Curse the ratshit genocidal little monster, and all that sailed with him.
Imagine the Chinese point of view, the Japanese invaded, and brutally suppressed the population, slaughtering millions, the Chinese fought back, thousands were killed regularly in horrific battles, and then the war was over.
Because of something that this one man did, like a hero of old slaying a dragon that was laying waste to the countryside.
So in China this man was viewed as a god-like mythic warrior hero who struck the fatal blow to the Japanese empire that had visited such horrific destruction on China.
In Japan he's the slaughterer of children, the pure embodiment of evil.
It's all POV.
