Lianren Liu (刘连仁, 1913 - sept 2, 2000),as one of many Chinese young men, was kidnaped from his hometown (Gaomi, Shandong Province)and sent to Japan to work as a slave labor during the world war II Japanese invasion of China. In July 1945, Liu escaped from a Hokkaido coal mine (Meiji Mining Company) and then lived in the mountains for 13 years before found in February of 1958 by locals.  After being found and realized the war is over, Liu requested and being sent back to China. Later, Liu and his family sued the Japanese government for compensation (the Meiji Mining Company no longer existed, Liu could not bring suit against it). However, the Japanese government claimed that Liu had no proof of forced transport or forced labor[1].
