Lianren Liu (刘连仁, 1913 – September 2, 2000) was a man from Gaomi, Shandong Province in China, who was a war slave in Japan during World War II.
Liu was sent to Japan to work as a slave labor after the Japanese invasion of China during World War II. In July 1945, Liu escaped from a Hokkaido coal mine (Meiji Mining Company) and then lived in the mountains for 13 years before found by locals in February 1958. After being found he realized the war is over and requested his return to China.
In March 1996 Liu and his family sued the Japanese government for compensation as the Meiji Mining Company no longer existed. In a 2001 ruling, the Tokyo District Court upheld his suit in the first instance and ordered the Japanese government to compensate him for approximately US$160,000.[1]
The Japanese government filed an appeal which overturned the previous ruling, citing there is no provision for compensation under international and pre-war Japanese law.[2] The Japanese government claimed that Liu had no proof of forced transport or forced labor.[3]
