When Shimizu Ihitomi, who was in good health, appeared in front of the Japanese women who had worked together in the past, these devastated Japanese women were taken aback. These Japanese women, either in the war, have no home. Either they are extremely neglected at home, and now their bodies are broken and weak, and they have no good fruit to eat when they return home.

After hugging and crying with Shimizu Shitong, these Japanese women also hoped to be taken in by Qing Xiaoyi. Qing Shui Shitong originally thought that this matter was extremely difficult, but after talking to Qing Xiaoyi in fear, Qing Xiaoyi agreed without saying a word.

Of course, this kind of take-in is not for nothing. Qing Shui Shitong bowed to him, and Qing Xiaoyi said: "We are lonely, abandoned and despised, and we are not treated as human beings. Mrs. Qing's willingness to take us in is simply a grace of reconstruction. Regardless of the others, from now on, I, Qing Shui Shitong, will not remarry, but will only serve Mrs. Qing loyally. ”

"As for the other sisters, I will try my best to persuade them to repay their kindness and serve Mrs. Qing."

Qing Xiaoyi was taken aback by Qing Shui Shitong's sudden allegiance. In other words, this kind of loyalty of the Japanese is generally samurai to the daimyo, daimyo to the emperor, and the inferior to the superior. The impact is extremely widespread. Although the Chinese also have a slavery system, they are not so strict. When a slave is freed, he is no different from a commoner.

However, Qing Xiaoyi didn't hurt Qing Shui Shitong's heart well. She also knew that what Qing Shui Shitong said was the truth, if she didn't want Qing Shui Shitong, I was afraid that no one would really want it. So he picked up the kneeling Qing Shui Shitong and said, "It's too much to say that you are loyal or something." However, I really need people to do something for me, so you can stay with me and do things. ”

Qing Shui Shitong responded very respectfully: "Hai! ”

With the help of Shitong Shimizu, Qing Xiaoyi bought a small hospital. It is specially used to receive and treat such as clear water stone pupils. A woman who was deceived by the Japanese upper echelons and bullied and destroyed by American GIs. There is no charge for this treatment, and it is entirely charity.

Moreover, Qing Xiaoyi did not put forward any conditions for this kind of acceptance. Not only are food, clothing, and medicine free, but they are also allowed to stay after these women recover. Of course. The woman who has recovered her health no longer enjoys free food and clothing, and needs to help the doctor.

Soon, the honorific title of Madame Qing spread among the female affairs staff recruited by these foreign-related clubs.

At this time, the comfort system, organized by the Japanese government, had been abolished. There are many reasons for this. First of all, the combat effectiveness of American GIs has declined. Of course, this decline in combat effectiveness does not mean that they are mentally weak, but that American GIs do not like to wear protection when enjoying comfort services. So. The rate of infection is high.

And this proportion of infections alarmed the families of these American GIs in the United States, especially the families of women. So, Mrs. Roosevelt scolded MacArthur -- "Are we boys of the United States openly sick from going in and out on occasions like Japan?" Are you proud of this commander? ”

Therefore, in 1946, the Allied Command demanded that the Japanese government close all comfort stations in Japan. Subsequently, the Japanese government ordered local police stations to comply. He also refused to allow US officers and soldiers to continue to visit comfort facilities. and ordered the dismissal of the comfort women in these comfort stations.

The number of comfort women who have been dismissed is as high as 50,000 or 60,000. These comfort women, who were traumatized physically and mentally, were not compensated in any way. was ruthlessly abandoned. Most people are homeless. And the hospital presided over by Mrs. Qing, whose reputation has spread, has become the only lifeline for these women.

Therefore, these Japanese women, who originally provided comfort services for Americans, as long as they were relatively close to Tokyo, rushed to the charity hospital run by Qing Xiaoyi to ask for help. Of course. There are also many who choose to fend for themselves. These people have no skills, and because the bottom line has been broken, they have lost their footing, and continue to work for American GIs in comfort services outside the comfort station.

It's just a matter of turning from legal to illegal. These women were known to American GIs as "Pan Pan". If a woman is favored by an American GI, she will also be wrapped up and called "An Li". After the closure of the comfort station, many American GIs established long-term relationships with one or more Japanese women in order to vent their needs.

