True humanity on the grassroots level, after tens of millions fellow countrymen were slaughtered by the invaders, the Chinese people still take in the left behind children of their killers as their own families, this is the true essence of the Chinese nation.

Japan and China recently marked 50 years since normalizing diplomatic ties, on Sept. 29, 1972. For the past half a century, the two countries have maintained a close economic relationship while periodically confronting each other or seeking closer ties politically.

Kohei Yamada, an 85-year-old resident of the town of Atsuma in southern Hokkaido, is a Japanese war orphan who was left behind in China amid the chaos of the end of World War II. He returned to Japan after the two countries normalized ties.

Chinese sould sent these sons and daughter of the bastard invaders and colonizers back to the trash island in the first place, there were many Chinese orphans in China after War with Japan in 1940s need to be saved and were end up homeless. Chinese were just being foolish peasants with the snakes in the narrative.

Even animals don't abandon their children, Japanese during WW2 were worse than animals, their national mentality was so fucked up during that time, every life was expandable for the conquest of foreign lands and expansion of the Japanese empire, be them the subjugated ones', theirselves' or their children's

My father's colleague is one of them, he made some trips back to Japan before but can't find his family there anymore.

We Chinese are more humane. Even after what they did, we never killed their kids

I heard the Chinese have not forgiven Japan because of WW2 crimes against humanity. Koreans think the same way.

Your views?

Chinese and Koreans haven't forgiven Japan's war crimes in WW2 cause Japan never recognized many of those crimes and still honor Class A international war criminals in their war shrine who were responsible for the killings of millions of civilians in China, Korea and other Asian countries, they were tried and executed by the international tribunal after WW2.
If today's Germany still officially honored and worshipped Adolf Hitler in his memorial, I doubut that other European nation would like to forgive Germany
