What are the historical allusions of Sino-Japanese friendly exchanges?

Qin, Han, Tang and other ancient times are not much to say. Let's talk about modern.

Comrade Nie saved the daughter of a Japanese soldier who died in battle with a broad mind, touched the Japanese invaders and even the Japanese people, and revealed the true meaning of Sino-Japanese civil friendship on the other hand.

Looking back at the history of the last century, turning over the dusty past, there was a touching story of "the general saved the orphan" on the land of North China 65 years ago. 1In August, 940, the Eighth Route Army launched a massive "Hundred Regiments War" against the Japanese invaders in North China. In a fierce battle, two soldiers led by Nie rescued two Japanese girls from the bullets.

When General Nie was informed, he personally visited the house and instructed that the two little girls must be sent back to the Japanese garrison.

Time flies and times change dramatically. 1972, China and Japan resumed diplomatic relations and the two countries entered a new era. 1980 On May 29th, People's Daily published an article by an anti-Japanese veteran, "Little Japanese girl, where are you? The story was made public and caused a warm response. Japanese media were very moved by General Nie's memory of his little sister in Japan 40 years later, and soon found his sister Mihoko who lived in the capital city of Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. Subsequently, the China-Japan Friendship Association cordially invited the Mihoko family to visit China. Nie Shuai, who was over eighty years old, met the Mihoko family in Beijing on July 1988+04.

The wind and frost are inspiring, and 25 years have passed. Did the "little girl" have a good life? Is she still watching China? The reporter recently made a special trip to the metropolis for an interview.

The general evokes memories of his youth.

Metropolis is located at the southern tip of Kyushu Island. In June 5438+this year 10, it merged with four neighboring towns and became a city with a population of170,000. Mayor Chang Fengcheng, who was only 35 years old, enthusiastically told the wonderful story of General Nie's rescue of Japanese girls and the communication between metropolis and China. Accompanied by Mr. Nagano and Mr. Xinping, the reporter came to Mihoko's home.

Meihezi lives in Meibei Town, which is close to the road and has a single house. Outside is the small hardware store opened by her family. This is a typical Japanese family. In front of the house, there are several neatly trimmed pine trees and iron trees peculiar to the south, and the yard is covered with gravel. The simple and clean yard shows the diligence of the owner.

Mihoko and her husband Akio came out to meet us with smiles and took us into the living room. The room is full of poems, paintings and souvenirs from Japanese friends. The first thing that catches your eye is the photo of Nie Shuai when he met with the Mihoko family, and a letter to Mr. and Mrs. Mihoko about "contributing to Sino-Japanese friendship". Two landscape screens sent by Nie Shuai are decorated on the sliding door between the living rooms. "Little Japanese girl, where are you? The poems presented by Yao are also in the living room.

Mihoko's original surname was Kato, but she changed her surname to "Chang" after marriage. She is short and fair-skinned, and looks much younger than her age. Miyoko smiled and said, "I was born in China in July 1936, and now I am almost 69 years old." "Her husband Zhao Nan said at a side.

After the host and guest were seated, everyone naturally talked about the past. Mihoko said that after their sisters were rescued, they were sent to Shimen Hospital in Shijiazhuang. My sister, Miko, who was less than one year old, died of indigestion. 1940+00 After she was safely brought back to Japan by her uncle, she lived alone with her grandmother. Mihoko grew up in a poor family environment and suffered a lot. She said

She said that she met her husband, Zhao Nan, while working in the Agricultural Cooperative Association. At that time, Zhao Nan was very weak, but reliable. In 2006, at the age of 20, she got married. After the marriage, they ran a small hardware store together. Zhao Nan chimed in that Mihoko was simple and strong, and she was very depressed when she first got married. Because of Miho's care, she has been in poor health. She takes 1 1 medicine every day. Mihoko has three daughters, all of whom are married. She also has seven grandchildren. She has a family photo, which was taken when she visited Nie Shuai's exhibition.

