I saw an interview with a Japanese veteran who was conscripted to fight in the IJA. He was captured by the PLA and he thought he was going to be tortured to death. Instead, the PLA treated him well and he eventually went on to fight for the PLA. After the war, he returned to Japan and spent the rest of his life trying to educate the public about Japanese war crimes and campaigning for peace.

Can’t find the link with the interview, but I think it was Hirosumi Kobayashi
