The Japanese devil entered the city on the 11th day of the winter month of the lunar calendar in 1937, when I was 19 years old and gave birth to a child when I was 18 years old. At that time, there were five people in the family, including my husband, my mother-in-law, my husband and me, and my children.
Before the Japanese entered the city, around July and August, many Japanese planes often came to bomb them, and according to the people at the time, there may have been traitors to guide them, because signal flares could be seen in the sky. When the Japanese planes came, there were usually more than a dozen, and I can't remember which night the Japanese planes bombed Xibafutang, and now the Changbai Street area, it was really miserable, and in the morning I found corpses all over the ground, and even the trees hung with hands and legs that had been blown off.
I have a brother-in-law who is an adjutant of the Kuomintang, and it seems that he is following a commander. His name is Zhang Yongshan, and it happened to be the eleventh day of the winter month of the lunar calendar when the devil entered the city, he came to our house, and my husband asked him to change into the clothes of the common people and run quickly, but he did not change, and he never came back after going out. The tenth ** was to let the Japanese kill him, because there were traces of the military hat on his head, and the Japanese soldiers were too strict with the ** army, and he couldn't run out.
When the Japanese came, I lived at No. 7 Chengge Old Lane, which is now Taiping South Road, and I didn't do anything at home, and my husband was a shoemaker. At that time, it was too dangerous, so my husband asked us to take the children to Liuhe Dongwang, and the two old men moved into the Xinjiekou air-raid shelter refugee area, where many people lived, probably for a year or two. At the time of Liuhe, there were fewer Japanese, but they had seen Japanese soldiers in the county town, and there were fewer in the countryside.
Three years later, we returned to the city, and by that time the city of Nanjing had settled down, but people were still quite scared, and I still blackened my face with black ash when I went out. The place where we live is very close to the Japanese, they live in No. 1 and No. 2 Chengge Old Lane, which are good houses, and we live in No. 7, which is a grass house. One night, Japanese soldiers knocked on the door, but fortunately, my husband was not allowed to enter the door, so he survived.
An old lady surnamed Mu in our neighbor said that she had a niece in her 30s who was killed by several Japanese soldiers. When the Japanese entered the city, she did not run, and Mrs. Mu said that she saw many Japanese soldiers ** a pregnant woman, and then stabbed the stomach with a bayonet and picked out the child.
After liberation, in 1958, I joined the Baixia District Catering Company, and now I have a pension of 630 yuan a month after retirement. Now when I see Japanese people on TV, I quickly turn off the TV, still scared, they are so bad.
Note: This oral account was obtained by Ma Xiuyi during his investigation in the urban area of Nanjing.
In the autumn of 1943, the Japanese invaders killed civilians in a "sweep."
The original** was complained about.,The reason is pornography, horror and gore.,I guess it's this **.,So it's covered).
