松島泰勝：「我對沖繩的熱愛是無止境的, 沖繩是我的靈魂和肉體。我在石垣島出生, 在
沖繩的與那國島長大, 和這裡的人, 這裡的文化, 這裡的海和島嶼一起成長。
Ysukatsu Matsushima: "My love for Okinawa is boundless. Okinawa is my spirit
and my body. I was born on the island of Ishigaki and grew up on the islands
of South Daito, Yonaguni and Okinawa, among the peoples, cultures and the
seas of these islands.
大家已經習慣用沖繩這個名子去代表或取代整個琉球群島。歷史上, 琉球是一個獨立王國
, 我們琉球人稱自己為Uchinanchu, 日本人就是Yamatunchu。即使我去到東京入到大學宿
舍, 我也不能忘卻沖繩的一切, 相反, 我對祂的熱愛只有更深。
It has become customary to use the name of the main island of the group,
Okinawa, interchangeably and as representative of the whole LewChew chain. In
historical contexts, it stands for the independent Kingdom of LewChew. We
LewChewan call ourselves Uchinanchu and the Japanese Yamatunchu. Even when I
moved to Tokyo to enter University and lived in a dormitory, I could not
forget Okinawa. The contrary, my love grew even deeper.
當那些日本人問我：你來自哪裡？你是什麼國籍？我回答：我來自沖繩。他們就會用很好
奇的目光注視著我, 而且我不斷重複遇上同樣的人, 可是這樣的經歷不曾發生在沖繩！
When the Yamatunchu asked, “Where do you come from? What is your nationality?
” and I replied, “I am from Okinawa”, they gazed at my face with puzzled
curiosity. I repeatedly faced this kind of encounter, I had never before
experienced in Okinawa.
雖然我是沖繩人, 但我從小學, 初中到高中都接受日本教育, 說日語。1972年美國宣佈「
交還」沖繩給日本管治的時候, 我是一名小學三年級生。當時我有一個非常難忘的經歷,
有一個學生因說了琉球語而被老師在脖子上掛上「方言札」, 接受懲罰, 這是因為教育當
局強制學生必須使用日語的規定 ...... 如果我們是同一個民族, 同一個文化, 為什麼對
於歷史事實, 日本總有東西是不可以告知我們的呢？」
Throughout my primary, middle and high school years, I had a Japanese
education and spoke Japanese, although I am Okinawan. In 1972, when the USA “
returned” Okinawa to Japanese administration, I was a third grader. At the
time, I had an unforgettable experience. A teacher identified one of the
students who had said something in our language by placing a “dialect label”
around his neck and punishing him, because the school authorities were
enforcing the rule that all speak Japanese. ......If we were one people and
one culture, how do we explain the historical fact that Japan did unspeakable
things to us?"
日本也被外省人給教壞了
想想台灣在外省人逃來之前 台灣人根本也不懂什麼叫貪污腐敗阿
