"I'm not Chinese, Japan is my home, I have Japanese blood in my body, I'm sorry, I won't go back to China!" said a Japanese orphan who had lived in China for forty years to his Chinese adoptive mother.
When she heard her son, who had raised her for more than 40 years, say this, Li Xiurong's heart collapsed, and she kept asking herself, why did she adopt a Japanese as a child back then?
It was the winter of 1945, and the winter of that year was extremely cold, and Li Xiurong was walking in the snow with one shallow foot, and suddenly found a shivering child squatting on the side of the street.
The kind-hearted Li Xiurong muttered in his heart, who threw the child outside on such a cold day, could it be lost?
She saw that the child was already frozen, so she hurriedly walked up to her and asked, "Why is the child still outside in the cold, where is your home?"
However, as soon as the child spoke, she was stunned, as a Northeasterner, she knew the Japanese accent best, this is a Japanese child!
As a citizen of the three eastern provinces, the atrocities of the Japanese are still vividly remembered, and many of her relatives have also been poisoned, so she plans to go home directly and leave the child to his fate.
However, when she turned around, she was still ruthless, and she was still entangled in bringing the child home.
After the husband returned home, he saw that his wife had brought back a Japanese child after buying vegetables, and he couldn't help but blame: "What do you blindly get from a Japanese child, when the Japanese were still alive a few years ago, were there fewer people who froze to death?"
But Li Xiurong looked at the child's frozen face and turned blue, she felt that the child was still young, and the things committed by the Japanese should not be borne by a child.
Under Li Xiurong's persuasion, the knife-mouthed tofu-hearted husband was also quite helpless, so he had to temporarily take care of the child at home, and he had feelings after coming and going.
But in the three huge eastern provinces, the common people have not been bullied by the Japanese, and the neighbors learned that the family had adopted a Japanese child, and they all rolled their eyes unceremoniously and said: "Haven't you had enough of the previous bullying, I think your family is healed and the scars forget the pain!"
And some neighbors whose relatives died in the hands of the Japanese are even thinking about secretly killing this Japanese child one day.
The family had no choice but to move elsewhere, and over time, they also treated the child as their own son, and let him follow her husband's surname and name him Zhao Liandong, perhaps hoping that he would grow up in China and atone for his biological parents in the future and contribute to China.
In this way, decades have passed, Zhao Liandong has grown up slowly under the support of his adoptive parents, married a wife and had children in China, and no one can tell that he is a Japanese.
Originally, Zhao Xiurong thought that the family would live like this, but she thought that her adopted son was too simple.
Although Zhao Liandong grew up in China, he never gave up looking for his biological parents in Japan, and even went to Japan for this purpose.
He said to his parents: "I just want to see who my real parents really are, and I am still your eternal son"
The adoptive parents had already regarded him as their own son at this time, and although they were lost, they still did not stop him.
After a few years, he really found that his Japanese parents were not small soldiers, but a Japanese officer with a high status, and his family background is now very good.
After learning of this, Zhao Liandong found the other party, and did not have the slightest problem with this Japanese whose hands were stained with Chinese blood, and cordially told the other party that he would soon recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.
After returning home, he took his wife and children with him to go to Japan to meet his Japanese father, and he said to his adoptive parents: "I just took the children to see him, and we will live a good life after we come back."
The adoptive parents did not suspect him and personally sent the family on the ship.
However, what Zhao Xiurong and his wife didn't expect was that their son never came back, and at first she lied to herself, thinking that her son wanted to stay a few more days, but after a few years, her son's family was unwilling to send a letter, and they never met again.
In the hearts of the old two for decades, they have long regarded Zhao Liandong as their own son, but the other party seems to have never regarded themselves as a Chinese, and all the grace of decades of nurturing has been left behind.
