Hu Yan mourned and flew at night, and Hu Er's tears fell in both directions. War is like throwing a country and a nation into a bush of thorns, back and forth, left and right, covered with hard thorns, and every step forward brings the people a lot of scars.
In war, there is never a real winner, and even the victorious side needs to pay an unimaginably huge price.
The Chinese nation has a long and glorious history, and in modern times it has also been bullied by great powers and fought wars. Decades of turmoil and uneasiness have made us understand better that the beauty of the present is not easy to come by.
Every Chinese must clearly remember this history. To remember history is not to hate and complain, but to create peace and protect peace.
Only in a stable environment, in society, you and I, as individuals, can we achieve happiness.
Stand up and come out of the scars
In the face of war, if men encounter the challenge of life and blood, then women face the choice of dignity and helplessness.
The country, like an individual, has great love and selflessness, and is willing to develop hand in hand with others. Nor can we easily trample others on it for our own temporary interests.
Without any reason, Japan brazenly launched a war of aggression against our country and even threatened to occupy China in a short period of time.
They originally thought that China was a fragile piece of paper, which would be broken at the first poke, but they did not expect that China was a hard piece of iron, and the harder it was quenched, the more infinite sparks burst out.
In 1937, the Battle of Songhu was fought, and Shanghai was lost. The Japanese army shattered its illusions and invaded the bustling city of Nanjing in order to obtain more supplies. The gates of the ancient city were slammed open, and a tidal wave of troops broke into the city.
They plundered everywhere, and even more excessively, they regarded human life as grass, and many people died in humiliation, and many people struggled to survive torture.
Those who survived are the most powerful evidence of that period of history. Even if the Japanese argue sophistry many years later, they will not be able to hide it, and someone will bravely stand up and denounce the crimes they have committed.
In 2006, encouraged by the elderly Park Yongxin, a North Korean comfort woman, the Chinese comfort women who had suffered inhuman abuse, also bravely stood up.
The old man's name was Lei Guiying, and she was the first comfort woman in Nanjing to stand up and tell the story of Nanjing's dark and lawless history.
It was the most painful time of her life, but she still recalled the darkest moments of the past over and over again, as a confession, indicating the exact address of the comfort station, donating the comfort station, and the disinfectant powder distributed to the comfort women at that time as evidence.
For more than 70 years, the old man has been tenaciously alive, as if waiting for the moment when the truth is revealed, revealing history and standing up as if it is her mission.
After completing her mission, less than a year later, Lei Guiying passed away, and her life was too hard.
Childhood was bumpy and wandering around
Some little girls are soaked in honeypots as soon as they are born, and Lei Guiying is faced with a cruel reality as soon as she is born. His parents were Jiangning, Nanjing, a farmer in a small village.
The harvest was not good, the war was frequent, there was a day of eating and not eating, fortunately, the family could still get together.
The little girl was just 7 years old, and at what should have been a carefree age, her father suddenly died unexpectedly. The top pillar of the family was gone, and the mother was heartbroken, and wanted to go to the mountain to pay tribute to her dead husband, but once she went, she never came back, and she did not know where she was taken captive by bandits.
More painful than death is the birth and departure, Lei Guiying sat at the dilapidated doorway, waiting for his mother to return, the sun rising and the moon setting, black and white changes, and he could not wait for his mother's news.
She wanted to go looking for her mother, and there was no direction, only to walk along the road, all the way. When you meet well-meaning people, it is rare to be able to beg for food. Finally, under the double blow of body and soul, the weak Lei Guiying fell at the door of a family in Tangshan Town.
The long journey, lack of food and drink, made the little girl yellow and thin, dirty and messy, but could not hide her Peugeot face. Lei Guiying was adopted by the family as a child bride.
At a young age, it is extremely difficult to send people to the fence, do various tasks, and be strictly required by the outside world. But here is a home, can shelter from the wind and rain, can save her from drifting, Lei Guiying chose to stay.
Less than two years after the stable days, the Japanese army captured Nanjing and began the "three lights" policy.
Crazy Japanese sweep around, Lei Guiying in order to cook for his family, accidentally out of the cooking smoke, was found, opened the girl's life nightmare.
The little girl was brutally violated
Two Japanese men with guns and a look of horror on their faces returned to Lei Guiying's home and rushed straight towards the little girl. Their iron palms, dead imprisoned, her limbs, brutally tearing the girl's clothes.
At that time, Lei Guiying was only 9 years old, and she suffered unprecedented damage, and the Japanese army went away with pleasure, but she lay there in a daze, her eyes hollow, and her tears dried.
This was just the beginning of the nightmare, the second, third, and fourth time, every Japanese was like a beast, tearing the girls' bodies and shattering their hopes.
There are many little girls like Lei Guiying who have suffered the same inhuman abuse. Those delicate lives have just begun and are over.
When Lei Guiying was 13 years old, he wanted to get a subsistence job, but he was tricked into a comfort station by Japanese women, and five or six Japanese men were welcomed every day in the cramped house.
She cried, she fought, but unfortunately the strength was too weak, and all that was ushered in was a more ferocious beating, the girl's face was smashed down by the butt of the gun, the thigh was cruelly cut by the bayonet, and the warm blood flowed out, and no one cared about her.
Because no one healed her, she was left with a lifelong disability in the comfort station. Life was already very gray, and the flame of hope was still burning in her heart.
In 1943, taking advantage of the lax Japanese guards, Lei Guiying lied about going out to the toilet, quickly fled, and left the hell on earth that made her creepy.
In the air, with the sweetness of freedom, she kept running, all the way, running to a remote, little-populated place, hiding herself deeply.
It was not until after the victory of the War of Resistance that it gradually appeared in front of everyone.
epilogue
Fortunately, she met her later husband, two bitter people who survived the war, snuggled up to each other and warmed each other. The long-term torture caused Lei Guiying to lose her fertility. They adopted a son and a daughter, and their little life was plain and warm.
No one knows what kind of years this ordinary woman has experienced, she just smiled warmly, until she bravely stood up and told the history.
Whether it is a nation or an individual, war has brought us too much harm. However, the cracks scratched by those thorns will become the pattern on the picture of life in the flow of time, and our lives will be repaired more thickly.
I hope that Lei Guiying can have a happy old age, and I hope that our descendants will not suffer such suffering again.
