The authors interviewed 25 Japanese who had been left as orphans in
China at the end of World War II and who had recently returned to Japan
with their Chinese spouses after almost four decades. It was found that
even though they had been raised as Chinese culturally for almost their
entire lives, most of these subjects had retained certain Japanese
personality traits and social behavior from early childhood, and these
characteristics distinguished them from their Chinese counterparts.
