prove that Japanese ancestors are Han Chinese. (According to Han Chinese way of thinking, ancestors are superior to descendants, and ancestors are in higher rank, and the lower ranked descendants who scattered in the world should be ruled by the descendants who live in the area where their ancestors lived. And mainland Han Chinese, especially the Han Chinese from Henan(河南), Shanxi(陕西), Shanxi(山西) or around, should rule all of the Han Chinese in the world.)
Then, the chief reason for Han Chinese to hate Japanese is that Japanese had ever hurt Han Chinese arrogance! While not anything else.
And Han Chinese hadn’t been completely conquered or ruled by Japanese. Han Chinese have no history to be called “our dynasty” ruled by Japanese. Had Han Chinese been completely conquered and ruled by Japanese, Han Chinese attitudes towards Japanese would be totally different. But it didn’t happen. Otherwise, Han Chinese will call their rulers “dear from-the-same-wombs” to avoid explaining their humiliated history, just like they call Mongols or Manchu. (If ruled by brother, Han Chinese think their honor is still there.)
It is why Japanese cannot be called “our dear from-the-same-wombs” by Han Chinese, but hated most by them.
