Tianshui Association
Tianshui Association (Japanese: 天水会, pronounced in Japanese "Tensui Kai" and in Chinese "Tianshui Hui") is a mutual assistance association in Japan of the 300 Japanese railway engineers who worked under forced labor for the construction of the Tianshui-Lanzhou Railway, Gansu province, China. After the end of the Second Sino-Japanese War, around 930 Japanese former South Manchuria Railway engineers and their family members were not repatriated to Japan and instead sent to Tianshui, Gansu Province by the Republic of China government, to aide construction of the Tianshui-Lanzhou section (354 km) of the Longhai Railway.
