One day in August 1942, Li Lianchun, an 18-year-old girl, struggled to carry a basket of vegetables on her back and came to Lameng Town to catch the market.
"The Japanese devils are coming, run!" I don't know who shouted, and suddenly the streets were in chaos!
Li Lianchun couldn't take care of the basket of vegetables, and ran in the direction of home in a panic.
But it was already late, and a group of Japanese soldiers had been waiting there for a long time, waiting for the market to be lively, so they set up guns at the end of the street and blocked the market.
The Japanese devils carried guns, punched and kicked men, stabbed them with knives, and when they saw young and beautiful women, they pounced on them and ruined them on the spot.
The behavior of the Japanese devils, "the beast is not as good" is too much to use on them!
18-year-old Li Lianchun was not spared, the untrained girl was torn apart by the ruin, bloody, and beaten to the nose and face, she took advantage of the devil's unpreparedness, endured the pain and fled back home.
The father looked at his daughter, whose clothes were torn and covered in wounds, his heart was like a knife, and he punched the wall, and he wanted to kill these Japanese devils.
He endured the resentment in his heart and comforted his daughter: "Child, it's good to be alive ......"
Li Lianchun's family lives in Bainitang Village, Lameng Town, Yunnan Province, his mother died early due to illness, his father is often sick, and he has a younger sister.
The burden of life fell on her. After the Japanese invaded her hometown, life at home became even more difficult.
On that day, she wanted to sell the vegetables in exchange for some salt and household use. Who knew that she was ruined by the Japanese army, and although she escaped, a more tragic doom awaited her.
Soon, the Japanese army entered the mountains to sweep, and the local armor chief Yang Shan acted as a tiger, and in order to curry favor with the Japanese, he often sent them food and "flower girls".
One day, Yang Shan took several Japanese soldiers to Li Lianchun's house.
After Li Lianchun's father learned the news, he hurriedly grabbed a handful of black ash in the stove and wiped it on the smooth and delicate faces of the sisters.
Then he brought two buckets of dung, put them in the house, and sprinkled some dung water on them, and told them to hide in the pyre.
With a "clang", the door was kicked open, and Yang Shan and several Japanese soldiers broke in.
A foul smell came to his nose, and Yang Shan and the Japanese soldiers covered their noses and retreated, and they grabbed Li Lianchun's father and said that as long as he sent his two daughters to the Japanese army to "wash clothes", they would let him go.
Father Li insisted: "I don't know where they went!"
The Japanese stepped forward and slapped him several times, then fiercely kicked him to the ground, drew a leather whip, and beat Li's father to death.
Li's father died within a few days due to his injuries, and Li Lianchun was full of grief and hatred for the Japanese army.
After the death of her father, Li Lianchun and her young sister depended on each other, and one day, she secretly went to the field to pick vegetables, and unfortunately met several Japanese soldiers.
They pulled her aside, took turns to spoil her, and then took her to the Da Yakou comfort station.
There, she met more than 30 sisters who had been taken prisoner like her. The Japanese forced them to wear Japanese kimonos, and then forced them to "Xi".
The so-called "practical Xi" means that in front of the public, the Japanese army insulted them on the spot!
If someone resists the slightest, they will be punched and kicked. They were tortured by more than a dozen Japanese soldiers every day, some of whom were psychologically twisted, whipping them with leather whips and insulting them.
Once, when a Japanese soldier was abusing Li Lianchun, he pinched her neck, all of them were indiscriminately bitten, and he bit a piece of flesh on her shoulder, and she fainted in pain.
The Japanese army brought a basin of water and splashed it on her body, Li Lianchun was stimulated by the cold water to wake up, and the inhuman Japanese army did not let her go and continued to spoil her.
Li Lianchun and the others were tortured to death, some were tortured to the point of insanity, and some were seriously ill, and the Japanese army killed or threw them away.
Li Lianchun was unwilling to be ruined by the Japanese army like this, she thought about how to escape from the clutches of the Japanese army every day, but the Japanese army was tightly guarded.
It wasn't until a year and a half later, one night, that Li Lianchun, with the help of a cowherd, disguised himself and escaped from the Japanese army's cave.
She escaped from Songshan overnight, begged someone to send her across the river, she hid in Tibet, and finally she fled to the mountains, hiding in a cave for several months, one day she fainted, and a local veterinarian, Gao Xi Xian, went to the mountains to collect medicine, found her, and carried her home.
Under the careful care of Gao Xixian, she slowly recovered her body, and later the two got married, and her husband treated her very well. But the suffering did not spare this miserable woman.
As a result of the year-and-a-half-long devastation suffered by the Japanese army, she suffered from a very serious gynecological disease, and sometimes rolled in pain, not to mention working in the fields.
The physical torture did not crush the strong Li Lianchun, but when the villagers learned that she had been in the comfort center of the Japanese army, their disdainful eyes and gossip stung her deeply: "What is wrong with me!"
For the sake of his wife, Gao Xi Xian moved with his family to live in the mountains.
After liberation, the couple built a house in the mountains with their industrious hands and had a son and a daughter.
In 1960, her husband, who loved her dearly, died of illness and left her.
Suffering did not bend Li Lianchun's backbone, but made her cheerful and open-minded, self-esteem and self-improvement, no matter how hard life was, she also saved money from her mouth to send her children to study.
Her two children are well educated, and her grandchildren are in college.
In 1989, Su Zhiliang and Chen Lifei, who specialized in the study of the "comfort women" system, interviewed her.
She bravely tore apart the painful memories, exposed the crimes of the Japanese army invading China, and sought justice from the Japanese government.
In 2004, Li Lianchun passed away. But there was no waiting for an apology from the Japanese government, and as time went on, fewer and fewer "comfort women" survived.
But the history that the Japanese invasion of China gave to those women who suffered injuries can never be erased!
