Ikeda Sumie, the director general of a Tokyo-based support group for Japanese returning from China, bows before Chinese foster parents at a ceremony in Harbin, capital of northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, on July 12, 2015. A delegation of 54 Japanese war orphans were visiting the city on a tour to pay tribute to their Chinese adoptive parents who took them in at the end of World War II. Thousands of Japanese children were left behind in China in 1945 when the war was about to end. The children were then taken in and brought up by Chinese families. Most of them returned to Japan after China and Japan normalized relations in 1972. [Photo/Xinhua]
