Chapter 142: The Suffering and Rebirth of Comfort Women

The target plane, Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, Yanhuang Continent, in an office cave.

"What do you say, it can't be! How so?! Wang Fan asked loudly.

"Mr. Wang, I really didn't lie to you, that's the case." Xiao Yan, who had been in charge of taking care of Wang Fan's daily life, was frightened by Wang Fan's sudden change in tone, and replied with a tremor at the corner of her mouth.

What is Wang Fan angry about? It turned out that when he got up early this morning and saw Xiao Yan, who usually tidied up his residence for him, Wang Fan felt that the other party had taken care of him for so long and it was a little hard, so he took the initiative to chat, and at the end of the conversation, Wang Fan took the initiative to say, "If there is anything you need to help, just ask, as long as you don't exceed your ability, you will definitely help Yunyun." ”

What I didn't expect was that Xiao Yan didn't put forward any requirements for herself, but said, "I hope Wang Fan can think of a way to save those comfort women who were sent back to their respective villages after Shanxi was recovered." ”

"How so? The villagers in the same village, not only do they not pity them, but also do not let them live in new houses and cross new bridges? Wang Fan couldn't figure out the rationality of this kind of thinking logic, and still asked in disbelief.

"Ahem~, Mr. Wang, you have returned from overseas and do not understand the customs here. Although everyone in the village knew that they were coerced to leave, once they came back alive, they instinctively disliked them, thinking that they were dirty and ineligible to live in a new house in the village. Even if our staff sent to persuade the villagers to agree, in reality, the surrounding villagers would still instruct their children to walk around where they lived, and they were not allowed to participate in activities such as sacrifices and cleaning in the whole village (the facts of the Heavenly Search, not their own fiction). Xiao Yan replied.

"But I just don't understand, it's all from the same village, why is this happening?"

"I can't explain this, this kind of atmosphere does not exist in one village or two villages, but most of the villages have this problem, and now most of these women who were rescued by our government from the comfort station, most of them hide in the house, and they don't come out all day and night, even if they wash their bodies with soap all day, they still can't change the views of the people in the village, and they are very painful and sad." Xiao Yan added.

"But they are all poor people, I remember reading these women's records of being coerced by the Japanese and making comfort women, most of them are peasants who can't read a single word, after being caught by the Japanese invaders, they are forced to take off their clothes and serve the beasts, if there is resistance, they are directly cut off left and right**, and then they are bitten to death and eaten alive by the military dogs released by the Japanese invaders, and under the bloody coercion, the rest of the people dare not resist at all, so they can only compromise and seek perfection." Wang Fan once flipped through some archival records and recalled.

"More than that!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan shook her head and answered: "I once helped in a village, and I happened to meet one of them and chatted for an afternoon. She told me that there were many ways to torture them, such as stripping them naked at first, not giving them food for four days, starving them with no strength, and then hundreds of Japanese soldiers lined up and entered the huts of more than 70 of their sisters in batches and ravaged them. If there is still fierce resistance, they will directly tie their limbs to the bed with belts, split their thighs, chisel their teeth with a hammer, put them in the courtyard, and let hundreds of soldiers in front of them, without stopping and raping, and the one who lasted the longest was only played to death after more than 300 people.

And once they encounter the Japanese who have come down from the front line, they are even more vicious, not only beating them with belts, but also asking them to drink their urine! (There is no material in heaven here, there is a lot of information about comfort women on the Internet, and readers who don't believe it can search for it)" Xiao Yan said, while involuntarily flashing the scene at that time in her mind, and she felt chills all over her body. Unconsciously crossed his arms and hugged himself.

"Didn't the border government do anything?" Wang Fan asked.

"What's the best way to do it? Unless they leave their hometown, but out of our base, where is there a good place, and their bodies are ruined, they can't have children for the rest of their lives, and they can't get married, so Mr. Wang, please bother to see if there is a way to help them! Xiao Yan said this, her eyes flowing.

"Don't be like this, I want to think about it, let me think about it!" After Wang Fan finished speaking, he sat at the table and pondered, and did not leave the house for a whole morning.

In the afternoon, Comrade Chen Yun, who heard that Wang Fan had not come out to eat, knocked on the door of Wang Fan's cave.

"What's wrong? Wang Fan, is you feeling unwell? Chen Yun asked.

"Huh? It's Uncle Chen, sit, sit quickly, alas~~ It's not that you're not feeling well, it's like that! Wang Fan got up to entertain and recounted what Xiao Yan said in the morning.

