Four war-displaced Japanese who were living in China after the World War II have finally arrived home on Monday. The three men and one woman were recognized by the Japanese and Chinese governments as "war orphans" Zhao Ji, 65, Li Fengchao, 65, Liu Guoxin, 66, and Chen Fenglan, 67, will visit Japan; there is no word on if they will stay.
An appointment was made with Liu and his possible half brother in Ibaraki on Wednesday. "I want to hear about my father and myself," said Liu. "I would like to visit my father's grave and Miyagi Prefecture, where my roots are."
Meanwhile, the other three are waiting for potential relatives and acquaintances to contact them.
The only woman of the group, Chen said that she remembers a crystal seal with a monkey drawing that her father left with her Chinese foster father. "That is the only clue I have, and I hope it will lead me to information about my father," said Chen.
Since the project started in 1981, the four are the 38th group of war-displaced Japanese to visit Japan.
