In 1945, as the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, leveling these two important cities, the Japanese emperor had to announce his acceptance of the Potsdam Proclamation and announced his surrender, and World War II ended completely. Although the war is over, people still have a lot of work to complete, such as eliminating the recalcitrant enemy, surrendering, organizing post-war reconstruction work, and so on.
Japanese army in the northeast
Northeast China was completely invaded and occupied by Japan during the "918 Incident" in 1931, and a "puppet Manchukuo" was established here to oppress the people of northeast China for a long time, crack down on the anti-Japanese organizations here, and plunder the resources here.
The army stationed in Japan is the elite unit of the Japanese Army, the Kwantung Army, known as the "Flower of the Imperial Army", and many strong fortresses have been built here, which is enough to show the importance attached to the Tohoku region. At the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Soviet army also made considerable effort to eliminate all the Japanese troops hiding in these fortresses.

In fact, not only from 1931, but also before that, the Japanese invaders had already infiltrated and plundered here, and in 1936, Japan began to send immigrants to the northeast, which were called "pioneer groups" in order to gradually infiltrate the culture of the northeast and consolidate their rule. But after Japan surrendered, these Japanese were "abandoned" by their own motherland.
The Japanese army at that time was either repatriated or captured by the Soviets and sent to Siberia for hard labor, and we do not know what happened to the Japanese who remained in the northeast, and the Japanese did not talk about it.
According to statistics, when Japan was defeated and surrendered, there were still 100,000 Japanese women in northeast China who stayed here, where did they end up?
It is reported that many of these women are already married in Tohoku, and it is obviously very difficult for them to return to Japan, so they can only stay in Tohoku. In the early days after the end of the war, these original "people on earth" were condemned by the residents of our country, but later people also realized that these people themselves did not do anything aggressive, only the Japanese government and army, and they were themselves victims of the war. As a result, these women were gradually accepted and became residents of our country.
After a long life in China, they have gradually regarded themselves as Chinese, can speak fluent Chinese, and their living habits and thinking have changed, so what is Japan's attitude towards these Japanese women who stay in China?
Japan, as a country that is extremely arrogant about its own culture, is of course extremely humiliated by this, and it is no wonder that the officials have chosen to keep silent. Of course, for these women, staying in China is actually a better choice, because returning to Japan may encounter more unfair treatment.
War is only a disaster and a pain for civilians, and we must cherish the peace we have now. What seems to us to be ordinary life is perhaps the greatest wish of those who live in war for the rest of their lives. Therefore, we must not forget for a moment those revolutionary martyrs who threw their heads and spilled their blood for peace, and it was their sacrifices that bought the motherland today.
