"Seven years! The best 7 years of my life. Jin Mantang put down his wine glass and said, "Hey, now I think of that time when life is worse than death, it makes people shudder." ”

Andchekurov looked at this Chinese comrade who was warmly receiving him with some inexplicability and said: "Comrade Kim, what is going on, is it really so terrible?"

Jin Mantang turned off the TV with the remote control and was silent for a while.

"Kimmando is my current name, my original name was Keiji Yokoji, and I used to be a man. It was in 1943 that I was a year away from graduating from Waseda University, and I was assigned to Shenyang by the then Waseda Axe, then called Mukden, to do technical work at the Tonghe Arsenal. In 1945 I was taken as a prisoner of war by you Soviets. ”

Jin Mantang took a sip of wine slowly, and his face was full of sad memories: "That is really an unbearable time, I am still lucky, I was not shot directly by you Soviets like some of the prisoners of war." Like many of the surviving Yuben prisoners of war, I was sent to Siberia like an animal to work as coolies, eating pig and dog food, doing cattle and horse work, and later transferred us to Nakhodka in the Far East, which was still a small fishing village dominated by Chinese at that time, and it was us who built the deep-water dock that we have built now, and many people were tortured to death or died of exhaustion, starvation, and disease. In the end, there were very few Liao Liao who returned to the book. Thankfully, I have unimaginable vitality, and I don't know how I survived in that environment. ”

Jin Mantang glared at Andchekurov with fierce eyes and said: "Now look at how we Chinese treat you Soviet prisoners of war, and you will know how big the gap between you Russians and us Chinese is in doing things like people." ”

Andchekurov looked at the tearful Kim Man-tang and sincerely apologized and said: "Oh, I'm sorry, Comrade Kim. My question evokes unpleasant memories in you. However, he still secretly thought in his heart: How can you compare with us, we and China are revolutionary comrades, and you are called fascists. ! We Chinese people who are also worthy of saying it, you don't look at which dish you count.

However, Anderchekurov is still curious about how this little man became "us Chinese". So he asked: "Comrade Jin, how did you come to China and how did you become Chinese?" ”

"In 1952, I only returned to Japan from the Far East with one breath, at that time my country was dismantling the industrial equipment of Japan, as a war reparation for the invasion of our country, I had nothing at that time, but fortunately, I studied machinery in college, and I had a skill, so I signed up for labor services in China and came to China. It was the wisest and most correct choice I ever made in my life. After arriving in China, I worked hard, and brought a lot of Chinese apprentices, made a little contribution to the technological innovation movement, and won unanimous praise from comrades, I obtained a Chinese surname in two years after coming to China, and was approved to become a Chinese nationality as the first batch of foreigners who have made special contributions to China. Jin Mantang swept away the gloom on his face and said very proudly: "It's okay now." Now I am the deputy head of the technical department of Changbai Machinery Factory, and last year I joined China with honor. When I returned to Samoto, who did not envy me, every time I returned to Samoto, I would bring some gifts to my relatives and friends, and they welcomed me as if they were Emperor Samoto. Last year, I went home and brought a color TV to my father and my father-in-law's family. Ha, ha, ha, my father's house is about to become a movie theater. My father-in-law put the color TV I gave me in the cold noodle shop he opened, and the turnover increased by half, thinking that he didn't agree to marry his daughter to me at the beginning, and now when he sees me, his face is as happy as a chrysanthemum. He also said with a shy face that it was he who saw that I was a character and a seriously underestimated potential stock, and decided to marry his youngest daughter to me

Andchekurov listened carefully to the stinky vernacular of Jin Mantang. However, he still did not forget this delicious hot pot, dipped in the condiments and ate a large bite of the fatty beef slices in the hot pot, and then looked up at this self-proclaimed Chinese Yokochi Keiji and asked: "Comrade Jin, do you think you are more of a person or a Chinese now?" ”

"Of course I'm Chinese!" Jin Mantang's eyes widened, and he immediately replied in an unquestioning tone, "Not only am I, but my wife Zhao Cuihua also became a Chinese citizen 4 years ago, and she is also Chinese, and our children were born in China, and they are truly Chinese."

"Aren't Chinese like you discriminated against in China?" Anderchekurov asked with concern.

Jin Mantang shook his head and said, "No, absolutely not." While drinking the soup, he said, "We Chinese are not like you Russians, we Chinese are kind, there is no racial discrimination, as long as you work well, increase your salary, promote your position, divide your room, and all good things are indispensable to you." If you look at what I eat, the house I live in, the big color TV, the refrigerator, the washing machine, the bathroom with steam, the flushing toilet, all of these things are unimaginable in the United States. Do you look like you're being discriminated against? Jin Mantang's demeanor was overflowing.

