By and large, this Japanese tourist is treated with respect and consideration from the average Chinese person – many (if not all) local to the Nanjing area. The young woman concerned speaks in very good Putonghua – if a little slower than normal. The full video can be seen by clicking the link above – but I include a short clip of two elderly Chinese men – both of whom lived through the Nanjing Massacre as young childrem. One explains that her Japanese ancestors carried-out a terrible act – but that it is good that she possesses the moral courage to pay her respect to the ‘Chinese’ victims of her ‘Japanese’ ancestors!
