New York Times: Story of Lost Love Emerges Amid China-Japan Tensions The story of a Chinese veteran’s love for a Japanese woman he met shortly after World War II and his quest nearly 70 years later to learn what happened to her has been widely circulating on Chinese websites in recent days. Mr. Zhou, a political officer in Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese Nationalist Army, was part of the contingent of troops sent to Taiwan in 1945 to accept the surrender of Japanese forces. While there he met a young Japanese teacher, Henmi Sueko, whom he heard playing a piano in a schoolhouse in the city of Hsinchu, where he was stationed. Taiwan had been under Japanese rule since 1895, when it was ceded by the Qing empire following its loss in the first Sino-Japanese War. sinosphere.blogs.nytimes/2014/09/10/story-of-lost-love-emerges-amid-china-japan-tensions/
