Thank you!
Thank you for pointing out my grammatical error. Teru's age is between 24 and 34. Ever since Japan was defeated, GHQ ruled Japan for the time being. But, GHQ is almost same as the allied supreme commander, Douglas MacArthur. Far from reconstructing Japan's aftermath, he didn't even think of it. He wanted Japan to stay weak in order not to oppose against the US again. Yet, it is ironic that the cold war already started between the US and Russia and the proxy war was about to begin at Korean peninsula.MacArthur knew better than to do nothing. Since he wanted to have Japan being shield, GHQ had to help that Japan become strong enough to help the forthcoming Korean war. It was also ironic that since the Korean war truly started in 1950 and Japan received plenty of orders from UN for the war tools excluding weapons, Japan could escape from the one of the poorest country.
Thank you for your correction. Last week, in my hometown, Kagoshima, where I have everyday mentioned, unfortunately encountered the big flood, and some places were destroyed by menace of Nature https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/06/asia/japan-flooding-kumamoto-kagoshima-intl-hnk/index.html Although this is the quite shocking photo, the central Kagoshima city where my parents keep on living continuously from my grandparents did't face any flood. Best regards.
Thank you for your useful corrections. Best regards.
Thank you for your comments. In a Japanese TV news show, presenters are keeping so much distance to sit in the studio. those are looked so much weird. I wonder if they are talking with normal distance after taking TV. Best regards.
Thank you for your effort to read my confusing text. Please see my question.
Thank you for reading my story. The war caused always unusual. This story was My mother's side. Speaking of my father's side, my grandparent had 9 children since they had already abandoned 9 survived after the war. They thought more than half children would die and they also thought the children was the one who had to dedicate the country. But, the after the WWⅡ, the situation changed a lot. Once the emperor announced that Japan lost the war in real voice, people noticed the emperor was a physically human being. After that, people even did protest that people were starving and distribute the rice to the people, in front of the imperial palace. That another aspect. Best regards
Thank you for your message. That was a book, which became a school book in the US. https://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Grove-Yoko-Kawashima-Watkins/dp/0688131158/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=So+Far+From+the+Bamboo+Grove&qid=1594302928&sr=8-1 But, since Korean protested that the book shouldn't be used in American school, that system ended. Your dad was brave. Just after the war, In order for My grandmother not to be been seen lady, she or all Japanese ladies had their hair cut very short or shave and painted mud to their face. That is because not to be seen lady. Otherwise Russian soldiers take them and rape. Because late of the WWⅡ, main Russian soldiers were sent to Europe to conflict to German. Since soldiers in East Russia were not enough, additionally, many prisoners were also sent as Russian soldiers. Best regards
Thank you for your detailed explanation!
Thank you!
Thank you for the correction. The words "insulted women" means rape. That happened in the chaos of Korean peninsula just after the war. In fact, Japanese famous novelist, Itsuki Hiroyuki, confessed that when Japan lost the war, Russian soldiers trespassed into his house and raped his mother just infront of his nose. It is done not only by Russians but also by local Korean men. Because they want to punish Japanese as they were colonized for 36 years under Japan. My grandparent were rich but had everything stolen even house. At the end of war, Japanese people died for the country or even for the emperor. Yet, the justice for beginning of the war was " to release the other asian countries from the European colony". My grandfather or many aged people said so. But I think the purpose of the beginning was to get the oil because Japan was banned to import the oil. Best regards
Oh, I realize that I misunderstood. I should have read the title more carefully. Thank you for your corrections and suggestions!
Thank you for your explanation. I understood the use of "tons". Regarding "Korean" It was not Korean media. Since Korea was colonized by Japan, negative articles could not be written by Media. It was a rumor that people spoke on the street. Best regards
I'm very sorry that I had the mistake to use the word "social security." As you described, I wanted to mean social safety. Best regards.
Thank you for your helpful comments. By using the words "emotional act," I meant the animals' behavior like jumping, bawling, and so on. Best regards.
