How cruel is a real war? How cruel is a real war?
The answer to this question is only three words: comfort women.
Its cruelty lies not in the flow of blood from an urban pool to a river, not in the short-lived blow to the human body, not in the protracted confrontation between the two sides, but in the cruelty that emerges from the depths of humanity when human beings kill their own kind.
A man of one nation slaughters the lives, rights and dignity of women of another. It is the cruelty that drags people into hell and further into hell, which lasts for more than half a century and continues to perpetuate the collective trauma of an entire people.
Caution: This paper may contain a number of traumatic descriptions, which, although taken from academic journals, do not recommend to people with a lower level of mental suffering to read it.
At the beginning of 1938, a crippled man was walking in a crippled Nanjing street.
He was an employee of a cultural institution in Nanjing, named Li Ke Jin.
Just over a month ago, the Japanese invasion forces took Nanjing, carrying out a brutal massacre and mass rape of women.
Nanking became hell on earth.
Because of his lameness, Li Kyu was not able to escape, but also because of his limp he was directly tortured: the Japanese soldiers who met him along the way insulted him in words and limbs, but did not care to kill him.
There are few pedestrians on the streets, and women are invisible. The houses along Central China Road were essentially burned, bodies were dipped in the waterpit along the road and the air smelled badly.
Japanese troops are burying Nanking citizens alive.
From “Atlas of the Nazis of Nanjing.
In an alley, a dead woman lay naked, her chests were cut off and her dents were black and brown. Her abdomen were pierced with bayonets and her intestines came out…
Leak can’t bear to see it again, and his reports for the next few months are a repetition of this day: Japanese soldiers entered Nanjing City and, in addition to looting, burning, killing and, more importantly, raping women; 11-year-old girls, 50-year-old women, were humiliated and gang rapes killed.

Li Ke, who managed to escape the massacre, documented the tragedy in writing: “Face, the whole group of “Face Girls” have been captured and taken to the Imperial Recreation Department in Shanghai, which is a comfort facility for the enemy’s superiors. They searched women everywhere, in the streets and in the halls, and many of their women were gang-raped, screamed and laughed through the air of the dead city, and sent to my ears and drums, which caused me to tremble, and I wondered whether I was afraid or angry.”
Li’s marks see, it’s just the most painful surface. It is no exaggeration to say that death is the most merciful ending for Nanjing women at this moment.

2. Where are the living women caught? Comfort.
At the beginning of 1938, the Ministry of Military Order of Japan gave a clear directive: “In order to effectively reduce the incidence of rape by Japanese soldiers stationed abroad, in order to reduce the resulting retaliation by the people of the occupying Power against Japanese army patrols, the forces should quickly establish an institution that would allow Japanese soldiers to be fully satisfied with their sexuality while at war. I’m sorry.
Under the auspices and support of the Japanese military, the comfort women system was quickly implemented in Shanghai and Nanjing.
Nanjing, on the one hand, because of its important position in China and, on the other hand, because of the presence of the Japanese army, has become a disaster area for the comfort women system: The Japanese military staff specifically put forward a proposal for the establishment of a Nanjing comfort camp, which was considered and adopted by the Japanese military department.
Throughout the Sino-Japanese War, Nanjing was one of the best cities in which the Japanese army had set up the most comfort centres and implemented the comfort women system.
Scholars have confirmed that, during the eight years of Japanese rule in Nanjing, in addition to the difficulties of accounting for the comfort stations created on an ad hoc basis in the early years of the occupation, the Japanese army has set up more than 40 more than in the longer term in Nanjing.
Since the Japanese entered Nanjing, the women of Nanjing, both old and young, have suffered.
Loading… data on Nanking women being taken into comfort camps.
The Japanese loaded the women on a coal truck from Nanjing and sent them to the village and distributed them to soldiers, a woman for 15-20 people.
The organizers will choose a good place with sunlight around the warehouse or the camp, so that leaves can be laid. The soldiers, on the other hand, took the paper with the captain’s seal and took off their rags and waited for their turn.
This evil lasted for eight full years, until Japan was defeated.

Look closely at the map.
In the past eight years, women in Nanjing and in China as a whole have been involved in the most brutal gears of the war: The war also crushes the bones of men and women, while women face hell before they die.
