On August 15, 19458, the Japanese Emperor announced the surrender, the Japanese invasion of China is almost all over the Japanese, according to rough statistics, there were about 3 million Japanese in China at that time, respectively, by Japanese soldiers, Japanese expatriates and farmers of the Japanese pioneer regiment.
How would so many Japanese be repatriated? Among them, there are also many war criminals who will be tried in the future, and the difficulty of this work can be imagined, and it is not an easy task to gather these people alone, and it is necessary to place different boarding places and board the ships in batches.
The food, accommodation and personal safety of these people before they boarded the ship were serious problems, and as Japanese who surrendered at that time, they all received international attention, and if they were not handled well, it would affect China's international reputation.
In fact, since the Japanese Emperor announced his surrender, these Japanese in China have calculated that they have done all kinds of evil in China, burned and looted bad things, and after surrender, they are naturally afraid of Chinese revenge, but a speech by Jiang Someone has reassured these Japanese people a lot.
Jiang Ren put forward the viewpoint of "not remembering the old evil and being kind to others" in the posture of a victor, and the Japanese people understood the meaning of "repaying grievances with virtue" from Jiang Ren's speech, which was widely reported by the Japanese media and quickly spread throughout the world.
On July 31, 1946, the Yomiuri Shimbun in Tokyo, Japan, published an article praising Jiang Someone, and even described him as "great", so that Jiang Someone was blown into the sky, and Jiang Someone naturally wanted to treat the surrendered Japanese well.
Jiang Not only cooperated very cooperatively to send people to carry out the repatriation work, but also set up a special organization to provide food and shelter for the Japanese stranded in Hong Kong, and also sent troops to ensure their safety, in order to further demonstrate China's tolerance and virtue, he also strictly ordered that the Japanese should not be beaten and cursed.
What the Japanese did not expect was that the Japanese soldiers who were taken prisoner were treated the same as the Kuomintang soldiers, and nearly two million Japanese soldiers could also receive salaries, which was a huge expense, which was borne by the Nationalist government at that time.
At that time, the "Measures for the Centralized Management of Japanese Overseas Chinese in China" was promulgated, which stipulated that "the amount of Japanese prisoners is 3600 yuan per person per month: 3600 yuan in North China, 2400 yuan in East China, and 3000 yuan in Central China", which is really incredible.
However, these prisoners of war were registered before entering the management office, and the money and belongings carried by individuals were also to be confiscated, and at that time it was stipulated that the expenses of Japanese prisoners in the surrendered areas should be paid by the Chinese side, and this money was counted in the war reparations and later returned by the Japanese government.
The repatriation began on November 17, 1945, and it was not until a year later that more than 3 million Japanese were repatriated, and for more than a year China was raising them, but the Japanese had to be strictly investigated when they boarded the ship and returned, and three things were absolutely forbidden to be brought back to China by the Japanese.
The first is contraband, guns, and even military dogs, the second is economic value materials, gold bars and jewelry, works of art, etc., and the third is written materials, including ancient books, these three things are absolutely not allowed to be brought back to Japan, can not be accommodated, the reasons for this are self-evident.
