Zhou, who admits that he has little time for the Japanese, returned home after two days determined to get even. In the ensuing five days, he claims to have made more than 100 calls to the police and government in Zhuhai but his complaints fell on deaf ears. "So I went to the newspapers," he says, "because I hoped that the Hong Kong media would tell the outside world, tell the Japanese that their citizens have no culture and no morals. They are the worst - worse than animals and they should never be allowed to enter China."
