Were there any atrocities committed by Japan during World War II in Wuhan?

In October 1938, Japan occupied Wuhan. The heinous crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in Wuhan. Gu Ruozhao, a former member of the CPPCC Committee of Jiang'an District of Wuhan City, wrote an article recalling the war-torn era. On the land of China, whether in the front, rear, or enemy-occupied areas, our people shared the same hatred and endured eight arduous and arduous years. After years of bloody fighting, they finally defeated the Japanese invaders and won the great victory of the Anti-Japanese War. This is a monument set by the Chinese people for national liberation in modern history. It is also an evocative page in the history of the world's people's anti-fascist war.

At that time, I spent seven years of suffering in occupied Wuhan. I heard and witnessed many inhumane atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders, and my heart burned with the fire of hatred for Japanese militarism. Love me. China, we love our people even more fervently.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, I stayed with my mother and taught at a cram school for girls in Wuhan. After the fall of Wuhan, I transferred to the private St. Joseph’s Girls’ Middle School in Hankou to teach and served as the headmaster of the Lixing Building in the old French Concession. A tutor at a friend's house. In the past seven years, I have witnessed the Japanese army tying innocent children of our country to trees alive and executing them. I have witnessed the Japanese army confiscating residents’ houses and property. The Japanese army raped and looted. They did everything. Invaders were everywhere in the streets and alleys. Opium dens and casinos poisoned people. He coerced many women and sisters into becoming prostitutes for their sexual pleasures. The Japanese army was tyrannical and extremely arrogant, and the tragic past is still vivid in our minds.

A just war must win. The Japanese invaders were finally defeated by the Chinese people and put on the judgment stand of history. On August 14, 1945, the Emperor of Japan officially announced his unconditional surrender to my country. The people of Wuhan rushed to tell each other, rejoicing and immersed in the infinite passion of victory.

In September of the same year, I was appointed by the Hankou Municipal Government as the principal of Hankou No. 1 Central National School. I also served as the chairman of the Women’s Movement Committee of the Hankou Special City Party Headquarters. At that time, Xu Huizhi, the mayor of Hankou City, notified the Women's Committee to send representatives to the Japanese military garrison on Changchun Street in Hankou (the old Japanese concession) to hold discussions with Japanese women. Also participating in this discussion were Shi Mingshu (then the principal of the No. 18 Municipal Primary School and a member of the Women’s Movement Committee), Xie Bingying (the editor of the supplement of Hankou Heping Daily and a member of the Women’s Sports Committee), and Wu Keping (the principal of the No. 21 Primary School of Hankou Municipal Government). (also a member of the Women's Sports Association) and others. At the symposium, we were full of grief and indignation and accused the Japanese army of all kinds of heinous crimes in Wuhan, especially the persecution of our women and children, which is unprecedented and outrageous in human history.

At that time, the Japanese women summoned to participate in the symposium were all military prostitutes who were forced to come here by the Japanese army. They were also victims of the war of aggression. Our accusations caused their hearts to tremble, and they bowed their heads in silence, feeling deeply ashamed and remorseful. At the symposium, I denounced the war of aggression against China launched by Japanese militarism, which not only brought serious disasters to the Chinese people, but also caused unprovoked harm to the Japanese people. Japanese militarism is the common enemy of the Chinese and Japanese peoples. History has made a true record of blood and tears, and it will never be allowed to repeat itself.

In October of the same year, Wuhan’s party, government, military and various people’s organizations held a grand rally in the open square of Zhongshan Park in Hankou to celebrate the first Double Tenth National Day commemoration after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Chairman of the conference The stage is located on a wooden structure platform, and the meeting is chaired by Mayor Xu Huizhi. People from all walks of life came to the stage to deliver speeches celebrating the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. At the same time, they also complained about the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Wuhan. I took the stage on behalf of the women's circle in Wuhan to expose the heinous crimes of Japanese militarism that harmed our women and children. There were endless slogans at the conference: "Down with Japanese imperialism", "Blood debts must be repaid with blood", "Down with the aggressors", "Japanese imperialism, get out!"... The conference was held very enthusiastically, which greatly demonstrated the strength of the Chinese nation. Heroic and upright. The heinous crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in Wuhan. Gu Ruozhao, a former member of the CPPCC Committee of Jiang'an District of Wuhan City, wrote an article recalling the war-torn era. On the land of China, whether in the front, rear, or enemy-occupied areas, our people shared the same hatred and endured eight arduous and arduous years.
