不是親生卻用一生守護 日本遺孤的中國母親讓世界破防【旺報 Want daily】@旺報Wantdaily

After the war ended in 1945, more than 4,000 Japanese children were left behind in China, becoming a silent yet heavy chapter in history. Sumie Ikeda was one of them. At ten months old, she was left in Northeast China and adopted by a Chinese couple. Though not related by blood, they gave her her entire life; her adoptive mother sold popsicles to support her education. As an adult, Ikeda embarked on a journey to find her biological parents, rising from an ordinary person bewildered by her origins to become the chairperson of the Japan-China Friendship Association, advocating for the rights of more orphans. Now in her eighties, she still chokes up when she speaks of her adoptive mother. That single word, "Mama," transcends national borders and hatred, leaving only the purest humanity and love. #ChineseAdoptiveMotherSoldPopsToSupportMySchool #ForeignHomeland #JapaneseWarOrphan #SumieIkeda #XuMing
