I know you brought some drawings, so could you walk us through your story\u2014starting with your family\u2019s repatriation from Manchuria?<\/p>\n<p><b>Chiba:<\/b> This is the part of Manchuria where we lived, in northeastern China. See the area outlined in red? Doesn\u2019t it look like a bird taking flight? When I was a child, my parents told me, \u201cThis is where we live,\u201d and I thought, \u201cIt looks like a bird in the sky.\u201d We lived around the \u201cleg\u201d of the bird, near Fengtian\u2014now called Shenyang. Although I was born in Tokyo, my parents moved to China for work when I was little, so I grew up there until I was six years old.<\/p>\n<p><b>Seki:<\/b> So you experienced the end of the war at six. That must have changed everything.<\/p>\n<p><b>Chiba:<\/b> We actually had a good life there. My father worked at a printing factory, and we lived in company housing behind high concrete walls\u2014everyone around us was either a colleague or family. But when the war ended, everything changed. Suddenly, \u201cThis is Chinese land now,\u201d we were told. The factory, the houses\u2014everything that was Japanese was taken away or transferred to the Chinese. We had to flee back to Japan, but it wasn\u2019t easy.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"padding-bottom:1rem;\">Memories of Manchuria<\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JqXPOglZPG8?start=918\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 90%;\">Video 15:18 \u2013 &#8220;Tanghulu, the Candy of Manchuria&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Chiba:<\/b> What you see here is tanghulu\u2014a local treat from Manchuria.

I always had a bit of a wanderer\u2019s spirit\u2014despite living in the factory compound, I was always sneaking out to explore the city, even if it meant getting lost.
