On the morning of April 26th, 2007, at around 9 o'clock, a scene like this appeared in Baipu Town, Rugao City, Jiangsu Province:
When my son read the Yangzi Evening News to his mother that day, he mentioned the death of a comfort woman named Lei, told a lot about her, and bravely stood up and accused Japan of the crimes of that year.
At this point, the son's mother actually cried, which made the son a little confused. It took about half an hour for the mother's mood to calm down, and then the son said to his mother, "Son, your mother is also a comfort woman ..."
In this way, a story buried for many years reappears. So, what kind of twists and turns and sadness are there? Let's get to know each other today.
As we all know, in 193 1, the Japanese launched the September 18th Incident and invaded the three northeastern provinces of China. However, how can Japan's wolf ambition be satisfied with this? Six years later, they launched the Lugouqiao Incident, and the Japanese invaders entered China in an all-round way.
According to some data and documents, wherever the Japanese army went, it burned, killed and looted, and the people of China suffered from the "Three Lights" policy. More than 300,000 comrades-in-arms died innocently in the Nanjing Massacre.
A year later, also in Jiangsu, a place called Baipu Town in Rugao City was also captured by the Japanese army, and it was about to usher in a bumpy life. On March 18 of the same year, in order to speed up the occupation of Jiangsu, the Japanese army did not choose to advance by land, but landed from Yaogang, Nantong.
At that time, more than 5,000 Japanese troops rushed from Yaogang to Rugao under the cover of planes and artillery. In just one day, the Japanese army occupied Baipu, Ding Yan and other towns with its powerful firepower.
As we all know, at the end of 1937, after the Japanese army captured Nanjing, a comfort station was set up there, and women in Nanjing were bullied inhumanely, and many women were persecuted by them.
The same scene happened in Rugao, where the Japanese army set up a large number of "comfort stations" in the occupied areas, and they kept the women they found inside for the Japanese army to have fun every day.
On March 23rd, the fifth day after the Japanese army landed in Yaogang, the Japanese mopping-up brigade came to Baipu, Rugao City. This day is unforgettable for Zhou Fenying, the protagonist of our story today.
Because this day she was discovered by the Japanese mopping-up brigade, which was also the beginning of her disaster. So, who is Zhou Fenying and what kind of bumpy story does she have? We continue to look down.
According to Jiang Weixun, Zhou Fenying's son, her mother was born on the 5th of the lunar calendar 19 17 15. At that time, it happened to be the Republic of China, and the domestic economic development was still relatively backward. Many places in the south have child brides, and Zhou Fenying's poop is like this.
Maybe it's because the family is too poor. When Zhou Fenying was five years old, her parents sent her to Ni's home to be a child bride. In fact, being a child bride is not so terrible as long as you meet the right person, and Zhou Fenying is.
Her husband's name is Ni Jincheng, about the same age as Zhou Fenying. As the saying goes, men should marry when they are older, and women should marry when they are older. When Zhou Fenying 19 years old, she officially married Ni Jincheng, and the young couple lived a good life.
A happy life is always short. As mentioned above, the Lugouqiao Incident in 1937 started a full-scale war of aggression against China. A year later, the Japanese army hit Baipu Town, Rugao, Zhou Fenying's hometown.
At that time, there were many traitors in the Japanese occupied area. Under the leadership of these traitors, the Japanese army pushed cars to the countryside to catch women. At that time, Baipu Town was in a panic, especially Zhou Fenying, for fear that such a thing would happen to herself.
As the saying goes, "What are you afraid of?" 1on the morning of March 23, 938, the Japanese army, led by traitors, began to sweep the village, which happened to be Zhou Fenying's village. Listening to the shouts outside, Zhou Fen Yinghe, 2 1 year-old, quickly hid.
However, she didn't know that the traitors had told the Japanese about her beauty, and these people came for her. Even if Zhou Fen hides in hiding, even moving back and forth in rows of houses, how can the Japanese stop without catching her?
Unable to find her in Zhou Fenying's home, the Japanese army began to search from house to house. Because Zhou Fenying was hiding under the millstone, most of the day passed without any clues from the Japanese army. Unfortunately, a Japanese soldier found her cloth shoes in front of a farmer's house.
In this way, the Japanese army did the same thing and found a house. When the Japanese army opened the millstone, Zhou Fenying was undoubtedly discovered. She got tangled up with her sister-in-law and got into a dogfight. The Japanese army looked at the two shivering, and they smelled all over.
