Former ‘comfort women’ pray for Japan

"Comfort Women" are women who were forced to have sex with Japanese army during World War II. They were all sent to Japan when they were teenagers. But the comfort women proudly came out in front of the Japanese Embassey in Seoul and cheered for Japan. One of them said, “We hate their past wrong, not the people. We offer our deep condolences to those who lost loved ones”. They all decided to hold on a memorial day for Japna's nature disaster.



Admiration and shameness strike my mind right now. I can't understand how they show respect towards Japan and make a quick decision of memorial day. But when i read a quotation from an old women(We hate their past wrong, not the people.), I started to understand their mind.
When I see some ignorant stars saying Japan's disaster is from their unfaithful belief of God, they should be ashamed of themselves and take time for self-examination. I do really want to apologize instead of them to Japan. However, when I see old ladies siting outside in coldness and comfort them, I am really pleased and ashamed for myself.
