The Japanese wounded soldiers fell to China, and the old peasants in Henan took care of them for 47 years, and after returning to China, they repaid their benefactors in this way

During the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army brought endless bitter hatred to the Chinese people, and countless Chinese soldiers and civilians died under the butcher's knife of the Japanese army. If a person is unfortunate enough to be caught by the Japanese army, there is undoubtedly endless labor and even torture that awaits him. Logically, Chinese and the Japanese army should have a bloody feud. However, after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, a simple Henan peasant did not tire of hard work and took care of a Japanese for 47 years! The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945 ended with Japan's unconditional surrender, and the Japanese invaders also returned to their hometowns one after another.

In 936 Ishida enlisted in the army and was sent to Chinese mainland, and the following year as a spy in the Fengqiu area of Henan, where he fled the army after the surrender of Japan and wandered in Henan. At a time when people hated it to the bone and abandoned it, there was such a farmer who made a surprising move - to take him home. He was Sun Bangjun, and such a move caused great dissatisfaction and discussion among the villagers, and at that time, some villagers repeatedly proposed to kill this Japanese soldier to relieve the hatred in their hearts. The kind Sun family always said: "He is still a child, but also a human life", and the family insisted on leaving this Japanese soldier Ishida in the face of everyone's criticism.

Later, gradually, the villagers slowly identified with the "old day" and humorously gave him the name "Komonoro", and the government also made an exception to register him. Shortly after being taken home, the Wounded Japanese Soldier was suddenly paralyzed and unable to take care of himself. Sun Bangjun and his wife went around raising money for medical treatment, serving day and night. After more than 8 months of meticulous care, the "old day" miraculously recovered, while the Sun family owed hundreds of yuan in debt. For farmers at the time, the debt was nearly astronomical. Sun Bangjun's son Sun Baojie was admitted to the Nanzhao Teachers College with excellent results, but was rejected by the political examiners on the grounds that "there are Japanese kos, politics is unreliable, and cannot be a teacher", and Sun Baojie's dream of studying was shattered.

No one expected that this Japanese soldier would live for 47 years. In 1962, when Sun Bangjun was dying, he found his children and told him: "Komonoro does not understand things, we must take good care of him, find japanese relatives for him, and let him return to China." After Sun Bangjun's death, the heavy responsibility of taking care of this Japanese soldier fell on his son Sun Baojie. The Sun family's ten years of perseverance have finally borne fruit. In 1992, Yasumichi Tsuda, a Japanese, saw this search notice and recognized the Japanese soldiers in the photo. The Ishida family thanked the Sun family for everything they had done, and took out 5 million yen to repay sun Baojie for everything he did, and surprisingly, Sun Baojie did not accept it, he said: "We do not want money, only hope that there will be no more war between China and Japan." ”
