The former Japanese warden
became today's prisoner
At 3 a.m. on July 21, 1950, a special train slowly stopped beside the platform of Fushun Railway Station. A group of Japanese war criminals in yellow military uniforms walked out of the carriage. Under the custody of my fully armed escort officers, they lined up to the long-expanded and renovated Fushun War Criminals Management Office .
This is a group of Japanese war criminals who were deported from the Soviet Union to China, with a total of 969. Among them, there are 2 commanders, 5 division commanders, 14 brigade commanders, 8 corps commanders, 9 chiefs of staff, 32 intelligence directors, 39 brigade commanders, 347 middle and small squad leader, and 195 below the squad leader. The administrative system includes the Chief of General Affairs, Deputy Chief, Senate, Governor, Governor, , Affairs Officer, 44 Consultant, 15 spies, 33 Division Chief, 140 html, department, department, and department, and 3116 gendarmerie.

They knew that their sins were serious and they could not escape the law. What awaits them will be a just judgment!
Their eyes are lying in front of them, and they are lying in the fire in the flames of revenge...
Fushun War Criminals Management Institute was originally a high-level military prison affiliated to the Japanese Kwantung Army. The so-called "high-level" is that because the people who are detained here are all political prisoners, that is, patriotic patriots who resolutely fight against Manchuria and resist Japan. It was founded in 1936 and has a construction area of more than 36,600 square meters.
In early 1950, it was renovated, expanded and renamed the "Fushun War Criminals Management Office" to detain Japanese and puppet war criminals.
Ironically, the "warden" Omura Ninjae, the prison's "warden" back then, was also among the detained war criminals. From the position of the Supreme Emperor in the past, he has fallen sharply and become a prisoner today. Is fate deliberately teasing himself and making an international joke? Or is it "the winner is the king and the loser is the thief"?
When he was imprisoned, he racked his brains and couldn't figure it out. In the later transformation process, he woke up like a dream, and then realized his personal dramatic reversal of fate. In fact, it was all due to the fact that justice and axioms will eventually defeat evil and fallacy, and those who play with fire will burn themselves to death, which is the ultimate ending.
In the battlefield without gunpowder,
engages in a tit-for-tat struggle with Japanese war criminals
These war criminals were detained in the Soviet Boli Detention Center for 5 years. The Soviet prison authorities did not conduct necessary ideological education except assigning them to work hard.
Therefore, among many war criminals, especially senior war criminals at the school level, the confrontational sentiment of refusing to plead guilty is very strong, and the reactionary arrogance is extremely arrogant.
Lieutenant General Shigeru Fujita is a typical example. He never reflected on the heavy disasters and great harm caused to the Chinese people by the Japanese militarist government, and always thought that he was a "jihad" to establish the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle".
He deeply regretted that The Japanese Emperor announced an unconditional surrender, which made him lose the conditions for continuing to fight to be enemies with the Chinese army. What he thought about day and night was that if one day he could return to China alive, he would summon his old subordinates to rebuild the Japanese army and fight against the Chinese army again. This war madman led his famous generals, school-level war criminals out of the prison every morning, and lie on the ground in the yard, bowing to the east, bowing to the east of the yard, and shouting loudly: "Long live the emperor!" "Long live the soul of Yamato!" "Always believe in the spirit of Bushido !"
Shigeru Fujita's subordinates were detained in the war criminal management center, and he had a great influence and appeal among war criminals. He incited war criminals to fight against reform many times, and argued: "My subordinates and I are not war criminals, but prisoners of war. Detaining us is a violation of international law .I ask the Chinese government to repatriate us back immediately and unconditionally! "
Under his leadership, many war criminals followed him to make trouble. The most serious one was Lu Mao Fantai, the former police chief of the Jinzhou Police Department.
