Liu Nianzhen was born in Yueyang County, Hunan Province in 1918, and was taken away by the Japanese army in 1944 in Zhangguying Town and locked up in a dilapidated house on the mountain. During his imprisonment, the old man was subjected to sexual slavery by the Japanese army. The detention place was guarded by Japanese soldiers, and Grandma Liu kept trying to escape. One night, probably seven or eight days after being imprisoned, she finally escaped snuck out. Due to severe inflammation, my grandmother was unable to have children and was cared for by her nephew's family in her later years.

On April 28, 2019, the Hunan investigation team of the research center went to Yueyang County, Hunan Province for investigation and visited Liu Nianzhen.
Liu Nianzhen was the oldest victim survivor in mainland China, and although she is old, her physical and mental state are quite good. Whenever volunteers visited, the elderly were very happy. In the fall of 2019, volunteers from the research center went to Yueyang to visit Grandma Liu, and she held the volunteers' hands and chatted. When the volunteers didn't understand something, she gestured with her hand, and whenever she guessed what she meant, her grandmother would smile and nod her head and give her a thumbs up. In 2020, the New Year condolence team went to grandma's house, and grandma also warmly received everyone, and she has been holding the hand of the only girl in the team. Our footage left a lot of happy and playful moments of the old man.