Miyoko said, "When I was a child, I heard my grandmother say that my parents were involved in the war, and my memory is not very clear. So, until 1980, she didn't want to think much about her life, and she gradually forgot it. It was the reports of China and Japan and the after-the-fact investigation that aroused her childhood memories. " Mei Hezi said in a letter to Nie Shuai in June 1980, "According to her uncle,

Back to the old place.

Mihoko recalled that it was Mr Yao's report that changed her life. Yao, deputy director of the People's Liberation Army Daily, wrote an article "Little Japanese girl, where are you?" After it was published, it attracted the attention of the press in both countries.

Mihoko's whereabouts were first discovered in the Japanese Yomiuri Shimbun. Through a series of investigations, the reporter found the Kato Kiyoshi family whose plot was similar to that reported by China, but still could not confirm that Mihoko was the "little girl". The reporter took a photo of General Nie and his little daughter sent by China News Service, and found Mihoko who changed his surname. Mihoko thought that the little girl in the photo might be himself, and his uncle who went to China to claim Mihoko felt "very similar". He also said that he had heard Mihoko tell the story of "eating pears and high-grain rice and being put in one basket". These stories are completely consistent with the plots provided by the Chinese side, confirming that Mihoko was the "Japanese girl" of that year.

After the beautiful talk about the general's rescue of orphans spread, Mihoko received hundreds of letters and was interviewed by reporters continuously, becoming a hot news figure. Then the prince of the Japanese Embassy sent an invitation letter from the Japan-China Friendship Association, inviting the Mihoko family to visit China. With excitement and anxiety, the Miyoko family boarded the flight to China on July 1980, which happened to be her 44th birthday.

Mihoko never imagined that she was "welcomed by the head of state" at the Beijing airport. Nie Shuai's daughter Nie Li said to her, "Nice to meet you. My father has been waiting for your visit. Send blooming roses and calamus to my home. " Miho had mixed feelings and burst into tears. She didn't expect that a beautiful birthday cake had been laid out for her in Beijing Hotel. ...

During their two weeks in China, the Mihoko family visited Beijing, Shijiazhuang, Hangzhou, Shanghai and other places, visited Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, the Revolutionary Military Museum and Jingxing Coal Mine, and were warmly received. Meeting Nie Shuai was the most unforgettable thing in her life. 14 July, in Xinjiang Hall of the Great Hall of the People, Nie Shuai and Mei Hezi reunited after 40 years. Mihoko seems to have been gone for years. And thank him for saving his life. Nie Shuai said that he is not alone. "We do this because the Japanese People's Liberation Army has a glorious humanitarian tradition ... China and China are close neighbors separated only by water, and there is no reason not to be friendly." Miyoko said in her notes that during her trip to China, she cried many times along the way, and the long-standing estrangement in her heart was swept away.

Nie Shuai once recalled, "When I saw the children sent, I immediately called the nursing staff to take care of them and ordered his men to find women from the village to feed the younger children. I gave the older child a pear to eat, but she didn't eat it. When I washed it with clear water and handed it to her, I ate it with relish. Older children always pull my pants with their little hands. Wherever I go, I will follow. I want to raise them myself. " When Nie Shuai sent the orphan girl, he asked the escort to bring a letter to the Japanese officers and men. The letter said that the Chinese and Japanese people have no enmity, and orphans like Mihoko are innocent, so the Japanese people will not be enemies of the Japanese people.

After that meeting, Mihoko thought Nie was more amiable than the photo. General Nie is his father, and she wants to call him "father". 1982 In May, Mihoko learned that Nie Shuai was ill and went to Beijing to visit him. He called him "father" and expressed Mihoko's feelings for General Nie.

The journey of rebirth is to thank the benefactor.