One morning, Director Sun Mingzhai was inspecting the prison area. When he walked to the prison area where the school-level war criminals were detained, he heard Lu Mao Fantai waving his fists and shouting at the top of his lungs: "I want freedom! Let me out! I want to go back to China! You let us go, or you will be executed, and you will be killed, and you will be chopped, and you will be fine! However, the Japanese government will not agree to you! "Some war criminals in the prison also cheered, clapped, cheered for him, and applauded.
Faced with the crazy performances of war criminals, Director Sun Mingzhai tried his best to control his emotions and stared at Lu Mao Qiantai with majestic and sharp eyes: "Do you know the serious crimes you committed in China? "
Lu Maofan is too rude: "I am here to help China maintain public order, I am not guilty! "
Director Sun immediately refuted him: "Who invited you to come to China to help maintain public order? You acted as an accomplice and executioner in the bloody suppression of the Chinese people's anti-Manchuria and anti-Japanese war after the Japanese army invaded China! "
Lu Maofan knew that he was too reasonable, but he refused to admit defeat easily and continued to argue: "You are a newly established country after the war and have no right to detain us. You do this in violation of international law, and I will sue you! "
Director Sun suppressed his anger and admonished righteously: "Do you understand international law? Which article in international law stipulates that one country can invade another country at will, and it is legal? You should know that the planners and executors of the war against China, including you war criminals, violate international law! New China is a country where the people are masters of their own country. According to Chinese laws, we have the right to detain you! You war criminals are going to be prosecuted and accused! On behalf of the Chinese government, I would like to warn you: the only way forward before you is to admit your guilt and submit to the law, accept the transformation honestly, and strive to return to China as soon as possible, otherwise..."
1993.6.5, Hokkaido Branch Minister Aokawa Matsushi, led a delegation to visit the site, and was entrusted by Matsue Kiniko to donate 1 million yen to the management office. This solemn warning, this tit-for-tat struggle, and this voice of justice are thunderous, making this war criminals praised as "the indelible role model and hero of Yamato Soul" speechless, his spirit disappeared, and he deeply lowered his rebellious head.
Later Director Sun Mingzhai and other staff repeatedly criticized and educated Fujita Shigeru and Shigeru Mau and many war criminals, and explained it with reason and moved it with emotion, which gave the war criminals a preliminary change in their thinking. Shigeru Fujita also automatically stopped performing the "reserved program" of worshiping the emperor to the east in the morning.
The initial transformation of Fujita Shigeru and Shigeru Mau Mau caused a strong shock among the war criminals.
Implementation of humanitarian treatment for Japanese war criminals
Prime Minister Zhou Enlai was very concerned and attached to the work of transforming Japanese war criminals. In July 1950, he made a clear instruction: "The living standards of Japanese war criminals in custody must be handled according to international practices. Treated according to the original position of the war criminal in detained, it is divided into three levels: small, medium and large stoves, and all of them are provided with fine grain. "
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, our country was in a period of hard work. The staff and their families of the War Criminal Management Office ate sorghum rice , corn flour cake , steamed buns, pickles and cabbage soup every day. Only during festivals can one or two meals of fine grain be eaten, but the food of the War Criminals is high.
In order to respect their national habits, the kitchen cooks worked tirelessly. Don’t be afraid of trouble, and you will adjust it in a variety of ways every day. Toast, steamed buns, flower rolls, bean paste buns, meat-filled buns, sugar cakes, sugar triangle , sugar triangle , will not be the same for a week.
The favorable life treatment given to war criminals fully reflects the revolutionary humanitarian spirit implemented by our government against war criminals and the broad and magnanimous mind of the Chinese nation, and also shows the foresight and strategic vision of transforming Japanese war criminals.
In terms of medical care, in order to implement the spirit of Premier Zhou Enlai's instructions, the Ministry of Health of the Northeast Bureau of the CPC Central Committee at that time dispatched a group of medical personnel with high professional standards from various medical schools to work in the war criminal management office in May and June 1950. There are 26 people in total, accounting for one-fifth of the staff in the institute. In order to grasp the physical condition of the war criminals, physical examinations are conducted regularly in spring and autumn every year. The doctors who serve as chief examinations are temporarily selected from various medical schools and major hospitals. The management office has also established formal outpatient medical records and physical health registration cards for all war criminals, providing reliable guarantees and scientific basis for the health care work of war criminals and the prevention of diseases.