Immediately, the Japanese army tied up Zhou Fen Ying and her sister-in-law and took them away like an eagle catching a chicken. According to Zhou Fenying's memory, they were locked in a house, which was a comfort station for the Japanese army.
In addition to Zhou Fen Yinghe's sister-in-law, there are more than 20 girls in the room, and the youngest girl is only 10. It's outrageous to think about it. There are more than 0/0 comfort stations/KLOC-0, each with a bed, and there are only a handful of women such as Zhou Fenying.
Because she is beautiful, the number is "1", and then they are arranged in these rooms. Japanese devils wear pants in and out of these houses every day, making no secret of their despicable laughter.
Because Zhou Fenying is beautiful, she is forced to receive the most Japanese people, more than a dozen people every day. In the meantime, if she is a little disobedient, the Japanese army will punch and kick her, and in serious cases, she will point a bayonet at her neck, which may kill people at any time.
In addition to Zhou Fenying's tragic situation, other women's screams can be heard every day in the comfort station, and some women are even beaten black and blue. Even so, they will continue to be bullied and miserable by the Japanese.
Maybe many people will say, why don't you sneak away in the dark? You know, in the comfort station, there are Japanese soldiers with live ammunition, and even people follow you when you go to the toilet. What can you do if you want to escape? How much faster is a man than a bullet?
In some TV dramas and documentaries, we often see groups of Japanese soldiers waiting anxiously outside rows of small houses. In fact, isn't this what Zhou Fenying experienced? There are countless inhuman acts of the Japanese army. ......
About after the Dragon Boat Festival (1938), there was an official in Baipu Town. Because Zhou Fenying was more beautiful and spent a sum of money to buy it from the Japanese army, Zhou Fenying was considered to have jumped out of the fire pit.
It is reported that when Zhou Fenying left the comfort station, the number of girls there had more than doubled from the initial 20 or so. The "official" originally wanted to accept Zhou Fenying as his concubine, but she was very devoted to her husband Ni Jincheng and would never give up.
The official can't help but let Zhou Fenying go back so that husband and wife can be together. When the time came to 194 1 year, the Japanese war of aggression against China became more and more fierce, and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in China also entered a climax stage.
His wife was bullied by the Japanese army, and Ni Jincheng always wanted revenge on him. Finally, in April of that year, he joined the New Fourth Army and became an anti-Japanese soldier in the "old regiment" of the New Fourth Army.
For the Association for Science and Technology, in a battle in July of that year, Ni Jincheng fought hand-to-hand with the Japanese army and finally fell under the bayonet of the Japanese army ... Zhou Fenying was heartbroken after hearing the news. After liberation, Ni Jincheng became an anti-Japanese martyr, and his wife could also enjoy the treatment of martyrs. Of course, this is another story.
After her husband's death, Zhou Fenying's experience has been buried, even her son Jiang Weixun didn't know. Until April 2007, the Yangzi Evening News of Baipu Town Post reported the news of the death of "comfort woman" Lei, and Zhou Fen talents remembered the past again.
He said to his son with tears in his eyes, "I am also a comfort woman." Hearing this sentence, my son could hardly believe that his mother still had such an unforgettable past. While comforting his mother, Jiang Weixun denounced the crimes of the Japanese army and later became a witness against the Japanese army.
In other words, Zhou Fenying cried her eyes because of what happened in those years. As time went on, her eye disease became more and more serious until she became blind. At the same time, Zhou Fenying's body, especially the lower body, has been aching, but she has been insisting, hoping to get an explanation one day.
Regrettably, Japanese officials have always maintained a denial attitude towards this matter. On July 6, 2008, Zhou Fenying passed away quietly at home, and did not wait until the moment of apology.
Through the above introduction, it is not difficult to see the numerous crimes during the Japanese invasion of China. Although people have to look forward and the nation needs to keep moving forward, we can't forget history, let alone national humiliation and family hatred.
However, looking back at many places in China today, there are "Japanese streets" and "Japanese schools", such as Japanese streets in Jiangsu and Japanese streets in Northeast China, which can't help but make people feel a little emotional.
There is a saying: "Peace needs to be won and peace needs to be maintained. Only when everyone cherishes and maintains peace, and only when everyone remembers the painful lessons of war, can there be hope for peace. "
Everyone wants peace, but if we want to maintain peace, we must not forget the pain of war, let alone the shame of the past. As our ancestors said, such a nation can be brave after shame, and forgetting the past is tantamount to betrayal.
What do you think of this matter?
