After sending away Xiaohua and Ah Lang, Lingzhi still came to the cloth shop every day with the support of Mrs. Hong, Mrs. Hong was not good at doing business, and often made mistakes in selling cloth and pulling cloth, Boss Hong wanted to close the door for a period of time, and then open the door after Lingzhi gave birth, but Lingzhi did not agree, worried that it would make the business of the cloth shop lost, and later recommended by a wife who often came to the cloth shop to buy cloth to make clothes, only to attract a little girl named Yufen, and the business in the store recovered to the past.

Lingzhi never saw Yoshino come to pick up the clothes in the cloth shop, and he was very puzzled, and he stroked his bulging belly with his hand while walking around, and when he saw Hong Shun coming back, he couldn't help but ask, Hong Shun comforted her and waited patiently, but more than a month has passed, and Yoshino still hasn't come.

Later, Hong Shun learned from Chief Liu that Director Wang had been appointed by his superiors as the new manager of the detention center, and the previous chief had been replaced.

Wang Gan organized the management of the shelter to renovate the canteen and kitchen in advance, and put forward the hygiene strategy of "healthy diet" according to the dietary characteristics of the Japanese prisoners of war. Due to the limited supply of superiors, Officer Wang advocated leading some prisoners of war to the suburbs to pick fresh onions and fern moss, and several Japanese prisoners of war who went out were very excited, under the leadership of the guards, along the sheep intestine trail in the suburbs to the direction of Longtou Mountain, along the way the trees are lush, flowers bloom for half a summer, all kinds of unknown birds fly around from the side, smelling the fragrant smell of grass and trees, several Japanese prisoners of war returned to their homes in a trance, laughing and playing with each other, but as soon as they saw the wild onions and fern moss growing on the side of the road, they ran over happily, Whenever I dig out the white onion fruit buried in the ground, I can't help but bring it to my nose and smell the aroma of the wild onion fruit. The guards took them all the way to the top of Longtou Mountain, standing on the top of the hill and looking down on the entire ancient city, several Japanese prisoners of war were deeply overwhelmed by the tranquility and beauty of the ancient city, and couldn't help but stretch out their thumbs and praise again and again. After returning to the shelter, seeing that they were carrying wild onions and fern moss in their hands, their faces were full of excited smiles, and other Japanese prisoners of war couldn't help but cast envious eyes on them, especially the Japanese couple, who came over to pick up fresh wild onions and fern moss, their eyes lit up, and they took the initiative to wash and pick them together.

The Japanese couple under the care of Taro Yoshino, the body is gradually recovering, this day they found Ma Yi, explained the intention to Ma Yiyi, Ma Yi took them together to try to walk into Wang Officer's office, Wang Secretary saw them, hurriedly stood up to welcome them to the chair to sit down, and went to pour tea to serve them, enthusiastically asked them what was the matter, the husband and wife sincerely conveyed their thoughts to Wang through Ma Interpreter:

"I haven't taken a shower since I came here for a few months, can you solve the bathing problem for us?"

"Let's think about it and see if we can vacate an empty house and build a shower room." Officer Wang said with a smile.

After listening to the Ma translator relay to them, the husband and wife anxiously waved their hands to Secretary Wang, who did not know what to do, and saw that the two of them were talking to the Ma interpreter, and the Ma translator turned to Officer Wang with a smile and said:

"They weren't used to showering and wanted to make it a bucket so they could take turns taking hot showers all year round. A few of the prisoners of war knew how to make bath buckets, so we didn't have to do anything but give them tools. ”

"Oh, that's right, then arrange for the guards to buy the tools and materials for them according to their needs. But there has to be an empty house. Wang thought as he spoke, and finally decided to vacate the room where he lived.

"And where do you live?" Ma asked the translator.

"It's okay, I can live in the Great Hall with everyone." Officer Wang said.

"This? Not so good. Translator Ma said worriedly.

