Agricultural immigrants from Manchuria, Japan

Yohachi Nakajima is a Japanese orphan adopted by China's adoptive mother. Although they are not related by blood, Yohachi Nakajima regards China's adoptive mother as his own mother.

When Yuji Nakajima was a child, he strongly rejected going back to his hometown in Japan.

But when I grew up, I hurried back to Japan for some reason, and my foster mother was heartbroken after learning the news.

Many years later, Yuhachi Nakajima returned to his adoptive mother's hometown again, only to know that her adoptive mother was very sad about his departure.

The Pacific War broke out in 194 1, and Yuji Nakajima was born in 1942. At that time, the Japanese Kwantung Army made a plan called "one million Manchu agricultural immigrants".

From 1936 to 1945, about 200,000 Japanese agricultural poor people entered the northeast of China in batches of 14. Among them, Koya Nakajima's father came with the dream of starting a business and making a fortune, and followed the tenth batch of dispatching teams into China.

1943, nakajima's father set out on the ship "baishan maru" with a large family. He went to Ning 'an County in Northeast China several times and settled here.

However, Nakajima's father did not expect that the wealth gained by invading other countries would not take long.

During the period of 1945, with the increasingly tense war situation, Japan was seriously short of soldiers. In July this year, Japan began to recruit soldiers. After Nakajima's father joined the army, there was no news again.

Nakajima was only three years old at that time. He also has an 8-year-old sister named Nakajima Sanzi. His mother is still six months pregnant. The family has a hard life and is walking on thin ice in a foreign country.

A month later, the Soviet army joined the battle, and the defeat of the Japanese army was set. /kloc-In August of 0/5, the Japanese surrendered, and the news of defeat reached the ears of these pioneering groups, and some old people and women immediately fell into panic.

Because of this war, most of these Japanese women and old people lost their sons and husbands. After they couldn't make a living, many people followed the instructions of the Japanese authorities and decided to make their own decisions.

However, the Nakajima family is lucky. The head of his pioneering group didn't want to die, and he fled with more than 500 people in the group. They hid in the mountains until the Soviet Union allowed these people to return to their headquarters to spend the cold winter.

That winter, I left a shadow in my heart. Cold, disease and hunger put everyone in a panic. Three-year-old Nakajima is skinny, and indigestion causes her stomach to swell.

Due to lack of nutrition, the mother died shortly after the birth of the child, and she herself was dying. The mother knows that instead of starving with her two children, it is better to send them away so that they can at least live.

As a result, the young Yasuhiro Nakajima was given to a vendor by his mother. The stall owner is Lao Wang, who often carries the burden to develop a group to sell some odds and ends, and has a good relationship with the Nakajima family.

Lao Wang is willing to help the Nakajima family after knowing their situation. In this way, the young Tomhachi Nakajima was carried around by Lao Wang with a burden, and finally settled in Shalan Town.

Lao Wang couldn't support a living child, so he thought of giving Ueba Nakajima to a family without boys to inherit the incense. At first, he found that a family named Li had no son, so he went straight over.

Who knows that because Nakajima was too weak and skinny at that time, the family refused to take him in. Just as Lao Wang looked at the child in a dilemma, suddenly a middle-aged woman came.

The woman said, "What a poor life! It's hard to be born, or even to live. What kind of world is this? If you don't want it, I will pull it! "

After that, Yasuhiro Nakajima went home with the women, but his life after adoption was also very difficult.

At that time, the biggest problem that Yasuhiro Nakajima encountered was the identity of Japanese orphans. The so-called Japanese orphans refer to Japanese orphans who stayed in China and were raised by China people after Japan surrendered, withdrew and repatriated prisoners of war.

Compared with other Japanese orphans, Yasuhiro Nakajima is much luckier. At least he knows his parents' names and has a memory of his hometown. Most of the other orphans were adopted in infancy, and even his own life experience was not clear.

Yutaka Nakajima VIII lived in China for 13 years and had several opportunities to return to China, but for various reasons, he stayed in China until 16 years old.

