How much do the Japanese who stay in China know?

According to the figures released by the Japanese government after the war, there were 6.29 million soldiers and expatriates overseas when Japan was defeated. Most of these people later returned to China. But how many Japanese stayed in China and didn't go back? There are different accounts for all kinds of information, and there are great differences. Some people say that there are 20,000 to 30,000 people, while others say that there are 23 million people. Due to the age, it is impossible to make accurate statistics. This article wants to make an analysis of this for your reference.

Personally, I think 20,000 to 30,000 people are too few and 23 million people are too many. /kloc-It is more realistic for about 0/100,000 Japanese to stay in China. The reason for this is the following：

If there are 6.29 million Japanese overseas, it should refer to the living, excluding those who died in the war. Southeast Asia is originally a colony of the United States, Britain, France and the Netherlands, and it is impossible to have a large number of Japanese expatriates. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, although the Japanese army quickly occupied the vast Nanyang region, the war situation was quickly reversed: only half a year later, the US military launched a counterattack, and the Japanese army retreated one after another, and there was no time for a large number of immigrants. Therefore, in the Pacific War, except for1200,000 Japanese soldiers who were killed by the allied forces with the US as the main force, when Japan surrendered, there would be no more than/kloc-0,000,000 soldiers and civilians left in Nanyang. The China army led by Okamura Ningji and the Japanese overseas Chinese south of Shanhaiguan will not exceed two million; The remaining 3.3 million people are in the northeast. Excluding 700,000 "Kwantung Army", the total number of overseas Chinese in Japan in Northeast China is about 2.6 million. Huludao repatriated, and the number of Japanese overseas Chinese returning to China was1050,000. So, where did1500,000 people go? Some people say that after the "August 15", more than 200,000 "senior" Japanese returned to China in chaos. I don't think it's possible. Because before the repatriation of Huludao, there were not so many boats for more than 200 thousand people to return to Japan. At that time, Japan was still under the blockade of the US military. It is possible to say hundreds to thousands, and at most120,000 people return to China during the gap. It would be unthinkable if more than 200,000 people fled to Japan collectively. So 1 500,000 overseas Chinese in China were "torn to pieces" and integrated into society in various ways: (1) A large number of young women married people from China and entered families in China. According to incomplete statistics at that time, in just two months after the recovery, the number of Japanese women married to China people exceeded 1 1 10,000. They hardly talked about any terms, as long as they are similar in age and honest. Although the Kuomintang government forbids Japanese women married to China to stay in China and repatriate them, it is actually impossible. Japan was very difficult at that time, because the war destroyed Japan's economy, and the people had no food and no house to live in. Therefore, these Japanese women are unwilling to return to China, and their husbands in China will certainly not drive them away. How can the Kuomintang government have so much manpower to investigate and drag from house to house? Anyone who has seen The Little Aunt and the Crane knows that James Zhang has a wife, but she found a Japanese girl to give birth to her own children. The novel Lin Yuan also said that local tyrant Zhao Dafa married two Japanese women. There were many such things in the northeast at that time, and according to the regulations of the Kuomintang government, none of them were allowed. But in fact, I can't find it at all! Japanese women prefer this to going back to China-going back to Japan is almost equivalent to starving or sleeping on the street for them. (2) Many skilled Japanese, such as engineers, technicians and skilled workers, were worried that they would not be able to find jobs when they returned to Japan. They also asked China to stay and were unwilling to return to China. And China also needs it to hit it off. So it is more realistic to say that there are more than one million Japanese staying in the Northeast.

There are not as many Japanese overseas Chinese in Shanhaiguan as in Northeast China, but they are afraid that they will have no food or room to live after returning home, and they are trying their best to stay in China. There are also many Japanese women who suddenly married China people in major cities. The novel "Bloody Guinness" is about a Japanese officer who just died, and his wife and a China coachman left. Moreover, the policy of Japanese overseas Chinese staying in China is much looser than that in Northeast China: the North Parallel Axis once ordered that Japanese women married to China people can apply for China nationality and not be repatriated. As a result, many Japanese women who married China before and after the Eighth Five-Year Plan applied for China citizenship. It can be inferred that there will never be fewer Japanese staying in the pass. The most conservative figure is 1 million people, both inside and outside the customs! In the early days of liberation, the government strongly encouraged childbearing, and it was common for a woman to have three or four children. In the past few years, Japanese women married to China men have at least three million children. But these Japanese settled in China, had families and children, and gradually became like China. They speak Chinese and wear fine clothes. They not only become citizens of China, but also change their names to China. Foreigners refuse to admit that they are Japanese in order to avoid discrimination. In other words, they have become a part of China people, not Japanese. (The multi-crane in the bamboo in "Aunt Duo Crane" was renamed Zhu Erhuan. Having lived in China for decades, she was not used to speaking Japanese when Japanese officials talked to her. )

Huludao repatriation sent/kloc-0.05 million Japanese overseas Chinese back to Japan, which seems to be a large number, but in fact it is less than half of the overseas Chinese in Northeast China. These Japanese returned to China because their property was confiscated, their jobs were dismissed, and they could not find a new job and could not marry in China. For the same reason, 600,000 to 700,000 Japanese returned to China in the same way. Moreover, they gathered at the repatriation place voluntarily and boarded the ship. They have never been dragged aboard by the China government-the China government is not that powerful. At that time, there was a civil war in China, and neither side could spend much energy to investigate the Japanese. By the time People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded, millions of overseas Chinese in China had already integrated into the society, so it was even more difficult to find out, and there was no need at all. Later, with the rapid development of Japan's economy, the Japanese government allowed overseas Japanese with immediate family members in Japan to return to China, and some Japanese returned to Japan one after another, but the number would not be large, not exceeding 50,000. The vast majority of Japanese overseas Chinese who stayed in China have long been accustomed to life in China, and they have been thoroughly China-oriented. As for their children, they are born and raised in China, just like other China people (please see the three children born to Takeuchi Duohe in the TV series "Little Aunt Duohe", namely Zhang Chunmei, Zhang Gang and Zhang Tie. What's the difference between them and ordinary China children? It is meaningless to tell how much Japanese blood there is in them.

Another thing to say is that there is no doubt that there is a lack of information because of the war, especially the air strikes by the US military, which destroyed nearly 100 large and medium-sized cities in Japan.
