A group of 54 Japanese citizens have paid a visit to the graves of their adoptive Chinese parents near Harbin, the capital of northeast China&`&s Heilongjiang Province.
From 1931, the Japanese government offered incentives to its people to migrate to China&`&s northeastern provinces, which were illegally occupied for another decade.
The orphans, who are now above 70 years of age, were abandoned by their biological parents during the hasty retreat at the end of the Second World War in 1945.
More than 4,000 Japanese children stayed and were taken in and raised by the local Chinese people who spent many years suffering at the hands of the waifs&`& biological parents.
Most of the children relocated to Japan after the two countries normalized relations in 1972.
Ikeda Sumie, director general of a Tokyo support group for the Japanese returned from China, said all of the adoptive parents treated the children kindly; and visiting the graves is a way of paying tribute to their own saviors.
The delegation arrived in China only a few weeks before the 70th anniversary of the end of the war.

China will probably introduce an overall two-child policy in one or two years, as the top population authority said the government would keep fine-tuning birth rules to ensure a sustainable and balanced population growth.
Senior demographers expect the relaxation of the family planning policy in 2013 helped lay a solid foundation for future adjustments to the birth rules. The policy allows couples with one spouse being an only child to have a second child.
The number of couples who qualify is around 11 million, with almost 70 percent of them born after 1980.
Largely due to the policy relaxation, China had almost 17 million new births last year, 500,000 more than the previous year. Experts expect a bigger increase this year.
The experts said more adjustments are required to address a major demographic challenge facing the nation, including problems in the population structure, particularly rapid aging, which affect economic growth.
By the end of last year, China had 916 million working-age people, between the age of 16 and 60, a decline of 4 million from the previous year, and the third decline in a row.

Beijing will move some of its city administration out of the city center to the eastern suburbs, as part of the capital&`&s contribution to the national Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integrated development plan.
The decision to build a new municipal subsidiary administrative center in Tongzhou District, around 40 minutes-drive from the city center, is one of several moves to ease "urban ills" and follow through on the regional development plan.
While the move has long been anticipated, it was officially announced in a statement from a meeting of the Communist Party of China Beijing Municipal Committee over the weekend.
The statement said remarkable progress will be made on the center in Tongzhou by 2017. The move is also designed to benefit Tongzhou&`&s neighboring areas in Hebei Province and Tianjin Municipality.
The authorities say Tongzhou&`&s development could be a pioneering step in the national plan for coordinated development between Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, helping to create long-term urban planning solutions.
More intercity railway lines between Beijing and areas nearby are under construction.

Chinese doctors have successfully implanted a 3D printed titanium alloy sternum into a woman to replace her tumor-affected breastbone, the first such operation in the country.
The 54-year-old patient surnamed Gu has been recovering without complications since the surgery in late June at the hospital affiliated with the Fourth Military Medical University in Xi&`&an, the capital of Shaanxi Province in northwest China.
The patient was diagnosed with a sternum tumor last year. Typically, when the sternum is removed, a patient&`&s heart will lose its protection, seriously affecting breathing and health.
Doctors at the hospital spent two weeks designing a new sternum for the patient and asked a key laboratory at Northwestern Polytechnic University to print it using 3D technology.
Doctors around the world have increasingly turned to 3D printing. Last month, the technology helped doctors in Shanghai separate three-month-old twin sisters who were conjoined at the hip.

China will use its homegrown Beidou satellite navigation system to track civil flights, in an attempt to avoid air crash disasters.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China said the satellite navigation system will be tested on general aviation first, before it is used to monitor passenger and cargo flights.
The satellite system has navigation, positioning and short message services, and is able to trace aircrafts and aid search and rescue operations.
China launched its first Beidou navigation satellite in 2000 to provide an alternative to foreign navigation systems. The country aimed to launch a total of 35 such orbiters to complete its global network by 2020.
The services currently cover the Asia Pacific region and will be expanded to the whole world when completed.
