Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Japan Crown Prince
urges WW2 past not be forgotten as memories fade
A word “correctly”
can be taken very differently from one to another, especially when it comes to
history. However, one thing common to all is the time when an incident occurred
or ended. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the
World War II. And Japan’s PM is going to make his interpretation and remarks on
this occasion, which will be the key to future relationship with China and
Korea as well as now its most important ally, the U.S.A.
In the meantime on
February 23rd, Japan’s crown prince answered a question about the
war anniversary. He said, “I think that it is important today, when memories of
the war are fading, to look back humbly on the past and correctly pass on the
tragic experiences and history Japan pursued from the generation which
experienced the war to those without direct knowledge.”
How his word “correctly”
will be taken is unknown but there will be heated debates among many.
Enjoy reading and
thinking what the next emperor wishes to say.
