During the Period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, we Chinese people generally hated their impression of them, because the vast majority of Japanese soldiers, under the orders and brainwashing of their superiors, turned their weapons against the unarmed people, created a large number of massacres in China, and brought great disasters to the Chinese people.
However, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, there was a Japanese soldier, he was different from most Japanese soldiers, although he came to China to participate in the war, he did not kill a Chinese, because he was dissatisfied with the army of his country killing people, he fled the army, because of fate with a Chinese woman married and had children, until 35 years later, his wife did not know his identity, he is Yamazaki Hiroshi, in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was a special Japanese soldier.
Hiroshi Yamazaki, who came to China to fight
Born in 1908 in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, Yamazaki Hiroshi was an authentic Japanese, in 1937, when Japan invaded China in full swing, Yamazaki Hiroshi was forced to become a Japanese soldier, left his hometown, followed the large army to China, before coming to China, Yamazaki Hiroshi was also a veterinarian.
After coming to China, Yamazaki Hiroshi followed the troops to various battles, at that time, not long after the July 7 Incident, the Japanese army quickly occupied many areas of eastern China, where the various atrocities of the Japanese army made it difficult for Yamazaki Hiroshi to accept, he did not expect that the soldiers of his own country treated the Chinese people in such a way.
Six months after coming to China, Yamazaki Hiroshi, because he was not accustomed to the burning and looting of the army and destroying the lives of others, took advantage of the night to flee the army and planned to return to his hometown of Okayama Prefecture in Japan alone. Yamazaki heard that there was a Shandong Peninsula in the east, which was closest to Japan, and Yamazaki, who had escaped from the army, had been running east.
It was a time of war, and there was not enough food and entanglement in the process of escaping, so Yamazaki walked very hard, begging along the street, because he was not familiar with the Chinese language, even if it was begging, it was extremely difficult. When Yamazaki begged all the way along the street to Jinan, Shandong, he stopped walking and lived in Jinan ever since.
Met the other half
According to Yamazaki's own recollection, when he fled to Jinan, the people there treated him very well, giving him food and water to drink. Yamazaki Hiroshi, who settled in Jinan, one day he met a woman who fled from Tangshan, after the two met, because of their respective situations, the two felt sorry for each other, not long, in the era of war, having a companion is better than a person, after a period of understanding and other people's media, the two finally entered the marriage hall and gave birth to a daughter.
Yamazaki's wife did not know that her husband was a Japanese soldier who had come to fight in China, only that he was a Japanese overseas Chinese, and Yamazaki Hiroshi did not tell his wife the truth before, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble and misunderstanding, because at that time the Japanese people generally hated the Japanese soldiers, because of the chaos in China and the displacement of the people, which were inseparable from Japan's aggression.
After Mr. and Mrs. Yamazaki gave birth to a daughter, Yamazaki gave her a very literary name "Yamanon Yun". After settling in Jinan, Mr. and Mrs. Yamazaki did not do nothing, but relied on their previous experience as veterinarians in Japan to open a private clinic in Jinan, where they lived for decades.
Atone for the sins of your country
Yamazaki Hiroshi opened a clinic in Jinan, he sat every day to treat people who needed to see a doctor, as long as it was a disease he could cure, Yamazaki Hiroshi would do his best, and only charged a small cost. For those who are sick but don't have the money to see a doctor, Yamazaki always offers free treatment.
Yamazaki Hiroshi's art and virtue gradually spread in the local area, people's evaluation of him is very high, in fact, this is not worth mentioning in Yamazaki Hiroshi's heart, because Yamazaki Hiroshi was helped by the Chinese people in the most difficult time, and now he can survive by relying on the local people's food to give him saliva to survive, to treat people's diseases, it can be said that he is repaying the favor.
Yamazaki Hiroshi has always had the idea of atonement for the sins of his country, so he not only saves sick Chinese through his own medical skills, but also when there are disasters in China, such as earthquakes and floods, Yamazaki Hiroshi will take the initiative to donate, although the money is not much, but the heart is priceless.
To atone for his sins, Yamazaki made a decision in 2003 to donate his body for use at the Institute of Medicine after his death. Because Yamazaki's nationality is Japanese, the hospital cannot decide on this requirement, so the matter is temporarily shelved. A few years later, Yamazaki again applied to the hospital for a request for donation of his body after his death, and this time the hospital approved it, and Yamazaki Hiroshi was able to do so.
In 2010, Hiroshi Yamazaki died at the age of 103, and his body was donated to the medical school of Shandong University for medical research. Yamazaki Hiroshi's main purpose in doing this is to atone for his sins, he once saw the Japanese soldiers invading China on the Chinese of various massacres, once as a Japanese soldier, although he did not kill a Chinese, but the conscience of Yamazaki Hiroshi believes that he is guilty, the entire Japanese military is guilty.
Hiroshi Yamazaki once said:
Fighting a war in someone else's country is definitely guilty, the emperor has made a mistake, and those who participate in the war are also wrong, they are all sinners
It is enough to see Yamazaki Hiroshi's views on the Japanese army's invasion of China, as a Japanese, Yamazaki Hiroshi affirmed that the emperor of his country was guilty, and those who participated in the war were guilty, which is a profound reflection on Japan's war of aggression against China.
epilogue
Although Yamazaki was Japanese, he was also forced to come to China to participate in the war of aggression against China, but with a conscience and kindness, he soon hated war and hated the killing of innocent people by soldiers. Hiroshi Yamazaki himself did not kill a single person, chose to escape from this unjust army, help the suffering Chinese people, open clinics, treat diseases and save people, and atone for his country through his own actions.
The Japanese army invaded China, Yamazaki Hiroshi can not change, the Japanese army's atrocities in China, it can be said that it has nothing to do with Yamazaki Hiroshi. Hiroshi Yamazaki's donation of his body after his death is enough to show that he really wants to atone for his sins and wants to do something for Chinese.