Nakajima's foster mother is Sun, a warm and hearty northeast woman. Ten months after adopting You Xiang Nakajima, she almost lost the child.

The members of the pioneering group who survived at that time had the opportunity to return to their hometowns, and they were repatriated one after another. Before Nakajima's biological mother returned to Japan, she went to Bamboo Slips VIP because she couldn't bear to stay in China.

Although Yasuhiro Nakajima is not his own, Sun has raised him for ten months, and he already has feelings. In the face of Nakajima's mother's "negotiation", she naturally has no good face.

So, the biological mother was disappointed, but she didn't give up the idea of finding her son.

Going to the Sun family again, the biological mother became tough. She told Sun bluntly, "I must take this child away."

After Sun refused each other again, her biological mother suddenly became angry. She picked up You Xiang Nakajima and ran away, but because she was weak, she was caught by Sun before her biological mother ran out of the house.

Soon, the news that Sun's children were robbed spread in the village. The villagers United and gathered in front of Sun's house, and the biological mother's "grabbing the child" action also failed.

This sensational "baby-snatching" storm made too much noise and finally alarmed the local government.

Therefore, the government has made such a decision. Since both mothers refuse to let go, it is better to let the children make their own decisions.

Two mothers stood on one side, and Yasuhiro Nakajima stood in the middle. An official stood beside the child and comforted him carefully, asking, "Son, which mother's arms do you want to go to?" Go by yourself. "

At a young age, Yasuhiro Nakajima, without looking at his biological mother, ran straight in the direction of Sun and hugged the "mother" who had only lived with him for ten months.

The son doesn't want himself, which makes his biological mother sad, but he can only accept this result.

Before leaving, my biological mother, accompanied by her daughter Nakajima's third son, came to Sun's house again. Her biological mother untied the package she carried with her and gave Sun a blanket and a copper kettle.

She said sadly to Sun, "Please adopt this child."

At this moment, Sun finally understood a mother's heart. She returned the things and said with emotion, "It's so cold. You need it on the road. Stay. "

When the biological mother came to Sun's house, Nakajima Yohachi was taking a nap. Seeing her son asleep, the biological mother hid her face and cried, and then left the Sun family with her daughter.

Early the next morning, the biological mother and her daughter set foot on a ship back to Japan with the pioneering group. Knowing that she could not bear to part with her son, Sun came to see her off with a young Tomoko Nakajima on his back.

When boarding the boat, the biological mother gritted her teeth and said nothing, while the third son of Nakajima turned back and cried while shouting his brother's birth name.

Decades later, when Yukio Nakajima was asked why he chose an adoptive mother who only raised himself for ten months, Yukio Nakajima also replied: "After being adopted for ten months, my mother has long been a stranger, and I have always realized that my Chinese mother is meticulous."

Nakajima's remarks are not exaggerated. In his memory, his adoptive mother really raised him as her own son.

When he was first taken in, Yasuhiro Nakajima had a bad mouth and a bad appetite. Sun Qin Zhen chewed up the food and fed it to him.

Yasuhiro Nakajima also said: "She was so considerate of me, brought me up, raised me as her own child, and pulled me back from death."

1955, I graduated from No.8 primary school in Nakajima, and met the second chance to return to China in my life.

One day, he overheard the conversation between his adoptive father Sun He. The adoptive father whispered to Sun, "There is a letter from Japan."

At that time, the adoptive father was Sun's second husband, and her first husband had already passed away. The husband's surname is Li.

After Sun remarried with Yasuhiro Nakajima, it was also renamed as. Before that, his Chinese name was Chen Qinghe.

Although he has a big name, he loves his foster mother very much and always calls him Frye or "Foer".

Li Fu's Letter from Japan was written by Nakajima's biological mother a year ago and handed over to the Japanese Red Cross delegation who visited China for the first time after the war.

In the letter, nakajima's biological mother wrote:

After that, the letter was transferred to the district government, and the local government began to investigate the situation of Nakajima Youba, and finally found Li Fu.