"It's nothing, so let's do it." Officer Wang patted Ma Yi's shoulder and said.

After listening to Ma Yi's explanation, the husband and wife stood up together and bowed deeply to Secretary Wang, and then walked out with each other in their arms.

The next day, after several Japanese prisoners of war finished eating, they began to be busy in the courtyard, Yoshino Taro learned about the situation from the Japanese couple, and also took the initiative to join in, the Japanese couple enthusiastically worked as staff officers on the side, comparing and drawing, and the others came over to inquire puzzled, and learned that they were going to make a Japanese-style bath bucket, and they told each other one by one, and they were ecstatic. In the summer, Secretary Wang personally led the Japanese prisoners of war to swim in the river, and also taught everyone to cast nets and fish, and the live fish jumped alive in their hands, and after taking them back, they handed them over to the canteen, and they ate delicious sour soup fish that night.

Later, when Officer Wang heard that the Japanese prisoners of war liked to drink natural spring water, he organized the prisoners of war to dig a well in the backyard, and the underground springs in the ancient city were abundant, and a well was dug in a few days.

Yoshino Taro also gave full play to his medical knowledge, and in accordance with the requirements of Secretary Wang, cooperated with the physical examination and sick care of the Japanese prisoners of war, and helped to do this and that every day, full of energy, more smiles, and full of hope in his eyes, especially the Japanese couple, who used their medical skills to treat them every day, and won the trust and favor of the couple.

One day at noon, Secretary Wang and the Japanese prisoners of war were eating in the canteen together, Secretary Wang was talking while walking with the Ma interpreter, and before he reached the table, he suddenly felt dizzy, the food in his hand immediately slipped to the ground, and the person also fell to the side, the Ma translator quickly helped up Secretary Wang, and at the same time shouted Yoshino Taro around, Yoshino Taro ran over quickly, and helped Secretary Wang to the dining table and sat down with Ma Yi, everyone rushed over together, and asked about Secretary Wang's situation with concern. Yoshino Taro touched Officer Wang's forehead with his hand, touched his own, and told Ma Translator that Secretary Wang had a cold and high fever that caused a coma, Officer Wang opened his eyes and smiled at everyone and said that it was not in the way, but Yoshino Taro couldn't help but say that he carried Officer Wang on his back, and Ma Translator asked the prisoners of war to make way out of the way, and everyone dodged away one after another, watching Yoshino Taro carry Officer Wang out of the cafeteria and go straight to the dormitory.

At dinner in the afternoon, the Japanese couple held a lunch box in their hands and slowly walked into the dormitory of Secretary Wang, Taro Yoshino and Translator Ma had been guarding the bedside of Chef Wang's bed, Taro Yoshino kept putting a towel on Chef Wang's forehead to reduce fever, and Translator Ma helped change the water in the basin. After an afternoon of careful nursing, Officer Wang's high fever has subsided, but he is tired and needs to lie down to rest.

When the three of them saw them come in, Ma Yi hurriedly stood up and sat down, only to see the Japanese couple open the lunch box in their hands, which was freshly boiled egg and green vegetable porridge, yellow, white and green, looking at it couldn't help but make people appetite, through Ma Yi conveyed, only to know that they went to the canteen to personally boil for Secretary Wang, Secretary Wang expressed deep gratitude to them, the female prisoner of war personally used a soup spoon to blow and feed to Secretary Wang, Secretary Wang couldn't help but wet his eyes with tears.

"My parents died so early that I never had someone feed me." Officer Wang said.

After listening to Ma's translation, the female prisoner of war told Secretary Wang that their own son was the same age as him, but unfortunately he was brought in by the government to join the army and had died on the battlefield. Therefore, they are grateful to Mr. Wang from the bottom of their hearts, and treat him as their own child, hoping that Mr. Wang will recover and be healthy as soon as possible.

