Read the story.
The Chinese woman demands that Japanese who were mere children at the time feel guilt about what other Japanese than themselves did to other Chinese than herself.
Regret, already more than humans really feel about historic crimes of people long dead against other people long dead, personal interests apart (though of course the wise do take such things as fair warning), is not enough for her.
She is their enemy.
She hates them.
The Japanese who resent and reject her demand have my sympathies.
Well, that far, anyway.
Update, February 28.
Denial to refuse guilt and defy such hate is perfectly understandable, of course, even if mendacious or anyway careless of the truth.
When truth is thus abused, who can blame the innocent for using such means to defend themselves?
As for the Chinese, do they have it coming?
Being called liars by the Japanese, I mean, though they tell the truth (assuming they do)?
Serve them right?
Perhaps.
