Historically, Japan was also a feudal country, and they began to learn Western culture because of the invasion of foreigners. Although Japan's military strength has developed greatly, its thinking has not been completely emancipated. The Japanese are still male superior to female inferiority, and this idea is also reflected in the battlefield. The status of Japanese female soldiers is generally relatively low, and few are as fierce as in the TV series.
In 1945, when Japan surrendered, it took its prejudices to the extreme, and they only cared about escorting male soldiers back to China with warships, but left most of the female soldiers in China to fend for themselves. The director of the First Japanese Army Hospital, when he fled to Mudanjiang, did a very shameless thing. Armed with a Japanese saber, he ordered the wounded and paramedics to commit suicide by jumping into the river. These people had no ability to resist, so they had to jump into the Mudanjiang River with resentment.
Some of the Japanese wounded could not jump into the river because of their serious injuries, and the director directly had them injected with alcohol or air to kill them. Most people died in the Mudanjiang River because they could not swim, and only a few people were lucky enough to survive. One of them was Akiko Ito, who was born in the Hokkaido region of Japan to a father who was a forestry bureau worker and a housewife to a mother. By the time Ito graduated from the Japanese Nursing University, the War of Resistance was nearing its end.
The 20-year-old Ikuko Ito was forcibly sent to the battlefield, and she witnessed the evil deeds of the Japanese army and has always been dissatisfied with the Japanese army. After this river jump, Ito Ikuko was completely disappointed in Japan. Unwilling to die like this, she struggled for more than 3 hours in the river, and was finally rescued by our army. When Ito Yuko came ashore, her emotions were very complicated and it didn't take long for her to burst into tears.
In order to repay the kindness of our army and atone for the sins of her motherland, Ito Ikuko chose to stay in our army as a medical worker, during which she saved 17 soldiers with her own type O blood. After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Ito Ikuko was transferred to the Shanxi Rehabilitation Hospital because of her outstanding performance, where she met her husband, Zong Xuding. After marrying, Ito Completely settled in China, and in 1951, she obtained Chinese citizenship and then returned to her hometown in Jiangsu with her husband.
She lived there like an ordinary rural woman, living in a low profile for more than twenty years. Later, Under the persuasion of her husband, Ito Yuko returned to Japan to visit her old mother. At that time, Ito Ikuko's mother cried and hoped that her daughter could stay by her side, but Ito Yuko said that she could not leave China, and then took a boat back to her husband despite her family's objections.
