introduction
Since ancient times, war has been a way for those in power to compete for profits, and for ordinary people, it is dark. For the Chinese people in modern history, the war was full of darkness and humiliation, especially the unspeakable Japanese war of aggression against China. From the fall of the northeast, from the north to the south, countless lands were lost and hundreds of people were displaced.
In addition to hunger and death, the greater suffering brought by war was panic and humiliation. Especially the ordinary working women in this war, the physical and mental torture they have to suffer is more painful than that of ordinary people. One term they are reluctant to mention is "comfort women", a term that accompanies the war of aggression, which has dealt a devastating blow to many Chinese women, and no one can clearly record it. We can only learn about one or two from individual cases.
01
During World War II, the Japanese invaders opened the door to the Eastern world with advanced weapons and equipment and sufficient strategic reserves. Due to their long distance from the mainland, the Japanese aggressors could only focus on the land of China, which had already been captured by them, in order to solve their strategic needs. Therefore, every time they go to a place, they will loot the houses here, take away all the food they can take, and burn them all away if they can't take them, as long as they encounter civilians who resist, they will directly kill them.
These cruel and inhuman thugs thus pushed the people of the occupied areas into the depths of the water. What is even more intolerable is that the aggressors have not spared our fellow women. In order to appease the soldiers' emotions, every military camp will set up comfort stations to plunder civilian women from all over the country and provide physical services to these executioners who have plundered our food and killed our loved ones.
02
This was a real thing that happened during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but Japan, which lost after the war, did not admit it. But the truth will never be buried, and many comfort women who have survived have been interviewed, and from their memories, we have reproduced the unbearable scenes of the past. In the history books that record the atrocities of the invaders in this regard, there is such a true story. The protagonist of the story is called Xiaoying, let's call her that for the time being.
Xiaoying's hometown is an ordinary rural area in Jiangnan Water Township. When she was 17 years old, Japanese invaders invaded her village. They snatched all the grain stored in each household and brought together the women of the whole village, and many people knew what it meant. Some people began to flee, but did not run a few steps before they fell under the enemy's gun. The young and beautiful Xiaoying was taken away unsurprisingly, and her nightmare years began.
03
There were comfort stations in the Japanese garrisons, where many compatriot women captured from nearby were held. Their daily job was to use the Japanese soldiers stationed there as a tool to vent their desires. In order to satisfy their perverted desires, "comfort chairs" were also placed in the dimly lit huts of the comfort station. Resistance has no effect here, only more crazy beatings, and no one will treat them when they are sick and injured, and they will have to wait for death if they can't survive.
Xiaoying, like many of the sisters inside, went from struggling to resist to being scaled all over her body to eventually being insensitive. Many sisters chose to die during this period, but the desire to go home has been supporting Xiaoying, and she finally waited until the victory of the War of Resistance. When rescued, people see not a girl in her youth, but a robot with empty eyes and no vitality. After a health examination, it was found that Xiaoying was not only full of new scars on her body, but also lost her fertility.
04
It turned out that in order to prevent these comfort women from getting pregnant, the brutal Japanese army first injected them with sterilization drugs after they were arrested. For a woman, the most precious thing is her virginity and the right to have children. These two things are lost for a woman like Xiaoying, what a cruel and exterminating life! Although all sectors of society have given some care to the surviving comfort women, the fate of the vast majority of them is to die alone.
War is a position for men to compete for fame and profit, but it makes women suffer the most painful blows. Especially for wars of aggression, such cruelty is even more intolerable to world human rights law. What is hateful is that the island countries have not yet refused to recognize the fundamental nature of this war, and they have falsified history and made future generations less and less aware of the truth, which is the most hateful.
epilogue
The history of abuse in modern China tells us that poverty and backwardness will be chased. The tenacious fighting spirit of the Chinese revolution also tells us that only by constantly strengthening our own strength can we guard our territory and the dignity of the nation. As sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, each of us has the obligation to contribute our own strength to the prosperity and strength of the country, so as to build a peaceful homeland for ourselves and future generations, and never to let the humiliation of the nation reappear.
