Marginal People of Two Motherlands: The “Abandoned Japanese” and War, Memory, and Gender
[Abstract]

The term “abandoned Japanese” refers to those Japanese left in China for various reasons in the wake of World War II. Most lived in Manchuria, and during the Chinese civil war they experienced life and death situations and many changed their identities to become Chinese. In the 1970s, when Japan and the China restored diplomatic relations, some of the “abandoned Japanese” reclaimed their original identities and returned to Japan, becoming marginal people of “two motherlands.”This article explores the identity of “abandoned Japanese” from the perspectives of war, memory, and gender. The first part of this article analyzes the meaning of war memory itself. The “abandoned Japanese” not only became a pawn in the Cold War era of diplomatic “war” but also their “Manchurian experience” became a site of the search for war responsibility. The second part analyzes their memories of a variety of experiences, including the frustration they felt at the bottom terror of the “Manchurian experience” as they faced life and death situations at the conclusion of the war. Finally, gender differences played an important role in determining their choices about their future plans. It is clear that “abandoned Japanese” as marginal people produced by a particular time and place reflect the tragedy of war and possess complex identities.

War Memories and Colonial Experiences: The Taiwan Diary of Midori Kaihara
[Abstract]
Yu-ru Hung

Diaries kept during wartime employ an everyday, casual style to describe extraordinary events. At the same time, they narrate everyday life under a non-everyday situation. How, then, can we understand the heavy burdens of the socio- political structure under the Japanese colonial rule and wartime mobilization, which will be found in the delicate balance between ordinariness and non-ordinariness in the wartime diary?
This article, through the analysis of a Japanese woman’s diary from 1944 attempts to explore the possibility of a critique from the viewpoint of Japanese imperial history and colonial rule. How the writer of the diary recalls the war and the colonial experience normally depends on her structural “position”, such as gender, political orientation, and generation. First, in regard to gender, how should we evaluate diaries written by Japanese women at home which, in contrast to those written by men on the battlefield and including much information about the war, tend to focus on daily events rather than war itself? Second, from the view of political orientation, what is an appropriate attitude for a student of Taiwanese social history when handling the personal narratives of Japanese imperial rule that were written at home in Taiwan under the colonial rule of Japan? Third, from the view of generation, how should family members approach the diary, or the students of family history interrelate or combine the memory of war and the colonial experience found within it? How should we understand and relocate ourselves between family records and so-called “historical materials,” as well as between politic situations and generations? Through the intricate relations between the diary and surrounding conditions, the writer and the reader, the ruler and the subordinate, the pre-war and the post-war, we will uncover a new style of critique and dialogue between everyday personal life and war.

Never a Man’s War: The Self-Reflections of the Women Soldiers of the New Fourth Army in the War of Resistance against Japan, 1937-45

After the outbreak of the War of Resistance against Japanin July 1937, a large number of educated women left their families to work forthe cause of saving the nation. This essay examinesthe women soldiers of the New Forth Army as a case study, exploring how theydescribed and reflected their political, social, military, and gendered experiences in their reminiscences.
I argue that these women soldiers in their selected memories identify with the ideasof national liberation above women’s liberation, the self subordinating to the revolutionary collective, and the army as a revolutionary family; they try to avoid politically sensitive issues. However, in the context of reinterpretation of revolutionary history in the post-Mao reform era, their writings and publication are significant in redressing the marginalization of women’s history in the Mao era, and in opening up a space for Communist women’s own voices. These women’s writings present the New Fourth Army through a gendered lens. Among various histories of the New Fourth Army, their voices have offered gendered experience in the war, adding a different perspective to that of the male-dominated narrative. Compared with the stereotyped anti-Japanese super- heroinespublicized in the Mao era, these women’s accounts have described more real Communist women, and created different types of revolutionary women, with more self-agency and independence.These women tell their stories as soldiers, wives, and mothers, emphasizing that the war was crueler to women than to men.Although feminist scholars argue that these women soldiers mostly still assumed women’s jobs in the war,the women through their own writings try to confirm the meaning of their lives, stressing that they madethe same contribution to the war as male soldiers. To them, the war was never a man’s cause.

Women and Battlefield First Aid during the Second Sino-Japanese War
[Abstract]

In China, professional nursing started in the late Qing Dynasty when missionaries introduced the profession to the country. In the early days, there were both male nurses and female nurses. In the twentieth century, society considered women to be gentle and caring by nature and suitable for nursing work; therefore, nursing gradually became an ideal occupation for women. When the Second Sino-Japanese War began, due to the shortage of health care professionals, the lack of an established military nursing system, and the idea of division of work by gender, i.e., “a man’s job was to kill the enemy and a woman’s job was to nurse the injured,” the government mobilized female students at the high school level and above to take military nursing courses. Community groups also offered nursing courses for women; assistance in battlefield first aid work also became the main task of many women’s organizations. At the same time, problems stemming from the lack of a nursing system in the military medical system were magnified because of the war. The army nursing system was finally established in 1943, and gradually the military recruited mainly women to be nurses. Due to the interaction of the above factors, men eventually left the nursing field in China, and in the following few decades, nursing became a profession exclusive to women.
