Japanese war orphan mourns adoptive parents in NE China
73-year-old Japanese Yohachi Nakajima, a "war orphan" left in China after WWII, takes a truck to find the tomb of his adoptive parents in Mudanjiang City, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, Aug. 10, 2015.
Nakajima went to northeast China's Heilongjiang province in 1942 with his family as members of "the Japanese settlers group" when he was only a one-year-old baby. But in 1945, when the militaristic Japan surrendered at the end of World War II, he was left in China solely. A local Chinese female peasant adopted Nakajima, a child from the former enemy. She treated the orphan who was suffering from dyspepsia.
In 1958, 16-year-old Nakajima returned to Japan, and found his mother and sister. After graduation from a high school in Japan, Nakajima had a chance to have a well-paid job, but he joined a Japan-China friendship association. He wrote an autobiography "Why I Have My Life," which depicts his 13-year life of being a "Japanese-Chinese" in Ning'an County of Heilongjiang. "I grew up in China, for 13 years. It's not easy for my adoptive parents to raise me up. Such love is selfless and I will never forget it. I hope more and more Japanese people could understand Chinese people's enthusiasm and kindness through my book," said Nakajima in an interview. About 3,000 Japanese children were left in China after WWII. (Photo: Xinhua/Wang Kai)

LOL. I know some parents who were critical of their kids' excessive use of internet themselves becoming almost an addict. At times, kids have to rein in their parents' addiction

I have read a lot of such stories.
Given indescribable agony militaristic Japanese left on local Chinese, Chinese treated their sons and daughters with big hearts as opposed to revenge. And they deserve a real apology as opposed to historic denial and deceptive words.
@Nihonjin1051
Yep, my mother doesn't work. Now she has something to do instead of dancing in Dr. Sun Yat-sen Park.LOL. I know some parents who were critical of their kids' excessive use of internet themselves becoming almost an addict. At times, kids have to rein in their parents' addiction
And my father only teaches 2-3 days per week. Guess what he is doing now!
Once I was running in Sun Yat-sen Park in Wuhan at night, I found there were more young people playing than aunties dancing...My guess, they are playing Fight the Landlord online.

Former butler to the Iron Lady at your service in China
Gary Williams, the principle of The British Butler Institute. [Photo/IC]
A butler who once served former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is to bring his impeccable manners from the confines of Westminster to China, chinanews.com reported.
Gary Williams, principal of The British Butler Institute, the sole such body in the world, will offer his service for one day each in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou.
His visit will include the full British butler experience and etiquette training.
The course costs 1,999 yuan ($313) for a limit of three customers on Juhuasuan, e-commerce giant Alibaba's group-buying website.
"Butler service in China is still in its infancy but we have seen a growing demand," Fang Peterson, in charge of The British Butler Institute's business in China, told China Daily.
A woman, surnamed Liao, is an advocate of the service but is thinking more about the next generation.
"I'm considering long-term etiquette training for my child, a week at least, to be more elegant and educated," she said. "My friend and I want to have a mini training class for our children together".
British culture and products have a growing profile in China and have been praised by increasing numbers of Chinese exposed to them through travel or TV shows such as Downton Abbey.
The Chinese are fascinated by Britain's long history and exquisite etiquette that has been refined through the ages. British products of great quality with a royal warrant are sought by elites who can afford them and want more.
"We are optimistic about the China market. China's rising middle class are demanding better services," Peterson said.
But such a growing appetite can't be adequately met due to a shortage of available talents.
"There are few qualified butlers in China," Peterson said, adding that she couldn't find enough talent in Beijing to meet a hotel's demand for three suitable employees.
Apart from the etiquette and schedule management, a good butler need to possess knowledge of wine, maintain expensive glass and silverware and have skills in the garden, kitchen, medical care and many more.
Trainees at the British Butler Institute must complete 192 courses before they qualify and Williams will share some of the course during his visit.
After the three-day whistle-stop tour the service will be open to the Chinese market on the e-commerce website.
Then your very own Jeeves will be just a click away.

Impoverished area in SW China to offer 15 years of free education
English.news.cn 2015-09-09 23:28:22
CHENGDU, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- A poverty-stricken ethnic prefecture in southwest China's Sichuan Province will offer students 15 years of free education from 2016, authorities said Wednesday.
Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture, where many families are grappling with abject poverty, will take the lead with 15 years of free education, from kindergarten through senior high school, according to a meeting held in the province.
In most parts of the country, children receive only nine years of free education.
Liangshan has more than 970,000 students and over 3,000 schools. An official with the prefecture's education bureau revealed that the quality of education, especially preschool education, has been lagged far behind other parts of the country due to poverty and remoteness.
In 2016, the prefecture will raise funds of 2.4 billion yuan (around 390 million U.S. dollars) to build 450 kindergartens at township level and child-care centers in 5,000 villages to improve preschool education, said Lin Shucheng, the party secretary of Liangshan.
Since 2010, Sichuan has allocated more than 13 billion yuan of education funds to the prefecture.

Xinjiang raisins made by drying grapes in clay structures
Local growers in Hami, Northwest China's Xinjiang are busy drying grapes for the production of raisin recently as grapes have entered the harvest season.
The grapes are to be stored in the hollowed-out clay structures for the following months. The hot wind from the Xinjiang deserts will dry them into raisin for better preservation and taste.
