I am Wolf Jun, an engineering boy who accompanies you to read history
In August 1940, the Hundred Regiments War began, and Marshal Nie Rongzhen's command post was thrown into the attack on the Zhengtailu Rikou. In the battle against the Japanese-controlled Jingguang Coal Mine, the Eighth Route Army rescued two Japanese children, the eldest of whom was five or six years old and the youngest was still in his infancy.
On August 21, 1940, Nie Shuai, who was commanding the battle on the front line, learned that the troops had saved two Japanese girls whose parents had died on the battlefield, so he ordered them to be taken to the command post. Nie Shuai said: "Although the Japanese have maimed countless of our compatriots, the children are innocent, and they are also victims of war, and we must take good care of them." ”
About half a day later, the two children were sent to the command post. Nie Shuai first picked up the swaddled baby, saw that her wounds were well bandaged, and was sleeping peacefully, so he instructed the nurse to take good care of the child. Nie Shuai knew that the troops lacked medical treatment and medicine, and that the injury of the baby was even more dangerous, so he instructed that it must be well treated.
Then Nie Shuai pulled over the slightly older child and asked her name kindly, knowing that the little girl's name was "Xingzi", and this girl was Mihoko. Nie Shuai saw that Mihoko had a frightened expression, so he took out a sweet pear, washed it and handed it to Mihoko to eat.
Nie Shuai then instructed the cooking class to cook some porridge for Mihoko, and also asked the guards to go to the village to find nursing women and feed the infant children. During the meal, Nie Shuai personally fed porridge to Mei Suizi, and Mei Suizi gradually let down her vigilance and began to pull Nie Shuai's pants, running forward and running after him.
However, at that time, the war was becoming more and more intense, the Japanese Kou swept frequently, the troops were often transferred, and it was certainly not appropriate to take two small children into the battle. For the safety of the two children, Nie Shuai arranged for a fellow villager to take the two children to Shijiazhuang with a pick and hand them over to the Japanese army for adoption.
Afraid that the two children would cry on the road, Nie Shuai personally put a lot of pears in the box of Mihoko. Nie Shuai also wrote a letter to the Japanese army explaining the situation of the two children, and in the letter called on the Japanese army to reflect on what they had done and rise up against the unjust war launched by the Japanese warlords.
After the two little girls were sent away, there was no more news, but Nie Shuai often remembered this matter and worried about them from time to time. However, the war was tense, and Nie Shuai lost the news of his two children, and it was not until 1972, after the normalization of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations, that Nie Shuai had the hope of finding these two "Japanese daughters".
In 1980, people's daily published Yao Yuanfang's "Little Girl in Japan, Where Are You?" The report was subsequently reprinted by Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun, which quickly caused a major reaction in China and Japan, and the reporters of japan's Yomiuri Shimbun finally found Mihoko living in Kyushu through careful searching.
At this time, Mihoko was married and had children, was a mother of three children, and ran a grocery store with her husband, and lived a happy life. Her little sister, the infant child who was rescued with her, died of her injuries after being sent to Shijiazhuang.
On July 14, 1980, the Mihoko family specially came to China from Japan to thank Nie Shuai in person, and together brought the condolences and respect of the Japanese people, and of course, the apologies of some japanese troops who invaded China that year to the Chinese.
When Nie Shuai received Mihoko, Mihoko burst into tears with excitement and repeatedly thanked this life-saving benefactor. During a conversation with Nie Shuai, Mihoko gave Nie Shuai a box of dried scallops, saying that it was entrusted to nie Shuai by a Hokkaido fisherman to express her good wishes for the Chinese people.
Later, Mihoko expressed to Nie Shuai the apologies of the old Japanese soldiers who fought on Zhengtai Road, saying that these old soldiers repeatedly asked Mihoko to tell the Chinese people: They are sorry for the Chinese people, very sorry. After hearing this, Nie Shuai said: The people of the two countries must remember history, take history as a mirror and look forward, and hope that China and Japan will turn their differences into jade, continue to be friendly from generation to generation, and never see each other militarily.
At this meeting, Nie Shuai and Mihoko were called father and daughter, and when they were parting, Nie Shuai gave Mihoko a picture of Pine Bamboo Plum "Three Friends of the Cold Year". It means that the friendship between China and Japan in the future should remain vigorous like the pine bamboo plum that never withers in this cold winter. After returning to China, Mihoko deliberately raised the house in order to hang this painting.
On May 5, 1986, Mihoko and his wife came to Visit Nie Shuai again in China. Mihoko said: "My father (Nie Shuai) wants to contribute to my promotion of Sino-Japanese friendship, hoping to promote the friendship between my hometown capital city and my father's hometown of Jiangjin City. ”
In 1999, the 100th anniversary of Nie Shuai's birth, under the promotion of Meishozi and the active promotion of China and Japan, the two cities were finally promoted to become sister cities. Afterwards, Mihoko said excitedly, "I have finally fulfilled my father's last wish." ”
Repaying grievances with virtue is a virtue of our Chinese nation, and sometimes it seems good, and it is also good when Nie Shuai was looking for a "Japanese daughter." However, when put into the present view, it seems that it is not necessarily the case, and for Japan now, it is more suitable for the original words: "How can we repay germany with virtue?" Repay grievances with directness, and repay virtue with virtue. ”
