Recently, Yuyuan Tan Tian, a prominent Chinese media commentary platform, published an article calling for the demolition of the ‘Hakkō Ichiu Tower’ in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. Built in 1940 and originally named the ‘Peace Tower,’ the structure bears the inscription ‘Hakkō Ichiu’—a phrase rooted in Japanese militarist ideology during World War II, which translates to ‘the whole world under one roof.’ Despite its seemingly benign phrasing, it historically served as ideological justification for Japan’s imperial expansion. The article highlights that stones used in the tower’s construction were looted from China and other Asian countries, including materials taken from iconic sites like the Great Wall and Nanjing City Wall. Yuyuan Tan Tian argues that preserving such a monument not only inflicts emotional pain on victims of Japanese aggression but also impedes Japan’s ability to confront its wartime past and achieve genuine reconciliation. The commentary urges Japanese society to reflect honestly on its history and take concrete steps to eradicate lingering militarist symbols, thereby fostering regional peace and mutual trust. This call is not an attack on Japanese culture as a whole, but a plea for moral accountability and historical honesty.
近期，中国主流媒体‘玉渊谭天’发表评论文章，呼吁拆除位于日本宫崎县的‘八纮一宇塔’。该塔建于1940年，原名‘和平塔’，但其名称‘八纮一宇’源自日本军国主义时期的意识形态，意为‘天下一家’，实则为日本对外侵略扩张提供理论依据。文章指出，该塔在建造过程中使用了从中国及其他亚洲国家掠夺而来的石料，包括部分来自长城、南京城墙等历史遗迹的石材，具有明显的殖民象征意义。‘玉渊谭天’强调，保留此类建筑不仅伤害亚洲受害国人民的感情，也阻碍日本正视历史、实现真正和解。文章呼吁日本社会反思战争责任，以实际行动清除军国主义遗毒，推动地区和平与互信。此举并非否定日本文化整体，而是敦促其直面历史黑暗面，承担应有的道义责任。
