In August 2013, Yuko Watanabe, a Japanese researcher of China’s Christian History, visited us in Dalian. My friend and I accompanied her on a short visit to Shenyang and Fushun.

In the afternoon of our first day, we took at Dalian Railway Station the High Speed Train that had started service in December of last year. It took us two hours and ten minutes for the 400 km distance from Dalian to Shenyang North Station, because the train, which ran at 200 km per hour at the beginning of the service, now ran at 300 km per hour from this summer. There was a plan in progress for Shenyang to absorb Tieling in the north and Fushun in the east to become a city of ten million people and the area code of these two satellite cities have already changed to 024. A north entrance of Shenyang North was being developed along with a Lotte World theme park.

On the second day, we visited the hot spring that my friend’s Korean friend had dug in Liaozhong Prefecture in the western suburb of Shenyang. As we dipped ourselves in the hot spring which came out from 2300 to 3000 meters underground, I was asked to find investors who can use this hot spring as health drink or can develop resort houses there. In the afternoon, we went to see Dongguan Church where the Bible was translated for the first time into Korean. We also visited the Xita area of Shenyang where the majority of the people are Korean Chinese and met Wu Ai’en, the former pastor, who was sent to work at the coal mines during the Cultural Revolution. In the evening, we had dinner at a Korean restaurant where we saw a North Korean song and dance show.

On the third day, we had breakfast at a Mac restaurant in Hunnan New District, south of the large Hun River. This area was where most of the sports venues of the Chinese National Games were to be held in two weeks. Five lines of tramway had just been newly built for this event and they were celebrating the first run of the tramway cars on that particular day. We took the broad Shenyang-Fushun Highway which had five lanes in one direction, past Sheng-Fu New Town, to which one of the tramway lines was connected. As soon as we arrived in Fushun, the portrait of Lei Feng, the symbol of the volunteer spirit in China, could be seen everywhere, because he had did his military duty there, as we learned. We first visited the War Crimes Management Center, where Pu Yi and other Chinese people who collaborated with Japan during World War II and Japanese War Crimes were kept. We next tried to visit Yingkelu Church, which had been renamed from a church originally built by the Japanese, but ended up visiting Zhonghelu Church, which we found was a church that absorbed Yingkelu Church when the new church building was completed in 1998. We had s short conversation with Pastor Ma Youpin, who happened to be at the church. Time did not allow us to visit Pingdingshan, where many Chinese were massacred by the Japanese police, or the observation point of the famous Fushun Open-pit Coal Mines.

We tried to return to Shenyang in a hurry, as we also had to stop by the Liaoning Province Special Education College for the Physically Handicapped. We arrived at Shenyang Station from the newly built West Entrance, boarded the High Speed Train, which left Shenyang on time, and arrived in Dalian Station on time. (2013.08.15.)

乘高铁去沈阳和抚顺的一次小旅行 2013

2013年8月，中国基督教史研究家渡边祐子从日本来大连访问。在我和我的朋友的陪同下一同游览了沈阳和抚顺。

第一天下午，在大连火车站乘坐了去年12月份才建成的高铁。刚开始运行时时速是200km，从今年夏天开始时速变为300km。大连~沈阳北400km的距离以前需要4小时，现在只需要2小时10分钟。沈阳市要成为千万人口的大都市，因此把北边的铁岭市和东边的抚顺市合并了。现在已经把这两座卫星城市区号变为和沈阳统一的区号024了。沈阳北站的北出口是新建成的。这里将成为乐天世界，现在正在蓬勃发展中。

第二天上午，朋友的一位韩国朋友在沈阳西郊外的辽中县开发温泉，我们去参观了那里。我们泡在来自地下2300～3000米出来的温泉水中，韩国朋友拜托我帮忙寻找可以投资这周围房地产开发项目和健康饮用水项目的投资者。下午去了有历史意义的东关教会。这里是朝鲜语圣书的诞生地。之后我们又去了西塔教会。西塔是朝鲜族居住人口最多的地区。吴爱恩牧师（以前的牧师）给我们讲述了文化大革命时她们下乡到煤矿工作13年的经历。晚饭后我们去了一家西餐厅，那里有北朝鲜的歌曲和舞蹈表演。

第三天，在浑南开发区吃了早饭，这里是8月末即将开幕的中国全运会的会场集中地，这天正好是5条有轨电车通车日。我们从浑南开发区出发在单向就有五条车道的沈抚公路上向东行驶着。在中途经过的沈抚新区也开通了有轨电车。到了抚顺，在这里随处可见象征着中国志愿者的雷锋的海报。据说他是在这里服兵役的。我们首先去参观了抚顺第一监狱。这里关押过溥仪，与日本合作的中国人，还有很多日本战犯。接下来我们去找迎客路教堂，可是没有找到。到了中和路教堂问了一下才知道，日本人建的教堂在战后改名为迎客路教堂。它是1998年合并之后的教堂。在教堂的入口处偶遇了马佑平牧师，我们就站着说了一会儿话。剩余的时间还不到10分钟，所以没能去上平顶山和抚顺露天矿参观台。