A captain named Miyamoto sent a letter to his friend on the fourth day of the Japanese invasion of Nanjing. The letter describes in detail the truth about the purgatory of a man near the port of coal in Nanjing:
“In the evening, we were ordered to go to the new comfort camp in the Quarter for consolation. The comfort camp is a simple house made of planks, not far from the port of coal; it contains nearly 300 comfort women, who are undoubtedly the spoils of this victory and the women who were gathered there. By the time we arrived, all of them had been raped, as if a group of cats were lying on the floor, guarding a coal fire, naked and free, just waiting for us to go up. Some of them lost their strength, perhaps because they were running or afraid they were struggling, and each of the soldiers sent out a meal group of women for you, which was their daily rations. When we gather and wait for our departure, more than 80 local women are brought in to fill the positions of some of the restless comfort women. I’m sorry.

These women, who do not even have access to the toilet, sometimes take a piss and are covered in body fluids and their own urine.
Hunger is the simplest means for Japanese to control comfort women.
Women can only eat food under their belly when the Japanese army vents their desire for animals.
Those who lie down will never be able to rise up again; those who are tortured and killed; and those who are left to die of their own destruction.
Alive, lingering like a zombie.
If tortured or mentally disturbed, they are driven to the wilderness and die.
In the case of women who have little difficulty or resistance, the Japanese army starves, and with a knife it cuts off their breasts, cuts off their hands and feet, and even let a wolf dog tear them to pieces, threatening other comfort women.
In this hellhole, the Japanese soldiers lined up for violence against a woman whose stomach was swollen, as if she were pregnant. In the margins of the hazing, an older woman went up and rubbed her stomach, and suddenly the blood came out and went out.
3. Deprivation of names is the second means by which Japanese control comfort women in addition to hunger.
This brutal approach deprives them of their basic human identity and allows them to be named only by number.
The better you look, the closer the number.
More than half a century later, the surviving comfort women remembered the suffering, remembering their “numbers” clearly, saying “I am number one” in a humiliating and hateful tone.
Worse still, the Japanese sometimes even stick a number on the shoulders of comfort women, a symbol that is hard to erase for life.
In comfort stations, women have lost the difference in identity, the difference in personality and all differences, all but one role: to become sexual slaves of the Japanese army.
They have older women, pregnant people, 13-year-olds, college students.
Weak and quiet, wearing a pair of near-sighted glasses is a Central University student, a native Nanjing, living on the way to the state.
When Nanjing fell, she took refuge with her family in the Yoyang refugee camp in order to take care of her seriously ill mother. When order was settled, she and her family returned to her home, where she was robbed and raped by several Japanese soldiers, the nanny was raped and killed, and her mother died of shock. After she was raped by Japanese soldiers, she was taken into a comfort facility.
Soon after, she suffered from torture, a breakdown of her mental condition, and she was scratched and bitten, and the Japanese army opened her up, cut off her breasts and brutally killed her.
Other comfort women don’t even know her full name.
She is a microcosm of women who have been taken into comfort camps. Although we know from history what happened to her, no one knows her original name.
Like other women who had been subjected to atrocities, she had been extinguished by non-retroactive suffering. We can only find out what happened to them, but we cannot restore the life they could have had.
Unlike Xiaobo, 13-year-old Ying was tricked into comforting homes.
The recruiters said that they hired a nanny, but in fact she had been recruited by the Japanese owner of the Tatsuyama Tamapo comfort camp.
This is the second way for Japanese to get comfort women, in addition to taking them directly: by recruiting laundry workers, nannies and women’s workers, to search for the surviving women from the area and put them all in comfort homes.
The Japanese army was working on the Chase in the High Hills comfort camp, and each of the “comfort women” was separated from each other by a cloth. A 13-year-old! He bleeds, hurts so bad, struggles to lift up the Japanese, and the other side takes a bayonet and stabs him in the thigh.
She crawled so hard, she climbed to the door, and a lot of people were watching.
If you think this is the worst of comfort women’s suffering. And you are obviously not ready to see what follows: when humans maim their fellow human beings, they reveal more than that human cruelty and darkness.
