Kàngrì

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kàngrì (Chinese: 抗日; Wade–Giles: kʻang4jih4; lit. 'resist Japan'; Korean: 항일; RR: hangil)[1][2][3] is a Chinese word, which means "resisting Japan", in the context of resisting Japanese imperialism. Hangil may be translated as "anti-Japan",[4] though it is distinct from fǎnrì (Chinese: 反日; Wade–Giles: fan3jih4; lit. 'anti-Japan'; Korean: 반일; RR: banil),[1] which refers to more general anti-Japanese sentiment.

Kàngrì is deeply related to the post-colonial East Asia, such as China and Korea; especially the Second Sino-Japanese War and Korean independence movement.[1]

To begin, we need to distinguish at least two forms of anti- Japanism: "resist-Japan" (抗日) and "anti-Japan" (反日) in East Asia. "Resist Japan" is widely used in mainland China and the Sinophone world to convey the efforts and success of Chinese struggle against Japanese imperialism, especially during the eight-year "war of resistance" (1937-45)

In 1932, the Comintern held that all the imperialist powers were threatening China, not just Japan. For this reason the guerrilla group in Shaanbei was called the Anti-Imperialist (fandi反帝) Alliance, not the Resist-Japan (Kang-Ri 抗日) Alliance, as some would later call it.
