Resource Tycoon Reborn

January 2006 was a busy month, but also a sad month.

On the one hand, Fang Mingyuan was receiving Naoshi Shangguo, and on the other hand, he was also dealing with many domestic affairs of the Fang family. Although the second brother Fang Mingzhen and the third brother Shi Haitao had both graduated from college, it was difficult for them to stand alone.

It was still too early. According to their own ambitions, they were arranged to work in the Tongyi Municipal Government and the Qinxi Provincial Government. This could be regarded as the successors of the Fang family and the Shi family in their official careers, which made Mr. Fang and Shi

Vincent was very happy.

On January 7, Kuwait has been in office for more than 27 years. It has experienced Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, advocates neutrality and non-alignment policies, emphasizes that Kuwait does not align with any international camp, and practices pure Arab nationalism. It has met Fang Mingyuan’s first president many times.

The thirteenth head of state died of illness at the age of seventy-nine. As a friend of many royal families in the Middle East, Fang Mingyuan immediately left Pingchuan for the Middle East to attend his funeral.

Fang Mingyuan stayed in the Middle East for ten days, and had to fly from the Middle East to Japan because of another funeral. On January 18, he participated in the Japanese war of aggression against China and experienced the Jiangning Massacre.

Japanese veteran Toshiro died of illness in a hospital in Kyoto, Japan. Uchi Sayoko, Secretary-General of the Japanese Support Committee for the Trial Implementation of the Toshiro Case, informed him of the news.

Dongshiro is a well-known figure in Japan and abroad, and Fang Mingyuan has met him many times. For a Japanese veteran who participated in the war of aggression against China and experienced the Jiangning Massacre, Fang Mingyuan certainly would not have any

I have a good impression. When Japan surrendered, many Japanese soldiers who invaded China were sent back to Japan without being punished for their crimes due to well-known reasons. This also made many Japanese soldiers

There is no real repentance for his crimes at all.

This is also one of the important reasons why Japan did not liquidate the aggressive war that year like Germany did. And as time went by, by the late 1980s, Japan's right-wing elements became more and more active, and even

It has developed to the point of denying the Jiangning Massacre and denying the war of aggression. It was at this time that Dongshiro, as a veteran who had personally experienced the war of aggression against China and the Jiangning Massacre, stood up and made it public

The diary he wrote at that time, also known as "Higashiro Toshiro's Diary", apologized to the Chinese people and exposed many of the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in the war of aggression against China!

From the late 1980s to the time of his death, Dongshiro came to China in person seven times to apologize to the Chinese people for his crimes, and also told many of the crimes of burning, killing and looting committed by the Japanese army on Chinese soil.

He used practical actions to express his repentance and reflection on his personal participation in the war. Because of his actions, Toshiro aroused great anger from right-wing elements in Japan. From then on, people often questioned, threatened and even

Some threatened him, calling him a "traitor", "a disgrace to the old soldiers", "deserving of death", a "traitor", etc.

There were even descendants of the Japanese soldiers in "Tōshiro's Diary" who took him to court, believing that most of the contents in "Tōshiro's Diary" were fabricated, especially the Jiangning Massacre that did not exist at all]

Killing is a blasphemy against their ancestors. After years of trials, the Tokyo Court of Japan finally ruled against Toshiro - although he provided a lot of evidence to prove that his diary was not nonsense. Although Toshiro told

The Tokyo Court appealed, but it was rejected!

After Fang Mingyuan established a foothold in Japan, he also had contact with Toshiro. There are many materials in the "Jiangning Massacre" movie script that were provided or provided clues by Toshiro. Toshiro was an employee in his hometown of Kyoto.

After he publicly apologized to the Chinese people in the late 1980s, he has been harassed by Japanese right-wing elements, and that lawsuit also involved a lot of energy and money on his part. However, he continued to work every day until his health allowed.

