The haze of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression existed in the hearts of Chinese for many years, and this humiliating history of the Japanese army's invasion of our country made us never dare to forget that the war was cruel Chinese, and how serious the consequences it brought must be very clear to everyone. We understand that although it is now an era of peace, we still have to work hard, and only through our own strength can we better maintain world peace, protect the families around us, and think of danger in times of peace.
We are talking about the memories of a Japanese veteran who participated in the war of aggression against China, after his defeat and return to China, his daily life is in deep remorse, he has insisted on giving speeches in Japan many times, exposing the crimes committed by the Japanese army in China, he said that he was forced to kill our Chinese compatriots out of necessity, but since a little girl said something to him, he has only released his gun since then, let's take a look at this story.
Born in 1914 in Koshiro, Hokkaido, Japan, a Japanese veteran named Hokkaido, Hokkaido, Hokitaro said that he had been a reporter for the Asahi Shimbun for two years before he participated in the war, and as a journalist, he was not eroded by Japanese militarist ideas, but what he never expected was that he also went to the battlefield one day and became a Japanese soldier who invaded China, which was the most painful thing for him. In 1937, Japan launched an all-out war against China, but China was rich and wealthy, and Japan felt that it was undermanned, so it never interrupted the recruitment of soldiers in Japan, and in May 1939, Honda Ritsutaro was forced to join the Japanese army and became an aggressor.
In August 1939, Honda Ritaro's troops were stationed in a county town in Jiangsu Province, when their gendarmerie captured more than a dozen Chinese, the Japanese officers said that they wanted to let their group of recruits train their hands, so Hondo Ritsutaro killed for the first time, he killed an unarmed, unresisting prisoner with a bayonet, Hondo Ritsutaro's heart has been difficult to let go after killing, he felt that the world should not be like this, he was a journalist at the time to want world peace, Hondo Ritsutaro has been uneasy after returning home, he decided to make a speech, However, this was not allowed by the Japanese government, but he still took the risk and insisted on speaking, and he also came to China many times at his own expense to express deep remorse and condolences to the compatriots who were killed in China.
Bentaritaro recalled how homesick he was on the battlefield. Seeing the battlefield full of devastation, he was very distressed, the Japanese army went to implement the three-light policy, the displacement of the Chinese people, how much suffering he experienced, let him not only think of his family, one day in 1941, Bentaritaro sneaked out of the station to read, this time he met a Little Chinese boy, the Chinese little boy is not afraid of him, because Bentaritaro often goes to this place to read books, they also gradually become familiar, and then the little boy also brought him home as a guest, Hondo Ritsutaro felt a long-lost warmth in the process of being a guest.
That time, as soon as he arrived at the door of the little boy's house, he heard a song, the voice of a little girl, the song was crisp and melodious, like the sound of a lark, and it turned out that the little girl was the boy's sister. Honda Litaro had not heard such a beautiful song in a long time, and he could not help but be intoxicated and hummed along with it. Later, when the little girl finished singing, he wanted the little girl to sing another song, but the little girl refused, and the little girl was very smart, she knew that this was a Japanese soldier in front of her, and said that she did not sing to the bad guys, and Honda Ritsutaro was the bad guy in her heart.
Hondo Ritsutaro apologized to the brothers and sisters, saying that he did not want to hurt Chinese, but in desperation, he still did something bad, and he wanted the war to end quickly, so that he could return to his hometown to reunite with his family as soon as possible. Later, Honda Ritsutaro's army was going to fight in other parts of China, and when he was separated from the brother and sister, he received a note from the little girl handing her, which was crookedly written with 13 words: "You don't hurt my compatriots, you don't want to die", Hondo Ritsutaro saw this sentence, his heart was mixed, it was because of this note, Honda Ritsutaro decided, Henceforth not to hurt a Chinese, he only released a gun on the battlefield, and later this old Japanese man with a conscience died of illness in 2010. He died on December 31, 2012 at the age of 9
