In 1943, at the age of 17, Shizuko Omiya was forcibly recruited as a nurse in the army.
The battlefield was fraught with danger, and she passed death several times.
Fortunately, not only did she not die, but she also accidentally became a nurse in the Chinese army.
In the Chinese army, Omiya Shizuko met the love of her life.
After the war, she chose to live in Anonymity and her husband in China.
I thought I would end up in China like this, but things took a turn for the worse.
Decades later, Shizuko Omiya's father finally found her after many hardships and was anxious to let her return to Japan to inherit tens of billions of assets.
Why would a Japanese woman become a nurse in China's military? Will she return to Japan to inherit tens of billions of dollars?
Destined love
In 1926, Shizuko Omiya was born into a merchant family in Kanazawa, Japan, with an older brother. As the youngest member of the family, she was held in the palm of her hand by her family from birth.
The relatively affluent family environment has created her innocent and kind character, and when she grew up, she was not only not brainwashed by Japanese militarism, but disgusted with the harm caused by the war.
In 1943, at the age of 17, Omiya Shizuko officially entered Hiroshima Girls' School to major in medical care, hoping to become a life-saving doctor.
However, before the first school year was over, she was forcibly recruited by the Japanese army as a nurse accompanying the army.
How could the kind Shizuko Omiya accept herself as an accomplice in the war? She cried out to her parents: "I don't want to go, help me, help me." ”
Parents are certainly reluctant to let their daughters go to dangerous battlefields, and if they can, they will keep them at all costs. But in the face of war, they as civilians are powerless.
Japan's small territory, limited population and productivity, the government wants to continue to carry out aggressive wars, only to force young people to enlist. Even if Shizuko Omiya is a minor, the tight army will never let it go.
In 1944, Shizuko Omiya was sent to the Burmese battlefield. Here, she had to take care of the wounded almost around the clock. Because under the attack of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Japanese army at that time was already a grasshopper in the autumn, and it could not move immediately.
Omiya Shizuko's unit was stationed in Raingong in northern Burma, an ordinary town with only one company of troops, led by the Japanese army Daisaku "Tian Guang Horiki".
But they faced the new army of the "ace main force" in the Chinese expeditionary force, which made them almost unable to fight back.
Against this background, in late March 1945, the 201st Regiment of the 50th Division of the New First Army took advantage of the victory and pursued and captured Layingong in one fell swoop.
The Japanese general Tian Guangbokawa hid in the back mountain with the remnants of his men, unwilling to die under the guns of the Chinese soldiers, and wanted to end his life in a cave.
Omiya Shizuko was still so young that she could not understand the extremes of the Japanese army, and she did not kill medical personnel by default on the battlefield, and she did not have to die at all.
Realizing the crazy thoughts of the Japanese, she hurried out of the cave, and then heard a loud noise from behind her, which was the sound of grenades exploding.
Although she did not look back at the tragic scene in the cave, she still had in her mind the picture of the broken arms of the corpse overlapping together, and her face was miserable, and she vomited out with a "wow" sound.
Startled, she forgot to hide her whereabouts and was soon spotted by burmese guerrillas.
The guerrillas hated the Japanese devil the most, and when they saw Shizuko Omiya wearing the nurse's uniform of the Japanese army, they tied her up regardless of 3721.
They didn't care about the rules of not killing the medical staff, and prepared to torture Shizuko Omiya to death, but fortunately a Chinese soldier passing by saved her.
The soldier, Liu Yunda, was a company commander in the 201st Regiment of the Fifty Division of the New First Army of the Expeditionary Force.
Liu Yunda was a polite man who could have continued to study in China and might have become a teacher in the future. But for the sake of the country, he chose to become a member of the Chinese Youth Expeditionary Force.
He was heroic on the battlefield, but privately he was a warm-hearted and talkative man, and his soldiers called him "Liu Bodhisattva".
Such a Liu Yunda saw a young medical worker being tortured and scarred, how could he not be merciful?
He rescued Shizuko Omiya, personally untied her, and trimmed her wounds himself.
Liu Yunda did it himself because it was difficult for him to guarantee that others would not hurt her because she was Japanese, and could only hide her first.
Omiya Shizuko was frightened and did not dare to let Liu Yunda get closer.
He was not in a hurry either, putting the medicine and gauze next to her and saying, "Then come on your own, I won't touch you, don't be afraid." ”
After saying these words, he suddenly smirked: "I almost forgot, you should not Chinese, you can't understand what I say." ”
He touched his head and thought for a moment, then expressed what he wanted to say through exaggerated movements.
Maybe at that time, Omiya Shizuko did not fully understand what Liu Yunda was doing, but seeing that thick smile and funny movements, she understood that the other party had no malice and slowly relaxed.