According to later statistics, from 1946 to 1961, about 50,000 American GIs married Japanese women in Japan. There are even more who are not married but maintain a long-term relationship. Of course, these marriages and relationships in Japan are mostly unblessed in the United States. When American GIs left Japan and returned home, most of them dissolved the relationship.

There are very few people who can fulfill their obligation to support their Japanese children, and most of them put on their pants and turn their faces and deny people.

According to later statistics, the total number of mixed-race children born in Japan during this era was as high as 150,000 to 200,000. If the real history continues, the fate of these children will be extremely tragic. Both Americans and Japanese discriminate against these mixed-race people.

The only well-known act of kindness to mixed-race children in later generations is the story of Miki Sawada, the granddaughter of Mitsubishi Zaibatsu founder Yataro Iwasaki, who took in mixed-race children. However, it was not until February 1, 1948, that Miki Sawada opened the Elizabeth Sandas House mixed-race adoption center.

Even so, the adoption of abandoned mixed-race children here has been criticized by locals, many of whom consider mixed-race orphans to be a symbol of the humiliation of Japan's defeat in the war. Even Americans, who have always professed to respect people, believe that Sawada's adoption of these mixed-race children is inciting anti-American sentiment.

All of the mixed-race children who were taken in were ostracized by the Japanese because of the strong opposition from the parents of the middle school students, and the admission and education of these mixed-race children were problematic. If it weren't for the fact that Sawada Miki set up an elementary and middle school in the adoption center, these mixed-race children would not even have the right and opportunity to get an education.

Qing Xiaoyi's hospital also received more than a dozen pregnant Japanese women. Some of these women can determine who the father of the child is, while others cannot be sure at all. This era is not as convenient as the later generations, so you can only choose to give birth. At this time, the only thing that can provide life and medical security for his mother and son is the hospital opened by Qing Xiaoyi.

From August 1945, when the Americans began to occupy Japan, to the present. It's been more than 10 months. Many mixed-race children are ripe. And there are not a few people who are born prematurely for various reasons. In the hospital presided over by Qing Xiaoyi, several mixed-race children were also born. And can often pick up abandoned mixed-race babies at the door of the hospital.

Qing Xiaoyi is all taken in, and there is no discrimination. Such a move made the Japanese women who received free treatment and food and clothing from Qing Xiaoyi grateful, and this is the only place willing to take them in when they are abandoned by everyone. This is the only one.

Although the Japanese are ruthless in their bones, they also have a strict hierarchy of loyalty. Many women who received treatment from Qing Xiaoyi and gradually recovered their bodies swore allegiance to Qing Xiaoyi like Qing Shui Shitong. Qing Xiaoyi accepted them one by one, although she didn't come to gather power.

But after a few months of good deeds, there were dozens of available women around me. These women obviously took their oath of allegiance to Qing Xiaoyi seriously, although they were reluctant to leave after their bodies recovered. Although Qing Xiaoyi spent the rest of her life's money, she spent peace of mind. However, I also know the truth of self-reliance. After discussing with Yu Sheng, he paid for the purchase of a textile factory that was closed due to a shortage of raw materials and the separation of workers.

The Japanese textile industry was actually quite strong before the war, at least much stronger than China. It is also possible to produce textile machines in-house. At this time, Japan's economic system collapsed, and textile machines were sold almost exclusively for scrap iron. Land prices are also extremely cheap.

These women taken in by Qing Xiaoyi. The level of education varies. Some went to college, some went to secondary school. More people are still ordinary women, and they come out early to work. There are even more women who have worked as female workers in textile factories. So, some experience.

After Yu Sheng found out, he also felt that this was a good thing. So he invited a few experts from the United States to help Qing Xiaoyi train employees and debug the machine. The textile mill was soon up and running. It was the first new textile factory to open in Japan after the war.

If someone else does it. It might be really difficult. Because the Allies were consciously or unconsciously carrying out an economic blockade against both Germany and Japan. The Americans have even more restrictions on Japan's economic development. However, it still works very well when the rest of his life comes forward.

