In the history of China's war, the war of aggression against China can definitely be regarded as an epic lesson of blood and tears, and Japan's intrusive into China's territory to wantonly invade, rob property, and massacre the people can be described as a vicious act and notorious. In fact, not only China, but also in other battlefields of World War II, countries have a bad evaluation of Japan, and everyone hates the Japanese, most of which is due to Japan's militarist education and belief in the supremacy of the emperor. Although everyone hated Japan's evil deeds, in the Chinese battlefield of World War II, there were also incidents of Chinese peasants treating Japanese wounded soldiers, although this caused a great sensation at the time.
Around 1945, Japan was on the verge of surrender, Japanese troops were withdrawing from China, and there was a cheer in the country. However, although most of the Japanese troops withdrew from Chinese territory, a small number of seriously wounded Japanese soldiers were still abandoned and left behind, and there was such a serious Japanese soldier in the Henan region of China at that time. Ishida Higashishiro was an abandoned member of the Japanese retreat, and because of his serious wounds during the battle, he was stranded on the battlefield and ignored.
Sun Bangjun, an honest farmer in a village in Henan, China, coincidentally discovered the dying stone field. It is reasonable to say that at that time, China was sacked by Japan, and Chinese should hate the Japanese people very much, but the kind Sun Bangjun really couldn't bear to see a big living person die in front of him, and after a long time of entanglement, he still decided to save him and brought him home.
Bringing a Japanese back to the village, you can imagine the attitude of the villagers, completely unable to accept ishida's existence, but because Sun Bangjun has been vigorously defending, the villagers resist the urge to retaliate. Later, after Ishida recovered from his injuries, he would also help with farm work, but the villagers saw that he was honest and did not have any bad thoughts, so they also acquiesced to his existence and even gave him food. Sun Bangjun lived a hard life, but he would never be hungry for Ishida, so in this way, Ishida stayed in China, and stayed for 47 years.
Even after Sun Bangjun's death, he also told his descendants to treat Ishida kindly, and Sun Bangjun's son Sun Baojie has always kept his father's advice in mind, treated Ishida as before, and also helped him find relatives at Ishida's request. Sun Baojie has written to the relevant departments many times, but has not responded. Later, one day in 1992, the Japanese exchange delegation came to China for a friendly visit, and sun Bangjun's family heard about it and dragged the government to help contact it, thinking that Ishida's dream of returning home was fulfilled. After understanding the situation, the exchange group thanked Sun Bangjun's family very much, they took Sun Bangjun's good deeds to heart, and helped Ishida go home.
Ishida, who later returned to Japan, thanked Sun Bangjun's family for saving their lives, not only carried forward their good deeds, but also made certain contributions to the construction of the local hometown, because the Sun family refused his huge amount of thanks, so he invested money in the education cause of the county in Henan, and also built a "Sino-Japanese Friendship Taizeng Botanical Garden" in the local area to repay the villagers who expressed goodwill to him.