"Okay, after I recover from my illness, I will take you to the slopes of Huangsang and other places to pick wild chestnuts, and go to the Chaoyangba area to dig up ear roots and pick celery, so that everyone can enjoy the mountain treasures of the ancient city." Officer Wang said.

"These mountain delicacies would be even better if they could be dipped in fermented bean curd." Taro Yoshino said.

After listening to Ma's translation, Officer Wang replied anxiously:

"This is easy to do, our ancient city is rich in fermented bean curd, especially the moldy tofu of the He family, which is famous in the ancient city, and it is also presented to Lafayette as a tribute to the ancient city during the Qing Dynasty."

After listening to Ma's translation, the three of them couldn't help laughing.

Under the careful care of Taro Yoshino and others, the Japanese prisoners of war took turns to visit, some brought fruits, some sent rice cakes, everyone sat in front of Wang Officer's bed to recount the past of childhood, tell about the customs of their respective hometowns, and from time to time let out hearty laughter, and the room was full of joy and friendship.

A few days later, Secretary Wang recovered from his illness, put on his clothes and walked out of the room to bask in the sun, the Japanese prisoners of war saw Officer Wang gathered around, gestured and asked about Secretary Wang's condition, Secretary Wang comprehended them one by one, and expressed his gratitude for everyone's concern, because of the language barrier, Secretary Wang sat and hummed "On the Songhua River", the beautiful melody deeply touched the hearts of the Japanese prisoners of war, and after Secretary Wang finished singing, everyone hugged a burst of warm applause, and then also sang Japan's "Ode to Cherry Blossoms", several prisoners of war also sang and danced, Officer Wang also beat his hands with the rhythm, immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

Later, a library was built in the camp, and Wang asked Taro Yoshino, Ma Yiyi, and others to compile and print the magazines "Peace Pioneer" and "East Asia Pioneer" in the Peace Village, reflecting the life, study, and labor of the Japanese prisoners of war in the Peace Village, and the war against Japanese imperialist aggression, with about 50 pages per issue, ranging from 100 to 200 copies, and distributing them to the prisoners of war for publicity. At the same time, it also organized skilled craftsmen among the Japanese prisoners of war to make use of the abundant bamboo, wood, stone, and ox bone resources of the ancient city to process them into seals, cigarette pouch heads, wall clocks, human head reliefs, violins, moon harps, ukuleles, and other handicrafts, as well as models of cars, trains, ships, airplanes, cannons, and tanks, which were sold by the shelters, and the sales income went to the Japanese prisoners of war themselves, so that some Japanese prisoners had some pocket money to buy candy and cigarettes.

One day, Mr. Wang received a notice from his superiors that a scholar from the International Red Cross Society was going to visit the Gucheng Internment Center to inspect the living conditions of the Japanese prisoners of war. At the same time, Mr. and Mrs. Kajiwa, writers of the Japanese Anti-War League, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Kajiwataru, were able to speak freely during this inspection and give the international community a realistic portrayal of the life of prisoners of war.

A few days later, a black sedan drove into the detention center, and Officer Wang, Chief Liu, and Ma Yiyi stood in the courtyard to greet them, and two men and one woman got out of the car, and in front of them was a scholar from Switzerland, followed by Mr. and Mrs. Lu Digan, and Mr. and Mrs. Lu Digan.

Due to the language barrier of the Swiss scholars, Mr. Wang assigned him the translator Ma and accompanied him throughout the inspection. Mr. and Mrs. Lu Di directly proposed to meet the Japanese prisoner of war couple, so Wang asked the guards to call the Japanese prisoner of war couple, and the four of them saw each other, hugged each other, burst into tears, and complained to each other, and the people around them couldn't help but wipe their tears for their meeting.

Chief Liu specially arranged a reception dinner in the ancient city, which was attended by Swiss scholars, Mr. and Mrs. Ludi, Mr. and Mrs. Wang, Mr. Ma, Mr. and Mrs. Ma, the couple of Japanese prisoners of war, Taro Yoshino, and others.

