In 1958, the Japanese government captured a "savage man" with disheveled hair and stains in a deep mountain forest. But strangely, after the Japanese government captured the "savage man", it did not leave behind research, but sent him back to China directly.

In 1958, the Japanese government captured a "savage man" with disheveled face and stains in a deep mountain forest.

What’s strange is that after the Japanese government captured the “savage”, it did not leave behind research, but sent him back to China directly.

When the "Savage" returned to China, Liu Shaoqi actually came to meet him in person.

So, who is this "savage"? What kind of experience did he have in Japan?

was forcibly abducted by the Japanese army

This "savage" is called Liu Lianren . He is an ordinary Chinese citizen born in Gaomi, Shandong.

The autumn of 1944 was the season for sowing wheat on the Jiaolai Plain. After Liu Lianren and his family finished their work in the field, they prepared to go home for lunch.

But at noon, Liu Lianren found that there was still some work left before he finished, so he asked his family to go home first and then go back after he finished it himself.

So, Liu Lianren's wife and son returned home first, leaving only Liu Lianren in the field.

After finishing work, Liu Lianren carried the hoe and prepared to walk home.

Along the way, Liu Lianren hummed a small song, and couldn't help but start to imagine what to eat for lunch today.

, while walking, Liu Lianren felt something was wrong.

The road back to the village was very lively in the past, but now it is extremely deserted and there is no one.

Before Liu Lianren could figure out what was going on, several Japanese and puppet soldiers holding guns suddenly rushed out next to , raising their guns at him.

Liu Lianren was startled and hurriedly threw away the farm tools in his hand. He raised his hands and slowly knelt on the ground, begging the few people in front of him to spare him.

But several Japanese and puppet soldiers ignored Liu Lianren's begging for mercy, and directly tied him up to the train station and forced him to a large warehouse.

After entering, Liu Lianren saw that there were nearly a thousand workers in the warehouse who were forcibly tied up like him.

In the next few days, dozens of workers who were forcibly tied up in the warehouse were added one after another.

Many workers gathered in this warehouse and had no idea what was going on.

In fact, , the Japanese and puppet troops were catching free labor for the Japanese.

In the early 1940s, young and middle-aged people in Japan went to other countries, and there was an extremely shortage of labor force in China.

In order to solve this situation, the Japanese government forcibly arrested young Chinese men in Japan and asked them to be free coolies for themselves.

The Japanese invaded China's land and harmed the Chinese people, but now they still have to leave their hometowns and become slaves for them.

The laborer in the warehouse learned that he was going to be sent to Japan and worked hard for the Japanese, and immediately cried out.

At this moment, a migrant worker took advantage of the Japanese and Japanese puppet troops next to him and planned to take the opportunity to run out.

But unexpectedly, it was discovered by the Japanese army.

Seeing this, the Japanese army immediately raised their guns and shot at the migrant worker. After a few gunshots, the migrant worker fell to the ground and blood continued to flow.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army walked up and stabbed the migrant worker with a bayonet, cursing at the same time.

This made Liu Lianren and other workers present feel very scared, worried that they would end like this.

But even so, it did not change Liu Lianren's idea of ​​running away.

When it was evening, Liu Lianren and several other migrant workers discussed how to escape. But when they arrived at the warehouse door, they found several Japanese soldiers holding bayonets standing outside the door.

had no choice but to go back to the warehouse.

6 days later, the Japanese army opened the door to the warehouse, and forced more than 800 workers inside to the train, fainting from Dagang Pier in Qingdao .

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army used bayonets to drive more than 800 workers to the ship, and threw them into the bottom of the ship as "captive soldiers" and transported them to Japan.

After drifting on the sea for six or seven days, the ship arrived in Hokkaido, Japan. After the Japanese army drove them off the ship, they forced them to walk for a day and a night and came to a mine.

Immediately afterwards, the Japanese army divided these workers into several groups and took them to different places to work.

Liu Lianren and more than 200 other workers were taken to a place of "Showa Mining Institute" to work.

