After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese government repatriated approximately 3.7 Million Japanese prisoners of war stranded in China, and the repatriation work did not stop even during the War of Liberation. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the remaining 40,000 Japanese expatriates were "returned", which reflected the Chinese people's national character of disregarding past grudges, being magnanimous, and being kind to others. Compiling the history of the repatriation of Japanese prisoners in postwar China, recording the largest population movement in East Asia in modern times, and introducing the content and characteristics of the repatriation of Japanese prisoners in various parts of China will not only help people remember the disasters of the war and learn historical lessons, but will also help to understand the evolution of Sino-Japanese relations in modern times and the contemporary Japanese people's understanding of war responsibilities.