"If there is no Ma translator today, we will not be able to eat this meal." Officer Wang said to Chief Liu with a smile.

"This is also the first time I have sat down to eat with so many foreign guests since I took up my post in the ancient city, which is really rare." Chief Liu said.

"In this way, our ancient city is very famous." Officer Wang said.

"This is also your credit, for managing this shelter so well, and attracting international attention, I also have to ask for credit for your superiors." Chief Liu raised his glass and toasted to Secretary Wang and said.

"How dare you, this is all because everyone cooperates well." Officer Wang raised his glass and drank it all.

Mr. and Mrs. Kajiwa talked in Japanese with the Japanese prisoner of war couple about their experiences over the years, and they were very grateful to be able to meet each other again in the ancient city, greeting each other about their bodies, food, sleep, etc., and chatting happily.

Swiss scholars discussed the war between China and Japan with Taro Yoshino through a Ma translator, and Taro Yoshino expounded his views on this war, especially when he came to the ancient city shelter, he saw that the Chinese soldiers and civilians sincerely treated prisoners preferentially, although the Japanese army implemented the "three-light policy" against China, did all kinds of evil, and was inhumane, but the Chinese people still tolerated them with the greatest measure and carried out the education and influence of the humanitarian spirit to them, and he was deeply moved.

The next day, the Swiss scholars and Mr. and Mrs. Lu Di, accompanied by Mr. Wang, visited the canteen, kitchen, dormitory, bathhouse, training room, library, ward, etc. in the detention center, especially in the canteen, they saw that the food eaten by the Japanese prisoners of war was better than that of the Chinese soldiers on the anti-Japanese front, which deeply moved the Swiss scholars, and they believed that the shelter was the best shelter for humane management because of its preferential treatment of Japanese prisoners of war, perfect education and management, and was curious about the various handicrafts made by the Japanese prisoners of war, and said that they would take a few to participate in the handicraft exhibition.

Mr. and Mrs. Deer Di since "Nine? After the 18th Incident, he actively participated in the Japanese proletarian literary and artistic movement, and made many anti-war speeches, so he was persecuted by Japanese militarism, arrested by the Japanese government, and after being released from prison, he came to Shanghai and began to publicly publish articles against Japanese militarism's invasion of China.

The Shikajiwatars not only published anti-war articles in newspapers and magazines, but also actively contacted progressive Japanese journalists so that his articles could also be published in Japanese newspapers. Since Wataru Kajichi was a Japanese anti-war writer and was very important to Japan's press and propaganda, Wataru Kajiwa once addressed the Japanese people in Japanese on the radio station, calling on the Japanese people to rise up against the war of aggression launched by the militarists. Braving artillery fire, he also accompanied the Wuhan front-line comfort labor group headed by Guo Moruo to the front line to offer condolences and give guidance to the front-line propaganda work against the enemy. At the same time, he also went to various Japanese prisoner camps to educate and reform Japanese prisoners.

After learning about the changes in the shelter and the current mentality of the Japanese prisoners of war in order to help Mr. and Mrs. Wang further promote the awakening of the Japanese prisoners of war, Mr. and Mrs. Ludiwa decided to give a speech to the Japanese prisoners of war, which was actively supported by Mr. Wang.

Director Wang arranged this matter to Ma Yi and Taro Yoshino, and the two of them actively prepared and planned, cleaned the auditorium, put a lectern on the platform, put a small blackboard behind it, and set up benches under the stage in a neat and orderly manner. So, on the afternoon of the next day, all the Japanese prisoners of war in the shelter lined up into the auditorium and sat down, and Secretary Wang and Ma Yi accompanied Lu Di and his wife into the big hall.

