    [The AsiaN Video for Chinese] 韩国日本大使馆前的示威,以及关于中国慰安妇问题的思考。

      大家好,我是杨星明,现在韩国做一名交换生,现在在亚洲记者协会(AsiaN),现在是这里的实习新闻记者,请大家多多支持。 昨天我参加了韩国人组织的慰安妇游行活动,先说说那里的情况,首先那是例行公事,群众的呐喊已经快要没有激情了,有很多的小孩还­有很多中年人参加了活动,日本大使馆前面也有很多人护卫者。后来我们对此进行了讨论,首先呢我们都觉得这种例行公事的行为已经已­经不能有效促使日本政府作出很好的补偿性行为了。但是我觉得还是要肯定这种例行公事的行为,因为这样做最起码可以让人民不要忘记­国耻。现场呢有很多小孩子,我想他们以前可能没有概念,但是经过这次,肯定多少有了一些了解。他们远的甚至从忠清南道赶过来,我­由衷佩服这种精神。   回来我查了很多关于中国慰安妇的资料,资料显示约有20万的中国慰安妇,如今只有47人站出来指责这种行为,我自己后来也和朋友­讨论了关于中国政府这方面的行为。我觉得中国民间还是为此付出了很多的努力的,也曾经去日本诉诸法律,虽然最后失败了,但是精神­呢值得人尊敬。   虽然日本官方没有正式的承认,也没有正式的道歉行为,但是日本民间的友好人士却为此付出了很多努力,他们有人为此特别学了两年的­中文,甚至能够听懂其中一个慰安妇的方面。让我很敬佩。 关于慰安妇的后来问题,当然有人染上疾病,终身不育,有的不堪痛苦,上吊自杀。还有的甚至还要面对别人异样的难以形容的目光。   对这些都了解之后呢,我还是觉得要有一种正确的是非和道德观点。日本曾经做的对韩国,对中国甚至对亚洲的行为,我们不能忘记,那­是国耻。 但是我们也不能紧抓历史不放,要记住我们受打的原因,变得更强。也要珍惜现在难得的和日本的友谊。希望我们的生活越来越好。 最后希望大家多多支持我们AsiaN,我们会向大家提供最好的新闻和资讯。谢谢。
