The real material of distant agreements

1On March 25th, 997, a touching news came from Tottori Prefecture, Japan: Saburo Mitsui, a Japanese who had been away from home for 5 1 year, finally returned to his hometown and met his wife who had guarded him for half a century.

More than 50 years ago, Misaburo Mitani, who worked in an arsenal in Pyongyang, was waiting to be repatriated when Japan was defeated. But one day, when he was walking on the road, he was suddenly slapped on the back and said that he was a Japanese spy, so he was taken to a labor camp in Siberia.

Seven years later, he was released, but he was still not allowed to return to Japan. He had to rely on the hairdressing skills he learned in prison to make a living.

In that age of informers, he tried not to speak Japanese in order not to let others know that he was Japanese. After staying there for a long time, his Russian became more and more fluent and his life became more and more natural. After obtaining Russian citizenship, he still didn't leave.

It was not until the spring of 1996 that a Japanese teacher who went to teach in Russia heard about such an old Japanese man and finally arranged for Misaburo Migu to return to China.

According to the Japanese foreign news report, on the platform of the station in Tottori Prefecture, the old man hugged his wife who had been away for 5 1 year, and there were endless words. It is hard to imagine how many days and nights these two old people need to finish the story of the second half century.

It's a pity that Misaburo Migu can't stay in his hometown for a long time. He must return to Russia as soon as possible, because his later wife is waiting there. Russia became his second hometown.

The story of Mrs. Mitsui Saburo reminds me of another touching story reported by the Associated Press.

It was also World War II and Japanese.

Mori Yoshiro, a Japanese woman over 500 years old, attended the commendation meeting of the International Medical Cooperation Conference of Mount Sinai Hospital in new york, and presented awards to the meritorious personnel of Hiroshima Girls Project.

1945 On August 6th, three-year-old Sam was playing outside when a big fire broke out. The exploded atomic bomb burned all her bare skin. Her face was distorted and her hands could not be opened. For ten years, she hid at home, afraid that others would see her terrible appearance.

Until 1955, the United States implemented the "Hiroshima Girls Plan" and brought 25 Japanese girls who were victims of the atomic bomb to the United States for treatment, which rekindled the hope of life.

At the commendation meeting in May, 1996, Sen was interviewed by reporters. She said, "I have no hate in my heart, only love, because Americans have opened my heart, my thoughts and feelings, taken care of me and let me grow."

After the meeting, Sen didn't go back to Japan because she has become an American citizen and now lives in Los Angeles. Not only is she married, but she also has a child who is a lawyer.

I saw an article in the newspaper "Catch Soldiers". The author says that in China, when there are not enough soldiers, they go everywhere to catch them. "Those who didn't escape stayed in a unit for a long time, became veterans or were promoted to monitor, and then arrested new recruits." The author recalls that he was arrested, became a soldier and went out to arrest others.

One day, in a small town in Putian, Fujian, the author was ordered to go out to catch new recruits. Seeing a young farmer in the field, another colleague and I surrounded him and caught him in the river after some chasing.

Back to the camp, the company commander severely beat the man with a pole and kicked him in the chest with his foot, which made the author very unwilling. But the next day, when the troops set out, the young farmer obediently followed everyone. Until half a month later, one day when marching on the cliff path, the man got into the jungle and escaped.

Later, the author became a doctor. One day, an old patient came, looked at his name and face, and recognized that he was the farmer who was arrested that year. It is said that he was captured by another army after he escaped.

The author asked him if he hated it.

"Hate what?" The man smiled. He got married, had children and opened a grocery store. So they became good friends.

Watch 1985 The Official Story, which won the Oscar for best foreign language film in Argentina.

The story is true, describing the tragedy when the right-wing military government launched an "ugly war" against leftists suspected of subversion in the 1970s.

Nine thousand Argentines and Uruguayans are missing, adults are missing and children are missing. It turns out that the Argentine police run a baby trafficking network to prevent leftists from killing people in prison and then give their babies to childless soldiers and police for adoption.

In the movie, a group of parents and grandparents who lost their children and grandchildren demonstrated in the street with placards that read "Give me back my children". A middle school teacher who adopted her daughter saw it and suspected that the child was brought illegally by her husband, so she went to the hospital to inquire.

The teacher didn't find out about his daughter, but she met an old woman who asked about it together. Every few days, I find the old woman actually watching beside her daughter's school.

The old lady from the countryside finally took the initiative to find a teacher and took out photos of her daughter, son-in-law and daughter when they were young.

The teacher was shocked and found that the adopted daughter looked exactly like the girl in that photo. She went back to her husband like crazy and asked, "Did you steal our daughter?"

The truth came out that her husband killed the young couple and stole their favorite. The problem is. That lovely little girl has become their favorite again, and it is difficult to separate.

It's all tragedies of war, and it's all years playing tricks on people.

For thousands of years. How many vagrants have arrived in foreign countries. Become a stranger, become a local, then take in the homeless in your hometown and treat the latecomers as "strangers".

Then, "strangers" became "locals" again. Drink the water there, eat the food there, and then bury it under the land there.

Maybe the inscription was written in the words of his ancestors, or maybe it was juxtaposed in two languages, just as they thought and talked in two languages when they were alive.

I always think of Mi Sabouraud Bee Valley living in Russia. The local accent has not changed, but my hometown is my hometown, and it is no longer my hometown. Local accent is "mother tongue", but it is not "children's language". His children and grandchildren no longer understand Japanese.

At present, there is always a photo of Saburo leaving Sangu on the platform. 5 1 year, I remembered him and guarded him. He's wife is affectionate, an old married couple. But how can the short marriage of that year be compared with the decades of another foreign marriage?

Being forced, captured, reformed through labor, living under surveillance, and being under house arrest have all become the past. Like a struggling wild horse, after being tamed, he got used to the new owner and saddle, and no longer missed "Yuan Ye in those days".

War has become history, and history has no mistakes. It just happened and never looked back.
