我以前的同屋多年前搬了去日本住,在那処和千葉美女結婚生女,加日友好,樂也融融。 但最近仙台地區的地震海嘯,和發電廠連續發生的核子爆炸,實在令他对下代的健康擔心不了,回歸之念頓然萌生。他很想帶年幼的女兒回加拿大,逃避幅射塵染污之險,無夸扶桑國民族本性倔强,倫理覌念又和楓葉國大有分別,他的「蝴蝶夫人」就是要和女兒留在千葉老家,和她父母家庭共存共亡。友人愛妻心切,但又感到要保護半加裔的女兒,現正是心急如焚,不知如何是好!異國情鴦有兩個「老家」,但未成年的孩子呢?当有天災人禍,意外緊急,要决定去留的時候,他∕她們又是屬於那一個老家?異族通婚,兩囗子除了要真誠相愛之外,還額外需要互相明白大家文化背景的分別,盡量遷就,把男女關係放在一個平衡的支點上。但有了子女之後,這個支點承擔的壓力是加重了,平衡是傾斜了,孩子在日常家庭生活中佔了一個很重要的地位。
老同屋向我吐苦水,但我這個外人除了給他精神上的支持之外,又能夠給他什麼意見去說服「蝴蝶夫人」呢?!
註: 「蝴蝶夫人」只是借用語,我当然不希望他們悲劇收場。

情願死都要和國家共存亡,
這就是日本人最可怕的地方,
也就是為何她們明知自己錯都不願去承認的原因,
是非黑白錯哂，
我接受唔到!
I lived in Japan for 5 years. My impression is that Canadian men are more willing to uproot and move to Japan to be with their Japanese wives. American men with Japanese wives usually come back to the U.S after a while. Just my observation of course.

人是合羣動物,有歸屬感,愛家人,愛國家,是不足為奇。但如您說,不分是非黑白,肓目地去支持日本軍國主义領導者,價值覌轉移, 錯都不願去承認,那就是另一回事了。

Maybe Canada is relatively speaking, more multi-cultural and ppl are more used to living with other cultures - I am generalizing here.

Thank you for the link - some really nice pics !!!
Yes, the story of Madame Butterfly was set in Nagasaki hundreds of years ago, across two cultures, and thru the love of a Japanese woman. Perhaps that's why it is still so popular.
