After Japan's defeat, the first thing the victorious powers had to deal with were Japanese prisoners of war. The Soviet Union captured more than 600,000 Japanese prisoners of war at that time, they did not return these people to Japan, but drove them to the cold Siberia, let them do coolie atonement there, they got up earlier than chickens, slept later than dogs, ate worse than pigs, these Japanese mining in Siberia, cutting down trees, building railways, can also be regarded as a contribution to the post-war Soviet Union to resume production and construction, and finally less than half of Japan can return home alive, most of them are exhausted in Siberia, which is also deserved.
Today we are not talking about the issue of prisoners of war, but about the Japanese women who came to China with the army, these Japanese women have Japanese family members, logistics and medical personnel, etc. After the war, Japanese men left these women and ran alone.
According to statistics, more than 1 million Japanese women were stranded in China as refugees after the war. Although China is a victorious country, it has just experienced war, and its own life is also very bitter, and these 1 million refugees also have to eat and dress. At that time, although China was poor, it never bullied the weak, and since they were all weak women, we did not embarrass them, and China sent most of these people back to Japan.
Many people were very happy to hear that they could return to Japan, and at that time repatriated huludao. The Soviets were very tough on Japan, and there was a news circulating at the time that the Soviets were bullying Japanese women when they saw them, and they were beaten to death when they saw children, and these Japanese women were very afraid.
In addition to those who are willing to go home, there are also some people who choose to marry Chinese men after re-education, and these are probably more than 100,000 people. Of course, their marriage path is not smooth, because the trauma brought by Japan to China is too great, it is difficult for the village to accept a Japanese daughter-in-law, the villagers are very unfriendly to these people, at first these people are very unstable.
But over time, these people behaved well, contributing to China in their own way: promoting peace, serving China with the skills they had learned, and after a while the people around them accepted them.
Later, some people were interviewed and said that they were grateful to be able to marry Chinese, chinese men were very kind, and Japanese men could not compare. These Japanese women love Chinese men more than local women. Japanese women themselves are more virtuous, and because of the tolerance of men, this group of people shows more virtuousness, no matter how hard life is, they always firmly follow their men.
