汉诺威放映会｜寻找我的日本接生婆 In Search of My Japanese Midwife | A Film Screening

(English Version Below)

播客「故事FM」 的主播寇爱哲在过去十四年里一直在寻找他的接生婆。他的接生婆是个日本人，1940 年来到了当时的伪满洲国，在吉林市桦甸县的一个医院工作。1945 年日本战败时，他们一家四口自杀，把两个孩子也掐死了。

结果接生婆被中国人救起，后来嫁给中国人，留在了东北，成为了一个妇产科医生。她退休后成为一个接生婆，爱哲一家四个堂表姐弟，都由这位日本医生接生。1992 年他们一家人回到日本之后，就此与爱哲老家的邻居失联。

2024 年，寇爱哲往返日本和中国东北七次，寻找她的接生婆，与日本和中国的历史亲历者、家属、老邻居、研究者深度访谈，寻找到大量的档案、资料和照片。本片完整还原了那场战争对包括日本人在内的普通人造成了怎样的悲剧，以及战后的几十年里，普通中国人和普通日本人之间建立了怎样的情谊。

2025 年是第二次世界大战结束 80 周年，故事 FM 出品了一部影像纪录片和一系列声音纪录片，通过呈现一个跌宕起伏的个人命运，来重新理解战争。

2025年8月22日，在汉诺威蓝书屋图书馆，我们将举办《寻找我的日本接生婆》纪录片公开放映。本片的主人公、兼同名声音纪录片的导演寇爱哲将做客蓝书屋，映后将与观众交流。活动免费，需在Eventbrite上报名，报名链接在这里。

In Search of My Japanese Midwife

A Documentary Screening at Blaues Haus Bibliothek

Over the past 14 years, Kou Aizhe, the host of the Chinese podcast Gushi FM (Story FM), has been searching for the midwife who delivered him. She was a Japanese woman who arrived in 1940 in the puppet state of Manchukuo, working at a hospital in Huadian County(桦甸县), Jilin Province.

In 1945, as Japan lost the war, her family of four attempted suicide — she and her husband strangled their two children before taking poison themselves. She was the only one who survived, rescued by local Chinese. She later married a Chinese man and remained in northeast China, becoming a respected obstetrician. After retirement, she worked as a midwife — delivering all four of Aizhe’s cousins.

In 1992, she and her husband returned to Japan. Since then, Aizhe’s family and their neighbors in China lost contact with her.

In 2024, Kou Aizhe traveled between Japan and northeast China seven times, searching the midwife, interviewing Japanese and Chinese survivors, family members, neighbors, and researchers. He unearthed rare archives, photographs, and testimonies that reveal not only the tragic legacy of war for ordinary people — including Japanese civilians — but also the human connections forged between Chinese and Japanese individuals in the decades after the war.

2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. Gushi FM presents a visual documentary and a companion podcast series, re-examining the war through a tumultuous personal story.

On August 22, 2025, Blaues Haus Stiftung will host a public screening of this documentary at our Hannover library. The protagonist of the film and the director of its namesake audio documentaries (podcast series), Kou Aizhe, will attend in person for a post-screening discussion. Admission is free, registration required via Eventbrite.
