In 1945, a woman who fled to Jinan with her daughter from Tangshan was introduced to a local "mountain doctor". She named her daughter "Shan Yongyun", and the family spent a happy time in a warm life.
However, she always felt that her husband was a little abnormal, and he always looked preoccupied. It wasn't until one day, 30 years later, that she and her daughter learned the true identity of her husband, who turned out to be a Japanese.
Hiroshi Yamazaki, a man born in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, whose older brother was unable to join the army due to family reasons. So, he resolutely put on a military uniform and came to China.
On this land, he served as a military doctor and witnessed first-hand the brutality of his compatriots against the Chinese. This deeply saddened him and decided to flee the war. After six months on the run, he finally came to Jinan.
The kind locals gave him food and water and made him feel the warmth of the world. He decided to stay here and start his new life. Hiroshi Yamazaki's story teaches us to hold on to our beliefs and pursue inner peace and tranquility even in the face of difficulties.
Hiroshi Yamazaki opened a clinic in Jinan during the Japanese invasion of China to atone for his sins by treating diseases and saving people. He treated the poor free of charge, even though his family was not wealthy. Living in China has gradually accustomed him to the area and is fluent in Chinese.
The idea of returning home has faded. After liberation, his clinic was transformed into a joint clinic. Hiroshi Yamazaki later became a doctor at the health center, and was affectionately known as "Doctor Yama" by the locals, and quietly did many good deeds for the locals.
Little is known about his past.
In 1976, 31 years after the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, China and Japan began to re-establish friendly relations. Hiroshi Yamazaki returned to Japan after a long absence, and it was learned that he was Japanese, and his experience did not arouse hatred.
When he returned to Okayama Prefecture, he found that his family mistakenly thought that he had died on the battlefield that year, and had given him a spiritual seat. However, Hiroshi Yamazaki did not stay in Japan, he rejected his family's offer to find him a job in a hospital, and chose to return to China because he had become accustomed to life in China and had a deep affection for China.
After returning to China, he donated the science and technology books and an electrocardiograph he brought back to Japan to the library and hospital in Jinan. In 1986, Wakayama City and Jinan became sister cities, and Hiroshi Yamazaki played a role in matchmaking.
There has always been a thought of atonement buried in his heart, he wants to serve the people and do his best to contribute to China, because he knows that Japan has brought too many disasters to China.
The elderly Hiroshi Yamazaki is deaf, but he donates the pension issued to him by the Japanese ** every year, with a total of more than 10,000 yuan. He always donated the money in various ways without consulting his family.
His actions made people feel his sincerity and kindness, and his story became a symbol of friendly relations between China and Japan.
Hiroshi Yamazaki passed away in Jinan at the age of 102. The daughter followed her father's last wish and donated her body to fulfill the old man's wish to "stay in China forever".