The next morning, Sun took Yasuhiro Nakajima to the district government and told her in detail the whole process of adopting Yasuhiro Nakajima.

During this period, Yasuhiro Nakajima knew that he was going back to Japan, but his legs and stomach were trembling with fear. When the staff saw him like this, they patiently comforted him and said that if he was willing to return to China, the China government would send him back safely.

But Yasuhiro Nakajima refused. He clearly told the staff, "I will never go back to Japan again. If I get on the train, I will jump off and run back. China is my home. "

Sun was deeply moved by his adopted son's words. She hugged Yasuhiro Nakajima and began to cry. Although there is no blood relationship, we have been together for so many years and are already like our mother and son.

The next day, my biological mother wrote a letter to Sun, in which she expressed great gratitude to Sun for raising her children. At this time, Nakajima also learned about her hometown of Japan for the first time in her letter.

Later, my biological mother sent a package to bamboo slips, which was full of jeans, coats and nylon stockings. Sun was considerate of my birth mother's yearning for her son, and asked Yasuhiro Nakajima to write back with a photo of Yasuhiro Nakajima.

Sun's generosity also deeply touched You Xiang Nakajima. When he was growing up, Sun Qin Zhen never hid his life story from him. After many Japanese orphans were adopted by China people, their stories were hidden.

But Sun is different. She has always regarded Yasuhiro Nakajima as proud, and she is also preaching his identity everywhere. But if she wants to send Yasuhiro Nakajima back to Japan, she won't.

There is also a reason why Yasuhiro Nakajima refused to return to Japan as a teenager. Although he is Japanese, he knows that Japan is an aggressor. As a Japanese citizen, he is also a victim like the people of China.

Many orphans left after the war will hate the war, including Yasuhiro Nakajima. During his growing up, many books and movies he read will show heroes like Zhao Yiman.

The greatness of these anti-Japanese heroes further highlighted the brutality and cruelty of the invaders, and also led to the fear of Japan at that time. He was extremely resistant to returning to Japan.

It was his teacher Liang Zhijie who changed Nakajima's August 8th. They met by their foster mother and grandson.

After graduating from Nakajima Youba Primary School, he was not admitted to junior high school because of his poor grades. Sun didn't want his son to work in the fields all his life, so he gritted his teeth and sent his son to his daughter's house.

What the foster mother said in those days, Tomoko Nakajima still can't forget.

Sun said, "A drop of sweat makes eight petals. The final harvest is good or bad. No one can guarantee it. Can a mother feel sorry for your little body? "

After that, Yasuhiro Nakajima followed Sun to his sister's home in China. My sister was married at that time, and her husband worked in the forestry bureau, and the conditions were not bad.

At that time, Nakajima Kang Hongcai 14 years old, but Sun had planned his future.

At that time, people in rural areas called the Forestry Bureau "Datoulin", to the effect that if you do well, you can eat well and get a salary.

It's just that Nakajima is not old enough, so Sun wants him to live in his daughter's house, go to a local school as a transfer student, and then find a way to go to work in the unit.

At this time, Sun also had his own plans. Because of Nakajima's adopted son, her relationship with her second husband is not good. The daughter divorced her grandson and husband when she saw that her mother was having a hard time.

Later, the daughter found a third husband for Sun. This man, surnamed Zhao, is a cook in the Forestry Bureau. He is good-natured, simple and honest, and good to Nakajima.

On the second day after the blind date, Sun made it clear to Tomhachi Nakajima: "Frye, mom has thought about it. For your future, let's move here and live with Uncle Zhao yesterday. "

Sun's plan is good. She first asked Zhao Huofu to apply for housing in the Forestry Bureau, so that the family of three could also have a place to live, and then she went back to her hometown to move her household registration, so that Nakajima could successfully become a transfer student in the local area.

After Sun returned to his hometown, Nakajima was entrusted to Zhao Fu by Yaba and renamed Zhao.

Sun did his best for this adopted son. Although Yasuhiro Nakajima was not born to Zhao's father, Zhao's father gave him all his love like Sun.

