Before officially reading this article, Xiaobian would like to let everyone choose one: "If during the War of Resistance, you accidentally saw two unattended Japanese girls on the side of the road, what would you do?" ”
1. Give them to the organization and let the organization deal with them;
2. Leave them alone and let them fend for themselves;
3. Take them away and raise them as adults;
4. Since you are Japanese, of course, you must take revenge and kill them.
Next, let's look at a true story that happened during the War of Resistance.
The time goes back to 1940, when after the Eighth Route Army launched the Hundred Regiments War, Nie Rongzhen commanded the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region to attack the Japanese army on the eastern section of the Zhengtai Railway, and soon the transportation hub of the Japanese army was paralyzed. During the attack on the new mining area of Iejeong, Japanese station commander Kiyotoshi Kato and his wife were killed in the war, leaving behind two young daughters, the eldest daughter named Mihoko Kato, 6 years old, and the younger daughter named Ryumiko Kato, still in her swaddling.
Just as the soldiers were preparing to evacuate, they suddenly heard the cries of children, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army looked inside hesitantly, no, there were two children! Then our soldiers risked their lives to rescue MihoKato and the baby who were trembling in the corner, and immediately sent the injured Miho to the ambulance station of the Eighth Route Army, at which point they discovered that the two children were Japanese.
Although saving people is a great thing, but saving the children of the enemy, for a while, the soldiers' feelings are very complicated, what should they do with these two Japanese children next? At this time, Nie Rongzhen received the report, knew the situation, and immediately instructed the children to be sent to the headquarters, and the soldiers did the same.
It is also "strange" to say that the 6-year-old Mihoko was suddenly stared at by so many tall warriors and was not afraid, General Nie waved at her, she walked over, and also ate the pear that General Nie gave her, and later obediently let General Nie feed her. Looking at this well-behaved Japanese girl, General Nie decided to help her, after all, the child was not wrong, so after that, Mihoko followed General Nie every day, as if he were a family member.
However, considering that the war was tight at that time, and the guns on the battlefield were ruthless, no one could take care of the two children, General Nie finally decided to send Kato Mihoko and Kato Ryumiko to Shijiazhuang controlled by the Japanese army, so General Nie found a local reliable compatriot and asked him to send the two children to the Japanese military camp.
At that time, the compatriots actually did not understand that the Japanese were so Chinese, we could completely ignore their children, why should we bother to help them? General Nie saw his doubts and explained to him, "Although the enemy brutally killed our compatriots, these two children are innocent, and they are also victims of war!" Looking at Nie Shuai's eyes, the fellow understood.
Before leaving, General Nie loaded a lot of pears for Mihoko, he knew that she loved to eat, and then handed a handwritten letter to his compatriots and asked him to pass it on to the Japanese army, the content of the letter was as follows:
"The Japanese valves are violent, invading China, and the war lasts for four years... This time, our army attacked the Zhengtai Line, recaptured the East King's House, and brought two weak Japanese women... However, the Chinese people never regarded the Japanese soldiers and the people as enemies, so they persisted in resisting the war, vowed to die against the Japanese, and were forced to defend themselves against the Japanese invasion. The spirit of the internationalism of our Eighth Route Army, the most benevolent and righteous, has a beginning and an end, and must fight to the end for the survival of the Chinese nation and the eternal peace of mankind, and must fight to the end against the barbaric and violent Sun Valve. ”
After that, the Japanese army in Shijiazhuang accepted two children and replied to General Nie Rongzhen with a letter - "Receiving the children, thank you very much for the humanitarian spirit of your army." Unfortunately, the baby Ryumiko Kato died in the hospital shortly after suffering a serious foot injury, while her sister Mihoko Kato was sent back to Japan. Since then, the contact has been severed.
In 1980, the People's Liberation Army Daily interviewed General Nie, and after lamenting the cruelty of the war, he suddenly remembered the Japanese little girl Mihoko who had been saved decades ago, and wondered what happened to the two children now? Subsequently, a "Japanese little girl where are you?" The report was published in the newspapers and sparked a heated discussion, and even the Japanese saw it, and they spontaneously searched for the two little girls who had been saved by General Nie.
Surprisingly, it wasn't long before the Japanese media actually found Mihoko Kato! At this time, Mihoko Kato, who is more than 40 years old, is already a mother of 3 children, and she was surprised when the reporter came to her house, but when she learned that General Nie was still remembering her, Mihoko shed tears, and she immediately decided to take her family to see General Nie. In the autumn of 1980, Mihoko's family visited China.
After General Nie learned of this, he asked his daughter Nie Li to personally pick her up, and on the morning of July 14, General Nie and Mihoko's whole family met, and both sides were very excited, General Nie patted Mihoko's head as he did in the past, and Mihoko burst into tears with excitement. Later, the Japanese have always honored General Nie as "the messenger of Sino-Japanese friendship" and "living bodhisattva".