Running around to sell his machine tools. But even Fang Mingyuan cannot publicly support him financially and spiritually. Because of Fang Mingyuan's nationality and because of Fang Mingyuan's long-standing attitude, publicly supporting Dong Shilang will only make him more

Being attacked by those right-wing elements will also make more Japanese people suspect that he accepted the benefits from Fang Mingyuan before he stood up and confessed to the Chinese people.

Therefore, most of the support that Fan Mingyuan gave him was secret and non-financial, but some of it was public. For example, Fan Mingyuan had expressed to Dongshiro several times through Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company or some left-wing media in Japan.

Thank you, thank you for his contribution to the improvement of the script of "Jiangning Massacre". This has also made many Japanese right-wingers fearful. After all, Fang Mingyuan's status is very important nowadays. He is not only a Hollywood celebrity, but also a lot of big companies.

All of them have cooperative relationships with many core large companies in Japan, and have a large number of fans in Japan. More importantly, they have never understood why Fang Mingyuan is unusually sensitive to natural disasters, and this

This point is of special significance to Japan, an island country located in the earthquake zone. The "coincidence" of a series of events such as the Kobe Earthquake, Takarashima Earthquake, Turkey Earthquake, and the Indian Ocean Tsunami has made Japan, which is already generally religious,

How can people not pay attention to it! But Fang Mingyuan also knew very well that everything he did in Japan did have a great effect on himself and the Fang family, but between countries, especially with

The United States is pushing behind the scenes, and the role it can play can only be said to be negligible. The huge inertia of the wheel of the times cannot be changed so easily.

The farewell ceremony for Toshiro's body was held at his home in Kyoto. The ceremony was very simple and was mainly attended by relatives. This method is called a family burial in Japan. Toshiro has five children, all of whom are married and live in various parts of Japan.

, the family gave understanding and support to his father’s act of apology.

Although it was said to be a family funeral, nearly a hundred people attended, and some people with special connections came to attend, such as Li Guohong, the Chinese consul in Japan, Sayoko Uchi, Secretary-General of the Japanese Support Committee for the Trial Implementation of the Toshiro Case, "Chinese People's

War Victim Compensation Claims" Japanese Lawyers Team Leader Oyama Hirokazu and Secretary-General Toshitaka Onodera and others. There are also the Consul General of the Chinese Consulate in Osaka, the Jiangning Municipal Government, the Jiangning Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Jiangning Massacre by the Japanese Invaders, and Japan Support

Wreaths presented by various units and individuals including the Azushiro Case Trial Implementation Committee, the Overseas Chinese in Japan Association for the Promotion of Friendship with Japan, the Japanese National Federation to Commemorate the Jiangning Massacre, the Japan East Railway Union, Hong Kong industrialist Chen Junshi and his wife, etc.

In the courtyard, a portrait of Toshiro hangs in the center of the memorial hall. In front of it are dozens of flower baskets sent by Toshiro's relatives and friends. Toshiro lies peacefully in a wooden coffin behind the flowers.

"The death of Toshi-kun, I'm afraid many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief." Oyama Hiroshi said with a sigh.

Some Japanese media published the news of Higashi Shiro's death in the form of an obituary today. Most of them only had a few sentences. When introducing Higashi Shiro's identity in the article, most of them called him "a former Japanese soldier who testified about the Jiangning Massacre." "The author who exposed the barbaric acts of the former Japanese army"...

Japan's famous right-wing newspaper "Sankei Shimbun" refers to Toshiro as "the former Japanese soldier who published the book on the Jiangning Incident". In the obituary, it was mentioned that Toshiro was sued by his comrades in court and the court ruled against him, but he was dismissed. There is no mention of Toshiro's apology to China. Some radical media even called Toshiro a "traitor"!

Onodera Toshitaka also heaved a long sigh. As Japan's political arena shifted to the right, and as time went by, Japanese veterans who experienced World War II passed away in large numbers. And the Japanese born after the war, under the brainwashing education of the government, had little understanding of those years ago. A war has become less and less guilt-free. People like them are also becoming more and more isolated in Japanese society. They have also experienced the threats and unfair treatment that Toshiro received.

