The Japanese invasion of China caused indelible and painful memories to the Chinese people, and now Japan, not only did not have the slightest reflection and apologized to China, but once covered up history. The actions of the Japanese can never be forgiven by China, and they have hurt the innocent people of China, including Liu Lianren, whose experience is sad to say.
Liu Lianren is a native of Gaomi County, Shandong Province, and makes a living as a farmer. In august of the 1944 lunar calendar, a good season for farmers to sow seeds, one day, Liu Lianren was busy with farm work and preparing to go home to rest and eat. Suddenly, a bunch of puppet troops sprang up on the road and directly arrested Liu Lianren forcibly, not only Liu Lianren, but also more than twenty people were arrested at the same time. If you want to go back, you can, as long as you take the money to redeem people here in the puppet army, the other twenty have been redeemed by the family members, only Liu Lianren, because there is really no money, can only go to the Japanese army as a laborer.
In total, more than 80 people were arrested in Gaomi County, and during the transportation, the captured people tried to flee, but they were arrested one after another, and they also got sick and injured, but the puppet army did not care whether they were dead or alive, and did not send doctors to heal them.
The captured people in Gaomi County were sent to Qinghai, where the Japanese army forcefully photographed them, fingerprinted them, and then caught up with the Japanese freighter "Prut" and transported them to Japan. In this way, the Chinese laborers who are about to go to Japan have more than 800 cargo ships on board.
The freighter's destination was Hokkaido, Japan, during which Liu Lianren and others experienced six days of turbulence. After Liu Lianren descended to Japanese soil, he was forcibly taken to the mine to dig coal.
The environment of the mine was extremely harsh, and the Japanese oppressed the hard laborers all the time. By November, the temperature in Hokkaido plummeted to minus zero, and 200 hard workers could only eat a bag of semi-coarse noodles together every day, they were too hungry to even choose food, as long as it was edible wild vegetables, even wood chips, they all passed through the mouth to stuff. Liu Lianren they also did not have thick clothes, they could only keep rubbing their hands for warmth, and when they were hungry and cold, they most consumed people's will.
Not only that, but the Japanese also arranged heavy work for Liu Lianren, who had to dig two tons of coal a day, and they had to work non-stop to avoid being whipped. When working, the Japanese did not give them any protective safety measures, and the working environment in the coal mine was harsh, smelly, and the air quality was extremely poor. In the eyes of the Japanese, these hard laborers are ants, and once they make a mistake, they either fight or scold.
Therefore, in the process of coal mining, some people were frozen to death, some people died of starvation because they did not have enough to eat, some people died of bad mining environment, and some were tortured to death by the brutality of the Japanese. Almost every once in a while, people died. The Japanese would order the living to carry the bodies of the dead on their backs, and Liu Lianren had personally experienced them, and the tragic condition of the corpses showed the brutality of the Japanese, but they were powerless to resist.
Eight months passed slowly, with eyes closed every day, living a difficult life, originally 200 people, and then less than 70 people were left. Liu Lianren thought that since he worked hard, he would also be bullied to death by the Japanese, so why not fight and simply flee directly, which was more meaningful than a humiliating death.
Liu Lianren made this preparation, and then one day, together with four partners, he rushed into the gang room to grab some dry food, and jumped into the septic tank under the pressure of enemy machine gun fire. The enemy did not stop the pursuit, they climbed out of the septic tank, ran all the way into the deep mountains and old forests, which threw off the Pursuit of the Japanese Army.
However, after escaping from the mining area, the way back home was still vast, it was winter, in order to keep warm, they could only dig holes to hide in, for which they were chased by bears, in order to fill the hunger, they could only dig wild vegetables, dig potatoes, although the life was difficult, but much happier than under the oppression of the Japanese. However, the pace of Japanese capture never stopped, and one winter passed, and two people were captured.
Liu Lianren and the other two people, who had experienced the test of life and death, could be counted to the seashore, hoping that the fishermen would be able to send them back to the motherland, but the other two were subsequently taken away by the Japanese army, leaving Only Liu Lianren alone to escape.
In the next 13 years, Liu Lianren survived in the wilderness like a wild man, he did not have enough to eat, he was not clothed, he could only sleep in the wild, but Liu Lianren relied on strong willpower until 1958. The hunter Kiyoshi Kwata saved him, and Liu Lianren was able to return to China.
After Liu Lianren's death, his son received 20 million yen in compensation, but this compensation was insignificant compared to Japan's atrocities. Liu Lianren survived, but the others did not have such good luck.
