In 1977, diplomacy between China and Japan had been normalized, and exchanges between the two countries were increasing. At this moment, Yoshio Omiya, president of the China-Japan Friendship Association, came to China and received a warm reception. But Yoshio Omiya came to China this time, and he still had a selfish heart, that is, to find his daughter, whom he had not seen for more than thirty years. When he first arrived in China, he made a request to the Chinese receptionist: "I beg you to help me find my daughter." In fact, many years ago, Omiya Yoshio searched around for information about his daughter, who was called Shizuko Omiya, who was forcibly recruited into the army by the Japanese government during World War II, and later went to the battlefield, and since then there has been no news.
In the decades after the end of the war, Yoshio Omiya kept searching for his daughter, and his wife died prematurely because of her longing. Now that he is nearly seventy years old, only one wish has not been fulfilled. The only information he could provide was that in 1945, she had been seen in a Japanese barracks in Rain, Burma. In order to occupy China, the Japanese government sent almost everyone in the country to the battlefield, and in this case, Omiya Shizuko was also forcibly sent to China. Omiya Yoshio felt that his daughter would not die on the battlefield and pleaded with the Chinese side to help find her.
After some searching, the only thing in 1945 in Lain, Burma was the Fiftieth Division of the New First Army. The staff found the then regimental commander, Qiao Minggu, and asked him if he had ever seen a similar Japanese female nurse. Qiao Minggu thought for a long time and replied, "We have captured a lot of prisoners of war, including a female nurse who always stayed with a soldier named Liu Yunda, and later went home with him." After the war, many soldiers chose to return to their hometowns, and Liu Yunda was one of them, but the regimental commander only knew that he was from Sichuan, and other information was not clear.
The female nurse is most likely Yoshio Omiya's daughter. After careful screening, the warrior named Liu Yunda was quickly found in Baisha Town. Local workers described Liu Yunda living with a woman named Mo Yuanhui, who appeared to be Japanese. Liu Yunda is now engaged in the physical work of pulling strips of stones, and the family is barely making ends meet. So the group went to Liu Yunda's hometown, and at that time Liu Yunda went out to work, and only Mo Yuanhui was left at home, and she was shocked to see a bunch of people coming to her home. A staff member asked, "May I ask, have you ever been to the battlefields of Burma, Shizuko Taimiya, Kanazawa, Japan?" ”
Mo Yuanhui hesitated for a moment, but still honestly admitted, "I am." Seeing that the other party immediately changed his face, Mo Yuanhui explained: "I did not deliberately conceal my identity, but the situation was grim at that time, I..." The visitor quickly continued: "We are here to find you!" Your father has been looking for you for many years. "What, is my father still alive?" Omiya Shizuko was very surprised, after more than ten years of absence from her hometown, after the war and migration, and the tension between China and Japan, she no longer had the luxury of seeing her family, but she did not expect to be able to do so now.
In March 1945, the New First Army of the Expeditionary Force into Burma was engaged in battle with the Japanese-occupied Burmese Lain, and after eight days and eight nights of fierce fighting, the Japanese army was finally defeated and Rain was also conquered. The expeditionary force came to Burma since it came to Burma, and did not suffer less from the devils, and this battle captured many prisoners of war, and some of the expeditionary army soldiers were eager to kill these people immediately, and they asked the regimental commander Qiao Minggu to shoot these prisoners of war, and the regimental commander also approved.
Liu Yunda was a company commander at the time, and because he had read some books and had a good heart, he knew that the "Treaty of Geneva" stipulated that captured medical personnel could not be shot, so he went to the regiment commander and bitterly persuaded him to keep these people alive. These medical staff are all teenage girls, and if Qiao Minggu hastily shoots them, he may have to go to court-martial and be sentenced later. And these girls have not committed crimes, many of them are still forced to go to the battlefield, not to mention the lack of medical resources in the expeditionary force, they can also help deal with wounded soldiers. Qiao Minggu thought about it, agreed to his persuasion, and decided to shoot the Japanese soldiers directly, leaving The Japanese medical care.
Shizuko Omiya, who had just been captured, was very worried and afraid that she would be executed, and in this shadow, she decided to escape. One night, while the surrounding expeditionary forces were asleep, she secretly used stones to break the rope that bound her hands, and quietly fled to the distant dense forest. But due to limited vision at night, she accidentally kicked over a kettle, waking up several soldiers. Before Omiya Shizuko could escape from the camp, she was caught again, and Qiao Minggu was so angry that he pulled out his pistol and shouted, "I wanted to give them my life, but they didn't know how to lift themselves, so I had to shoot her!" ”
Liu Yunda was shocked to see this, and he hurriedly stopped: "Commander, aren't we just like devils like this, you can't kill her!" Qiao Minggu said disapprovingly, "You let her go this time, what if she runs away again next time?" Liu Yunda said firmly: "I am willing to make a military order!" If she escapes again, leave it at your disposal. Qiao Ming nodded helplessly and ordered someone to re-imprison Shizuko Omiya.
