Chapter 251: The Korean Kimchi Incident
When Takeshita Kusaka gave a speech in the auditorium of Waseda University, he replied to the Korean students that "Korean kimchi is good", which immediately stirred up a thousand waves. Like a stone falling into water, the ripples are the first to spread quickly through social media. For this reason, South Koreans, who believe that they have hurt their strong national pride and self-confidence, have expressed their dissatisfaction by protesting in various ways.
After dinner, staying at home, Takeshita Kusaoke, sitting on the couch in the large living room and Kitagawa mother and daughter, Sakai Chie was mentioning that she was going out to Kyoto to collect style. After all, in my opinion, the essence of ancient Japanese culture is mainly concentrated in Kyoto, and the breath of modern civilization is mainly concentrated in Tokyo. Thinking of going out for a walk and having a look, he naturally wanted to find inspiration for original writing, so that he could write good works.
The large LCD TV in the living room was always on, and suddenly there was news that hundreds of South Koreans had gathered in front of the Japanese Embassy in South Korea to protest. Not only did they call on the Chinese people to boycott all of Takeshita's translated works into Korean, but they also strongly demanded that the Japanese national writer publicly apologize for the Korean kimchi incident. These agitated South Koreans burned a number of single-book works published in South Korea on the spot.
When Kako Kitagawa heard this news report, her attention was instantly attracted. Concentrated, she was shocked, and couldn't believe that Takeshita Kusao's remarks had caused such a big thing. Seeing the raging fire caused by burning books on the TV screen, he said to himself extremely nervously: "How is this good? ”
Takeshita Grass Mustard, who was completely indifferent, leaned on the side of the sofa, scratched his scalp that suddenly itched with his left hand, and said lightly: "There are only hundreds of people protesting against me in front of the Japanese Embassy in South Korea, which is really too little." It's clear that they look down on me! South Korea, which has a population of more than 20 million people, has to come up with tens of thousands of people to first demonstrate and then surround the Japanese Embassy in South Korea to protest. ”
"When is it? You're still in the mood to laugh. Kako Kitagawa, who has a particularly serious expression, really has no bottom in her heart. She felt that it would develop into a very important diplomatic event between Japan and South Korea, and her nervousness was spontaneous.
"Kako, don't be too nervous. We in Japan are a country of freedom of speech. What's more, just relying on Takeshita-kun's words is not much of a turmoil. They just roar. So that I can express my patriotism. When this gust of wind blows, it will be fine. Even if he says bluntly that there have been no writers in Korea since ancient times, it is true, and this is indeed the case. Through this Korean kimchi incident, I have both joy and worry. Happily, I really didn't expect Takeshita-kun's influence to be so great; The worry is that his book sales in South Korea will be affected for a long time, and the sales will drop sharply. "I've seen strong winds and waves. Chie Sakai, who was quite calm, briefly made an objective analysis.
Kako Kitagawa, who was not relieved by this, quickly took out her Apple mobile phone and went online to see everyone's attention and opinions on this incident. I found out that the Korean kimchi incident has become a hot search word. She was so anxious that she habitually clicked on Twitter to take a look, and it was not difficult to find that Japanese netizens and Korean netizens had already started a day-to-day confrontation in English, Japanese, and Korean.
Not only that, there are also overseas Chinese studying in this who are also scolding Koreans for shameless and indecent. As for the tipping point. It was on the day of Takeshita Kusaokei that he answered a question from a Chinese student in a speech at Waseda University, which made it clear that he liked Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions" the most.
Originally, it was a war of words between Korean netizens who were fully opposed to Takeshita and Japanese netizens who fully supported Takeshita Kusake. And somehow, a brain-dead professor in South Korea put forward the theory of God in a public interview, saying that Cao Xueqin is Korean, and "Dream of Red Mansions" was written by Koreans. And Takeshita Kusaoke, who is known as Japan's No. 1 writer, said that there is no influential writer in Korea as a ridiculous and uneducated remark.
For this reason, the Chinese who learned of this report naturally stopped doing it. They were originally neutral, and there was a kind of melon seed. With an idle mood, they secretly sat and watched the scolding war between Korean and Japanese netizens, but now they can't sit still at all. Qu Yuan is Korean, and Li Shizhen is Korean...... Why is it Cao Xueqin's turn to become Korean now?
"What results did you see online?" You don't need to go online to see it, you know that the Internet has long been spitting stars flying under the bamboo mustard, and the smile on his face is not forced to be calm. Rather, I really didn't take such trivial matters to heart, because Japan is a country governed by the rule of law with freedom of speech.
"You can still laugh. I'm scared to death. Kitagawa Kako, who had a sad face, felt completely powerless at the moment and couldn't help at all.
"That's worrying. If I publicly say one day that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China and that Japan should apologize and compensate the Chinese and Korean comfort women, will you feel more anxious about being trapped in a burning house? Immediately, I thought of Kenzaburo Oe, who was the Takeshita Kusashi who publicly spoke about these very sensitive topics, and his smile did not change.
"Don't scare me, okay? If you really want to do that, then you will definitely be recognized by the people as a national thief. Our family doesn't want to have a quiet life anymore, and your life safety will be difficult to guarantee. Touching her own heart with her right hand, Kitagawa Kako, who was beating wildly, felt like she was frightened for a while.
"People who say I'm a national thief are narrow-minded and extreme. In fact, they are a bunch of patriotic thieves under the banner of patriotism. A nation that does not dare to face up to its past history is a coward. Economically, the reason why Koreans have such a radical reaction due to their national cultural inferiority is that they have not produced an influential writer for so many years. Just like the nouveau riche always like to go to a celebrity with the same surname as themselves in history to be their ancestor. Thinking that when Kenzaburo Oe made such remarks at that time, the wall outside his house was covered with the slogan "national thief" Takeshita Kusaoke, and I didn't see that he had almost experienced the assassination and judicial trial of his own country like the great Turkish writer Pamuk, but he was still living a good life.
