After the September 18 Incident, ambitious Japan quickly took control of the Northeast region, but after that, the Japanese government knew that it could not really control the Northeast by force, so it wanted to change its demographic structure by exporting Japanese culture in the local area and importing a part of the Japanese people into the Northeast region, so that the local people could subtly accept Japan and achieve the goal of completely occupying Manchuria.
Therefore, after the September 18 Incident, a frenzy of Japanese immigrants to the northeast was set off. Many Of the Japanese people who had previously immigrated to the northeast failed to return to Japan after Japan's defeat in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and remained in China.
One of them is Hideko Mizusaki, who chose to hide her identity in order to survive in China after staying in China and later married Chinese.
In the 1970s, Hideko Mizusaki had grown into a 90-year-old grandmother, and although she had lived in China for most of her life, she still wanted to return to Japan, so she refused to go to the hukou before her death, and handed over a photo before her death, revealing her identity.
Stranded in China
Born in 1929 to a fisherman family in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, As the only daughter of the family, At the age of 13, at the call of the local government in Japan, Mizusaki Hideko followed a group of Japanese people to live in the Tohoku region.
Because her father was also a Japanese soldier, he could not take care of her, so after coming to Tohoku,
Hideko Mizusaki followed her aunt's family, who was doing business in the northeast, and her aunt gave her a Chinese name, "Wang Yulan".

Since Hideko Mizusaki was fostered to her aunt's house, she has never seen his parents again, and it is not known whether her parents died in the war or left China for other reasons.
After Japan's defeat in 1945, her aunt's family returned to Japan, but Hideko Mizusaki was stranded in China for some special reasons
。
After that, Shuizaki Hideko, who had already mastered chinese, also lived an anonymous life, although the life of Mizusaki Hideko, who was a weak woman at first, was relatively friendly and could help Mizusaki Hideko a little.
Go through ups and downs
In 1947, Zong Kaiguo, a Kuomintang battalion commander who came to the local war, met Hideko Mizusaki, who was in her prime, and took the initiative to show her love.
At that time, Mizusaki Hideko was also touched by Zong Kaiguo, so the two also smoothly entered the marriage hall
During that period, Mizusaki Hideko, who became an official's wife, had a relatively moist life, but because her husband was an officer, there was little time for Shuizaki Hideko to lead the war for many years to reunite with her husband.
Not only that, half a year after the marriage of the two, Mizusaki Hideko's husband went to fight in other provinces, and there was no news after that. Then Mizusaki Hideko probably guessed that her husband was estimated to have died in battle
Although Hideko Mizusaki was very miserable, she was a strong woman who was still optimistic about life, and after living alone for a while, she met another soldier, Lei Guoshun.
The marriage between the two is also very harmonious, but Lei Guoshun has something to hide from Mizusaki Hideko, because Lei Guoshun's family once arranged a daughter-in-law for him in his hometown, and when Mizusaki Hideko learned of this fact, he could not accept it.
Moreover, Lei Guoshun's family did not agree with Mizusaki Hideko, so Mizusaki Hideko and Lei Guoshun eventually divorced. After the divorce, Mizusaki Hideko, who lived alone, did not always end up lonely, and the industrious and kind Mizusaki Hideko was then introduced by the local women's director and was once again married by the villager Song Zhifu.
However, Song Zhifu was not in good health, and in that poor era, his family had very little spare money to use to treat diseases, so Song Zhifu was not able to die early with Mizusaki Hideko when he was old.
Refusal to register
By 1976, at the age of 47, Hideko Mizusaki was married again to the family of Li Mingtang, a farmer in Leijiadong Village, Zhulinguan Town, Danfeng County
Although Li Mingtang is slightly older than Hideko Mizusaki and the family is very poor, he treats her very well, and the life of the two is also very happy, and Li Mingtang is also the last husband of Hideko Mizusaki.
At that time, it was almost 30 years since the founding of New China, and the development of all aspects of the country had also entered the formality, when the state required everyone to go to the hukou in order to better control governance.
And the hukou is also very important for a citizen, because at that time, the land division was not according to the head of the person but according to the hukou, and without the hukou it was illegal and could not be divided into land, so the people were very enthusiastic about the hukou at that time.
However, Mizusaki Hideko was reluctant to ask for a Chinese hukou, and even though her family tried to persuade Mizusaki Hideko, she still did not compromise
After her family did not understand, Mizusaki Hideko took out a photo that she had treasured for many years, which was a family portrait taken by Hideko Mizusaki when she was in Japan.
And that photo also exposed the fact that Hideko Mizusaki was once a Japanese.
Later, Mizusaki Hideko also explained that her reluctance to obtain a Chinese hukou was not dissatisfaction with China, but that she still had feelings for her country, Japan, and hoped that one day she would be able to return to Japan, and if she returned to Japan after obtaining a hukou in China, she would not be recognized.
After Hideko Mizusaki told the truth, her family did not embarrass her, and in 1979 applied for a residence permit for her to be a foreigner in China.
In addition, the children of Hideko Mizusaki also took the initiative to help her start the road of searching for relatives after the family conditions, hoping to let her return to Japan to visit her relatives in her lifetime.
Finally, in 2002, with the help of her family and other members of society, Mizusaki Hideko applied to return to Japan, but Mizusaki Hideko's visit to relatives did not go well, because her name had long been counterfeited by another woman, and Mizusaki Hideko's Relatives in Japan could not recognize her authenticity at that time, because the time had been too long. So that year's visit to Mizuzaki Hideko was disappointed to return to China.
But Hideko Mizusaki still wants to return to Japan to visit her relatives and get the approval of her Japanese family, so at her insistence, her children and grandchildren are also trying to help.
Then, in 2005, under the impetus of her family, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare sent someone to Hideko Mizusaki's home in Shaanxi Province, conducted a series of complex forensics such as DNA sampling, conducted an investigation, and then confirmed her true identity, and the following year, Mizusaki Hideko finally returned to Japan and met her cousin, whom she had not seen for many years.
At that time, Hideko Mizusaki was very excited, as if there were many things she wanted to talk about, but she was surprised to find that she had not spoken Japanese for most of her life, and she could not speak Japanese, and even had to communicate with her family normally through an interpreter.
In addition, Hideko Mizusaki is no longer adapting to the Japanese way of life and model.
So Hideko Mizusaki, who returned to Japan many years later to visit relatives and had the opportunity to settle in Japan, did not decide to stay in Japan and live.
After two weeks of visiting relatives, she followed her children back to China, where Hideko Mizusaki was buried after her death.
brief summary:
Hideko Mizusaki is undoubtedly also a victim of Japan's invasion of China, and she came to the land of China at the age of 13, and for various reasons, she returned to her hometown to visit her relatives at the age of nearly 100, believing that this is a big torture for everyone.
From the incident of Hideko Mizusaki, it can also be seen that once there is a war, the innocent people of both countries will be hurt, and they are often the most deeply hurt.
And there are not a few people who are generally involved, such as Hideko Mizusaki, in fact, there are many people, but she is one of the people who have been discovered and reported by people, so the person who advocates launching a war and invading other countries must not be a person who loves the country and the people.
It is precisely because China has seen the harm caused by war to the people that China has always been a big country advocating peaceful coexistence with all countries in the world, and has proved it with practical actions.
Fortunately, people like Hideko Mizuzaki no longer exist, because since the founding of New China, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, no other country has dared to wantonly invade and occupy our territory like Japan during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and no one has the experience of Hideko Mizusaki, of course, this is the reason why China has become stronger.
