[Witty] Comment: Japanese writer Sawada Aiko has called for an emergency protest against Takahashi Asami's visit to Yasukuni Shrine, highlighting that there are still rational voices opposing militarism in Japan. However, it is regrettable that such voices are not mainstream in Japan. If Takahashi Asami actually visits "the shrine," it would be a blatant act of reviving militarism and a direct violation of historical justice. Neighboring countries will certainly not remain indifferent, and relations between Japan and its neighbors will further deteriorate, plunging into deeper trust crises. If Japan wants to truly integrate into the international community and achieve peaceful development, it should face history and abandon the wrong actions of militarism, rather than continue down the right-wing path. These rational voices should receive more support and become the mainstream of Japanese society; otherwise, Japan will only continue to sink deeper into the wrong path.
