In 2003, an 82-year-old old grandmother came to Nanjing, and with the support of others, slowly walked to the site of No. 2 comfort station in Liji Lane and wept sadly. 62 years ago, she was tricked by the Japanese police into coming to Nanjing under the pretext of recruiting nurses and began a nightmare.

The old woman's name was Park Yong-sin and she was born in Nampo, South Pyongan Province, North Korea.

In August 1939, Park Yongxin was tricked onto the train by Japanese police at the Pyongyang Railway Station under the pretext of recruiting nurses and taken to the comfort station at No. 2 Liji Lane in Nanjing.

After arriving here, Park Yongxin changed her name to "Song Maru", and since then, this 17-year-old girl has become a "comfort woman" of the Japanese army.

More than 20 women living here, all young and beautiful, wearing gorgeous costumes every day, Japanese soldiers drunk in the downstairs shop, with "comfort coupons" to enter their rooms at will, after which the room heard women constantly crying...

As one of them, Park Yong-sin was brutally ravaged by twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers every day. This inhuman and difficult day, she spent three full years, and the fancy years turned into a lifetime of painful memories here.

After surviving here for three years, Park Yong-sin and 800 other comfort women were transported by the Japanese army as "military supplies" to the Yunnan front.

In 1944, after the 100-day Battle of Matsuyama, the Japanese army was defeated, and Park Yongxin was treated as a "Japanese woman" and captured by the Allies. It was not until the end of the war that Park Yong-sin was sent back to Korea.

After 64 years, she came to Nanjing again. On that day, when the city of Nanjing was raining heavily, Park Yongxin stood in front of the red lacquered wooden door at No. 2 Liji Lane, and after a long time of sadness and tears, he slowly calmed down.

When she faced the place where the tatami mat had been placed in the room, her breathing became urgent again, and she suddenly threw away the person who was supporting her, violently waved her arms, pounded her chest with her fists, and tore her heart and lungs and shouted: "Why don't you fight the Japanese?" What did you pull me to this place for? ”

Park Yong-sin's return to China confirmed to the world a little-known history.

Tangshan Town, a far-flung suburb of Nanjing, was occupied by the Japanese army and set up several comfort stations in the area.



In 2002, an old man in Tangshan Street, Tangshan Town, told his son before his death and asked him to remember the names of all the relatives killed by the Japanese army. The old man also told his son one thing in particular: Lei Apo, who lived in the same street, had been arrested by the Japanese army as a comfort woman.

Lei Apo's name is Lei Guiying, 78 years old.

After his father died, he wanted to talk to Lei Guiying's son and tell him what his father said before he died, but he didn't know how to open his mouth and tell a son about his mother. Unexpectedly, a year later, a news item in the newspaper caught his attention: 82-year-old Park Yongxin came to Nanjing to testify about the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing that year.

This news made him decide to go to Lei Guiying's son immediately. What he did not expect was that when he had the courage to finish speaking, he was scolded by Lei Guiying's son. He could not believe that his mother had been a comfort woman for the Japanese.

Despite his disbelief, he told his mother about it when he got home. After listening to her son's words, the mother was silent, and after a long time, she said that there was no such thing. The mother's words were expected by Tang Jiaguo, but the doubts in his heart did not diminish.

Until one day, as usual, he went to the smoke hotel in the alley to visit the door. Everyone was talking about all the bad things that the Japanese had done in China that day, and when he stepped through the door, everyone was immediately silent, and he vaguely guessed the reason for everyone's silence.

When he mentioned that past to his mother again, this time the mother asked her son with tears, where did you know that? He asked his son to bring the man who told him about it to the house.

After listening to the old neighbor's son finish telling his father, Lei Guiying lost his voice and cried bitterly.

Before opening his mouth, Lei Guiying repeatedly asked his son: "Can I talk?" ”

The son said, "Tell me Mom, it's not your fault." My son will not hate you because of this, all people will not look down on you because of this, I and my wife and children support you to say it, this is not your business alone, but also for those who have the same fate as you, dead, and alive. Mom told all the evil deeds of the Japanese. ”

Lei Guiying was once a comfort woman in the "Gaotaipo" comfort station. Her voice broke the silence of a historical period of more than 60 years, and she was also the first comfort woman in Nanjing to stand up and testify against the history of comfort women in Nanjing.

With the passage of time, survivors who had been humiliated by the Japanese army passed away one after another. However, Japan, which has brought great disasters to its Asian neighbors, has not deeply reflected on this history, but has tried in vain to tamper with and whitewash the crimes it has committed.

"History is the best textbook and the best sobering agent." Restoring the historical truth is not only a respect for history itself, but also to remind those who come after us not to forget history, not to forget the trauma of the past, and not to let history repeat itself. To defend the historical truth is to defend peace!
