 Yao Zuoxiang (L), a former Chinese laborer in Japan during World War II, and Li Suzhen, a relative of a deceased Chinese laborer, say goodbye to people seeing them off in Tangshan, north China's Hebei Province, Dec. 14, 2004. As representatives of six Chinese who had been brought to the port of Sakata in Yamagata-ken, Japan, to be forced laborers from 1944 to 1945, Yao and Li left Tangshan on Tuesday for Japan to file a lawsuit at a court in Yamagata-ken against the Japanese government and the related companies for compensation and apology.