In addition to being sex slaves at home, the comfort women of Nanjing were secretly transported to other battlefields in China and abroad.
They have no name and are used as “military supplies”.
Loading…Figure: Women are being transported to the front as “military supplies”.
We can now see a warrant issued by the Minister of Military Affairs of Japan in the same year, which reads as follows: “The Minister of Military Affairs has ordered comfort women to be a military necessity, but not to be numbered, not to be entered, and to suggest, in the long term, that in the future, the secret recruitment of comfort women in the ruling and occupied areas can be carried out quickly. I’m sorry.
This short, cold line of words was created by the blood of a Chinese woman under a military knife.
The comfort women who were forced to leave Nanjing for the countries of South-East Asia, the Pacific and other battlefields in China, after all the humiliation and torture they had endured, became almost alien.
And the comfort women system continues to be implemented in all enemy-occupied areas. Suffering is spreading like a plague.
On December 16, 1937, at Nanjing Train Station, a group of women were escorted by Japanese soldiers with bayonets into a canned vehicle.
The suffocated truck is used for cattle and the floor is full of cow and pig urine. The fate of the women who were forced to enter the ferocious truck is no different from that of the pigs:
Fourteen-year-old Chu was among the women, and the Japanese soldiers let them clean up their own cow and pig urine and then laid some hay.
The door was then closed, aware that Chu was trying to resist, and the Japanese soldiers kicked him with their feet.
It’s so dark, it’s on. Every time a canned car stops, a group of Japanese soldiers enters and rapes and gang rapes them.
When the suffocated truck drove for a long time, Ju finally got out of the car and saw ice hanging on the tree.
It took Chu a long time to know that they were going to the northeast, where they sang “My Home on the Northeast Pine River”.
It was only a year before the song was created in 1936.
From the 1188 to Nanjing massacres, every Chinese was caught in the hell of war and taken to the comfort women on the front lines of war, at the bottom of hell.
As soon as they were put in a comfort camp, Chu ran in a team of Japanese soldiers. They haven’t seen a woman in a long time, and when they see these comfort women, they make them cry like beasts, and then line up to vent on them…
In Nanjing, every comfort woman faces at least 15-20 people a day, and on the front line, everyone faces hundreds of people!
Although the Japanese have made a strict distinction between the “duration of use” and the cost of comfort women, in the military environment, half an hour does not exist.
Every 10 minutes or so, there will be a new number of people, because later people will drag the people in front of them in a hurry. Sometimes the comfort women are not even lying down and are forced to stand up for it.
The fact that the comfort women had been raped more than 100 times a day in their memoirs had been questioned as an exaggeration, but it was a bloody fact that the comfort women who had been sent to the front line had experienced.
Who cares about the limits of their use as substitutes, as they are used only as military replacements?
It’s broken. Naturally, there’s a new replacement.
So, is this the worst place for a comfort woman?
Not yet! There is even darker human purgatory.
Have you ever thought about the question of how many women were involved in the war against Japan and what would happen if the Japanese caught them?
The answer is more tragic than you can imagine.
On the Chinese battlefield, the Japanese army rarely established shelters for women prisoners of war, and the majority of female prisoners were taken to North China, the remote parts of China, the desolate areas and the front lines as comfort women, with the exception of those killed after interrogation.
Why go to the remote and desolate areas or the front? That was to prevent them from fleeing or from contacting the Chinese forces.
In the North China Front, the most common way of dealing with women captured by the Japanese Army was to distribute the women captured by the 8th Road Army to the artillery buildings, each of which had a unit of Japanese soldiers, which became a sex slave for more than 30 soldiers.
What’s next for these women warriors?
We take only the memory of Japanese soldier Shinji Taguchi: “In the front-line positions in Hebei, thousands of captured women are being held, after they have been taken to the positions … Mostly by opening a corner of a dirt-covered warehouse outside the position, and turning it into a comfort room, with a cushion of clothes, blankets, etc., stolen in a sweep, and then a urine basin, which is also stolen in a fight, so that the comfort room will be ready…”
Then the captives were subjected day and night to violence by the soldiers. They were confined naked in a dark room, their voices were not heard, they were not known, and there was only one thing left alive: gang rape.