He looked at the envious and jealous expression on the face of Anderchekurov, an old Russian hairy man, his heart was full of pleasure, and with a hint of revenge, he said to the Belarusian who came to his house in a rather harsh language: "Comrade Anderchekurov, in the Soviet Union, even your high-ranking officials at the provincial and municipal levels probably don't have these facilities in my house, right?" I take the liberty of asking, have you ever seen these household appliances before? Can you imagine this modern life? Have you ever lived in such a tall building? Do you know where this warm spring heat comes from? Do you know where the hot water we use for our daily baths comes from?"

If Anderchekurov hadn't been a guest at this little house of Yokoji Keiji, he would have really wanted to slap him in the mouth. Although you are now a native of China, you are not interested in such a bullish b, isn't this angry and unworthy. But when he thought about it, he had never seen these luxurious bourgeois things, he had never been up to such a tall building, and he had indeed not seen any heating facilities in the room, but he just felt the heat coming to the floor, but he was still unwilling to say, "Yes, there is a color TV in every class in our school, which is bigger than your house", but at the same time, he still couldn't help but show envy and asked: "Comrade Jin, do you say that if I also become a Chinese citizen, will it take me 7 years to reach your level?" ”

Jin Mantang filled Andchekurov with another glass of wine, still not forgetting to count the Soviet Union and say: "Come friends, drink, this kind of Kanto small burn is 62 degrees, and it tastes really powerful." Your Soviet vodka is not even as hot as that. ”

After taking a sip, Andchekurov undoubtedly borrowed the word "Chinese liquor" and said: "Yes, yes, Chinese liquor is mellow and delicious, with an endless aftertaste, and it is indeed very powerful." ”

After taking a sip, Jin Mantang looked the Soviet prisoner of war up and down and said, "If our political axe can approve your naturalization of our country, plus your own hard work, it should not be a problem." But let me tell you, if you want to join our nationality, it is not so easy, first of all, you must truly love our China from the heart, be loyal to our Chinese political axe under any circumstances, and secondly, you must have special talents. And before that, these two points can be fully expressed in some way and recognized. ”

Anderchekurov nodded, picked up his glass and said: "Comrade Kim, thank you for your advice. I envy you so much. For you to live a better life, and for me to be like you as soon as possible, let's have a drink! ”

"Comrade Kim, I have one more question," Anderchekurov said a little drunken and hazy, "I will bring a lot of inconvenience to your family when I come to your house, and I want to ask whether this is voluntary or organizationally arranged."

"First of all, I volunteered, of course, the organization agreed." Jin Mantang smiled and said, "Do you know why I asked to receive you Soviet prisoners of war? Let me tell you, it's not that I have any affection for the Soviets, but on the contrary, not only do I not have the slightest affection for the Russians, but I hate them very much. I have invited you here to show you how different the two seven years of my life have been in China and the Soviet Union. During those 7 years in the Soviet Union, I was almost killed by you Russians. But I didn't die, and then I went to China. I have become the best and most dignified Chinese in the world. The organization agreed that I would receive you, not because of what I said, but because I could communicate with you with a few words of Russian. Let you understand the current living conditions of our people more freely. Do you know? ”

Jin Mantang is really happy today, he is satisfied, the satisfaction of a winner, a success.

Anderchekurov could understand Kimmantang's feelings. He thanked China from the bottom of his heart for everything they had done to these Soviet prisoners of war, and he said with emotion: "Comrade Jin, thank you, I see a miracle in you!" I must learn from you. Through your story, I have learned more about how happy I am to be a prisoner of war in China, and I can never forget the kindness of the Chinese people. At the same time, I also see in you my bright future, you were a fascist who invaded China in the past, and the Chinese can ignore your past grievances, let you live such a good life, become the best life in the world, the most dignified Chinese, I will definitely be able to become a person like you. When I go back, I will tell our classmates about the miracles that happened to you. I also hope that we can become good friends and you will give me more guidance on how to work and live in China in the future. ”

"Let me first correct your statement, I used to be an accomplice of the Japanese militarism that invaded China, but I was definitely not a fascist," Jin Mantang was very satisfied with Anderchekurov's statement that he was a Japanese fascist who had invaded China in the past.

He picked up a "massive" cigarette, handed it to Andchekurov and said: "If you want to say thank you, you don't want to thank me, we should all thank China's policy of inclusiveness and leniency." As he spoke, he stood up, walked to the TV cabinet, picked up a small semiconductor radio, walked back to the dining table, and said while caressing it carefully: "This five-tube semiconductor radio is because of my outstanding work, and my country's political axe rewarded me for the first time. Today I give you as a good friend of mine. I hope that you and I will not forget the kindness of the Chinese people to us. I also hope that you will soon become a citizen of the People's Republic of China, the best and most dignified life in the world, just like me.

