Description
[Machine Translation] The tragedy that began after the war ended was in Manchuria, where more than 245,000 people lost their lives, more than the number of victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The children who lived in refugee camps at temperatures as low as 20 degrees below zero, with no parents to rely on and no food to eat, huddled together and struggling to survive. Based on true events, this is a story of "life" for children and the adults who watch over them during wartime. Based on "Manchurian Starbursts and Scattered Children's Testaments," "Subchangon in the Battlefield," and "Promise" by Shoichi Masuda, who has written picture books and novels based on his own war experiences (published by Yume-Kobo). The main character of the drama, Eiichi Toda, a lieutenant in the Kwantung Army, is played by Kenichi Matsuyama, who has starred in numerous high-profile films and dramas since his debut in 2001. The heroine, Yukiko Mizuno, an elementary school teacher in the frontier group, is played by Fumi Nikaido, who has won numerous awards in the film industry and is currently in the spotlight. The children Eiichi encounters at the camp are played by Seishiro Kato, who has created a boom as a child actor after appearing in a popular commercial, as well as Mochikane Yamada and Youkou Igarashi, who have appeared in numerous high-profile films. What happened to the Japanese who went to Manchuria with dreams and aspirations that "if you go to Manchuria, you will get land" and "a rich life awaits you"? Surrounded by entertainment and living far from hunger and endurance, here is a timeless masterpiece that should be passed down to us and to the future. The documentary begins with a visit to Changchun, China by Kenichi Matsuyama himself, where he speaks with people who have valuable knowledge of that time.
