The story also starts from the Anti-Japanese War . In 1937, Japan officially launched an unjust war of aggression against China. Regarding this war, not only international opposition, but also many voices of opposition in Japan. A special organization was formed on the battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japan, this organization is called " Japan Anti-War League ".

The League was established by Kazuo Sugimoto of the Japanese Railways, he had seen on the battlefield. The Japanese soldiers brutally slaughtered the Chinese people and were later captured by the Eighth Route Army. experienced the Eighth Route Army’s preferential prisoner policy. This made him finally recognize the ugly face of the Japanese war of aggression. applied for the formation of an anti-war alliance.

Before he came to China, the Japanese government instilled their belief in war: they were fighting for the honor of the Great Japanese Empire.It is to fight for the ideal of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle, and it is to fight against the brutal Chinese army. But today, he discovered that the Great Japan Empire he trusted was cruelly trampling on the lives of innocent people. The he believed in was a false excuse for aggression. Compared with the atrocities of the Japanese army, China The army's grievances with virtue made him doubt the meaning of this war.

This unjust war not only plunged the two peoples into a ruthless war, but also made him unable to lift his head in front of his conscience. So took the initiative to apply to join the anti-war alliance. After approval by his superiors, he officially became the "Japanese New Fourth Army" . Together with other compatriots, he fought for "absolutely oppose aggression and unjust wars and insist on peace" .

At that time, Su Yu was the commander of First Division of the New Fourth Army. Hideichi Yamada fought several battles with the first division. Su Yu found that this new Japanese soldier was very good in artillery tactics. After learning, it was discovered that he was an artillery lieutenant in the original Japanese army and had undergone formal military training.

You must know that technical soldiers are very valuable on any battlefield, and Yamada Eiichi has a higher education level than most Chinese soldiers. has him to join the New Fourth Army , and Su Yu called it out. Bao it. In order to give full play to Yamada's advantages, Su Yu asked him to help train recruits in the army, and Yamada readily agreed.

Yamada Hideo is very patient with the recruits of the New Fourth Army, Whether it is the theoretical knowledge learned in the military academy in the past, or the practical knowledge that he has learned on the battlefield, he will give it all. The recruits all learned very solidly under his teaching. provided a powerful military assistance for the war of resistance in our country.

At first, someone would ask him why , as a Japanese, came to teach Chinese soldiers. He said that he also yearned for peace, but the unjust war launched by the Japanese government humiliated him, He couldn't imagine what it would be like if the Chinese soldiers treated his family like the Japanese treated the Chinese people.

What he yearns for is that Chinese children can play with Japanese children, and he can sit and drink tea with his Chinese friends calmly. No one will feel ashamed or angry about it, not like now The swords face each other. He felt that Japan owed China a lot in this war. He was ashamed that he was a member of the Japanese aggressor force, so wanted to make up for his fault, and wanted to atone for his sins by helping China win the victory.

The Chinese soldiers who heard these words were all in awe of him, because they also yearned for the peace and tranquility that Yamada Eiichi was looking forward to. The recruits of the unit are very friendly to Yamada Hideichi, and his reputation among instructors is also very good, so he followed the New Fourth Army to fight the war of resistance against Japan, and then participated in the Liberation War, all the way from the ordinary officer to the artillery. Battalion commander.

During this period, not only trained many skilled artillery soldiers for the New Fourth Army, but also witnessed the birth of of the People’s Republic of China.Although he is not Chinese, the brand of New China has been deeply imprinted in his heart.

However, after the war, they were not accepted by the Japanese government when helped China. The members of the Anti-War League have stayed in China. It was not until 1958 that Sino-Japanese relations eased slightly before they were able to return to their hometown. Yamada Eiichi returned to his homeland, but he could not receive the preferential treatment he deserved, because the right-wing forces in Japan were still dominant at the time, and Yamada’s help to China was a betrayal in their view.

When he returned to China, he was not only forced to be under the surveillance of Japanese spies all the time, but he was also unable to find a stable job. In this case, he missed the time in China even more. Even if he was unaccompanied, even as a prisoner, at least he was well fed and dressed warmly, with like-minded friends around him, instead of spending the long night alone like he does now.