"Hello everyone! Today we have the honor to invite Mr. Lu Di Wataru to give us a speech, please welcome! ”

The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause, Secretary Wang walked down the stage and sat in the middle of Mrs. Lu Di and Ma Interpreter, Lu Di first bowed deeply to all the personnel, and then walked to the podium, and began to speak in Japanese, and Ma Translator translated sentence by sentence to Secretary Wang, the general content is as follows:

My dear compatriots,

What caused you to leave your homeland? What is it that separates you? What brought you to this smoke-filled battlefield?

When you are in the right years, you should study at school, work hard in society, and be by the side of your loved ones. But you are driven to pick up guns and fire at innocent Chinese, and burn the flames of war on Chinese soil.

Japan and China are separated by the sea, and they should be friendly neighbors separated by a strip of water, but you have come to China thousands of miles away to wantonly burn, kill, plunder, and trample. No, this is the reaction of Japanese militarism, and it is they who want to expand their interests and push you who do not know the truth to the front line of this rain of bullets.

I sympathize with China, and my compatriots in Japan know that they have already sentenced me to death, but what does it matter? I have been very free to cooperate with the Chinese government, and I have drafted propaganda leaflets against Japan and broadcast the news to my brothers and sisters in Japan by radio, and when the Japanese people understand the truth, they will rise up against militarism.

The Japanese and Chinese people have enhanced their understanding and friendship through long-term exchanges, and both love peace, so we should strengthen Japan-China friendship, which is a fatal blow to militarism, and Japanese militarism is most afraid of friendship between the Japanese and Chinese peoples.

I hope that Japan will finally realize that its real enemy is not China, but itself.

All the Japanese prisoners of war in the audience applauded Mr. Kajiwataru for his speech, and Yoshino Taro applauded while wiping away tears of excitement, because Mr. Shikajiwatar's speech went directly to his heart, and recalled the experience when he was punished by military punishment for vigorously opposing this kind of aggression, but after being captured, under the policy of "preferential treatment of prisoners" by Chinese soldiers, he lived a normal life, so he felt deeply in his heart.

The next day, when the Swiss scholars were about to return, the Ludiwa couple were entrusted by Guo Moruo to stay in the detention center for a period of time to participate in the education and reform of Japanese prisoners of war, so they parted ways and said goodbye.

With reverence for Mr. Wataru Shikaji, Taro Yoshino took the initiative to come to Mr. and Mrs. Kaji's room every day, in addition to helping Mr. and Mrs. Shikaji to do what they could, the happiest thing was to talk freely with Mr. and Mrs. Kajiwa to exchange views on the war, and Mr. and Mrs. Shikaji encouraged Mr. and Mrs. Yoshino to be Japanese who "clearly adhered to their own opinions, opposed war ideas, and fought for their ideals".

"There are also people here who have been deceived by imperialism and say that we are victims of war, but I despise such people." Taro Yoshino said.

"Obedience to the spirit, this is the virtue of the so-called imperial army, and also the virtue of the slave. Slaves are not masters of the state, so there is no responsibility, this kind of patriotism, not real patriotism. This war was a shameful war for Japan, but you were lucky not to die, and you will definitely learn about this event later. Lu Di said.

"Talking to you, I have strengthened my confidence to work hard to live well, and I look forward to returning to China as soon as possible to reunite with my relatives." Taro Yoshino said happily.

"Don't worry, you can always come to me if you have any questions. Have you ever heard one of China's famous anti-Japanese war songs, "The Ballad of the Great Wall"? Lu Di asked.

"Nope." Yoshino shook his head.

"The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and outside the Great Wall is the hometown, where sorghum and soybeans are fragrant, and gold is everywhere." Wataru Shikaji hummed softly in Japanese, and his wife Sachiko Ikeda also beat the beat with her hands, and the beautiful melody intoxicated the three of them.