There is a photo frame embedded with a newspaper in the closet of Mihoko's living room. It is an article in the first issue of Miyazaki Hayao's Nikkei News that reported Nie Li's visit to the metropolis, with a photo of Nie Li and Mei Mizi on it. The topic is "Orphans in the Sino-Japanese War, rescued by General China, goodbye to the rescuer's daughter, please go home and talk about it and continue to be friendly". Mihoko specially asked someone to make it into a gold foil version for easy collection.

From 65438 to 0998, Nie Li visited Japan as the head of the delegation of China Women's Federation. During his visit to the metropolis, he conveyed Nie Shuai's wish that his hometown Jiangjin and Mihoko's hometown metropolis become sister cities, and this proposal received a positive response from Japan. The following year, the mayor of this city led a delegation to attend the unveiling ceremony of Nie Shuai Exhibition Hall established in Jiangjin to commemorate Nie Shuai's centenary birthday, and signed a friendly exchange agreement.

Jiangjin City and Metropolis became attached to Meisui because of Nie Shuai. To commemorate the friendly agreement between the two cities, the film The Story of Chen Bao, co-produced by China and Japan, was shown in the metropolis. Many Japanese viewers said they would "apologize to China" and demanded that it be shown again for the sake of children. In July, 20001,an exhibition of Nie Shuai and Jiangjin City was held in the metropolis. The audience left a message saying, "I am fortunate to know this touching story, and tears will come to my eyes when I look at it. As a Japanese national, I think we should tell the next generation the kindness of the Japanese people. Others said, "I am full of gratitude to Nie Shuai and the Japanese people and look forward to the long-lasting friendship between China and Japan. "In 2002, the capital and Jiangjin jointly held a symposium on Nie Shuai's humanitarian spirit and friendly exchanges between the capital and Jiangjin, calling for carrying forward Nie Shuai's humanitarian spirit in order to create a peaceful 2 1 century.

Mr. Xinping, who came to live in the United States, is a practitioner of Japan-China friendship and an "authority" to study Japanese stories. In the Friendship Movement with Humanism as the Origin, he said, "It is the best embodiment of humanitarianism to rescue the children of enemies who hate their guts in a cruel war and take care of them like their own children." .

Miyoko, who survived the robbery, exchanged thanks with China. Because of her active participation in Japan-China friendship activities, she was commended by the national headquarters of the Japan-China Friendship Association and was elected as the director of the Capital Friendship Association. In August 2002, 62 years after her rescue, Mei Hezi returned to the place of rebirth and went to jingxing mining area, Jingxing County and Pingshan County for a "thank you trip" to thank her benefactors one by one.

During this visit, she visited the memorial hall of mass graves in jingxing mining area to pay homage to the miners killed in China. He went to Zhong Guyue Village to write a strange book to the Eighth Route Army soldiers who had taken care of himself, and also went to pingshan county to feed his sister, Mr. Chen, and to burn incense and worship at the grave of the old man who first sent the sisters to the Japanese garrison with Nie Shuai's letter. When she learned that people had found a soldier, Yang Zhongshan, who was only 17 years old, and rescued her directly from the war, she excitedly wrote to thank him immediately and said that the next visit to China must be scheduled.

Wherever Mihoko went, he was received sincerely. There are only 500 people in Honghecao Village, Jingxing County. As a result, thousands of people came to welcome Meibei Primary School in Meihezi to form a sister primary school with the primary school in Honghecao Village. The Capital Friendship Association used the money raised to buy computers and desks for the primary schools in Honghecao Village, and also established a "aid system to commemorate Mihoko's salvation" in Xinzhuang Middle School. Provide 10 every year.

The Mihoko family is practicing Japan-China friendship. Naoko, the eldest daughter, said that she was inspired by General Nie's humanitarian spirit and wanted to do something for the society. She said that what moved her most was the scene of seeing General Nie in the Great Hall of the People. In June, 2003, she visited China again on behalf of her mother, and attended the inauguration ceremony of the statue of General Nie and Meikongkong in Honghecao Village and the inauguration ceremony of the jingxing mining area Meikongkong Rescue Monument.
