There was a dark period in China's modern history, that is, the war of aggression against China initiated by Japan. In order to satisfy its desire to conquer and to strive for more available resources, Japan has caused indelible harm to the tens of millions of people in our country.
Japanese soldiers were cruel and ruthless, but there were still a very few soldiers who, when their consciences were discovered, turned to righteousness and atone for what Japan had done in the rest of their lives. And a Japanese man living in seclusion in Shandong, married a Chinese woman, and only learned that he was a Japanese soldier after thirty years of marriage.
From primary school medicine, it became a tool of war for the country
Hiroshi Yamazaki was born in 1908 in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, to working parents and a wealthy family. His father taught Yamazaki Hiroshi to study well from an early age, because his father was not highly educated, so he hoped that his children would succeed in their studies.
Under the supervision of his father, Yamazaki Hiroshi has achieved particularly well academically since childhood. Moreover, Yamazaki's mother's family is a medical family, and under the influence of her mother, Yamazaki Hiroshi decided to apply for a medical university when he was in high school. Hiroshi Yamazaki's grades in high school are also outstanding.
During the college entrance examination, Hiroshi Yamazaki was successfully admitted to a medical university in Japan. Five years later, after graduating, Yamazaki entered the local hospital internship with excellent graduation results, and Yamazaki Hiroshi thought that he would be a conscientious doctor in his lifetime, but his life changed dramatically a few years later.
Japan launched a war of aggression against China in 1937, because Japan is an island country with a small population base, so it needs to recruit civilian troops. Yamazaki had an older brother who was chosen to join the army, but his brother's wife had just become pregnant, and his father decided to let Yamazaki take his brother's place in the army.
After Yamazaki signed up for the army, because he was already a doctor who had been working for several years, the army incorporated him into the medical corps. During the training period of the troops, Yamazaki basically did not learn how to shoot, and was responsible for the daily case handling of the troops.
After witnessing the cruelty of the Japanese army, he decided to abandon the dark and throw himself into the light
More than three months later, Hiroshi Yamazaki boarded a ship bound for China. He didn't know what was going to happen in the future, but he knew that as a medic soldier, he didn't have to charge at least on the front line, so the risk of death was particularly small, and he wanted to return to his hometown alive.
After landing in China, Yamazaki rushed to the battlefield with his troops. After arriving at the front-line combat units, Yamazaki began to deal with wounded soldiers. At that time, Japan's medical supplies were relatively abundant, and the logistics support was relatively stable, so Yamazaki's work was basically no obstacle.
As the combat troops advanced to a city, Yamazaki saw the troops begin to engage the Chinese defenders. The entire war lasted for two days and one night, and Yamazaki Hiroshi basically had no time to rest, and kept treating the wounds of the wounded soldiers.
After the victory of the war, Yamazaki entered the city with his troops. But at this time, Yamazaki Hiroshi could not believe his eyes, and after the Japanese soldiers entered the city, they rushed into the homes of ordinary people. Some innocent unarmed people were shot or stabbed to death with bayonets.
Moreover, the Japanese soldiers raped the women at will, and the whole city suddenly became a purgatory on earth. The smell of blood filled the sky, and the unbearable scene made Yamazaki begin to doubt the purpose of the combat troops.
Since it was a war of aggression, why did yamazaki kill innocents indiscriminately when the city had already been breached, Yamazaki Hiroshi could not accept such a force. Late one night, Hiroshi Yamazaki left the army in the dark.
What Yamazaki didn't know, however, was that after he left, a revolutionary force launched a surprise attack on this combat unit, and this vicious and wayward force got the retribution they deserved.
When Yamazaki left, he had already changed into the clothes of ordinary people in our country, and then pretended to be refugees during the day and followed the refugee team all the way north. When Yamazaki arrived in Jinan, Yamazaki disguised himself as a japanese expatriate who had fallen into distress and became a warehouse manager under the protection of the Japanese government.
Every day, Yamazaki Hiroshi thought of finding an opportunity to go back to his hometown, but he knew that if he went back, he would definitely be treated as a deserter, and at that time, not only would he not be able to reunite with his family, but he would also be killed, so Yamazaki Hiroshi could only settle down temporarily.
After a few years, Hiroshi Yamazaki became a local doctor. Since Yamazaki studied traditional Chinese medicine at the university, he opened a clinic in Jinan. At first, Yamazaki's clinic business was OK, because it was invested by the Japanese army.
After Japan's defeat, Yamazaki did not return to his hometown with his troops, but decided to become a local doctor who saved lives and injured. Because Yamazaki Hiroshi knew that the Japanese army had done too many things that hurt nature and reason, he wanted to atone for his country through his own meager efforts.
Spend the rest of your life atonement for your sins
After Japan became a defeated country, Yamazaki's clinic was closed at the first time, but because Yamazaki did not do anything out of the ordinary during the Japanese invasion of China, but only did his duty as a doctor, so his clinic reopened.
When Yamazaki was able to become a doctor again, he faced a very serious problem, that is, there were no patients. Because Japan has caused indelible harm to our people, the Chinese people hate the Japanese to the bone, and it is impossible for a Japanese doctor to see themselves.
Hiroshi Yamazaki began a free clinic because he wanted to atone for his sins and he wanted to redeem himself. Hiroshi Yamazaki treats some of the poorer families and does not ask for any medical expenses after the diagnosis and treatment is completed. And as long as someone looks for a doctor, Yamazaki Hiroshi will also take the initiative to provide door-to-door service.
Soon, Hiroshi Yamazaki won the trust of the people. Moreover, Hiroshi Yamazaki is also a graduate of a medical university in Japan, so the medical level is very high, and he also has a fairly good treatment for some difficult diseases. After another five years, Yamazaki began working at a hospital in Jinan City.
In his third year at the hospital, mr. Yamazaki was introduced by a colleague and married a Chinese woman. Two years later, he also had a daughter. In this way, Yamazaki worked as a doctor in Jinan City for 30 years, and for decades, his wife never knew that her husband was once a Japanese soldier.
After Hiroshi Yamazaki retired, he wanted to return to his hometown to visit his relatives. After applying for verification, Yamazaki finally returned to his dream hometown, but his parents had long since died. His brother also died not long ago because of a serious illness.
Hiroshi Yamazaki sighed that after so many years, it is really a thing or a person.
After staying at his cousin's house for a few days, Yamazaki was about to return to China with his luggage, and when his cousin asked Yamazaki why he didn't stay in his hometown, Yamazaki replied that my mission was not over.
After Yamazaki returned to China, although he did not work in the hospital, he became a free door-to-door doctor. As long as someone in the vicinity has any disease, he can give a corresponding treatment plan.