After a few days, Omiya Shizuko's injuries began to heal, but Liu Yunda began to worry.
When he first saved this Japanese female nurse, it was not entirely because of compassion, but because my army lacked medical personnel, he wanted to take the opportunity to let the other party stay and help take care of the wounded.
At first, he wasn't sure if Shizuko Omiya would be willing, so he took her in himself and didn't tell his superiors what he was saying.
Now that the nurse's injuries were healed, he felt that it was not necessarily a good idea to let her stay.
Can Shizuko Omiya genuinely handle the wounds of Chinese soldiers? Even if she could, would the Chinese soldiers be cared for by the Japanese?
Tangled up and down, Liu Yunda still chose to ask the other party's thoughts first.
Liu Yunda stood in front of Shizuko Omiya's bed, still waving and greeting as usual, while saying, "Hello, I came to see you again." ”
The female nurse also nodded in response to him, and then Liu Yunda began to use both hands and feet, in this way to ask Shizuko Omiya about her future plans.
Whether you go or stay, you have to plan early.
To Liu Yunda's disappointment, the effect of his dancing only caused the nurse lady to laugh uncontrollably, as if she didn't understand at all.
Since this is the case, Liu Yunda can only make a decision on his own, saying to himself: "Then I will still send you away, you will not Chinese, it is very difficult to be a nurse here." I can't keep you for a long time, and it's not convenient for a lonely man or a widow. ”
Liu Yunda was about to walk out of the room, but Shizuko Omiya spoke, "I'll stay." ”
He asked in surprise, "Chinese you?" ”
Omiya Shizuko nodded, in fact, she would Chinese a little, but really only a little, she said not standard, has been embarrassed to open her mouth.
Liu Yunda shook his head after seeing her reaction and said, "But there will be many problems with your stay, and no one knows what it will become in the end." ”
Shizuko Omiya didn't fully understand, but she racked her brains and pulled out the words she would: "I stay... Can be bandaged... I will. ”
In the end, Liu Yunda still let the female nurse stay, because the army did lack medical personnel, and he was willing to believe this young woman who did not look bad.
However, the situation was also the same as Liu Yunda thought, and most of the Chinese soldiers refused the help of the Japanese female nurse.
They did not shy away from saying, "I would rather die than accept help from the Japanese." ”
"Yes, you can't trust the Japanese."
"Even if she's a woman, a Japanese person is a Japanese."
These words deeply stung Shizuko Omiya, whose identity was so embarrassing that she was neither accepted by the Chinese army nor hated by the Japanese army.
But she was not discouraged, and whenever there were not enough medical staff, she would take the initiative to come forward to help, even if she would be scolded away immediately.
Sometimes, wounded people who didn't know she was Japanese would come to her for treatment of their wounds, and when their companions told them their identity, they would immediately change their attitude.
There are too many sins committed by Japanese devils, and even though Shizuko Omiya is only a nurse who was forced to go to war as a minor, she cannot be easily trusted.
Whenever this happened, Liu Yunda would quietly comfort Shizuko, but he also proposed that Shizuko teach others medical knowledge, and then he would send her away.
Shizuko Omiya always chose to persevere, and gradually, everyone stopped thinking of her as a Japanese nurse, but only as a nurse.
Because Shizuko Omiya was rescued by Liu Yunda, the two people usually and often contact each other, so people often joke and ridicule them.
Whenever this time came, Omiya Shizuko would look at Liu Yunda with a red face, and Liu Yunda would not say a word or move.
They all know each other, and they all have each other in their hearts.
However, at that time, China and Japan were still at war, and their nationality and identity were the biggest obstacle and the most unchangeable fact, so none of them broke through the window paper.
A couple who do not abandon each other
There were no eyes on the battlefield, and by chance, Liu Yunda was injured.
Omiya Shizuko took care of him day and night at his bedside, and when he woke up, she couldn't help but hug him.
After she reacted, she wanted to withdraw this abrupt hug, but Liu Yunda hugged her tightly.
After experiencing life and death, they can no longer hide their emotions. Maybe if you don't say it today, you won't have an opportunity in the future.
In order not to attract criticism, the two initially hoped that this relationship would be known to heaven and earth, and you would know what I knew.
Then the eyes of the masses were shining, and they soon discovered the matter and, without exception, blessed them.
Both himself and his comrades-in-arms were taken care of by Shizuko Omiya, and everyone had already let go of their prejudices against Shizuko Omiya.
Liu Yunda, who had received the blessing, and Shizuko Omiya were married, but they still did not dare to publicize it, but simply held a ceremony.
Not long after, the war ended, and Liu Yunda returned to his hometown of Baisha Town, Chongqing, with his wife.
In order not to let his wife attract too much attention, Liu Yunda gave Shizuko Omiya a Chinese name: Mo Yuanhui.
