In 1945, a special wedding was held in the Hanoi region of Vietnam, this time by a company commander of our army and a female prisoner from a Japanese enemy camp.
At that time, the Japanese invading army brought us endless suffering, and the hatred of the soldiers for the Japanese was particularly obvious. But on the day of the wedding, the two not only received the blessings of their comrades-in-arms, but no one at the scene had any beak about the identity of the woman. Just a few years after their marriage, the anti-Japanese fighter chose to live in seclusion and return home, and the couple lived a leisurely life under the eastern fence of picking chrysanthemums in a village in Sichuan.
On an ordinary afternoon in 1978, while his wife was plowing the fields, a group of strangers driving luxury cars suddenly broke into the village. When the woman heard the movement, she did not pay much attention to it, but continued to do the farm work in her hand. But just then, a well-dressed man suddenly rushed to the woman's side and embraced her excitedly.
After seeing the man's face, the Japanese woman also cried excitedly, and later Liu Yunda's family followed the man to Japan and inherited the hundreds of millions of assets he left behind. What is the identity of this Japanese wife? Why would she marry an anti-Japanese soldier? Who are the Japanese men who came to China decades later? Why did the reclusive couple go to Japan with him and eventually inherit his hundreds of millions of assets?
The times of war are bumpy
To find out the answer to this matter, we must start with the identity of a Japanese woman. The Japanese name was Shizuko Omiya. In 1926, Shizuko was born into a wealthy family in Japan, and because of the extremely favorable conditions in the family, she had a very happy childhood.
At that time, Japan was in the midst of war, the outside world was extremely turbulent, in order to give children a better education, the father also specially invited several tutors for his daughter. In addition to Shizuko, there are three boys in the family, because she is the only girl in the family, her parents have always been partial to her, and her brothers have taken good care of her.
When Shizuko was a child, an economic crisis broke out in Japan, and due to the impact of the market, her father's company also declined, and before long, the assets in her father's hands were lost, and the family's conditions were not as good as a day.
After the outbreak of World War II, in order to replenish its front-line forces, Japan began to recruit troops in various parts of the country. Shizuko's three older brothers all responded to the call of the state to the front line, the sword was merciless on the battlefield, her two brothers were martyred and died on the battlefield, and the only brother who survived was also seriously mentally ill due to a head injury.
Seeing the suffering of the three children, the father was extremely saddened, and since then he has loved the little daughter even more. In order to ensure that his daughter is not poisoned by war, his father sent Shizuko to a school to study medicine, hoping that her daughter could become a white-clad angel who would save the world in the future.
However, what my father did not expect was that in the later stages of the war, the military reduced the recruitment conditions due to the shortage of soldiers on the front line, and Shizuko, who was still young, was requisitioned by the government and transferred to the front line as a nurse. Even if he had thousands of reluctance in his heart, his father had no choice in the face of the conscription order issued by the government.
In fact, this war is also extremely difficult for Japan, Japan's land area is small, resources are extremely scarce, in the face of such a large scale of war, Japan is also tired of coping, as the front of the war is getting tighter, the age of conscription of the army is also getting lower and lower, all kinds of signs are showing that Japan at that time is almost at the end of the road.
After seeing the cruelty of the war, his father was also very sad about Shizuko's departure, and he knew in his heart that his daughter would most likely never come back after this trip. Since Shizuko received an education in Japanese militarism from an early age, she herself was extremely sympathetic to the policies and ideas preached by the government, so when she first arrived on the battlefield, she was as enthusiastic as most soldiers.
As a student who has not yet graduated, her abilities are very limited, and at first, she can only cooperate with other doctors on the spot. Later, she could also be alone, looking at the wounded people who were carried in on the stretcher, Shizuko was also very unbearable.
After spending some time in Guangzhou, she moved to Shanghai, and before long, she moved to Burma. Although Shizuko grew up in a nutshell, she is a girl with a strong personality, not only did she not dislike the harsh living conditions on the front line, but she also took more care of the wounded.
