"The Great River Goes to send a health attack": "After all, the topsy-turvy has become the bottom of the matter, and the conscience has been destroyed." ”
In the history of humiliation, blood and tears for more than a hundred years in modern times, every bloody countryman could not help but sigh with his wrists, beat his chest and filled with righteous indignation. In that short hundred years, the great country was full of devastation and mourning. The ambition and greed of the Western powers have broken the closure and tranquility of our country and brought great pain and loss to our country.
When it comes to China's modern history, no matter what, we cannot avoid the magnificent and great War of Resistance Against Japan. The Japanese army, with the aim of ugly greed, has committed countless crimes in this beautiful and peaceful land of Shenzhou, and the piles of tragic cases are shocking and heinous, and every countryman is deeply disgusted by them. To this day, the shame and pain are still forgotten.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the atrocities committed by the Japanese army were condemned by the people of all countries in the world, hoping that they would pay the price for their deeds, but our country adhered to the humanitarian spirit and the principle of preferential treatment for prisoners of war, and repatriated most of the Japanese prisoners in batches. But there was another aggressor, who never pulled the trigger during his six-month enlistment in the army, was reluctant to return to Japan, but chose to spend the rest of his life in China to pay for his sins.
The last invader in China was named Hiroshi Yamazaki. Born in 1908, he grew up peacefully under the care of his brother and sister, despite losing his parents early. Yamazaki is still a family of medicine, so Yamazaki decided to inherit his ancestral business, study hard, study medicine, and gain a lot of prestige in his hometown because of his superb medical skills.
If it weren't for the brutal and greedy war, perhaps he would have become a good doctor who was brilliant and loved, rather than a soldier who pointed his gun at innocent people in other countries. Japan, a small country in eastern Asia, provoked war with a self-directed farce and invaded our territory from the northeastern border, due to the expansion of imperialist ambitions.
However, the land of Shenzhou is so vast, the Japanese army's plan to fight a quick battle is just wishful thinking, and the extremely long front makes the Japanese army tired of running between the demolition of the east and the west, so it has to be forced to recruit troops in Japan to replenish the troops. It was at this time that Hiroshi Yamazaki was forced to embark on the blood-red battlefield. In the face of his brother, who has a family and a wife and children, although Yamazaki Hiroshi has also reached the age of establishment, he still chooses to represent his family, and uses his hand to heal and save people, and holds up a blinding gun.
In order to arouse the fighting spirit of the conscripts, the Japanese army shamelessly brainwashed them, calling aggression a "just battle" in which "glory is supreme," and even more unashamedly publicized the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Plan," so that the Japanese youth would think that fighting and invading was just and glorious.
But the paper could not contain the fire, and such a lame and clumsy lie could not be hidden under the atrocities of the invaders. After Yamazaki arrived in China, he served as an accompanying military doctor of the Tenth Regiment of the Japanese Infantry, and the ugly face of the Japanese army was soon exposed to him: burning and plundering, killing innocent people who were unarmed, and the people wherever the Japanese army went were not happy, bringing countless disasters to the ordinary people.
This put Yamazaki in a great contradiction, who had spent the past thirty years learning how to save lives, but now the scalpel had become a pistol, and he had become an executioner who plundered for unjust greed. This torment, which was contrary to his lifelong beliefs, tormented Yamazaki Hiroshi and made him feel so much pain that he finally chose to leave the barracks.
On a dark night in April 1938, Hiroshi Yamazaki escaped from the barracks in the darkness. But Yamazaki Hiroshi is facing a completely unfamiliar country, no direction, no future, no language, no communication, wind and food, several degrees of hunger, Yamazaki Hiroshi is living such a life, begging along the way, while moving forward in a daze, but also because of the fear of Japanese identity will bring panic, can only be silent.
But he didn't regret it, even if he starved to death on the way to escape, it was better than turning into a demon in the killing. After not knowing that he was starving for the first time, a poor Chinese couple saved his life. When he woke up, Yamazaki was touched by their kindness, and he was touched by this strange kindness, which was even more precious in a war-torn and devastated country. This is also one of the reasons why he is determined to stay in China and atone for his sins and repay his kindness.
He went through hardships to Jinan, Shandong Province, only one step away from returning to his hometown, but Yamazaki chose to settle in China, redeeming a little peace for his conscience that had not yet been extinguished. A Japanese compatriot helped him get a job as a guard in the barracks. Later, During his life in China, Yamazaki was touched again and again by the industriousness and kindness of the Chinese people.
Not only did he get along well with the local people, he had a few Chinese laborer brothers who worshiped him, and even married a Chinese woman, but he also spoke so smoothly that his wife did not even find out that he was Japanese. After the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, Yamazaki made contact with his relatives who were far away in Japan, and he made it clear that he did not want to return to Japan and wanted to stay in China and spend the rest of his life to atone for his sins and to pay back the sins owed by the Japanese army.
He also returned to his old business and opened a clinic in the countryside to put his medical skills back on display. Although his "Japanese" status initially made him ostracized and spurned, Yamazaki treated his patients wholeheartedly, seeing himself only as a doctor who had come to make up for it. In the polishing of time, Yamazaki's due diligence impressed the local people, and people finally accepted this different doctor.
The war is merciless, and the war brings endless pain to the people. The atonement and repentance of a Japanese soldier like Hiroshi Yamazaki, whose conscience is still alive, is also a comfort that is better than nothing.
