李源潮会见“日本遗孤”

Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao has met with a group of war-displaced Japanese orphans who were raised by Chinese families after the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

中国国家副主席李源潮会见了在日本侵华战争后由中国人抚养长大的日本遗孤代表团。

日本遗孤(遗华日侨)，是指1945年日本战败投降后，日本侵略者撤退和遣返期间，遗弃在中国并被中国人抚养长大的日本孤儿，常用Japanese orphan/ Japanese "left-behind orphan"/Japanese war orphan表示。

李源潮说，中日近代以来经历了日本军国主义(Japanese militarism)侵华的历史悲剧，战后中国人民把数以千计的日本遗孤抚养成人，展现了博大胸怀，日本遗孤也积极促进两国友好(work actively to promote friendship between the two countries)。今年是中国人民抗日战争(Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression)暨胜利70周年，中方愿在中日四个政治文件基础上，本着以史为鉴、面向未来精神(in the spirit of taking history as a mirror and facing up to the future)，推动中日关系改善发展。

日本遗孤表示，日本是祖国，中国是故乡(Japan is the motherland, but China is the hometown.)。衷心希望日中世代友好，愿终身为此努力。