On this day, after Ma Yi went out to do something, he went to the market to stroll, and suddenly saw a leather ball, and couldn't help but play with it twice in his hand, and thought it was interesting, so he bought it back. Ma Yi walked into the shelter with the ball, and was seen by several Japanese prisoners of war in the courtyard, so they came over to him together to ask him for the ball to play, Ma Yi pondered for a while, remembering that the Japanese have loved to play volleyball since childhood, and felt that it was better to organize everyone to play volleyball together. Although the space in the yard is limited, everyone still separates and takes out chalk to draw a simple and small playing field in the yard, and then divides into two groups of players to stand on one side and start a volleyball game, stipulating that the losing side runs around the yard three times.

Ma Yi kicked off first, after Yoshino Taro received the ball due to too much force, the ball flew out of the sideline, so that the other prisoners of war laughed for a while, and then the two sides came and went, the sound of the ball and shouts sounded together, attracting other prisoners of war to come over to watch, some also cheered on the side from time to time, and several Japanese prisoners of war also had itchy hands and took the initiative to go up to replace the players who played the stinky ball. Mr. Wang and Mr. and Mrs. Lu Di also happily walked out of the room to watch the battle, which aroused everyone's enthusiasm for a while, only to see the ball being beaten by both sides on the field, and suddenly a Japanese prisoner of war was beaten out of the courtyard wall because of his excessive force.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a little boy about four or five years old with dirt on his face, his hair was messy, he was dressed in dirty clothes, and he was standing at the door with a leather ball in both hands and looking in.

"Is this the ball you picked up for us?"

"Uncle, can you give me something to eat? I'm hungry. As soon as the little boy finished speaking, he fainted and fell to the ground, and the ball in his hand fell to the ground.

Ma Translator hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the little boy, shouting Yoshino Taro, Yoshino Taro flew over, checked the little boy's symptoms, said that it was faint caused by hunger, Wang and Lu Di Wataru also rushed over, everyone sent the little boy to the infirmary, Yoshino Taro gave the little boy artificial respiration, soon the little boy woke up, Wang brought a bowl of porridge and two white flour steamed buns from the canteen, the little boy saw the food, I don't know where the strength came from, Struggling to sit up and take the steamed bun and eat it in a few gulps, Secretary Wang smiled and told him to eat slowly, no one grabbed him, and Sachiko Ikeda took a wrung out towel and lovingly scrubbed the dirt off the little boy's face.

"What's your name? Where is your father? Ma asked the translator.

"People call me a rotten egg, my father died in battle, and my mother doesn't know where I am." The little boy said as he drank porridge.

After listening to Ma Yiyi's translation, the people present couldn't help but bow their heads, and their previous interest in playing volleyball suddenly disappeared. Yoshino Taro pleaded with Secretary Wang to keep the little boy and let him take care of him, but Secretary Wang did not say anything, but said to the little boy:

"Have you eaten enough? I'll bring you two more steamed buns, and you can bring them with you, okay? ”

"Uncle, can you let me stay? As long as there are steamed buns to eat, let me do anything. The little boy begged Wang.

"Let him follow us first." Sachiko Ikeda said.

"Let me discuss with Chief Liu first." Officer Wang said cautiously.

After Chief Liu came over to understand the situation, he found someone to pick up the little boy out, which made Yoshino Taro and other Japanese prisoners of war very incomprehensible, and Director Wang looked at everyone's stunned expressions, and said with a very heavy heart:

"I understand everyone's thoughts, one more child here, it doesn't cost much to eat and wear. But this will lead to more people pouring into the shelters. Our compatriots have borne too much suffering because of this war, the mountains and rivers have been broken, families have been destroyed, wives have been separated, food and clothing have been fruitless, and everyone with a conscience and a sense of justice will stand up against this war like us. The greatest help you should give to our compatriots is to make more Japanese soldiers wake up to the fact that China and Japan should be friendly neighbors and not kill each other. ”

"We need to be 'self-conscious Japanese' and not fascist fanatical militarists." Lu Di said.

"The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, and outside the Great Wall is the hometown, where sorghum and soybeans are fragrant, and gold is everywhere." Taro Yoshino took the lead in singing the "Ballad of the Great Wall" by the Shikaji Wataru religion, and some Japanese prisoners of war also hummed along, and the Shikaji Wataru couple couldn't help but join in with excitement, and the loud singing echoed in the auditorium.