When Zhao Fu took in Tomhachi Nakajima, he planned to take him to his own place for the time being.

On the way, Zhao found that the railway had been washed away by the flood, so they had to walk there. On the way, when they passed a section of road, a 10-foot-long rail was hung halfway up the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain is a torrent, and the floods come one after another. It looks really scary. If you want to cross this section of the road, you must hold the rock wall and carefully cross between the rails. Once you fall into the water, the consequences are unimaginable.

At that time, Nakajima was only a teenager and had little courage. He was scared to cry by the sight in front of him, but Zhao Fu patiently comforted him: "Don't be afraid, son, I'll carry you."

After crossing the tracks, Zhao Fu tied Nakajima to his body. After confirming that the rope was firm, he slowly supported the rock wall and crossed the railroad track.

In Nakajima's memory, Li's father was strict and often quarreled with Sun for his existence, while Zhao's father was gentle, and his lack of fatherly love was experienced from Zhao's father.

He followed Zhao Fu to watch movies, travel and get along like a father and son. At that time, everyone's conditions were not good, but Zhao Fu gave him fifteen yuan a month for living expenses in order to make Nakajima Youba better.

This fifteen dollars was a lot of money at that time.

It's just that Zhao Fu is too busy to stay with him all the time. Teacher Liang of the school became a close friend of Nakajima Youba.

When Zhao's father was busy with his work, Yasuhiro Nakajima lived in Teacher Liang's dormitory. I also called Mr. Liang's brother privately, and Yasuhiro Nakajima would come back to Japan later because of Mr. Liang.

One day, Teacher Liang asked Yasuhiro Nakajima and said, "Your mother in Tokyo must miss you very much, right?"

However, Yasuhiro Nakajima shook his head and said, "I prefer to adopt my mother. If my mother doesn't come back, I don't know how many tears I have shed. "

Teacher Liang told him, "Your feelings are understandable. This is a sad fact. What a tragic history it is that Japan's war of aggression against China was separated. "

At that time, Yasuhiro Nakajima was shocked by these words. He has always been moved by the kindness and love of the Japanese people, but his Japanese birth mother is also missing him.

After that, Mr. Liang has been instilling some knowledge about Japan in him, hoping that Nakajima Yuji will return to Japan and make efforts for Sino-Japanese friendship.

Therefore, Yasuhiro Nakajima decided to return to Japan.

1958, 16 years old, with the preparation of Mr. Liang and the help of many parties, Yasuhiro Nakajima began to prepare to return to Japan. He planned to go to Harbin first to contact him about returning to China, but he couldn't afford the travel expenses, so Yasuhiro Nakajima made a difficult statement to Zhao Fu.

When he proposed to go back to Japan, Zhao Fu was not angry, but gave him 50 yuan as a travel expense. At that time, Teacher Liang's salary was less than fifty dollars a month.

It can be seen from this that Zhao's father really regards Yasuhiro Nakajima as his own son. Before Yasuhiro Nakajima left, Zhao did not look back, but turned his back on Yasuhiro Nakajima and said this sentence: "The world is big, so go out and have a good look."

However, Yasuhiro Nakajima did not expect that his departure would leave Zhao's father forever and become a pain in his heart forever.

Before returning to Japan, Nakajima visited his foster mother in Shalan Town from Bahui, and Sun also found his customs notice.

In this regard, Sun is a little excited. While crying, she hit Nakajima You Xiang: "You want to go back to Japan. Obviously, mom will give you money if she sells the cow. Although you were not born to me, I raised you for more than ten years. You have become a piece of meat on my body. "

In Nakajima's memory, this is the first time that the foster mother shed tears. She is a strong woman. She never cried when life was hard, but she shed tears because she was separated from herself.

Many years later, Yasuhiro Nakajima recalled this scene and said with emotion: "I went back to Japan because my foster mother was not around. Many years later, when I was a little older, I realized that my foster mother had made her life fragmented for me. "

It turns out that Sun and Zhao Fu are together for Tomoko Nakajima. She opened a city account for her son and let him stay in the Forestry Bureau for his future.