Unlike the urban comfort centres, where there are fixed locations, DIS are generally not allocated condoms. Yes, Japanese soldiers will also be given condoms in the comfort centres of urban strongholds, not to protect comfort women, but to protect soldiers from sexually transmitted diseases.
As a result, many women who were forced to become comfort women were pregnant on the front line.
However, “as long as they can withstand and become pregnant, they cannot be used, they are dragged outside the trenches, tied to a stake, and used as a target for stabbing for new recruits …”.
When the comfort woman was killed, along with the fetus of a Japanese soldier in her belly, she was buried.
Then the Japanese soldiers waited for the arrival of the female prisoners. Sometimes, waiting too late, they go to the nearby village to sweep and take the girl directly.
How many Chinese women have been killed and buried in secret in Japanese positions in the eight-year war? No one knows exactly.
Blood marks were drawn from fingers on the wall of a dark cannon tower, people were eaten madly by wild dogs, and people were targeted alive with pregnancy …
For these women, death is not the worst. They were dragged by demons half way in pursuit of noble ideals and beliefs and dragged into an unknown, unresponsive hell. They put everything together without seeing the distant future, and they were imprisoned day after day, humiliated and gang-raped in the dark room of the sky, which was enough to crush the will of the strongest.
But there are people who really escaped from here and stood before a court of law for the atrocities committed by the Japanese army.
In June of 1943, the village of Sheep, Shanxi County.
In the course of the sweep, the Japanese troops on the ground dragged the Communists Mandat and four other girls into the positions.
In order to save his life, the traitor denounced Mandarin’s membership.
During the day, she was hung from a tree and tortured, and the Japanese tried to extract from her mouth a list of other communists. At night, like other girls, she was subjected to endless gang rape.
All-Favorite always remembers the cannon tower: the front of the pebbles, the wooden window was covered by a brick, black in it, and she shrunk on the grass lying on the floor …
The Japanese came in and “disturbed” her. The gang rapes and the beatings are made day and night. Later, as soon as she heard the door, she could not help but throw up.
The girl was extremely strong, and her will was legendary: after 21 days of detention, she slipped out of the window and escaped one night while the scavengers were watching her.
In the end, however, she did not go far, and for the second and third time she was taken back to her position.
Japanese anger. In order to “punish” her two previous escapes, the Japanese army began to inflict inhuman torture. First the gang rape, then the slaps, the stools, the tiger stools, hanging on the gills…
On January 28th, 1944, the successively tortured love flower lost consciousness. The Japanese army saw her not waking up for days, thinking she was dead, and threw the already bloody woman into the river next to the village.
The elderly of the same village found the bouquet of love in the frozen river, secretly carrying her back from the river to the home of her loved ones.
At this time, the flower of love has been tormented to an impersonation: Her whole body has been deformed, broken gills and ribs, dislocated arms, neck trapped in the chest, pelvis in her waist, which turned 165 centimeters into 147 centimeters.
She remained in bed for three years and survived. It eventually appeared at the international hearing on post-war reparations in Tokyo, Japan, in 1992. She’s a miracle of life. Evidence of life.
On October 30, 1998, the Japanese Army’s “comfort woman” in mainland China.
Getting into the Tokyo District Court
There are not only Chinese women but also Japanese and Korean women in the comfort camps.
(b) War-sacrifice comfort women recruited by Japanese from the mainland to serve mainly military officers;
(a) Korean girls (mostly virgins) from the Democratic People ‘ s Republic of Korea, serving officers and soldiers;
Most of the women abducted from mainland China were taken to military camps and front lines.
The 18-year-old Korean girl, Park Yong-shin, was deceived from North Korea to Nanjing and sent to a comfort facility by the Japanese authorities under the pretext of recruiting a “maid.”
A photo of the Korean “comfort woman” taken in Nanjing.
Park Yong-Chin was forced by the Japanese boss to “comfort” when he was bleeding under his menstruation. When she tried to refuse, the Japanese soldiers pulled out the bayonet and stabbed her in the neck.
Naked girls were screaming on the ground, Japanese bosses were busy pacifying Japanese soldiers and other comfort women were afraid to come forward.