It was November at this time, and the temperature in Hokkaido area was very cold, and even the trees were frozen and cracked.

It is in such weather that Liu Lianren and others were wearing very thin clothes in and doing tiring work.

Liu Lianren and other workers need to work for 16 hours every day to complete the task of pulling 80 trucks of coal. And those who have not completed the task are not allowed to eat.

After finishing the work, the Japanese army threw them a bag of semolina as their food.

The hungry workers found some wild vegetables, leaves, bark or wood chips from the nearby mountains and put them in the pot, then poured in sesame flour, and boiled into a pot of porridge. Each person drinks a bowl and it will be a meal for the whole day. After drinking

, the Japanese forced them to work again.

But such a bowl of porridge cannot support them in continuing such heavy work. Some people are too hungry and actually run to the trash can to pick up things to eat, and some even chew on the bark directly with their bark.

Under such heavy work, many people have fainted from hunger. Seeing this, the Japanese picked up a whip and whipped it hard on the laborer.

But the workers were so hungry that they had no strength, so how could they resist the Japanese's beatings? Seeing this, the Japanese took them to an open place and directly pulled out their guns to get rid of them.

When it was evening, more than 200 people crowded in a temporary wooden shed, without any quilts or beds.

The cold wind blew, and Liu Lianren could only hug each other and keep warm with others.

Due to long-term work, many people suffer from various diseases due to malnutrition, and some people even die inexplicably.

The Japanese were unwilling to treat them, so they threw these sick people into a big pit and let them die.

The original more than 200 people have become 80 people under the various tortures of the Japanese.

The days in the mine were a nightmare for Liu Lianren who was unwilling to recall. Until many years later, he would still tremble all over and feel very scared.

"Savage" in the deep mountains

Liu Lianren, who could not bear this kind of life, discussed with several workers with good relationships about how to escape from here.

After Liu Lianren and four other workers discussed the countermeasures, they ran out of the airway of the coal mine toilet. After

waited out, several people ran forward desperately, fearing that they would be caught by the Japanese again.

But because they were not familiar with the terrain here, the Japanese quickly caught several people and returned to the mine.

To punish them, The Japanese locked them in a small dark room and didn't give them food for three days.

Three days later, the Japanese took them to other workers and whipped them hard with a whip.

But even so, Liu Lianren still didn't give up on the idea of ​​running away. He wanted to go home and see his relatives.

Finally, on July 31, 1945, Liu Lianren and four other workers finally escaped after great hardships.

While escaping, several people were worried about being discovered by the Japanese, so they could only run to the deep mountains to hide.

After the Japanese learned that Liu Lianren and others had escaped, they sent people to carry out rounds of mountain search operations.

In order not to be discovered by the Japanese, Liu Lianren can only come to different places to rest and try not to move during the day.

However, Liu Lianren's four coworkers were caught by the Japanese one after another because of accidental care, leaving him alone hiding in the mountains.

There are many birds and beasts in the dense deep forest, but it is difficult for Liu Lianren to catch it because there is no tool.

helpless, he could only dig some tree roots and wild leeks and as his own food.

But in winter, Liu Lianren had to worry about his survival.

When he escaped, was wearing only a thin summer jacket, and the temperature had reached sub-zero, and heavy snow fell in the sky.

In order to keep warm, Liu Lianren dug a cave in a hidden place.

The long and cold winter almost made Liu Lianren faint. But whenever he thinks of his relatives far away in his hometown, he has the courage to continue to live.

Finally waited until winter passed, and Liu Lianren found a lot of wild vegetables and wild fruits in the wild. In addition, he also dug a very huge cave to facilitate his living and hiding in winter.

Live alone in such a lonely deep mountains and forests, with neither clothes to avoid the cold nor anyone communicated with him.

More importantly, Liu Lianren also faces attacks from some animals in the deep forest.

Once, when Liu Lianren climbed onto the tree to pick wild fruits, a python as thick as a bowl was looking at him on his head.