Let us go back to the long river of time, push open the window of memory that has been sealed for a long time, and witness and re-watch the touching shots and stories
nurse Jiao Guizhen, the former chief of the State Council of Manchukuo, who was responsible for nursing Liuzang, the former chief of the General Affairs Office of the State Council of Manchukuo, who suffered from cerebral hemorrhage, until early 1956 when he was paroled from .
One day, nurse Jiao Guizhen walked into the special nursing room 15 minutes in advance to feed Liuzang, the military department. Liuzang, who had difficulty swallowing, suddenly spit the food in her mouth on her face and body. Jiao Guizhen had no complaints about this. She turned her back and wiped the dirt on her face and body clean, and then continued to feed Liuzang the army's army's mouthful, which was so touched that Liuzang the army's eyes were filled with tears.
The Wushu Liuzang was often incontinent due to paralysis and urination. The bed sheets and bedding were often covered with feces and urine, which smelled bad. Jiao Guizhen scrubbed him clean every time and changed into clean sheets, bedding and clothes.
In order to prevent the sick from getting infected with bedsores and skin diseases due to years of bed rest, she helped him turn over and massage dozens of times a day, and often used alcohol and talc powder to wipe the skin all over his body. How inconvenience and embarrassment this was for a young woman who was still unmarried at the time! However, Jiao Guizhen deeply realized that although his work was too hard and aggrieved, it was closely related to the overall situation of transforming Japanese war criminals. It was closely linked to the sound of being hard and difficult. No matter how hard or difficult it was, it must be done well without complaints and must not give up halfway.
Under Jiao Guizhen's patient and meticulous care, although Liu Zang of the Martial Arts Department has been lying on the hospital bed for more than four years, he has been in a red face and has always been in good spirits, and has never had skin diseases such as bedsores. Jiao Guizhen spent more than 1,500 days and nights, how much energy and effort did Jiao Guizhen put in for more than 1,500 days and nights 1
In August 1956, Liu Zang of the Ministry of War returned to China on parole. Jiao Guizhen took a car with a stretcher and escorted him to Tianjin Port. When Liuzang, the military army, told his touching story about Jiao Guizhen's care of him, told him that Liu Zhaozi, who came to pick him up, Jiangzi was deeply moved and hugged Jiao Guizhen and cried loudly. Liu Zang, the Ministry of the Ministry of War, said sincerely: "Thank you to the Chinese government, thank the Chinese people, thank you Doctor Jiao Guizhen! I swear that I will never do anything to the Chinese people in the future!" The remorse education of war criminals has deeply reflected on the war criminals, and the lost conscience and human nature of twisting
songs have been revived and returned to
February 1952, Premier Zhou Enlai once again gave instructions on the work of transforming Japanese war criminals: "The detained Japanese war criminals should be given appropriate remorse education."
Although Premier Zhou didn't have much instruction language, he talked about it, so that all the staff of the institute were clear-headed, and studied and formulated specific methods to educate and transform Japanese war criminals, and recommended them the Japanese version of "Complete Works of Economics", "History of the Development of Japanese Capitalism", " Theory of Imperialism ", "Complete Works of Max and Engels" and other theoretical books. The translation of the management office also specially translated articles such as " on the protracted war " written by Chairman Mao into Japanese for these Japanese war criminals to learn.
After a period of careful study and discussion, many Japanese war criminals were deeply shocked in their hearts and had a great change in their minds. They began to get out of the swamp of fallacies and evil, reflect deeply, and criticize themselves.