In a hurry, a Chinese handyman risked his life to take Park Yong-in to a nearby clinic where she was rescued.
But Park Yong-seon did not escape, and her subsequent experience was worse than being stabbed in the neck with a bayonet.
Loading photos of Korean comfort women.
After she was wounded, she was again taken back to the comfort centre.
A few years later, Park Yong-shin was taken to the South-East Asian battlefield by the Japanese military authorities as a “supply of weapons”. Subsequently, they were assigned to Japanese troops in Myanmar and western Yunnan, China.
There, the “comfort” needed was the elite 56th division of the Japanese army.
In May and June 1942, this force invaded western Yunnan Province in China from Myanmar in an attempt to attack Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, and to block the rear of the Chinese National Government.
But by the side of the angry river, they have been resisted by the Chinese military and the Chinese military. They have not been able to cross the angry river.
During this long period of confrontation, the Japanese military authorities, in order to maintain their morale, have drawn from behind a large number of comfort women, the “Land Army”, among them many Japanese, Korean and Chinese women who had been transferred from Nanjing.
Two years later, in the summer, the war turned around: the Chinese army fought against the West Bank, and the 56th division of the Japanese Army fought to the death and the whole army was destroyed in early September.
However, the comfort women are faced not with hope, but with death.
Because the Japanese army treats comfort women in such a way as to kill comfort women at a critical time, then withdraw or commit suicide.
Butchers kill innocent people even when they commit suicide!
In the Pacific, comfort women sleep in trenches. At the end of the evacuation, the lieutenants in charge of them blew a whistle at the entrance to the trenches, but there was no movement inside and he sang Japanese songs, which led to the departure of five or six people, but the women were killed as soon as they came out.
The lieutenant then proceeded to fire wildly into the trenches, and when they were finished, 60 or 70 of the comfort women were killed and fell on the ground.
The Japanese are sending many Korean comfort women to Polonesk, the northernmost part of the island.
On August 10, 1945, the Japanese began to retreat, but the comfort women knew nothing, and when they learned that they had been abandoned, they rushed to the station.
The train left with the Japanese. They chased the train and shouted to take them away, but the Japanese forces ignored it and the train went straight ahead.
They ran to the front of the train, which remained unstoppable; they ran exhausted and fell on the tracks, and the train passed over them, and the train and the tracks were red in blood, and the wheels were covered with blood and bones …
Let us return to the West Bank: where the last group of Japanese soldiers shot and massacred their fellow comfort women and then committed suicide.
But at the gunpoint of the Japanese army, four Korean comfort women managed to escape by miracle and were finally captured by the Chinese army, leaving behind a “classic picture” of the captured comfort women.
One of them was Park Yong-shin, who had lived in Nanjing Lizi Lane 2 for three years and was taken to Mount Phexisson.
The pregnant woman is Park Yong-shin.
On 3 September 1944, four Korean comfort women were rescued by Chinese expedition soldiers in Yunnan Lung Hill, a journalist of the United States Military News Agency, Walter Uller. The figure for pregnant women is Park Yong-seon, who was only 22 years old.
At that time, several months after she became pregnant, her abdomen rose and she was bleeding and her life was in danger under the violent escape route.
The Chinese army took her to the hospital to save her life and took her stillborn.
Park Yong-seon can no longer have children, she has adopted a child from the orphanage and has lived in difficult circumstances to the age of 80 and to the twenty-first century. After years of joint efforts with Japanese scholars, we Nanjing scholars have found this old man in Pyongyang, who has lost his blood and tears.
With her own personal experience, she exposed the crimes of Japanese militarism and complained about the lifelong suffering inflicted on her by the evil comfort women system.

And those who insist on speaking, and those who survive.
On 9 December 1992, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights held an International Hearing of Women Victims of War in Tokyo, Japan, at 63 years of age, as the only woman victim in mainland China — a representative who spoke at the hearing and was exposed to multiple wounds from her origin, attesting to the atrocities committed against the Japanese Army.
Since 1995, as the first victim of the comfort women system in mainland China to prosecute the Japanese Government, Mandarin, along with other women victims, has embarked on a process of defending their rights for more than 20 years.
However, they have not received any compensation or even an apology.
