Do the Chinese really dislike the Japanese? Or is this only views from the older generation?

These views stem from World War 2 when the Japanese military at the time commited many atrocities against the Chinese in China. There is still anger in today's generation of the Chinese, but mostly due to the unwillingness of Japan to admit the crimes and apologize. However, the Japanese did apologize, I believe 3 or 4 years ago for the things they did.
I don't hate Japanese people for crimes their ancestors commited. Having said that, I'm sure you could find other 20-something year olds or even 30 year olds who weren't around to witness said crimes, but will hate the Japanese anyway.
A story:
I was watching DragonBall-Z once with my bestfriend back when I still lived in Calgary when we were around 14 years old. His Grandma came upstairs, saw what we were watching on TV, and proceeded to throw a glass at the TV, breaking the TV and the glass, and screaming at us for watching a Japanese-produced TV show. She was in China during the Japanese occupation so I don't blame her at all.