With the support of Mr. Wang, after many lectures and conversations, Mr. and Mrs. Wataru Kaji first recruited Taro Yoshino and the couple of Japanese prisoners of war to join the "Japanese People's Anti-War League in China" and established the "Peace Village Task Force of the Japanese People's Anti-War League in China" in the detention center. Through daily study, education, and conversations, and especially listening to the heartfelt and deeply touching speeches of the Wataru de Luji, some Japanese prisoners of war realized that the Chinese military and civilians were sincerely giving preferential treatment to them, and that although the Japanese army practiced the three-light policy against China, did all kinds of evil, and was inhumane, China still tolerated them with the greatest measure and practiced the spirit of humanitarianism. So they responded to the call, took the initiative to join the anti-war alliance, and received training to prepare for going to the front line to carry out anti-war propaganda.

One day, Taro Yoshino came to Mr. and Mrs. Kajiwa with his own anti-war leaflet to ask for advice, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Mr. and Mrs. Kajiwa and the Japanese prisoner of war couple sitting together in silence, Yoshino Taro was deeply surprised, and couldn't help but ask what was wrong with them, Ikeda Sachiko told him that Kajiwa had just received an unfortunate news, three anti-war allies were unfortunately shot and died when they were shouting propaganda to the Japanese army with a loudspeaker at the frontline position, and the Chinese soldiers held a grand memorial meeting for them, and thousands of soldiers and civilians volunteered to participate in the memorial service.

"They even beat their own people, and they don't have a little conscience, what a group of fanatical militarists who are full of loyalty to the emperor!" Lu Di cried out in pain.

"Our anti-war alliance still has a very heavy task." Sachiko Ikeda said anxiously.

"The sacrifices of these three anti-war allies have inspired me even more, and I am going to create a drama based on them, called 'Three Brothers.'" Lu Di said loudly.

"I support you, if you need help, sir, just ask." Taro Yoshino said.

"Through this incident, we will awaken all our allied members, and they will actively work to spread the idea of opposing the war to the Japanese soldiers more widely, and we will certainly do it." Lu Di said.

During the period when Kajiwa was concentrating on the creation of the drama "Three Brothers", Taro Yoshino and the Japanese prisoners of war could not bear to disturb him, and even Sachiko Ikeda rarely went to his room, and every day he took the "Study of the Enemy Situation" compiled and printed by Kajiwa in the courtyard to study, and from time to time he communicated with the Japanese prisoners of war, and his voice was as low as possible, so as not to interrupt Shikajiwatara's creative thoughts. Wang instructed the cafeteria to cook delicious meals for the Shikajiwa couple, and Sachiko Ikeda brought them into the room.

Under the leadership of Director Wang and Ma Yiyi, the members of the Anti-War League worked hard every day to train how to use the antagonistic psychology of Japanese officers and soldiers on the battlefield to effectively and strategically carry out propaganda, break down the morale of the Japanese army, and play a positive role in the victory of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. The number of Japanese prisoners of war who joined the anti-war alliance in the camps increased day by day, and one by one they were transformed from fanatical militarists loyal to the Japanese emperor to anti-fascist fighters.

He recalled that the Japanese imperialists had been very angry at the fact that the Japanese prisoners had been captured from the front line and transferred to the rear by planes to follow and bomb them in turn, and that they would rather the Japanese prisoners become dead ghosts underground than be taken prisoners, and that he would never let them be prisoners, and he had the idea in his heart that he wanted to let more Japanese people know the truth of the facts, let more Japanese young people see clearly the evils of this war, publicize Sino-Japanese friendship, and advocate the restoration of diplomatic relations between Japan and China, so that the Japanese prisoners of war love peace and return to their Japanese homeland as soon as possible. Every time he thinks of this, Lu Diqing's heart is full of creative passion, and he writes hard, integrating the love for the people of the two countries and the hatred of this war into the script he creates.