Through documentaries introducing various aspects of the construction of New China and visits by Soviet prisoners of war to China, this new-style movement of prisoner of war education and reform played an extremely important role in the rapid political and ideological disintegration of Soviet prisoners of war. The Soviet prisoners of war were very satisfied with this special form of education, which enabled these Soviet prisoners of war to ideologically overcome their hostility towards China. Through radio and television and such on-site intuitive visits, as well as the lively and practical method of education and transformation of eating and living with ordinary Chinese people and experiencing the lives of the Chinese people, the Soviet prisoners of war have further deepened their comprehensive and intuitive understanding of China, strengthened the relationship between these Soviet prisoners of war and the Chinese people, and aroused their strong desire to yearn for China. At the same time, it also promoted the development of the education and rehabilitation campaign of these Soviet prisoners of war. For the transformation of the 76,000 prisoners of war of the Soviet Pacific Fleet into Chinese People's Liberation Army People's Navy soldiers. The consolidation of China's new districts has played a significant role.

After the prisoners of war who participated in the prisoner of war tour group finished their visit to China, they returned to the "school" and held large and small symposiums, report meetings, and briefing meetings. Many prisoners of war who participated in the delegation opened their eyes and saw the world, and they met and went down to the meeting, openly and privately tirelessly recounting what they had seen and heard in China, and said with emotion: "China has made such great achievements in such a short period of time, which is enough to show that China's development model is correct, China and the Soviet Union are both socialist countries, and the Soviet Union took national power 40 years earlier than China, but now China's buildings are higher than those of the Soviet Union, China's material is richer than that of the Soviet Union, and China's things are cheaper than those of the Soviet Union. The standard of living of the Chinese people is not known how many times higher than that of the Soviet people, and everything in China is ahead of the Soviet Union. In China and in the Soviet Union, we are all fighting for the cause of the emancipation of the proletariat, so why don't I stay in China and enjoy the fruits of socialist spiritual and material civilization while fighting for the liberation of all mankind? ”

Finally, after more than four months of study at the Far East Fleet Teaching School of the People's Liberation Army, 53,824 of the more than 76,000 prisoners of war of the Soviet Pacific Fleet renounced their Soviet nationality and joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army and became glorious Chinese naval soldiers.

Under the absolute leadership of China, the Far East Fleet, the largest naval fleet of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, was established with the naval personnel of the former Soviet Pacific Fleet, who had joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army after education and reform, as the technical backbone, and on the basis of naval officers and men from the East China Sea Fleet, the North Sea Fleet, and the South China Sea Fleet of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.

The Far East Fleet, the largest and youngest member of the Chinese Navy, has conducted one-on-one or one-to-two mutual education and mutual learning with the officers and men of the Chinese Navy, who have joined the Soviet Union, carried forward the military masters, discussed the tactical thinking of some navies, and launched a large-scale military training campaign at sea. It has further enhanced the Chinese People's Navy's understanding of the sea and its strategic and tactical awareness, and has brought closer the relationship between the vast number of commanders and fighters of "China and the Soviet Union." At the same time, it also further promoted the "national" consciousness and "national" consciousness of the transformation from former Soviet prisoners of war to PLA officers and soldiers.

The results of the grafting of the strategic and tactical thinking of the Chinese and Soviet navies have been fruitful. It has greatly enhanced the maritime awareness of the Chinese nation, enriched the maritime strategy and tactical thinking and tactics of the Chinese People's Navy, and also overcome some dull and dogmatic tactics in the Soviet naval tactics. It is of great guiding significance to ensure the fulfillment of the tasks entrusted to the Chinese People's Navy by the state.

These officers and men of the former Soviet Pacific Fleet, who joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army, are also racing against the clock to learn Chinese in order to integrate into Chinese society as soon as possible. These comrades of the former Soviet Union have a relatively high level of education, with a university education of 36,7%, and in addition to studying with their Chinese comrades in their usual work, they also study Chinese Chinese three times a week for 2 to 4 hours each time. They start with literacy and pinyin, and learn to use words to form sentences and compose. After 8 months of study, most of them can recognize 1,000-2,000 Chinese characters, and 80% of them can read newspapers, write simple letters and impressions, and communicate in Chinese for daily life and work. And their "homework" was also corrected by the Chinese officers and soldiers working together one by one to correct typos.

Malinosovsky, a Russian lieutenant of the Chinese Navy who graduated from the Chinese Department of the Eastern University in Moscow, said excitedly in standard Mandarin: "I used to study Chinese in the Soviet Union for eight years, and I did not make as much progress as I did in these eight months. Chinese songs became the favorite songs of the former Soviet officers and men of the new Far East Fleet.

By order of the Central Military Commission, the Far Eastern Naval Academy of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy was established on the basis of the former Soviet Naval Ship School in Vladivostok. This is the largest comprehensive surname university of the Chinese Navy, which has become another cradle of the Chinese People's Navy, and has trained tens of thousands of qualified and high-quality naval talents in various fields for China to become the first maritime power in the future.