After returning to their hometown, Liu Yunda and his wife lived a relatively poor life, and inevitably encountered some troubles.
Omiya Shizuko's identity could not be hidden, many people rejected her very much, and some people once threw stones at her. But the husband and wife have long been accustomed to it, so they can face it calmly.
The situation on Liu Yunda's side is not easy, in order to make a living, he had to go to the quarry to sell his physical strength, earning all his hard-earned money.
This job is not only hard, but also full of hidden dangers.
Liu Yunda encountered a landslide at the quarry, and the falling stones just hit one of his legs.
Despite the meticulous care of Shizuko Omiya, his legs were left with sequelae and he could no longer walk normally as before.
After Liu Yunda was injured, the burden of the family fell on the shoulders of Shizuko Omiya, and she did not complain and worked hard for this family.
Although life is tight, the relationship between the husband and wife is still very good, and they have spent decades living together here, giving birth to three children in total, namely the eldest son Liu Chongfu, the second son Liu Chongyi, and the younger daughter Liu Chonghui.
Decades later, Shizuko Omiya has been completely Sinicized, her speech and demeanor are becoming more and more like Chinese, and she is willing to accompany her husband to stay in China forever.
However, the calm days will eventually be broken, and they who live in the town ignore the changes in the outside world and do not know that their fate is about to be rewritten.
On September 29, 1972, China and Japan formally established diplomatic relations. Since then, friendly exchanges between the chinese and Japanese peoples have gradually become frequent.
In August 1977, Yoshio Omiya, who was president of the China-Japan Friendship Association, personally led a delegation to visit China, and in addition to normal diplomacy, he also had the purpose of hoping that the Chinese government would help him find his daughter Shizuko Omiya.
Omiya Yoshio has traveled several times in private to Burma and China in search of his unaccounted for, but he has neither received information that Shizuko Omiya has died nor found her personally.
Now that Omiya Yoshio is dying of old age, he hopes to see his daughter again in his lifetime.
After receiving the order from the superior, the investigators immediately began to investigate, and finally found Liu Yunda's superior, Qiao Minggu, the commander of the 201st Regiment of the 50th Division of the New First Army.
At first, he said that he was looking for Shizuko Omiya, but Qiao Minggu was not impressed. But when they mentioned the Japanese female nurse, the old man immediately thought about it and said: "I did see a Japanese female nurse at that time, I don't know if she is the person you are looking for, only that she later married a company commander, his name is Liu Yunda." You need to confirm the address yourself, and he and I are no longer in touch. ”
In 1978, investigators found Liu Yunda's home. When they saw Mo Yuanhui, they couldn't recognize her as a Japanese, but fortunately her facial features and appearance matched the previous photos.
Investigators told Shizuko Omiya that her father had been looking for her for decades and hoped she would return to Japan to visit.
Although she was reluctant to live with her husband, she thought that her mother had died, her father was old and weak, and she had not fulfilled her filial piety for decades, so she agreed to return to Japan to see.
Before leaving, she assured her husband: "I will definitely come back." ”
Liu Yunda also believed in her, they had decades of conjugal feelings, and children, and his wife could not never return.
In May 1978, Shizuko Omiya returned to Japan after more than 30 years, and Yoshio Omiya personally greeted her at the pier.
Looking at her father's gray hair and wrinkled face full of smiles, she truly realized that her father was not what she used to be when she was 17 years old, he was old and sick, and needed to be cared for and accompanied.
In order to keep her father from enduring the pain of separation in his old age, Shizuko Omiya could only hold back her thoughts and communicate with her husband in the form of letters.
In 1980, the couple, who had been separated for two years, reunited. Liu Yunda traveled to Japan with his 27-year-old second son, Liu Chongyi, because Omiya Yoshio also wanted to meet his son-in-law and grandson.
Yoshio Omiya has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years and has become a billionaire from a small businessman. Therefore, he can provide the most comfortable living environment for his daughter's family, but Liu Yunda is still very homesick and misses the motherland.
In 1987, Omiya Yoshio died, and Omiya Shizuko inherited the ten billion inheritance left by her father, but it was not long before she handed over everything her father left to her son Liu Chongyi.
In the end, she chose to return to China with her husband Liu Yunda. Shizuko Omiya also has feelings for China, and she also knows that the place where her husband wants to go is Still China.
It was not easy for Omiya Shizuko and Liu Yunda to fall in love in the war years, not to mention that one was a Japanese female nurse and the other was a Chinese officer, but the two bravely crossed the chasm and stood together. Liu Yunda did not abandon Omiya Shizuko because her status would cause him trouble, and Omiya Shizuko did not ignore her husband because she became a billionaire. True love should be like them, not abandoning each other.
