He was arrested and sent to a comfort station, lost his fertility, and hated the Japanese in his later years.
In the modern history of the Chinese nation, the 14 years from 1931 to 1945 were the darkest and most painful periods. During this period, China, which was poor and weak, suffered from the aggression of Japanese imperialism, especially the *** system, which was one of the greatest atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders during World War II.
According to historical records, the number of women arrested and forcibly "**" by the Japanese invaders in China was as high as 300,000. After these fragile women were imprisoned in comfort stations, they experienced a life that was like hell.
Some women unfortunately lost their lives, and although some survived, they left a deep psychological imprint, and some were even disabled for life. The wheels of history are rolling forward, and many *** have spent their lives in hatred.
Lin Ailan was born in 1925 in Gaobao Township, Lingao County, in the northwest of Hainan Island, and has two younger sisters in addition to her. As the eldest sister in the family, she has been very sensible since she was a child, and under the influence of her father, she has developed a strong interest in Chinese herbal medicine.
When Lin Ailan was a child, she often pestered her father to ask about the uses of different herbs. Seeing that his daughter was so interested in Chinese herbal medicine, the father was willing to guide her. As time passed, Lin Ailan gradually recognized the use of a Chinese herbal medicine, and even had the idea of becoming a barefoot doctor in the future.
Although Lin Ailan cherished a dream, the iron hooves of the Japanese shattered her dreams. In 1937, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, Japan invaded China in an all-round way, and the Chinese nation faced a crisis of life and death.
In this period when the country was broken, many brave people went to the battlefield in order to resist Japan and save the country, and Lin Ailan was no exception. On February 10, 1939, Japan brazenly invaded Hainan Island, breaking the peaceful life of the Hainan people.
When the nation is in danger and the hometown is not protected, no one can be left alone. Lin Ailan was only 15 years old at the time, and her heart was full of anger when she saw the Japanese invaders burning, killing and looting in her hometown.
So, she joined the anti-Japanese guerrillas without hesitation and threw herself into the torrent of the anti-Japanese war.
Lin Ailan's medical skills made her responsible for treating the wounded in the army. She was deeply saddened to see the young warriors being wounded and dying. This made her even more determined to stand up to the Japanese invaders.
Soon, she became a member of the "Red Women's Army", sabotaging the enemy's communication arteries with her comrades, looting the enemy's food, transporting supplies to the front, and organizing the women of the village to make shoes and wash blood clothes for the soldiers.
Her outstanding performance was recognized by the organization, but it also attracted the attention of the Japanese. They brutally murdered Lin Ailan's mother and hunted down her father and sister.
All this made Lin Ailan's family ruined and miserable. However, she did not give up because of this, but continued to devote herself to the war of resistance. In 1941, Lin Ailan and several female comrades-in-arms were caught by Japanese soldiers while transporting military rations and taken to the stronghold.
In the face of the molestation and threats of the Japanese officers, Lin Ailan angrily glared at the enemy and denounced their atrocities, showing unwavering courage and determination.
Lin Ailan was bruised all over her body and bleeding from the corners of her mouth after being punched and kicked by several Japanese soldiers, but she always adhered to her beliefs and did not make any sound. The Japanese officers were outraged by this and even wanted to shoot and kill Lin Ailan.
However, a fellow villager who worked as an errand for the Japanese suddenly developed sympathy for Lin Ailan and tried to intercede for her. Fortunately, the Japanese officer released Lin Ailan.
However, although Lin Ailan survived, her nightmare was just beginning. She was imprisoned in a "comfort station", a wooden room of more than ten square meters. In that hut, she and several other fathers and daughters ate and drank Lazar, and they couldn't even see each other's faces.
Only when the door is open can a faint light shine in. Lin Ailan can only understand the situation outside by seeing the *** who was detained together. However, she hoped that the door would never be opened, because opening it would mean that the Japanese soldiers would torture them frantically again.
At night, the boardroom and the surrounding rooms seem to be hell on earth, filled with cries, cries for help, and the sound of slapping mouths. It's chilling.
Lin Ailan and her sisters were brutally attacked by several or even a dozen Japanese soldiers, and one of the officers even poisoned her, plugged her mouth with a wooden stick, and beat her hands until she almost lost her ability to resist, and then ** her.
This endless torture made Lin Ailan physically and mentally exhausted, and the muscles and bones of her right leg were even broken by the Japanese invaders, leaving her with a lifelong disability and difficulty walking in her later years. She tried to commit suicide several times, but was stopped by the Japanese army.
This painful day lasted for half a year, until one day, the old Chinese man couldn't stand it anymore and risked his life to make a hole in the wall of the Japanese stronghold, so that Lin Ailan and others escaped from the cave.
Although Lin Ailan has been tortured to the core, the flame of resistance against Japan in her heart has not been extinguished, and she is determined to continue to fight and serve the country and her family. However, due to a disabled leg, she could no longer fight with a gun and could only work in the rear until the victory of the war of resistance.
Lin Ailan was just 20 years old when she won the Anti-Japanese War, and although for many people, victory meant rebirth, but for her, life after the victory was not easy.
Lin Ailan was young, but she knew that she had no possibility of getting pregnant, so she gave up the idea of getting married. After liberation, her father and eldest sister returned from wandering, and the family was reunited, but the disappearance and death of her mother and younger sister left the family no longer whole.
Lin Ailan lived a lonely life, and it was not until the age of 61 that she adopted an abandoned girl and barely had a home. He lived in poverty, living in two thatched huts and four walls.
Barely making ends meet with the help of neighbours and some subsidies. For many years, Lin Ailan has tormented between the identity of a female warrior and ***, and has been awakened by nightmares in sleepless nights.
Seeing the picture of the Japanese soldiers, she would still scold, and even tremble with anger. A reporter asked her if she regretted joining the guerrillas, but she always shook her head and had sharp eyes, and the answer was "no regrets".
In 2005, as the victor of the Anti-Japanese War, Lin Ailan received a commemorative medal issued by the organization. This medal became the most precious treasure of her life, representing her honor and patriotism.
However, the old man died of illness in 2015 and failed to wait for a formal apology from the Japanese for their crimes, but this did not erase her painful memories of that period of history.
The history of the Chinese nation is a painful memory, caused by the evil deeds of Japanese imperialism. Even now that we are living in an era of peace, we must not take it lightly and must always be vigilant.
We must not only cherish peace, but also strive to be strong in order to remember the sacrifices of the martyrs and prevent the recurrence of the tragedies of the past.
