Names:

Nie Rongzhen

In the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the Eighth Route Army under the command of General Nie Rongzhen rescued two little Japanese girls. To send them back home, General Nie personally wrote a letter and assigned people to carry them in bamboo baskets during the 170-km journey till they were taken to the Japanese army station safely. One of the girls, Mihoko, came back to Beijing to meet Nie in 1980.

Abe no Nakamaro

Abe no Nakamaro, a scholar, administrator, and waka poet of the Nara period, came to China in 717 during the Tang Dynasty (AD618-907) and passed the civil service examination. He rose to the position of Governor-General, a post he held for six years until 767. He is perhaps best known for the famous poem on the intense longing for his home in Nara. He stayed in China for life, and his monument can still be found in Xiangqing Park in Xi'an, capital of Northwest China's Shaanxi Province.

Buddhist Monk Jian Zhen

Monk Jian Zhen (AD688-763) of the Tang Dynasty was well versed in literature, arts, medicine and architecture. In 743 two Japanese monks studying Buddhism in China traveled especially to Yangzhou to invite Jian Zhen for missionary work in Japan on the request of the Japanese government After some preparation, Jian Zhen, along with some of his disciples, left for Japan by sea. They made six attempts in 10 years to cross the East China Sea, but all them failed. In 753, when he was 66, he made the sixth attempt and finally succeeded, and his dream of preaching Buddhism in Japan came true.