Shizuko Omiya, who was only seventeen years old at the time, was brainwashed by the propaganda of Japanese militarism, believing that the war was just and that it was glorious to be on the battlefield. It wasn't until she actually came to the front that she realized what a serious crime the Japanese had committed against innocent people. Liu Yunda noticed this lonely girl, always hiding aside and silently weeping, he felt very pitiful, and always took extra care of her. Omiya Shizuko was very vigilant, afraid that Liu Yunda was deliberately trying to harm herself, and threw away all the food he sent. Liu Yunda was not discouraged and took care of her as always.
Over time, Omiya Shizuko's attitude towards Liu Yunda has also changed a lot. In the past, she had been brainwashed by Japanese militarism and firmly believed that the war was right, but now that she was captured, Chinese not only did not hurt her, but also took care of her. She grew increasingly disgusted with the Japanese government that was waging war. He also actively participated in medical work for Liu Yunda's troops and helped treat the wounded. Over time, feelings also developed between the two.
Not long after, Japan surrendered, hearing the Japanese Emperor's announcement of defeat on the radio, many Japanese prisoners of war reacted greatly, and even committed suicide "martyrdom", but Omiya Shizuko breathed a long sigh of relief, her good nature, coupled with the influence of Liu Yunda and others, had long opposed the anti-human war launched by the emperor from the bottom of her heart. Shizuko Omiya was not involved in the killing, so she could return to Japan, and there was a special ferry to take her. On the day of departure, Liu Yunda went to the dock to send her, but Omiya Shizuko looked at the ship in silence for a while and firmly said to Liu Yunda: "I will not go back, I will stay with you." ”
Since Shizuko Omiya left her hometown for Myanmar, she has lost contact with her family. Now that her relatives are uncertain of life and death, she does not want to go back, so she did not choose to return to Japan, but stayed in China and returned to his hometown with Liu Yunda. Liu Yunda gave her a Chinese name and taught her Chinese, and for decades, Shizuko Omiya looked like an ordinary Chinese woman. But Japan is her hometown after all, and in the past, Sino-Japanese relations were not good, and she could not inquire about her family.
Now that she is being questioned by the staff, she knows that her father is still alive and has been looking for her. Shizuko Omiya waited for the opportunity to meet her parents and wanted to go back to see them, and she happily told Liu Yunda the good news. But Liu Yunda was worried, he didn't know if his wife could come back after she left. Omiya Shizuko comforted, "I'm just going back to see my father, and I'm sure I'll be back." "The matter of Shizuko Omiya has a great impact, and it has become an opportunity to show the friendship between China and Japan when they have just established diplomatic relations. Liu Yunda didn't say much, so he took his children to the dock to send Shizuko Omiya home.
A few days later, Shizuko Omiya's ship arrived at the Japanese port, and Yoshio Omiya, who had been waiting for a long time, recognized her at a glance. The father and daughter hugged each other excitedly, and Shizuko Omiya realized that her mother had been dead for many years. Yoshio Omiya sighed with emotion and said regretfully, "Unfortunately, your mother did not wait for this day." Shizuko Omiya said with tears in her eyes, "I am very satisfied that I can see my father." Shizuko Omiya returned to her hometown and visited relatives she hadn't seen in years.
Shizuko Omiya spent more than two years in Japan, and Liu Yunda waited in her hometown for more than two years. But he couldn't resist his mood and decided to go to Japan with his children to meet his grandfather. When Shizuko Omiya learned of this, she explained the incident to her father. After listening, Omiya Yoshio said to his daughter seriously: "We must face up to history, the people of both countries hope for peace, he has been taking care of you for so many years, and I should also meet my son-in-law." So Liu Yunda took the children and embarked on the road to Japan. When he got off the plane, he saw a gorgeously dressed woman smiling and greeting him, followed by a lot of help, which was his wife.
Liu Yunda was stunned, although he knew that The father of Shizuko Omiya, who was so time-consuming and laborious in searching for his daughter, must have a huge strength support, but he did not expect that this father-in-law, who had never met before, had such a powerful family. Yoshio Omiya is a well-known Japanese entrepreneur who has opened three factories, more than 3,000 employees, and hundreds of millions of assets. After Liu Yunda met with his father-in-law, he talked freely for a long time and lived in Japan for a while.
In 1989, Liu Yunda returned to Baisha Town, Sichuan Province, but at this time he did not have to do physical work. Yoshio Omiya is old and has given all his assets to his daughter, and now Liu Yunda mainly manages businesses in Japan, and now he wants to come back to reminisce with old friends. The twist of fate is really unexpected, if Liu Yunda was not so kind and did not take care of Shizuko Omiya, then the end of the story does not know where it will go.