Captain Gong Qihong, the first brigade of the 232nd Regiment of the 39th Division of the Kwantung Army, took the initiative to thoroughly confess and confess the crimes committed during the war of aggression against China at the confession meeting.He said with great guilt and a deep pain: "I worship the Emperor since I was a child and believe in Gods and Buddhas. After joining the army, I became a lackey of the Japanese imperialist ruling class. They drove me to the battlefield of invading China. But I think this is a just act of superior nations to save inferior nations, and even treat killing and setting fire as a 'heroic act' of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism?' I often teach soldiers like this: Only by killing more Chinese people is loyalty and righteousness, courage, and the victory of the war can I guarantee the victory of the war."
" In order to train the soldiers' courage to kill, I took prisoners of war even if I took prisoners of war. At the same time, the residents were used as live targets for assassination and shooting, and personally demonstrated, and ordered them to stab dozens of Chinese people to death. In order to test whether the sword is sharp, I held the sword high and killed people. I also took dozens of Chinese people to the hospital for rifting surgery, gave interns human physiology and anatomy classes, or took out the heart, liver, lung and other internal organs to make samples of human organs.
At the end of 1943, I instigated the captain Takao Yamaakana to lead a team to attack a village called Baiyang Temple in rural Hubei Province, burning down the entire village's residence. The room, more than 1,000 people were slaughtered, even the gray-haired old man, the hungry baby and the pregnant woman in Rokka were not spared... Looking back now, it was like a nightmare that shocked me, Zhan Su! Am I still a person? I have lost my human nature and become a wild beast and butcher who kills people without blinking! It was the deception of the Japanese militarist government and a small group of war madmen, Yi Chuan and lured me to embark on the path and abyss of invading China and killing innocent people! "
Miya Qihong spoke in tears for more than 4 hours. Later, he said piously: "I am a war criminal with great sins. Even if I shoot me a hundred times, it will be difficult to cleanse my sins. I ask the Chinese government and the people to give me the most severe legal sanctions! Only in this way can my heart be comforted. Otherwise, in this life, I will always live in the pain of regret and self-blame and cannot extricate myself!"
The war criminals have received profound education again and again in their confession, reporting and exposing their crimes. The long-lost conscience and human nature are gradually reviving and returning!
The miracle of the history of war criminals in China and abroad. Japanese war criminals apologized to the Chinese people. In order to accelerate the transformation of Japanese war criminals, in accordance with the spirit of Premier Zhou Enlai's instructions and the work deployment of the Ministry of Public Security, from February 6 to 26, 1956, the War Criminal Management Office organized 894 war criminals to visit factories, mines, rural areas, nursing homes and kindergartens in Shenyang City and Fushun City in three batches, and learned, and achieved results that exceeded the expected purpose. Therefore, from April 13 to May 11 of the same year, another 306 war criminals were organized, led by Director Chi Wenshan of the Liaoning Provincial Public Security Department, and took a special train north to Harbin and Changchun, and south to visit, visit and study in Anshan, Tianjin, Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, Wuhan and Hangzhou.
On the Chinese land that was ravaged and trampled by the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders in the past, there is a bright vitality everywhere. The young People's Republic has recovered from the trauma of the battle and the desolate ruins, facing the novel, inquiring, surprised and admiring eyes of these war criminals with a new look. The Chinese people with a broad mind, including those who were deeply hurt during the war, accepted their sincere regrets with the unexpected tolerance of war criminals.
In the Northeast Anti-Japanese Martyrs Memorial Hall in Harbin, facing the portrait of martyr Zhao Yiman, the former head of the Police Department of Yanji Police Department Zesong Mengji kneeled down on the ground, apologized to martyr Zhao Yiman and repeatedly asked to execute himself to repay the blood debt!
In Changchun, the Japanese "100" bacteria factory site, the former leader of the 162nd Detachment of the Kwantung Army "731 Bacterial Force", Hideo Mujihara, stood in front of the refining furnace and told the war criminals that he led his personnel to cultivate various types of typhoid bacteria, dysentery and cholera bacteria vaccines, and moved the bacteria vaccines to a large number of mice, causing the plague to spread, endangering the health and life of the Chinese people. On the eve of Japan's surrender, he ordered his subordinates to blow up all the buildings and facilities of the detachment, in an attempt to destroy evidence of crime and escape punishment.
