The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
It was hard to withdraw
The end of the war was at the age of seven.
I am a second-grade primary school student.
It's too bad.
I became to blank out rather than shock.
What happened? What does it mean that Japan loses?
It was a feeling. Anyway, I had not really sunk in yet.
However, I remember that the attitudes of Chinese and Korean people around me changed suddenly.
Especially the change of Korean people verging on the complete transformation.
Some of them suddenly appalled.
Some were acting arrogant with high-handed.
Looking at the Japanese, they have thrown a bamboo spear.
Fortunately, as I was a child, I was never attacked, but I had an unpleasant time very much.
Some of my classmates were beaten with no reason.
My father runs a trading company, and he had employed a Chinese employee to work with him, but some Chinese have told us that give them all the assets of our house.
There were vehicles with a driver in my house, so we were wealthy. However, my father valued Chinese employees.
My father was too to be tried as a war criminal because he was engaged in military-related work, and once he was detained, it was Chinese people who helped my father at that time.
My father's men and those who worked together said that ‘Suzuki is not a bad person, that we will prove’ that they had worked on in various places, so my father was released.
My father was so detained, so it was hard to withdraw from mainland China.
My mother and I led a sister of 4 and 3 years old and walked 120 kilometers from Beijing and Tianjin to the harbor with my luggage.
This was painful.
A person who withdraws can be put into a facility like "camp" many times.
In fact, Chinese officials loot as saying ‘censorships of luggage.’
It is put into such ‘camp’ until going to the port of Tank -, each time a valuable article is deprived.
It is ordered to "come over" and taken to the facility.
Even so, I do not want it, but my mother and two younger sisters and myself were put in a crape facility like a barrack, and it had 2 - 3 days, confinement.
Mercilessly, a cold wind comes in.
Then the baggage is taken, and the valuable article is thoroughly pulled out.
My mother cherished the boots gifts from my father gave.
It was an excellent product made in Europe.
My father will be captive.
My mother thought that she did not want to part with those boots, did I say ‘Shiro, I'm sorry, but please wear this.’ ‘Take this boot and return home.’
Because it cannot be taken by the Chinese if wearing it.
But it's for women with furs.
I silently went and walked on the Chinese mainland.
On the way, sometimes it was stuffed up in a freight train Open Wagon.
It is not like ‘ride’ or ‘to be ridden.’
I'm packed as a package.
A strong male enters so to support it from the bottom as it is to say underlying so that a woman is packed also.
Although it will run only a short distance, you will not have to walk a little mile even though it is slight.
The badness was terrible.
It would have been the worst if it rained.
I think that how could you did not become sick.
On the way, two little younger sisters were often fretful.
It would be so.
120 kilos cannot walk absolutely.
Another younger sister
I think my mother was already gasping.
My younger sister was 3 years old, so my mother had to hold it, and she had more baggage.
I cannot survive unless I take another hand of another younger sister and I am going to whine.
Anyway, ‘Shiro, you are the only man, because your father is interned now, and you do your best’ Is told that ‘Is done the being of" a boy defeated one? ‘was. That's all.
There is no hardship anymore.
Only in being beside oneself with fear, it was desperate.
Finally, I arrived at the harbor and got on an American ship.
It was just before leaving the port that I met with my father, who was released.
Cleared his name of a stigma, my father rushed to the harbor with a car driven by a Chinese car, and I heard that it was just in time for a flight just before departure, but I was exhausted, and my shoulder burden fell.
I seem to have been asleep like mud, so I do not remember it well.
After that, I went out on the ship's deck and saw the ocean.
I remember being surprised when the pale-yellow sea turned into a blue ocean.
China's sea is yellow, like a yellow sea.
I thought that the sea was yellow until then, the honesty and it's fearful when seeing the blue sea to have never seen, too, for the first time
When I arrived at the harbor in Nagasaki, it was the season when cherry blossoms bloomed.
It is a strange cold season in China, Japan is a beautiful spring day.
Looking at the cherry blossoms, how beautiful it is.
I thought that it was heaven here.
This draft continues.