As she spent more and more time on the front line, Shizuko slowly became paralyzed when looking at matters of life and death, and looking at what the Japanese army was doing, she also became suspicious of the legitimacy of Japan's war. In the later stages of the war, the Japanese army was unable to return to heaven, and because she had to witness the death of her compatriots every day, her life was extremely uneasy.
True love in the midst of war
One day in March 1945, the small town of Layingong, occupied by the Japanese army in Burma, was surrounded by our expeditionary force. On the same day, the expeditionary force and the Japanese army launched a bloody battle. After the two armies clashed, due to low morale and a huge gap, the Japanese army was quickly defeated and forced into a cave.
In the face of prisoners, our army has always pursued a preferential treatment policy. For this group of Japanese troops who have reached the end of their rope, our army began to shout words to persuade them to surrender, hoping that they would lay down their weapons and coexist peacefully. But the Japanese army, which was deeply poisoned by militaristic ideas, paid no attention to our surrender.
As early as the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate, the Japanese have always believed in the Bushido spirit of "becoming a ren if you don't succeed", and the Japanese military has always had a tradition of committing suicide by caesarean section. At the end of the road, they chose to commit suicide one after another, preferring to die rather than betray the so-called faith in their hearts.
At the urging of the Japanese officers, most of the soldiers chose to end their lives, but when the Japanese officers saw Shizuko, a female nurse who was only in her teens, she became the only survivor because of her soft heart and spared her life.
After capturing Shizuko, our army gave her ideological persuasion, but how could Shizuko, who grew up in Japan since she was a child, and was deeply influenced by militarism, easily change her original intentions? She not only refused the offer of the expeditionary force, but also repeatedly tried to resist and escape. Seeing this situation in front of her, some people in the army proposed that she be directly executed and not let her drag everyone's hind legs any longer.
Hearing this proposal, Liu Yunda, then the company commander of the Expeditionary Force, immediately raised objections, but the crowd ignored it. At that time, most of the soldiers in the team had a blood feud with the Japanese, and everyone's anti-Japanese sentiment was extremely high.
Although the female nurse had never done anything harmful, her Japanese status was still unacceptable to the soldiers. Faced with this situation, Liu Yunda took the risk of being punished, still tried to defy the public opinion, and fought for The life of Shizuko. Not only that, under Liu Yunda's arrangement, our army also specially vacated a house for female prisoners to live in. In this way, this Japanese female nurse followed our army to many places and began the march.
During the expeditionary force's southern expedition to the north, Shizuko saw not only the tragic situation of our soldiers, but also the crimes committed by the Japanese army against innocent people. Slowly, Shizuko began to doubt her original beliefs, and later she realized that the Japanese army was wrong to act in this way. The actions of the Japanese army not only infringed on the interests of other countries, but also caused the deaths of millions of innocent lives on both sides. For the first time since then, Shizuko developed a grudge against the Japanese army.
Later, she no longer resisted, but took the initiative to start rescuing the wounded soldiers of the expeditionary force. In this way, she longed to make up for the mistakes she had made before. Liu Yunda accidentally met this beautiful and kind-hearted female nurse, and at the first sight, he experienced a heart-pounding feeling. Since then, he has often taken the opportunity of work to chat with Shizuko, and in the process of talking, he also learns of Shizuko's experience and has compassion for her.
But in any case, Liu Yunda, as a company commander of the expeditionary force, should not be emotional about the enemy prisoners, and his heart was also very entangled at that time: on the one hand, he felt that Shizuko herself was not at fault, and she was also a victim of this war; on the other hand, the awkward relationship between the two and the public opinion of the people around him also forced him to retreat.
However, as the two of them know each other more and more deeply, Liu Yunda fell in love with this woman uncontrollably. Slowly, the comrades around him also saw his thoughts, and often created opportunities for them to get along alone, but Liu Yunda could not pass the hurdle in his heart, and he never showed his heart to Shizuko.