The python spitted a long snake letter and looked at him. Liu Lianren was so scared that he fell directly from the tree.

Seeing this, the python also climbed down from the tree and wrapped around Liu Lianren.

Just when Liu Lianren thought he would die, he found that the python just glanced at him and left without hurting him.

In such a harsh environment, Liu Lianren still insisted on it. He believed that he would see his family again sooner or later.

Just like that, Liu Lianren spent a full thirteen years in the deep mountains.

In the past thirteen years, Liu Lianren has met three Japanese people who came to the mountain to pick wild fruits. After seeing Liu Lianren, they screamed and fled quickly.

Liu Lianren felt very surprised about this. He walked to the river and looked at it, and then he realized that he looked no different from a savage.

Looking at his own appearance, Liu Lianren couldn't help but collapse and burst into tears.

On February 8, 1958, a Japanese man was hunting in the mountains and found Liu Lianren's existence and immediately called the police.

After receiving the call, the police immediately came to the deep mountains and took Liu Lianren, who was unkempt and covered in disheveled faces back to the police station for interrogation.

But due to the different languages ​​of both sides, the Japanese police couldn't ask anything at all.

Finally, Japanese police judged Liu Lianren as "illegal invasion" based on his stained outfit. After

, after media reports, the news that the Japanese police arrested the "savage" in Hokkaido was soon published in the newspaper.

Many people regard this matter as a chat after cooking.

and After seeing this report, a Chinese worker who lived in Japan immediately concluded that this "savage" was his worker who escaped more than ten years ago.

So, he immediately reported the news to the Tokyo Overseas Chinese Association and the Chinese Captive Martyrs' Consolation Committee.

Then, they quickly found out that the arrested "savage" was Liu Lianren, a Chinese worker who was captured by the Japanese army.

At the same time, the investigation also proved that Liu Lianren was forcibly assigned by the Japanese to carry out heavy labor in the mine.

After finding out the truth, Japanese media reported the entire process of the Liu Lianren incident.

When facing the media interview, Liu Lianren said everything he had encountered over the years.

, and he also asked the Japanese authorities to send themselves back to China immediately and compensate him for his mental losses over the years.

However, the Japanese government also ignored Liu Lianren's protests. Not only did it deny the fact that the Japanese army forcibly abducted Chinese workers, but it even held the suspicion of " illegal entry into " and "illegal stay" on Liu Lianren.

Liu Lianren's experience has also attracted great attention from the Chinese government and people.

Under the double condemnation of the Chinese people and the world public opinion, the Japanese Prime Minister publicly stated that he would find a way to send Liu Lianren back to China.

Reunion of relatives

On April 15, 1958, Liu Lianren, who had been away from home for 14 years, finally met his family who had been separated for many years.

The family hugged their heads and cried bitterly, telling their longing for each other.

Not long after Liu Lianren came back, Liu Shaoqi personally met him and asked about his physical condition and whether there were any difficulties in his family life.

When Liu Shaoqi said, Liu Lianren couldn't help crying.

Seeing this, Liu Shaoqi held his hand tightly and said, "It's okay, just go home."

After returning home, Liu Lianren decided to prosecute the Japanese government, asking them to give an explanation to themselves and those compatriots who died in Japan in vain.

However, for decades, the Japanese government has ignored Liu Lianren and has not even recognized the suffering Liu Lianren suffered in the war of aggression against China.

Liu Lianren went to Japan five times to seek justice, but each time it ended in failure.

Time comes in the 21st century, and the old man Liu Lianren has long passed away, but the Japanese government still does not apologize to them.

Before he passed away, he held his son Liu Huanxin's hand tightly and said, "You must fight the lawsuit and win."

And Liu Lianren's son has always kept in mind his father's words and has never stopped accusing the Japanese government.

Finally on July 21, 2001, Liu Huanxin achieved the final victory.

At this moment, he held his father's portrait and cried and said, "Dad, we won, they apologized, you can finally feel at ease."