The reality is that, as of 2010, 24 “comfort women” victims in mainland China had filed a lawsuit in four waves with the Japanese government.
Of these, the first three indictments were made by Shanxi “comfort women” survivors and the fourth by Hainan “comfort women” survivors.
But they all end up losing.
Loading… December 8th-12th, 2000, Mandarin.
The legal obstacles faced by the comfort women in the Japanese courts are mainly the principle of the State’s lack of accountability and the limitation of the time limit.
The principle of the State’s lack of accountability was established in Japan’s Myungji Constitution, which stated that the State could not be held responsible for harm caused in the exercise of power, including in war.
In its judgment on China’s war-injury proceedings, the Japanese courts held that the conduct at that time needed to be judged in accordance with the law of the time, and often dismissed the plaintiff’s claim for damages on the grounds that “the post-war compensation action was the result of an act of State power prior to the entry into force of the State Compensation Act and therefore still applied to the principle of State failure to respond”.
The second obstacle for the comfort women victims is the “time limit”.
Because the Japanese courts did not support the plaintiff ‘ s trial of the defendant ‘ s wrongful conduct under Chinese civil law, they advocated the application of Japanese civil law.
However, Article 724 of the Japanese Civil Code provides in its jurisprudence a “time limit” in which the plaintiff’s rights are extinguished after a certain period (20 years).
The Chinese plaintiff ‘ s claims were mostly for injuries suffered 20 years ago and therefore formally exceeded the statute of limitations period.
The Japanese court, while holding high the principle of the State’s lack of accountability, refused to pay any compensation to the Chinese comfort women, subjecting them to the statute of limitations.
The international community cannot afford Japan.
In response to the Japanese issue of “comfort women”, since 1995, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and others have submitted successive reports and advice to the Japanese Government on the resolution of post-war reparations.
The Japanese Government, under very passive circumstances, acknowledged the Japanese Government’s actions in setting up and operating the comfort stations, but they refused to apologize, but simply set up a “Asian Women’s Fund” in an attempt to compensate the “comfort women” who had been injured in the war in the form of civil condolence.
However, victims such as Mandarin refused to accept this “condolation” and asked the Japanese government to officially apologize.
The international community has condemned this, but has failed to promote substantive initiatives.
In 1996, a special report had been adopted at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, stating that the Government of Japan should pay compensation to victims of sexual violence by the Japanese army, formally acknowledge crimes and correct erroneous historical education.
In April 1998, the National Report on Violence against Women was again presented at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, calling on Japan to effectively assume its legal responsibility for providing compensation to the victims, while clarifying Japan’s responsibility for victimization, and criticizing Japan’s practice of setting up a National Fund to avoid government apology.
In 2000, the Women ‘ s International War Criminal Court was held in Tokyo, and the main purpose of the Women ‘ s International War Criminal Court was to receive all kinds of prosecutions for military sexual slavery in Asian countries by Japanese troops, and to test whether Japanese sexual slavery committed war crimes and crimes against humanity under wartime international law. Comfort women victims, such as All-Face, testified in court.
In December 2001, a final judgement was held in The Hague, the Netherlands, in which the International Court of Women Prisoners of War found that Japan had committed crimes against humanity in connection with the forced recruitment of a large number of women as “comfort women” in the Japanese army in several countries and regions of Asia during World War II.
The judgement finally advised the Government of Japan that it must sincerely apologize and compensate the victims, ask for their forgiveness and guarantee that they will not do so in the future.
Unfortunately, as a model court, the decisions of the Tokyo International Court of Women Prisoners of War are not legally binding. But it is the conscience and morality of the international community on the issue of “comfort women”.
Today, 20 years after the Hague verdict, the Japanese Government has still not given the world and the victims a debt of gratitude and compensation for the comfort women, and we cannot stop recording and remembering our fellow sisters who have passed away, and for the sake of the future of our fellow sisters not to be treated like this.

Before she died, she said, “I now insist that the Japanese Government pay for the crime. But I’m old, I’m old, I’m weak.”
Remember Ying? She is the only victim in Nanjing who has publicly admitted to being a comfort woman.
