In China's modern history, Japan has brought us great suffering, from the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War in 1894 to the end of Japan's surrender in 1945, in the past half century, the Chinese who died under the iron hooves of the Japanese Kou are innumerable, which is a very painful and humiliating history.
We hate the aggressors, but hatred should not be blind, and as far as the war level is concerned, ordinary Japanese people who aspire to peace are also victims.
In May 1941, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China established the "Japanese Workers' and Peasants' School" in Yan'an, where the students were all Japanese prisoners, and the purpose of the school was to transform them and make these Japanese realize the injustice of this war.
Chairman Mao's handwritten inscription at the beginning of the school year reads: "The Chinese people and the Japanese people are the same, and there is only one enemy, that is, Japanese militarism and The scum of China's nation!" ”
We must fight back fiercely against the enemy of aggression, but for ordinary people, Chinese always treat each other kindly, and today we will take a warm story that spans wars and countries.
In July 1980, a Japanese woman named Mihoko Kato came to China, saying that she was looking for her father, who was still the founding marshal of new China.
Pulling the time back to 1940, in order to combat our anti-Japanese resistance in North China, the Japanese Kou implemented the cage policy of "taking the railway as the pillar, the highway as the chain, and the bunker as the lock", and the Japanese army built many bunker strongholds along the Zhengtai Railway in an attempt to trap our army to death.
In order to break through the blockade, the Eighth Route Army, under the leadership of Peng Dehuai and others, launched the Hundred Regiments War, and countless Chinese warriors rose up to resist, causing the Japanese to suffer very serious trauma.
A total of 105 regiments of the Eighth Route Army participated in the battle and lasted for more than three months, and Nie Rongzhen, who was then the commander of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, was also a major figure, and he commanded the troops to carry out ground-breaking battles on the Zhengtai, Jinpu, Pinghan Lines, and other railways, and achieved very good results.
On October 20, a battalion of the 3rd Regiment of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region, accompanied by an engineer unit, attacked the New Mine area of Jingxing, and with the cooperation of the miners, the power supply of the factory area was turned off, and the Japanese station chief Kiyoshi Kato was seriously wounded and captured, and died not long after, and his wife died of artillery fire.
Later, when cleaning up the rubble, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army found two little girls, the eldest of whom looked only five or six years old, hugging her infant sister tightly, and the little girl was crying very pitifully.
After some questioning, it was learned that the parents of the two had died in the war and that there were no other relatives in the area.
The soldiers of the Eighth Route Army knew that the two were descendants of the Japanese, that the death of their parents was definitely related to the attack of our army, and that there was no way to do anything about the battlefield, but the two children were innocent, and for a while these people did not know what to do, so they had to report the situation to Nie Rongzhen.
When Nie Rongzhen learned of this, he only said one word: Immediately send them to the command post.
So the two Japanese children were escorted by 4 fighters and two militiamen of the participating units to the Field Mobilization Committee of the Fourth Division, and the Mobilization Committee immediately sent someone to carry the two children to Nie Rongzhen's front-line command post in baskets.
When we first met, the older girl looked frightened and confused. Nie Rongzhen felt that the child was cute and leaned down to ask her name, and the girl said vigorously, "Xingzi, Xingzi."
Seeing her like this, Nie Rongzhen knew that she would have to wait until she was familiar with it before communicating, so she asked someone to find a few local snowflake pears, brought them and handed them to the girl, but the girl did not answer.
Nie Rongzhen was strange at first, and then quickly reacted, laughing and saying, "Oh, the child loves to be clean", and then took the pear to wash, and this time the girl did pick it up. Nie Rongzhen nodded satisfactorily, picked up the sleeping little girl and looked at it, and asked the guards to quickly carry her to the village, trying to find a nursing woman to feed the child, and asking the doctor of the military region to treat the little girl's injuries.
The older girl was named Mihoko Kato, the Japanese woman mentioned above who came to China, and her sister was named Ryumiko Kato, who was only 7 months old at the time.
Why take in Japanese? At that time, many people in the military region did not understand, and Nie Rongzhen replied: "We just want to practice revolutionary humanitarianism!" This is the noblest emotion of human beings, regardless of nationality.
Because she left a good impression for the first time, Mihoko often stayed by his side, tugging at his pants with her hands and following him wherever she went.
Nie Rongzhen also liked this girl, he had a daughter named Nie Li, but unfortunately in 1931, Nie Rongzhen separated when her daughter was one year old because of her work, and it was not until 1945 that the father and daughter were reunited. At this time, Nie Rongzhen didn't even know where her daughter was or what she looked like, maybe he cared for Mihoko as a daughter.
The two also took a group photo, if they did not know, they would definitely think that it was a father and daughter, who could have imagined that the two people in the photo were the commanders of the army of the war victim countries, and the other was a weak orphan of the war invading country.
At that time, during the war years, things were busy and turbulent, and Nie Rongzhen felt that the two little girls were more dangerous around him, so although he did not give up, he decided to send them to the Japanese headquarters in Shijiazhuang.
Nie Rongzhen personally wrote a letter of more than 800 words and sent it to the Japanese military camp together with two little girls, in which he counted the atrocities committed by the Japanese army and called on the officers and men of the Japanese army to come with the Chinese people to jointly oppose this war of aggression against China, especially in the last paragraph, which spoke out the hearts of the Chinese people!
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. If we hope that the emperor and others will suddenly awaken and join hands with the Chinese soldiers and the people to seek liberation, Japan will be very fortunate, and China will be very fortunate.
"We must fight to the end for the survival of the Chinese nation and the eternal peace of mankind, and we must fight to the end with the barbaric and violent Sun Valve to the end" This is our attitude toward the enemy Chinese!
At the same time, in order to avoid the two girls being hungry on the road, Nie Rongzhen deliberately took candy and food, as well as the snowflake pears that they met for the first time, hugged the two little girls before leaving, touched their heads, and instructed the fellow villagers to level the basket.
Thoughtful and caring, this is Nie Rongzhen's love, but also the benevolence in Chinese bones.
After this parting, the two people did not see each other for decades, but both sides remembered in their hearts, in 1980, Yao Yuanfang, who had been doing propaganda work, overheard Nie Rongzhen talk about this past and was very touched in his heart.
So Yao Yuanfang published an article in the People's Daily entitled "Little Girl of Japan, Where Are You", which immediately caused a sensation in Japan, and the Japanese called Nie Shuai a "living bodhisattva", and a large number of people began to look for Mihoko. In the end, the reporter of Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" found it in Kyushu after much exploration.
At this time, Mihoko was already a mother of three children and shared a small grocery store with her husband, and when the reporter told her about it, she burst into tears.
In Mihoko's heart, Nie Rongzhen is equivalent to the person who gave her a second life, can be described as a reborn parent, she has always remembered him, but the identity difference is too big to dare to go to him, did not expect that "Nie Daddy" still remembers himself.
Not long after, after the reporter crossed the bridge, Mihoko came to China. On July 14, Marshal Nie Rongzhen received her at the Great Hall of the People.
When Mihoko saw Marshal Nie Rongzhen, she was very excited, and gently touched the back of Marshal Nie's hand with her forehead to express her most sincere gratitude and respect for many years!
What is the national spirit? What is the style of a great power? Nie Shuai showed it very perfectly in this matter, the enemy is the enemy, the innocent is innocent, he will never let go of any enemy, but he will never implicate any innocent!
