Friends of photography serial number

On June 10, the Mihoko family came to Beijing, and Nie Shuai sent his daughter Nie Li to meet them at the airport. After returning home, Nie Li reported to Nie Shuai the touching scene of meeting Mihoko. From July 1 1 to July 13, the Mihoko family visited the Military Museum, Badaling Great Wall, Arts and Crafts Museum, Beijing Zoo and other places, and accepted a banquet hosted by the China-Japan Friendship Association.

On the morning of July 14, Nie Shuai met with Mei Hezi's family in the Xinjiang Hall of the Great Hall of the People. At the invitation of the US, Yoshida Kenzo, then Japanese ambassador to China, also attended the meeting. Sun Pinghua, president of the China-Japan Friendship Association, Chai, Yao and Nie Li, directors of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense, attended the meeting.

10, the scene mentioned at the beginning of this article happened. The photographer captured this touching scene, and this photo won the grand prize in the international photo contest. Nie Shuai said to Mihoko while gesturing, "Nice to meet you and your family. When I saw you, you were still a little girl, only this high. "

After everyone took their seats, they exchanged gifts. Mihoko gave Nie Shuai a lifelike Japanese girl in a kimono. The Japanese name is "humanoid", which is about 50 cm high and covered with a glass cover. It is said that this is the highest gift that the Japanese give to their guests. After Mihoko delivered the gift, a dramatic scene happened. Miyoko's youngest daughter, Liu Meizi, aged 15, suddenly ran to Nie Shuai and gave him a rabbit toy, which made Nie Shuai laugh. Nie Shuai asked that this "humanoid" be sent to the military museum, while the white rabbit was left to his granddaughter Nie Fei to play. Nie Shuai's gift is a picture of three friends of pine, bamboo and plum, which was specially painted for Nie Shuai by Cheng Shifa, a famous painter in China. The painting axis is about two meters high. Nie Li and I held it high for everyone to see. Nie Shuai said to Mei Kongkong: "In the cold winter, only pine trees, bamboo branches and plum blossoms can stand the test and maintain strong vitality. I wish Chinese and Japanese friends can stand the test like pine bamboo and plum blossoms. "

Nie Shuai is very selective about the gifts he gives. At first, he wanted to buy some China silk as a gift. When seeking advice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it is best to send Zhang Nieshuai's photo and sign his name on the back, which is the Japanese favorite. Nie Shuai said that the photo was given to the county magistrate of Miyazaki Prefecture and the mayor of the capital last time, and this time it should be different. We suggested sending a Chinese painting and brought some. Nie Shuai chose "Three Friends in the Cold Year" after reading it, wrote "Sino-Japanese friendship will last forever" with a brush, and signed his name.

Mihoko cherishes this painting very much. After returning home, she hung it in the living room. Because houses in Japan are generally low, it is out of proportion to hang this picture about two meters high. So, she demolished the house, rebuilt it and raised it.

After exchanging gifts, Nie Shuai welcomed Mehoko's visit to China, calling it a "family visit". Mei Hezi went on to speak and thanked Nie Shuai for saving his life 40 years ago. He was invited to visit China this time. She said: "When I came, many Japanese people, especially the old Japanese soldiers who participated in the war of aggression against China, took a message to express their apologies and apologies to the people of China." Nie Shuai said: "The war of aggression against China launched by Japanese militarism has brought great disasters to the Chinese and Japanese people. You are one of them. I received your letter and learned that you had a painful experience after returning to Japan. I am very happy to see you have a happy family this time. It's been 40 years since your business, and it was not until the establishment of diplomatic relations and the continuous development of Sino-Japanese friendship that I was able to find you. Friends in the Japanese press have made great efforts, especially those in Yomiuri Shimbun, and I want to thank them. " Mihoko said, "You are my savior. You saved me, and I have such a happy family today. " Nie Shuai said: "I can't say that either. This is not my personal problem. We did this because the China People's Liberation Army has a glorious humanitarian tradition. In the past, we didn't regard prisoners who laid down their weapons as enemies. Those prisoners who want to stay can join our army, and those who don't want to stay can be repatriated and pay for their travel expenses. We should look ahead, everything is in our future efforts. China and Japan are close neighbors separated by a strip of water, and there is no reason not to be friendly. The people of China and Japan should be friendly from generation to generation. The Japanese nation is a hardworking and brave nation. After the war, Japan's economy developed rapidly and became a developed industrial country in a short time. It should learn from you. " Japanese Ambassador Yoshida said: "General Nie's new contribution to promoting Japan-China friendly relations is of historical significance, and we should learn from you." Nie Shuai finally said, "I am very happy today. I hope to see you again."

Miyoko left with tears in her eyes, holding Nie Shuai's hand and saying, "Please take care. I hope you can visit Japanese cities. " Nie Shuai said: "Thank you. From the map, it's close, but I'm in poor health. I don't have a chance. You will have another chance. "

The whole meeting lasted about 40 minutes and was interviewed by dozens of Chinese and foreign journalists that day.

When I got home, Nie Shuai said to me and Nie Li, "It seems that Miyoko is a hardworking and simple girl, similar to what I expected, and her daughters are lively and lovely. There are so many journalists here today, but I didn't expect this incident to cause such a big sensation, which shows the importance of developing Sino-Japanese friendly relations. "

In the afternoon, the comrades of the Sino-American Friendship Association conveyed the wishes of Nie Shuai's family and asked Nie Shuai to write an inscription for them as a souvenir. Nie Shuai readily agreed to write "Contribute to Sino-Japanese Friendship" for Mihoko and her husband, and "Chinese and Japanese youth should understand the importance of friendship between the two countries, be as close as lips and teeth, and be reconciled from generation to generation" for Mihoko's cousin Kato Dingxiong, and wrote "Hand in Hand".

According to a report in the Yomiuri Shimbun on July 25th, Mihoko published his impressions of visiting China after returning home, saying, "Seeing Nie Shuai this time is like his father, and Nie Li is like his sister. When meeting, he always can't control his feelings and can't help crying. "

1986 and 1989, Mihoko visited China twice with the Japanese-Chinese friendship delegation in the capital. Nie Shuai warmly received Mihoko and all members of the delegation at home, had a cordial conversation with them and encouraged them to make contributions to Sino-Japanese friendship. 1992 May 14, Nie Shuai died. Upon learning this news, Mihoko sent a message of condolence: "I am deeply saddened to learn of the unfortunate death of Your Excellency General Nie Rongzhen. Because of that terrible war, I became an orphan in Chinese mainland. It was General Nie who saved me and made me who I am today. From the day I returned to China to today, I have always regarded General Nie as my spiritual pillar. Suddenly, I am deeply sorry, because it is far away, I can't mourn! " Mihoko also said to Nie Li on the phone: "I really want to come to China to pay homage to Nie Shuai to show my daughter's filial piety. But because my husband has a sudden cerebral thrombosis, he is ill in bed and needs to be taken care of. It's really hard to come out and ask for forgiveness. "

Nie Shuai and Mei Sui jointly weaved a beautiful and moving story in the history of friendship between the Chinese and Japanese peoples, which was widely praised.