"Having the courage to repent of one's country's crimes is true patriotism; a country with a conscience should face up to history, apologize and make compensation instead of vigorously denying and trying to cover up; only in this way can it be respected by the people of the world. At this point, this is what the Germans do." Hiroshi Oyama said in a deep voice, "But we are now on the opposite path. We are an Asian country after all, but we are in trouble with our neighbors. It's so frustrating. Although we have close economic ties with them, we will always hear their criticism. If this continues, Japan will be completely isolated in Asia."

"Professor Ienaga passed away. Mr. Toshi also passed away. There are fewer and fewer people on our roads." Onodera Toshitaka said distressedly, "Young people simply don't know what their countrymen brought to this land of Asia. How much suffering have they caused. They only remember that they are victims of nuclear weapons, but ignore the heavier suffering they have brought to others! If this continues, how will people in other Asian countries view us?"

"How do they view us? They will only think that militarism has been resurrected in this land!" Hiroshi Oyama said in a deep voice. "Those politicians go to the shrine to worship from time to time, which is constantly irritating our neighbors. ."

"Mr. Onodera, Mr. Oyama!" Nagauchi Sayoko came over solemnly and said, "Something is wrong outside. Many strange young people have appeared. Totaka Shi thinks they are members of the underworld." The residence of Toshiro in his later years. It is a small town in Kyoto with only three to four thousand residents, so unfamiliar faces are quite an eyesore here.

Hiroshi Oyama and Toshitaka Onodera straightened their backs immediately. The two old men in their sixties and seventies stood up and said, "Let's go out and have a look!" The Japanese underworld is huge, and many right-wing elements have close ties with these underworld organizations. This is also a tradition that has existed since before World War I. Dongshiro had many conflicts with right-wing elements in society during his lifetime. After his death, the reason why he had a family-style funeral was to avoid those crazy right-wing elements. , I didn’t want anything to happen at Toshiro’s funeral. I didn’t expect that even so, these guys would still not let go. Nagauchi Sayoko supported the two old people and walked towards the door of the hospital. At the same time, the consul Li Guohong also walked towards the door, and the four The man stood outside the courtyard gate of Toshiro's house and looked around. Sure enough, not far from both ends of the road, there were a dozen strong Japanese men wearing uniform suits on each side.

"What a bunch of scum!" Oyama Hiroshi said bitterly. In the eyes of older Japanese people, the "temperament" of the gang members can be said to be as conspicuous as candlelight in the dark night. So Oyama Hiroshi only glanced at it twice.

It was certain that these people must be members of the underworld. However, there were many underworld organizations in Japan, and he could not tell which organization the other party belonged to.

"Call the police." Li Guohong said in a deep voice. Although there were less than forty people at both ends of the road, considering that many of the people who came to pay homage to Dong Shilang were elderly, if they really wanted to break in, I'm afraid it would still be a long time.

I really can’t stop them. I really want them to disrupt the festival. Not to mention that people may be hurt in the process, but the matter itself will be a scandal if it spreads. The Japanese, like the Chinese, still pay great attention to funerals.

of.

"I'm afraid the police have already..." Oyama Hiroshi sighed. In a small town with a population of less than 4,000, the number of police must be limited, and since these people are here, they will definitely think about the police problem. Or they have already

If they "appease" the small town police, they must have a way to draw the police's attention. Members of these organizations have long been familiar with this method.

Li Guohong looked around. Although he could reveal his identity and block the main entrance, the courtyard wall was not high. There were too many places for these people to enter the courtyard, so blocking the main entrance was of no use. Although it was not possible

Without high hopes, Nagauchi Sayoko still took out her phone and planned to call the police in the small town.

At this time, I saw a convoy of seven or eight vehicles coming from the east side of the road. At the same time, some of those people were answering the phone and greeting everyone, and they retreated to the roadside and disappeared.

Under the attention of the four people, the motorcade drove to the entrance of the courtyard and then stopped. Before the driver got out of the car and opened the door, a young man walked out.

"Fang Jun, why are you here?" Upon seeing him, Nagauchi Sayoko couldn't help shouting. (To be continued...)
