Eighty-four years, the history of youth is clear. At present, only 61 survivors are registered in the Nanjing Victims' Assistance Association for the Japanese Invasion of China. The elderly survivors of the Nanjing Massacre race against time, re-touching the pain of memory, telling the world about the tragic experiences during the Nanjing Massacre, calling for peace and upholding peace. On the eve of the National Day of Commemoration for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre, let's listen to the voices of the elderly liu minsheng, Cen Honggui, Ge Daorong and other elderly people who survived the Nanjing Massacre.
"After the Japanese army entered the city, they drove us all to the square. At that time, shortly after my mother gave birth to my sister, my father held me in the middle of the young ranks, I was young and crying, and a Japanese soldier rushed over and stabbed me, and there is still a scar on my right leg. ”
Nanjing Massacre survivor Liu Minsheng
Recalling his experience in the refugee camp at that time, the elderly Liu Minsheng, a survivor of the Nanjing Massacre, trembled in his voice and his eyes were moist. He was only 3 years old at the time, and these things were told to him later by his mother. After his father was taken away by the Japanese army, he never returned, leaving him with only a shocking scar on his leg.
Nanjing Massacre survivor Cen Honggui
Like the elderly Liu Minsheng, Nanjing Massacre survivor Cen Honggui was burned on his leg and also left deep scars. In 1937, when Cen Honggui was 13 years old, the family lived by the city wall of Beihuachang Street outside the Hanzhong Gate in Nanjing. At that time, the Japanese army invading China burned his home, "the fire ball fell down, burned my pants, burned my legs along the pants, the Japanese army also shot at the father who was holding the second sister, the bullet grazed the sister's neck and flew past, almost killing the sister, the sister's jaw was injured, and the blood flowed." Cen Honggui recalled.
Nanjing Massacre survivor Chen Deshou
84 years ago, Nanjing Massacre survivor Chen Deshou was only 6 years old, and he should have been a naïve age, but he watched his loved ones die. Elder Chen Deshou recalled that on the morning when the invading Japanese army entered the city, a Japanese soldier came to his house with a long gun and looked for girls everywhere, and his aunt was dead or alive: "My aunt got around with the Japanese army invading China, she was a cultured Chinese woman, and she would not be insulted by the Japanese army that invaded China." The Japanese army stabbed a total of 6 knives in her body, and the aunt shouted on the ground: 'Mom, I feel bad, I want to drink a bowl of sugar water', the aunt had too much blood on her body, grandma had just come from the back house with water, and the aunt had lost her breath. ”
Nanjing Massacre survivor Ge Daorong
The evidence of the crime cannot be denied, and history cannot be tampered with. These witnesses of history never cease to tell, and remember history never for the sake of hatred, but for the sake of calling for eternal peace. Ge Daorong, a survivor of the Nanjing Massacre: "There are three of my relatives on the list of [Wailing Wall], and these names contain greater roles, with our personal experience, exposing the crimes of the Japanese army invading China, and the purpose of our remembering history is to cherish peace." ”
Nanking Massacre survivor Fang Suxia
Fang Suxia, a survivor of the Nanjing Massacre, always kept telling her descendants and young people about the past, although the memory was unbearable, but she hoped that more people would remember this history and understand the preciousness of peace: "We must educate our children and grandchildren, do not forget history, textbooks must write this history well, and our children and grandchildren must stand up and build the country well, and contribute to the maintenance of world peace and the development of our China." ”