When Lu Digan handed over the script of the "Three Brothers" to Wang and Ma Translator to read, Wang saw that Lu Digen's eyes were bloodshot and sincerely admired his perseverance. Ma Yiyi read the script to Wang Guan page by page, and both of them were attracted by the highlights in the script, praised Lu Digan's creative talent, and deeply admired Lu Digan's literary talent. Especially when the two of them were eating and reading in the cafeteria, the Japanese prisoners of war who were eating next to them couldn't help but gather around and listen carefully, so Ma Translator simply read it in Chinese and Japanese respectively, and everyone listened attentively. The script quickly spread among the members of the Anti-War League, and everyone rushed to read it, recalling their past reckless behavior, and they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

At the suggestion of Taro Yoshino, everyone decided to rehearse the drama "Three Brothers", and all the characters in the play were performed by the members of the Anti-War League themselves, so as to awaken more Japanese youth. Taro Yoshino and the members of the Anti-War League who performed studied and practiced, listened carefully to Wataru Kaji's rehearsal instructions, and slowly entered the characters in the script step by step, little by little, and felt that this was himself in reality, so he gradually became familiar with the lines in the script and the true feelings of the characters, and began to find a feeling when acting.

After a period of rehearsals, Taro Yoshino and other members of the Anti-War League finally completed the whole play, so everyone decided to conduct a test performance in the camp first, and Secretary Wang invited Chief Liu and other government officials to come to the auditorium of the camp and sit under the stage to watch the first performance of the members of the Anti-War League with other Japanese prisoners of war.

The stage is extremely simple arrangement, no curtain, no lights, no megaphone, the actors do not wear makeup, wear daily clothes, hold simple props, under the direction of Lu Di Gan, as if playing the real self, on the simple stage, according to the change of the role to perform, sometimes chanting, sometimes low, although speaking Japanese, Wang and Chief Liu and so on can not understand, but everyone from the development of the plot and the change of the actors slowly understand the meaning, In particular, some of the Japanese prisoners of war sitting behind Director Wang and Chief Liu couldn't help but sob, and the entire auditorium was filled with a strong anti-war sentiment, until the end of the performance, some Japanese prisoners of war got up from their seats and raised their arms and shouted:

"Against this war! Advocate Japan-China friendship! ”

Other Japanese prisoners of war also chanted, and the officials sitting in the audience, Wang and Chief Liu, as well as the officials in the palace, all gave warm applause in support.

Later, Director Wang reported the rehearsal and performance to his superiors, which aroused great attention from his superiors, believing that during this period of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese prisoners of war themselves would perform dramas to promote the anti-war war and play an important role in promoting the anti-Japanese resistance of the whole country. Therefore, under the leadership of Lu Di and his wife, all the members of the crew of "Three Brothers" went to Guilin, Liuzhou, Chongqing and other places for public performances for the first time, which received wide attention from people from all walks of life at home and abroad, and the famous playwright Xia Yan translated the script of "Three Brothers" into Chinese and serialized it in the Guilin edition of "Salvation Daily", which caused a sensation in the rear of the Anti-Japanese War. "Salvation Daily" and "Xinhua Daily" both carried articles introducing the plot and the grand occasion of the performance, and "Three Brothers" was praised as the most important anti-war literature created by Lu Di during his stay in China. The most high-level and influential work, the front-line positions also publicized the Japanese army in Japanese through radio, and the reputation of the Anti-War League spread widely in China.

During this period, Lujiwa also wrote a number of anti-war propaganda articles, especially during the period of the ancient city shelter, through his own personal feelings, wrote the book "Interview of the Prisoner Shelter", which was translated into Chinese and serialized in the "Salvation Daily", Lujiwa affectionately called the shelter "the Japanese people's university against hegemonism", "the place of rebirth" and "the second hometown".