Cotton could be sent from India in contact with the British, who were still entrenched in India. There was no problem with the production permission to find MacArthur. A small textile factory set up by dozens of women to earn a living will not have much of an impact. As for the market and sales, there is no need to worry at all, and now MacArthur is trying to dissolve the Japanese zaibatsu.

At this juncture, no chaebol dared to jump out and grab business with Qing Xiaoyi. And the wages of workers are even lower and frightening. Many Japanese women who were taken in by Qing Xiaoyi said that they could not be paid when they learned that the profits of the textile factory would be used to support the operation and maintenance of the charity hospital. As long as you take care of the food, you will continue to work voluntarily. The employment contract can be signed for 20 years.

The complexity of people is most evident when they are alone, not when they are alone, but in a team. After this textile factory started running, in just one month, Qing Xiaoyi became the absolute leader of these women. Gratitude is fully translated into leadership.

If the Qingyu Chinese Restaurant is still operated by Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi, and the staff in the Qing Yu Chinese Restaurant still listen to Yu Sheng first and then listen to Qing Xiaoyi, then this place, which was named Qingyu Textile Factory by Qing Xiaoyi, has no influence at all for Yu Sheng.

Unconsciously, Qing Xiaoyi has established a solid and stable team. Even those pregnant women who have just given birth have taken the initiative to ask for work after their bodies have basically recovered. When I had time for the rest of my life, I went to Qing Xiaoyi's textile factory and felt emotional.

The woman who works with her children and takes care of them between work makes the rest of her life quite emotional. Most of these women have been bullied by their fathers, and it is rare for them to be so well cared for in the face of children whose eyes, skin and hair are different colors from their own.

The rest of my life suddenly remembered a well-known movie in later generations - "Human Witness"! The setting of the story, although it takes place decades later, tells the story of a Japanese mother and a mixed-race child.

Although because of the different background of the story, Yu Sheng originally did not list this movie as a short-term shooting plan. However, it now seems that it is not impossible to shoot in advance.

The movie "Human Witness" is adapted from the work "Proof of Human Nature" by Japanese social mystery novel writer Seiichi Morimura. Later, the story was adapted into a film in 1977 and released in Japan on October 8, 1977. It became the second of the top 10 grossing films in Japan in 1977.

And its influence transcends borders and time. Until later generations, it is also a classic among the classics.

The story begins in the elevator of the Royal Hotel in Tokyo, Japan, when a young black American is suddenly stabbed to death. After police investigation, it was found that the real murderer was actually the Japanese mother of this black American young man, Japanese fashion designer Kyoko Yasugi.

It turned out that Jonny's father, Wilshire in 1946 and 1949, had served in the military in Japan. Kyoko Yasugi, who was poor but young and beautiful at the time, lived with the American GI Wilshire in order to make a living, and gave birth to a black boy, Johnny.

However, when Wilshire returned to the United States, the U.S. authorities only allowed the boy Wilshire to follow his father back to the United States. From then on, mother and son were separated.

After Kyoko Yasugi got rid of this relationship with Wilshire, life basically settled down. began to hide the past and work hard. Eventually, he became a famous fashion designer, formed a new family, and gave birth to a son. The husband also became a member of Parliament.

And Wilshire and Kyoko Yasugi have very different fates, and after returning to the United States, his situation is getting worse and worse. Eventually, they were destitute and lived on the streets. Before dying, he told his son Jonny that his mother was Kyoko Yasugi, a Japanese. And, in order to raise money for his son's journey to Japan, he deliberately crashed the car.

Full of hope, Jonny takes the physical evidence of his confession, but a straw hat and a collection of poems, to Japan to find his mother, Kyoko Yasugi. However, his mother, Kyoko Yasugi, did not want Johnny's appearance.

Because Jonny's appearance can prove that he has an unbearable past. Including being insulted by American GIs in turn and marrying Wilshire in order to survive, the media will turn it upside down.

Not to mention that her reputation as a well-known fashion designer will be devastated, and decades of hard work will be ruined. Even her husband's status as a member of parliament will be affected. After all, having such a dishonorable wife is something that these people of high status will never allow. (To be continued.) )
