Chiyoko went to Hiroshima and took the same route that the Hikariko is taking now, and Land Rover thought that what she saw along the line was what she was looking at now. Of course, there are some changes. Colorful houses, silver petrochemical complexes, highways, interchangeable bridges, these were not there at that time. There is not even a TV yet, and the movie still fantasizes about cataloging the show in a cannonball! But this undulating green hill and the flickering Seto Inland Sea are always in this position, showing such a silhouette! Why is there no slower train than the Hikari instead of the Shinkansen "Hikari"? Is the kind of passenger car that Chiyoko rides, narrower and shorter, really extinct? You should take that kind of car!

"Mr. Lu." Shizuko Takahashi said immediately when she saw that he had just withdrawn her gaze from the window.

"Huh?"

"You promised it, but you forgot it!" She pouted coquettishly.

"What?"

"Tell the story in the car."

"Hmm, well, yes, but not much!"

At the turn of the spring and summer of 1945, these Chinese laborers were sent back to China by luck. These people have accumulated too much hatred and too much anger abroad, and they love and are loyal to the motherland more than ever. Soon after their return, they sent Song Yuke to find the party, and under the leadership of the party, there was little mobilization, but at the first order, the riot was successful. The puppet army that killed the foreman and the guards, seized the guns, and pulled the team to the liberated areas, where they were distributed to various posts after a period of study and recuperation. Most of them later became the backbone of the factories in the liberated areas. There was also a part of the people who joined the army.

Land Rover joined the army. A few years later, at the time of the Huaihai Campaign, he was already a junior commander in the army. One day, his team was stationed in a small town in Jiangsu Province to recuperate, and his superiors called and said that several comrades-in-arms of the Anti-War League who were going to return to China would pass by his defensive area and asked him to arrange food and lodging. The chief said on the phone: "You are our Japan expert, let's make use of your strengths!" ”

Land Rover Zi really showed his skills, and personally went to the kitchen to make red bean rice, tempura, and borrowed a pancake pan and charcoal fire to make chicken vegetarian roast. And bought two catties of wine.

In total, there were only six Japanese comrades-in-arms, and two escorts. As soon as they met, he recognized the bespectacled "devil comrade" coming. He was much the same as he was five years ago, with a few more crow's feet on his face, which only showed when he was smiling. But he didn't recognize the tiger. After being introduced, Torako learned that his name was Kenji Ito. After settling down and washing their feet, Huzi invited them to a feast. A few Japanese comrades-in-arms went to the dining table to look at the food, and then looked at the rustling pan, and cheered:

"Comrade Company Commander, where did you learn this hand?"

"Japan, Tsubakioka! I worked as a requisitioner there! ”

From here on, the chatter and laughter continued. People asked Huzi about this and that, about what happened to the Chinese workers, and about the situation in Japan at that time. The most detailed one was Kenji Ito, who lived in Tsubakioka and remembered Yoshida Optical Store and Shochiku Cinema. Even when he talked about Aunt Watanabe, he was surprised.

"Which one? Have a daughter named Chiyoko? ”

"That's right, Chiyoko......"

"They're still in Chungang?"

"I went to Hiroshima, and I said that I would go to the countryside after defecting to my uncle."

"Hiroshima?" Kenji Ito stopped talking. The others were silent for a moment.

Huzi let go of the dish for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Comrade Ito, you know Chiyoko, you must also know her brother!" Do you know where he is? ”

"Yes, we were classmates, and we were conscripted into the army at the same time, and later he joined the Anti-War League after he was captured."

"Where is it now? Have you returned home? ”

"Died four years ago!" Ito sighed and said, "Sacrifice in the Taihang Mountains." ”

Others said that Yoshio Watanabe's death had been reported in the tabloids of the anti-war alliance. The Eighth Route Army held a grand memorial service for him.

Torako didn't participate in the conversation for a long time, and Ito saw that he was distracted and dull, and deliberately used a toast to lift his spirits.

Huzi found that he was a little rude, and immediately cheered up and looked for a topic. Joking: "Mr. Ito, I can tell fortunes!" Do you want fortune telling? ”

"Huh?" Ito also found himself out of shape, and said with interest, "Look at palmistry? ”

"Look at palmistry!"

"Then you show me!"

Torako pulled Ito's left hand and looked at it, then at his right hand.

"You've been wounded, probably in the left leg, I'm afraid at the age of twenty-one or twelve!"

The companions asked, "Really?" Is that right? ”

Ito smiled and said, "What's the matter, I just established an atheistic viewpoint, do you want to break it for me again!" ”

"There's nothing mysterious, I ate your packet of candy that night!"

Kenji Ito aimed at his face, recognized it for a long time, and finally remembered. So he was introduced to everyone, and people's interest was violent: toasting, guessing boxing, singing, Japanese twisting Yangge around pancake pancakes, and Huko dancing Awa Dance. I learned it from Aunt Hashimoto, and it is said that it is not like that at all.

The next morning, when Huko sent them on his way, Kenji Ito deliberately walked behind and asked to talk to Land Huko alone, and they stood under an old locust tree.

"Comrade Lu, you know, a woman saved my life."

"I've heard Song Yuke say it, it seems that the one who saved you was the daughter of a Chinese medicine doctor."

"No, he's mistaken. That brave woman is your sister, whose husband was killed by the Japanese army. ”

"That's ......"

"Lu Jun, it's a pity that we each shoulder the responsibility of our own motherland and our own nation, and our lives don't belong to us! I can't repay her kindness. When you see her, apologize for me. I will not forget all this. ”

Kenji Ito hugged Torako's arm and said goodbye to leave. Huzi chased after him again and said, "Comrade, I also ask you for one thing, is it possible for you to meet the people of the Watanabe family when you go back?" ”

"I'm going to do my best to find out, Yoshio Watanabe is my friend, and it's my duty to tell his family about him."

"If I see Chiyoko, you say I've been thinking about her all along!"

Kenji Ito found that the PLA company commander was blushing like a girl, and his voice was unnatural.

"I see. Rest assured, I'll be sure to bring the words. He patted Huzi's chest affectionately, showing heartfelt sympathy.
