About this ebook
A CASUALTY OF WAR. A WOMAN STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE. A DEEP LONGING FOR HER HOMELAND.
Satou Chieko was to live the dream in Japanese-controlled Manchuria with a new house and an important job for her husband in Yilan, but their world was shattered when war arrived. Chieko and her infant son became trapped as the Japanese tried to flee Manchuria. Not knowing her husband's fate, Chieko decided to do whatever it would take to find a way back to her homeland, Japan.
Chieko's harrowing journey over rugged mountains and her experiences in a harsh refugee camp were followed by years of living in China and through the Cultural Revolution. Finally, after 35 years of being emotionally caught between two countries, Chieko and her son were repatriated to Japan.
Farewell China is the story of one woman's resilience and bravery in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Many Japanese did not make it home, but Chieko did.
