At 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, three U.S. imperialist B-29 planes invaded the cloudless sky over Hiroshima, Japan, and dropped the first atomic bomb that massacred innocent civilians. , killed more than 240,000 old and weak women and children!A worker's little girl, Chengzi, lost her parents and younger brother in this disaster, and she herself was traumatized. However, the American executioner in the cloak of a "scientist" tried to further destroy her and use her as a test object for atomic radiation, but she escaped.With a disabled body and a bitter heart, she joined the Japanese people's team fighting for peace, and fought bravely against the US imperialists' establishment of military bases in Japan and rearmament of Japan.She is the "Hiroshima Girl" written by the Soviet writer Kin Roman.

This novel nakedly exposed the vicious conspiracy of the US imperialists to turn Japan into a base of aggression and re-launch the atomic war in the world.To the peace-loving people all over the world, it indicted the crimes of killing and oppression committed by the US imperialists on Japanese soil. It described in detail the hard struggle of the Japanese people who did not want to be slaves. The sympathy and support of people all over the world for the Japanese people who "continue to fight for the sake of the motherland and for peace." From this novel, it can be seen that the author of this book is very familiar with and has deep sympathy for the life and experience of the Japanese people after the war.From the beginning of the story, he guides readers step by step into the fiery struggle of the Japanese people "for the motherland and for peace".

The main characters in the book are the "atom bomb victim" Chengzi, and her young comrades in arms, such as: Yaeko, Daozi, Kanji, Longji, Jinyuan... These members of the Democratic Youth League, they are closely united, secretly Writing, drawing, and printing, as they say: "Our bombs are made of the same paper that is used to print the hundreds and thousands of tabloids that are published all over Japan today. These bullets set fire to the hearts of all honest people. ""They write because they want the Japanese people, and all people, to live a better life in a world where there will be no more wars and no more pikadong (press: the atomic bomb, the same below). "

The road of their arduous struggle is full of thorns.Not only the U.S. imperialist gendarmes and the Japanese police, but also landlords, elders, the "Brotherhood of Clean Hearts" of fascist hooligans, and the Second King who worked for the tiger (note: that is, Japanese Americans, such as Jack Tanaka, the overseer of the factory, Urushigaki of the U.S. Military Medical Service, and Freddie Tianshan of the most insidious counterintelligence team).However, under the leadership of the Japanese Communist Party and the Democratic Youth League, they gritted their teeth and rushed through the difficulties. Finally, they united workers, farmers, fishermen, students, doctors, Taoist priests, and housewives on the peaceful defense line of Kuriyama... and formed a momentum Huge opposition to the expansion of US military bases, troops to defend the peace.Under the "repression" of the US military and the Japanese police, they shed blood and died, "but the defenders of the peaceful defense line held their ground", "reinforcements continued to flow to the peaceful defense line from all over the country... money Supplies, medicines, and other supplies .

Fearing the power of the people, the U.S. Army Command decided not to expand the scope of the base.But the vicious U.S. imperialists were not reconciled to failure. They used the conspiracy of the Japanese-American Freddie who penetrated into the ranks of Japanese youths to wipe out the patriots. Miss Chengzi found out their plot, and in a very dangerous situation, she fought bravely and wittily with this shameless second son to escape, and went to work underground together with her brave comrades.The whole story is full of brave and optimistic emotions. After I came back from Japan's "World Conference on Prohibiting Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs", I read this "Hiroshima Girl" and felt infinitely kind!The images of many characters in the book are vividly presented in front of my eyes: the young Chengzi has become a brave and resourceful warrior through painful experiences and difficult struggles.She said: "How can Xiaolong and Xiaokan believe that those Yankees can make me confess!

... who made me an orphan and a... a cripple?I'd rather let them tear me to pieces before I snort. What a firm stand this is! Her companions, such as Yaeko, Rice, Matsuko, Kanji, Longji... are also energetic people. They are brave and optimistic. The love of the people makes them unite tightly and fight for Japan's independence and freedom. In addition, like Chengzi's uncle, an old farmer who is honest and timid, he began to try to lock Chengzi up and prevent her from going out to participate in the The youth's peace movement finally came to his land because of the claws of U.S. imperialism. With a cane and a wide-brimmed hat hanging on his back, he dragged his heavy steps and joined the defense of peace. The ranks of the defense line.

There is also Gao Jian, the cousin of the landlord’s wife, who is an "atom bomb victim", but he did not hate the American imperialists at first, but was generally desperate and decadent. He said to Chengzi: "It doesn't matter who dropped it, the Americans or The Portuguese...it is human beings who are responsible." "We are both destined to die, and we must live while we can". Yaeko sternly corrected this erroneous view. She said to Chengzi: "The Americans can only be blamed; they made the Pikadong, and they threw it in Japan. But people all over the world are trying to prevent the Hiroshima incident from happening." Fighting over the repetition. And they can do it. The world will not be destroyed." Finally Takami finally "thought it over" and "made a choice", he realized the death of the victims of Hiroshima and Nagashima, It is because of the lack of treatment that the country's money is spent preparing for a new war.He lowered his eyes and told Chengzi: "...the people who instigate this kind of war madness are the Yankees...I want to join those who want to stop all wars, and stand in the ranks of the peaceful defense..."

Juzi is a petty bourgeois intellectual woman, she is enthusiastic and has a sense of justice, but she is not vigilant enough. She does not believe that the American imperialist doctors will inject poisonous phosphorus into Chengzi; Freddie of the team, so that many young people were almost arrested in the siege.In this regard, she is far behind the young worker Jin Yuan! In this book, we can also see very clearly the brutal and criminal acts of the notorious "Atomic Bomb Casualty Investigative Committee" on Hiroshima Hiji Hill.And the U.S. imperialists forced the Japanese people to "donate blood" for their troops who invaded Korea, and the price they paid was almost zero!Through Chengzi's observations, the author: a green silk umbrella, two cups of blood; a red leather purse, three and a half cups of blood; a bottle of whiskey, ten cups of blood; a new Parker 51 fountain pen, sixteen cups of blood !How could this not make Chengzi sweat profusely with anger, and make the young Longji roar in defiance: "Don't give them any blood! Don't give the invaders a drop of blood!"

Through this book, we can also learn about the lives of many Japanese people. They collected ashes and prayed on the bombed ground; ...as well as their daily diet, farming techniques, etc., which are beneficial to our understanding of the Japanese people. The most important thing is that through this book, we deeply know that the Japanese people are fighting indomitably and arduously "for the motherland and for peace" under the cruel oppression and extraction of American imperialism. It is part of the struggle for world peace and deserves the sympathy and support of our 600 million peace-loving people.We must unite closely with the peace-loving people of the world and the Japanese people who are fighting for independence and freedom in a difficult environment, and fight to the end to ban the use of the evil atomic weapons and hydrogen weapons and to safeguard world peace !