我们着急回沈阳，中途还是去了辽宁省特殊教育师范专科学校。这里是专门为残障人士建立的教育机构。这次我们是从沈阳站新建成的西站口乘坐高铁准时出发，准时到达大连。

高速鉄道で瀋陽と撫順へ小旅行2013

2013年8月に日本から中国のキリスト教史研究者の渡辺祐子さんが大連を訪問されたので、友人と一緒に瀋陽と撫順への小旅行へ案内してきた。

初日は午後大連駅で去年12月にできた高速鉄道に乗り、開設当時は時速200kmであったが、この夏からは時速300kmになり、大連～瀋陽北駅間400kmの所要時間は以前4時間だったが、今回は2時間10分だった。瀋陽市は北の鉄嶺市と東の撫順市を合併して１千万都市を作る計画が進行中で、すでにこれら２衛星都市は瀋陽と同じ電話地区番号024になり、瀋陽北駅に北口が新しくできて、そこにロッテ・ワールドができるなど大発展中だった。

２日目は、午前中に友人の知り合いの韓国人が瀋陽の西郊外の遼中県で温泉を掘り当てたので、そこを見学にいった。地下2300～3000メートルからの温泉水に浸かりながら、その周りの不動産開発と温泉水を健康飲料水とする投資者を探すことを頼まれた。午後は歴史ある東関教会に寄り、ここは朝鮮語聖書を最初に作ったところだ。このあと朝鮮族が多く住んでいる西塔地区の西塔教会に寄り、呉愛恩もと牧師から文化大革命中には炭坑へ下郷されて13年働いた経験などを聞いた。夕食には、北朝鮮の歌と踊りを演出しているレストランへいった。

　３日目は大きな渾河の南にある渾南地区のマクドナルドで朝食を食べ、そこは２週間後に開催される中国全国運動会の会場が集中しているところで、５路線の路面電車ができて「通車」（初めて電車を走らすこと）の日だった。そこから片側５車線ある広い瀋撫道路を東へ向かい、途中の瀋撫新区までは路面電車が通じていた。撫順へ着き、ここは中国のボランティア活動のシンボル・雷鋒の看板にあふれていて、彼はここで兵役を過ごしたという。まず市内にある撫順戦犯管理所へ寄った。溥儀など日本と協力した中国人や大勢の日本人が戦犯として収容されたところだ。次に迎客路教会を探したが見つからず、中和路教会に着いて聞いたら、日本人が建てた教会が戦後に迎客路教会と改称され、それを1998年に合併して新しく教会堂を建てたという。教会入り口で偶然馬佑平牧師にお会いして、立ち話をした。時間が十分でなく、中国人が日本の警察に殺された平頂山や有名な撫順炭坑露天掘り参観台に寄ることはできなかった。

急いで瀋陽に戻り、途中で遼寧省特殊教育師範専科学校という身体障害者用の教育機関へ寄ったあと、この日は瀋陽駅に新しくできた西口から高速鉄道に乗り、時間通りに出発して、時間通りに大連駅へ着いた。

A Trip to Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture of Jilin Province 2012

The Tumen Border Bridge to

North Korea

Towards the end of the 11th year of my stay in Dalian, I went to Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture of Jilin Province that I had yearned to visit for a long time. My friends at the foreigners’ church and I participated in the children’s summer camp to teach English. Our team consisted of four Asians, ten Africans and three Americans (eleven female, five male and one child).

1. Left Dalian by a hired bus in the morning. Visited the orphanage in Fengcheng City, Dandong, and, in the late afternoon, Yalu River Park.

2. Went up along the Yalu River, seeing Shuifeng Dam, the Border Bridge in Ji’an City, Jilin Province, and King Haotai’s stele. Stayed at a hotel in Tonghua City.

3. Passed by Changbai Mountain, where we saw local people getting honey from Chinese linden flowers that were in full bloom. Arrived in Yanji, the capital city of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. Stayed at the church for the Korean Chinese.

4. Rested in the morning. Started to teach English to the children at the retreat facility of the church.

5. Took a bus tour to Hunchun City as we played with the children in the bus. In Hunchun, had lunch at the Korean restaurant owned by a church member. All signboards in Hunchun were written in Chinese, Korean and Russian, but not in English. In the afternoon, stopped by at Xin’an Church, and visited the Quanhe Border Bridge, seeing the Tumen Border Bridge in Tumen City.

6. Played with the children and, in the afternoon, climbed Mao’er Mountain.

7. Sunday. Participated in the worship at the church in Yanji, singing and dancing in front of the worshippers. In the afternoon, moved to Changchun.

8. In Changchun, visited Xiwuma Street Church and Nanhu Park. Moved to Shenyang.

9. In Shenyang, visited Xita Church for the Korean Chinese, Dongguan Church, and Shenyang College for Education for the Disabled. In the afternoon, went back to Dalian.

In the afternoon of the fourth day, the police came to us to inspect our passports. Because a few of us did not carry passports, we were all brought to the police headquarters, but were released by paying 3,000 yuan. They were in doubt to find us teaching the Christian faith to the children, which was illegal, but we only taught English. (2012.07.16.-24.)

吉林省延边朝鲜族自治州之旅 2012