For reasons of Chinese traditional virtues and realities, no Nanjing comfort women have ever come forward to accuse Japanese soldiers of atrocities, until April 2006, when Rey Guiying, inspired by the actions of the Korean comfort woman Park Yong-seon, who went to Nanjing to identify the sites of comfort, decided to publicly testify to the press about the crimes committed during Japan ‘ s aggression against China.
She gave her testimony to historians and donated a bottle of potassium permanganate disinfection powder, which had been given to comfort women for disinfection, as material evidence, as well as specifying the exact address of two of the comfort stations in Nanjing that year.
In the early hours of the winter of 1943, while people were asleep, Le Guiying quietly escaped from the back door of the comfort home.
When she escaped from the comfort centre, she brought the disinfectant medicine from the comfort centre out of the house and kept it in her house, which she had never used. This is her donation of potassium permanganate, which is now in the Chinese “comfort women’s” library of Shanghai Teacher Training University.
I’m loading potassium permanganate from Le Guiying.
In April 2007, a year after the Japanese atrocities in Nanjing were declared, Rei Guiying died of a sudden brain haemorrhage and was 79 years old.
The death of Rey Guiying also means the death of the only comforting woman in Nanjing, the “living witness”.
I was informed of the death of Rey Guiying, who was the victim of the Japanese-named Jiangsu-Yi comfort women’s system.
Old Man Zhou Ying has lost his eyesight, and her son has helped her to contact historians to tell the truth: “The Japanese right wants to hide the truth of history, they can never do it! They have to admit it! Even though Ray’s mother is gone, we’ll follow her will! I’m sorry.
In July 2008, Zhou Ying spent her hard life in her own house.
The comfort women victims will not be spared the passage of time.
At around 045 a.m. on 4 September 2013, the love of the elderly passed away in Shanxi Taiwon’s house, ending a miserable life, 84 years old.
In August 2017, the last “comfort woman” survivor in mainland China who sued the Japanese government died. They ultimately did not wait for any compensation or even an apology.
Yes, no one has so far apologized for their suffering. Those who are involved in harming them do not even feel wrong.
Let us turn the time line back to the beginning of this evil system.
The first time a prostitute had been recruited and a “comfort women’s group” had been recruited to serve the Japanese army in the field for the first time.
In 1932, during the “1-28 incident” in Shanghai, during which the Japanese army created Japan’s “Shanghai ” 1-28 incident ” , Okmura, who was Deputy Chief of Staff of the Japanese “Shanghai dispatch”, encouraged Japanese military morale and prevented Japanese soldiers from committing rape, and, with the support of the Japanese authorities and in cooperation with the Japanese authorities, recruited Japanese women and organized the “comfort women’s group” to come to Shanghai to provide sexual services to Japanese officers fighting in Shanghai.
As a result, “comfort women” emerged as a specific term and system.
Then, as we all know, the Japanese army has massively promoted comfort women’s systems in mainland China, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese women have been devastated, and the harm continues to this day, becoming a scar in national memory that cannot be healed.
In February 1949, after the war, Okamura Ningji admitted in an interview with a journalist on a ship that had returned to Japan: “I was the author of the shameful and outrageous comfort women’s absence. As a deputy chief of staff of the military, after investigating two or three incidents of rape of women in the area during the maritime transitions of Zhao Soo and seven years ago, I had to follow the long-established practice by the Navy of recruiting concubines for prostitutes and apply to the Governor of Nagasaki for a comfort women’s group to call China for sexual services. I’m sorry.
As smart as you are, I’m sure you understand the meaning of the so-called “apology” of Okamura: His apology was never for the Chinese, but rather for the Japanese and Japanese to whom he was returning.
We have yet to hear an apology from the Government of Japan.
That is why we have to keep telling and recording their stories. The record goes on and on, but there are others who remember their suffering and their suffering, not for anything else, but for our fellow sisters.
Finally, as a close-up, a copy of the memoirs of the old Lui Gui Ying population: This time, I stand bravely for justice for the millions of my compatriots killed by Japanese imperialism… more than six decades ago, Japanese imperialism and the present right wing, a few of whom denied and denied the crimes of history… the people of China, the peoples of the world, let us never forget the depths of history… the history of history, the history of evil. I hope there is no more war. War is evil. I’m sorry.
