War-displaced Japanese leave for Beijing after search for kin

War-displaced Japanese leave for Beijing after search for kin

NARITA, Japan - Four war-displaced Japanese from China leave for Beijing on Nov. 20 after a one-week search for their relatives resulted in only one of them having being identified. The group consists of a woman, 58-year-old Gu Tiefeng (2nd from R), and three men -- Han Tonglai (2nd from L), 63, Zhang Wanchang (far L), 58, and Ma Fude (far R), 58. Their ages, except that of Han, are estimates as they have no birth certificates. Only Han's relationship to Japanese kin was confirmed among three group members who had interviews with possible relatives. The other two and Ma had blood tests, and are now awaiting the results, which will take months before a final conclusion is drawn.
