Revisiting history: How tragic was the suffering of the two nuns in the Nanjing Massacre? Rescued from the Devil's Cave. At the time of the Nanjing Massacre, the Japanese army turned Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, into a "hell on earth." The ghosts who were inferior to the beasts killed more than 300,000 Soldiers and Civilians in Nanjing. The cruelty of that method has never been heard in the world. Many foreigners in Nanjing recorded the bestial acts committed by the Japanese army in their diaries.
In December 1937, the Americans who remained in Nanjing recorded the tragic situation of two nuns in their diaries, experiencing the thrilling scene of sacrificing themselves from the magic cave to save people. How tragic was the plight of two nuns in the Republic of China era? What did they go through? On December 13, 1937, after the Japanese army captured Nanjing, it burned and looted in the city, killing many innocent citizens. The Drum Tower Hospital in Nanjing is full of injured people who have come to treat them. A few days ago, a seriously injured nun was taken to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital. American doctors came to her rescue. The nun, after escaping from danger, told the American doctor opposite her tragic experience. According to The Macquarie Diaries, the victims rescued by American doctors were nuns in the southeastern part of Nanjing. She has a 10-year-old disciple. The devils shot into the cave, killing three people and wounding two nuns, who hid under the corpses and managed to escape. They hadn't eaten in five days. He was not treated for 18 days. Nearby Chinese took the badly injured nun to the hospital. She told me that year, her 10-year-old disciple was still in the cave. I decided to drive an ambulance to take her there. Through the above diary of the American doctor, we know the tragic experience of these two nuns. In order to avoid the Japanese army, they fenced the streets in search of the "flower girls", and they hid in the cave.
As a result, he was wounded by the ferocious Japanese army. The situation of the two nuns reflects the inferior side of the Japanese army in the Nanjing Massacre, turning the city of Nanjing into a magic cave. A lot of women are being bullied. How did this righteous American rescue other nuns from the devil's den? McAllen, an American doctor, took the nuns to a shelter in an ambulance, and after getting out of the car, drunken Japanese soldiers teased the two elderly people. The two old men saw the American doctor, as if they had met a savior, knelt down and prostrated their heads, and asked him for help. The man was a drunken Japanese soldier with a gun pointed at an American doctor. He bravely stood up to stop the atrocities of the Japanese army. Let the two old men escape. Crazy Japanese soldiers opened fire in the hole, and when the wounded nun was sent by ambulance, Japanese soldiers surrounded the ambulance and almost killed the Chinese driver who was driving. In the process of sacrificing his life to save people, the Japanese army at that time became greedy in the streets of Nanjing, and military discipline was fragmented. The whole city, with the exception of the 25 safe zones, is like a magic cave. The above is the tragic experience of two nuns, who survived the rescue of an American doctor
However, in the Nanjing Massacre, more than 20,000 women and children were abused by the Japanese army. This blood debt Chinese people will always remember. More than 20,000 women were injured. That is to say, the tragic experience of the two nuns is only a microcosm of the Nanjing Massacre. Nanjing in 1937 was full of killings and insults. However, the blood debt of more than 300,000 compatriots intertwined with blood and tears, Japan has not confessed guilt after the war, and has despised or erased the Nanjing Massacre. That's 1.4 billion Chinese will never forgive. We have not forgotten the atrocities committed by the Japanese army, "not forgetting the national shame, and the alarm bells have been ringing for a long time." We have not forgotten the felonies committed by the Japanese army. This is a collective memory that the Chinese nation cannot erase.
The reason for this was a riot in Shandong, when a female thief named Tang Sai'er led the local peasants to carry out an uprising, which was not large in scale, and was only mentioned in the history books. It was in the territory of present-day Binzhou, where thousands of people claimed to be members of the White Lotus Sect, who rebelled and united against the imperial court, but the impact of this movement on the imperial court was too small, so the past was directly omitted in the current textbooks, and there was no relevant record.
However, it was such a small storm that made Ming Chengzu pay special attention, and even reached the point of anger, he first sent his five thousand elite soldiers to suppress it, and then ordered the army that was fighting against the Wokou in the coastal areas to also participate in the battle. Judging from such an astonishing momentum, he had the great meaning of "outside must be first inside". However, even if Chiang Kai-shek desperately wanted to encircle and suppress later, it was because someone moved his cake at this time, which caused a great obstacle to his rule over China. But at that time, Tang Sai'er and his party, at best, were a small hill that exposed the uprising, how big a storm could be stirred up, why did Ming Chengzu pay so much attention to this point?