When Liu Yunda's superiors learned of this, they called him over and had a conversation with him. In the eyes of the superior leaders, the identity of Shizuko Omiya is not a big problem, the War of Resistance Against Japan is about to be won, Shizuko and others have made outstanding contributions to the army, the leaders also see this in their eyes, plus Shizuko herself has not done anything to harm the Chinese people, so in the face of the marriage of the two, the superiors are very supportive. The leader of the expeditionary force encouraged Liu Yunda:
"Don't care about her Japanese identity, if you really like this girl, then bravely chase her."
Listening to the leader's words, Liu Yunda also had courage, and soon after he returned, he expressed his heart to Shizuko Omiya, and he also fell in love with Liu Yunda and quickly agreed to communicate, and it was not long before the two held a wedding in Hanoi, Vietnam. On the day of the wedding, the surrounding comrades-in-arms sent them blessings.
In his later years, he made a windfall
On August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered unconditionally to the Allies, and the War of Resistance Against Japan came to an end. Shizuko didn't feel much sadness in the face of Japan's defeat, and she felt that this was the ending she wanted. Soon after the end of the war, the Kuomintang-Communist Civil War broke out, and because he did not want to see his compatriots killing each other, Liu Yunda chose to retire and return to his hometown. In this way, he returned to his hometown in Sichuan with his wife.
In order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings, Omiya Shizuko officially changed her name to Tsang Motoe and concealed her Japanese identity. Back at home, the two had a sweet life and later gave birth to a cute boy. However, the father in a foreign country did not know anything about his daughter's recent situation, and after returning home from Japan's defeat in the war, he had been trying to find her whereabouts. However, after years of searching, he has not heard half a bit about his daughter.
During the war, Shizuko's father quickly accumulated a lot of wealth in the country with his ingenuity and became a rich man with a net worth of over 100 million, but because two children in the family had died on the front line, the only boy who survived had mental problems, he needed a relative to inherit the family property, and it was imminent to find his daughter.
More than ten years after the end of the war, Sino-Japanese relations have been eased to a certain extent, and people-to-people exchanges have become more and more frequent. In 1977, Omiya's father, Yoshio Omiya, came to China with the help of members of the China-Japan Friendship Association. After arriving in China, he quickly approached the local government and told them his story.
On the same day, Omiya Yoshio repeatedly asked the local cadres and leaders to help them find their long-lost daughter, and the people at the scene were deeply touched by the father. Soon, everyone began to conduct a nationwide investigation. Soon after, they found Zeng Yuanhui here.
After hearing the news of his daughter, Omiya Yoshio was extremely excited. Led by locals, he came to the place where his daughter lived. As soon as he reached the place, he quickly jumped out of the car and ran impatiently to where his daughter was.
In the distance, Omiya Yoshio saw a figure working in the farm, he shouted his daughter's name, and Shizuko, who was doing farm work, was very surprised at first when she heard someone calling her Japanese name, mistakenly thinking that she had heard it wrong, but as the voice grew louder, she turned around in disbelief and saw her father's old face.
The father and daughter looked at each other, two lines of tears flowed down, and after a moment of stunnedness, the two embraced each other tightly. On the way back, the father and daughter could not bear the pain of lovesickness, and could not wait to tell each other about their experiences in the past few years. After learning that his daughter had married and had children, the father was also very pleased.
When he met his son-in-law, he also thanked him. If it wasn't for Liu Yunda, then maybe he wouldn't have seen his daughter today. At that time, Omiya Yoshio was already very old, and considering his father's health, Liu Yunda's family followed him to live in Japan. After arriving in Japan, the couple lived a prosperous life. After the death of Yoshio Omiya, Shizuko also successfully inherited this inheritance of hundreds of millions of yuan.
However, living in Japan, the couple still feels uncomfortable. For them, they prefer the Chinese living environment. After the discussion, the two entrusted the family's affairs to their sons, and then they happily boarded the plane back to China and chose to spend their old age in the Sichuan countryside.
The spirit of the husband and wife is extremely respectable. In the chaos of war, they did not give up love because of prejudice; when they acquired huge fortunes, they did not indulge in drunken fans, but chose to return to the most suitable place for their lives. It is precisely because they never forget their original intentions that they can live so happily and happily. And their attitude towards life and the world is also worth learning!