In Yuhuatai, Nanjing, the Japanese war criminals who participated in the massacre reviewed the tragic scene of the " Nanjing Massacre " that shocked the world, burst into tears, and apologized to the Chinese people in tears. The war criminals lined up in unison to bow and observe silently to the 300,000 victims.
In a murder site where Japanese invaders massacred Chinese people in Hangzhou, 14 war criminals unanimously demanded to apologize for their death when they reviewed the crimes of killing innocent Chinese people indiscriminately!
When visiting the Memorial Hall of the "Pingdingshan Massacre" Site of Fushun , the survivor of that year, Ms. Fang Surong , told her personal experience about her escaping from death. After Fang Surong finished talking about this bloody and tears, the war criminals knelt down at Fang Surong's feet, sincerely repented and burst into tears!
Justice trial and leniency,
reflects the dignity of the law and leniency of the Chinese nation in December 1955, Premier Zhou pointed out: "In the handling of Japanese war criminals, one death sentence, nor one life imprisonment, and a very small number of people sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment. The indictment must clarify the basic crimes and only prosecute them after the crime is conclusive. The decision of not prosecuting general crimes is the central government’s decision... In 20 years, we will see that this decision is correct. "
To judge Japanese war criminals, the "Special Military Court of the Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of China" was established in 1956. "The court is located in Heilongjiang Street, Huanggu District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. This is a newly built building with an area of about 2,000 square meters of Chinese classical style, majestic, solemn and spectacular.
After the Supreme People's Procuratorate of the People's Republic of China filed a public prosecution against 36 Japanese war criminals including Liuzang, Ku Haita Tada, Shigeru Mada, and Kikiki Reiki, the Special Military Tribunal of the Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of China from June 9 to June 19, 1956, from July 1 to July 20, 1956, 8 war criminals including Shigeru Fujita in the Japanese military system, and 28 war criminals including Liuzang in the administrative system, in accordance with legal procedures. In the audience seats, more than 500 representatives from all walks of life from provinces, cities and autonomous regions across the country: reporters from major newspapers and radio stations across the country interviewed the entire trial process and the judgment results on the spot, and broadcasted and reported this just trial of great international significance to the world.
During the trial, the prosecutor of the special military court determined that these 36 Japanese war criminals were guilty of crimes such as "war crimes of aggression" and "spy espionage". Japanese war criminals confessed to the various crimes listed in the indictment and the criminal facts listed in the indictment. When he finally stated his opinions, they expressed their willingness to accept the strictest ruling of the court and were willing to repay the blood debts owed to the Chinese people with their lives.
After many trials, the special military court sentenced 36 war criminals including Rokuzo and Shigeru Fujita to 12 years to 20 years in prison respectively.
For another 933 Japanese war criminals, they were exempted from prosecution with approval from the Supreme People's Procuratorate and were leniently dealt with. In accordance with the instructions of Premier Zhou Enlai, he was sent to the Japanese Red Cross Society in three batches by the Chinese Red Cross Society on June 16, July 18 and August 21, 1956 and released and returned to China.
These former Japanese war criminals who are about to return to China to reunite with their relatives regard the Fushun War Criminal Management Office as a "land of rebirth" and call the discipline staff here "teachers". They are impressed by the magnanimous and broad mind of the Chinese people. They are deeply moved by the leniency of the Chinese government and are determined to do their best to promote Japan-China friendship after returning to China!
In view of the fact that Japanese war criminals who are still serving their sentences have performed well and have performed well in the transformation, in March 1964, the Chinese government decided to grant amnesty to all Japanese war criminals who are in custody. At this point, the work of transforming Japanese war criminals has been completed, becoming a magnificent chapter in history that will always occupy an important seat!
On March 16, 1988, Masao Kanazawa, a member of the "China Women's Federation", led his relatives to Fushun War Criminals Management Office to visit