Sun has no urban hukou, so she can only stay in her hometown in the countryside. The separation of mother and son led to a complaint from Yasuhiro Nakajima. It was not until she was seventy years old that she understood Sun's practice and realized that she was doing good for herself.

The procedures for Nakajima's return to China will soon be completed. When he went to the public security bureau to go through the final formalities, he was told that the ship that was supposed to pick up overseas Chinese in Japan was about to leave, and this was the last ship.

Because of the rush of time, Yasuhiro Nakajima had no time to say goodbye to his adoptive parents and embarked on the road to return home. When Yasuhiro Nakajima returned to China, it was1July 9, 958. When he came to China with his family, he took the "Baishan Maru" ship, and it was the same ship when he returned home.

After returning to Japan, Nakajima was reunited with her biological mother. However, he had to start all over again. He must learn Japanese and adapt to the local food and climate.

All this made him miss China and China's adoptive parents, and Yasuhiro Nakajima regretted returning to Japan.

He began to inquire about the ships returning to China, but at that time, China and Japan had not resumed diplomatic relations.

Seeing that he could not return to China, Yasuhiro Nakajima remembered Teacher Liang's words. Yes, he will contribute to Sino-Japanese friendship.

After graduating from high school, Yasuhiro Nakajima joined the Japan-China Friendship Association and later worked as an interpreter.

1969, Zhao's father, who regarded Yasuhiro Nakajima as his own son, died in this year.

From 65438 to 0972, when China and Japan resumed diplomatic relations, Yohachi Nakajima started translation work, worked for a delegation visiting Japan, and received Deng and Liao Chengzhi, who praised him for his good Chinese.

After working in the China-Japan Association for a period of time, Tadao Nakajima had the opportunity to return to China, but for some reasons, he could not return to Shalan Town to visit his adoptive mother. Therefore, Tadao Nakajima made a special phone call back.

On the other end of the phone, Sun shouted the name of her adopted son, which was extremely sad. She shouted, "Frye, Frye."

His mother's hoarse and sad voice has been lingering in his ears for many years, and he can't forget it for a long time.

During his stay in Japan, Yasuhiro Nakajima kept in touch with Teacher Liang, including his childhood friends.

At the beginning of 1976, his friends in China brought him a bad news. His adopted mother, Sun, died, and the living expenses of 100 yuan he sent to his adopted mother also became funeral expenses.

Hearing the bad news, Yasuhiro Nakajima was very sad. He wants to go back to China to visit his adoptive mother's grave and visit Li Fu, who has been separated for a long time. Now, his "relatives" in China are only Li Fu.

He submitted an application to the relevant departments, and finally, under the arrangement of the government, he and his father met at the International Hotel in Ning 'an County.

At that time, Li's father was seriously ill. Lying on a stretcher, he was carried into the hotel to meet Ueba Nakajima.

The father and son only stayed together for a short day. Although it was only one day, Nakajima was extremely filial. He treated Li's father's urine and fed him fish bones.

Perhaps, Yasuhiro Nakajima is too kind to Lee's father. On the one hand, Li raised him, on the other hand, he felt guilty about his adoptive mother and Zhao's father. They raised him, but his adoptive parents died before he could be filial.

1978, Li's father passed away. Many years later, Yasuhiro Nakajima returned to China. He buried Li's father and grandson, and went to the graves of Zhao's father and grandson's ex-husband.

When I came back this time, Yasuhiro Nakajima also heard the grief of her foster mother after she left China in a hurry from her neighbors.

When Sun learned that his son had suddenly left, he cried and shouted, "Son, why did you leave your mother and go back?"

In 2007, Yohachi Nakajima returned to China again. He came back this time to move Zhao Fu's grave.

In his later years, Yasuhiro Nakajima often recalls the past and his ordinary and turbulent life.

Yutaka Nakajima VIII said: "I hope that the Chinese and Japanese people will get along well with each other, enhance understanding and prevent the nightmare of disaster from happening again."