"Alas~~ We don't have a good way for the time being, the work in the countryside is very complicated, the idea of the grassroots people is like that, we have done a lot of explanation work, but we can't change the reality that the surrounding villagers don't interact with them, although they live in a new house, but very lonely." Chen Yun had heard some news to some extent, and continued: "If the parents are alive, it will be better or less, if the relatives in the family are all dead, then only they are left alone, and the real life is indeed like a year." ”

"How many of these comfort women were there, and how many were left alone?" Wang Fan handed Chen Yun a cigarette, lit one himself, took a puff and asked.

"It turned out that there were about 800~1,000 people in Shanxi, and then the Yanhuang army of the Japanese invaders gathered 200,000 troops, so the number of people captured also rose, and we roughly counted them, and finally survived and were rescued by about 4,000 people. We who are left alone have not done the statistics, but it is estimated that 2000 should be there! Chen Yun has all kinds of data in his mind all the year round, and replied quickly.

"2,000 people? In this case, I have an idea, how can you see how this is ......" After Wang Fan heard the number of people, he estimated it, and he used the plan he came up with in the morning, and he felt that it was feasible, so he spoke.

The next day, in Zhangjiazhuang, western Shanxi Province, Zhang Xing (a comfort woman who had been rescued and sent back to her village) was in a daze when she heard a knock on the door outside the house.

"Who?" Zhang Xing didn't react much, and walked over to look at the door slowly, only to see a female Red Party worker standing outside.

"What's the matter?"

"Hello, my name is Liu Fenghong, and I was ordered to take you to a place." Liu Fenghong, who was outside the house, said.

A few minutes later, Zhang Xing, who had long been accustomed to listening to orders, did not hesitate or ask too much, Mu Mu got on a farm three-wheeled motorcycle in a daze, and drove away from Zhangjiazhuang "suddenly".

Two hours later, a train bound for Outer Mongolia was full of comfort women like Zhang Xing, who had been rescued alone, and the whole carriage was quiet, no one spoke or asked, as if no one was interested in where they would be sent, they were indifferent, maybe for them, their hearts had already died.

At 4 p.m., after a long day of traveling, Zhang Xing and a dozen other people got off at a station in northwestern Mongolia, where a convenient transportation network had been established and a military truck was ordered to wait.

Twenty or thirty minutes later, as the military truck stopped, the group came to a small valley with thick grass, and in the valley there was a row of small white houses.

"Get off, please get off!" The driver greeted. In front of the car, there were hundreds of lively and lovely children who heard the sound of the car horn and ran out of the small house, which turned out to be a children's welfare home resettlement site.

As the Japanese expelled a large number of Yanhuang people into Shanxi and Shaanxi, many people died of disease and starvation on the way, leaving behind children as young as four or five years old and as old as teenagers, with a total of more than 100,000 children. When the Red Party decided to emigrate 1 million to Outer Mongolia, considering that these children had lost their relatives and there was no one to turn to in Shaanxi and Shanxi, they set up a number of children's welfare homes and scattered them, and because Outer Mongolia needed a large number of Yan and Huang people, about 40,000 of them were arranged in the beautiful Outer Mongolia area.

"The vast grassland will cultivate their broad minds!" Wang Fan thinks that the environment determines a person's growth, so he hopes to be able to thrive here, and through the influence of generation after generation, the centripetal force of Outer Mongolia will become stronger and stronger, and these children are the first seeds to be sown, and will grow into the aborigines of Outer Mongolia who have a close relationship with Yanhuang in the future.

"A new environment, beautiful grasslands, clear blue skies, and the fact that they are surrounded by children (because they are no longer able to have children, and the culture of the country at that time, the older they get, the more lonely they feel), here they can start a real new life."

Although Zhang Xing and her family were still very uncomfortable at first, due to the simplicity of the surrounding environment, they looked at the children's hopeful eyes and innocent smiles every day, and slowly, everyone opened their hearts and integrated into the daily life of the welfare home.

Make breakfast for the children in the morning, take literacy lessons with the children in the morning, take turns riding Menggu horses in the afternoon, visit the beautiful scenery around the valley, the snowy peaks in the distance, the flowers in the distance, smell the fragrance of the earth in the air, and gradually, those bad fragments of memories are filtered and precipitated by the subconscious.

"Mom, I can't find my shoes!"

"Mom, I'm hungry!"

"Mom, my brother bullied me!"

Zhang Xing, who became the surrogate mother of 8 children, devoted herself wholeheartedly to it, and every day was full of arrangements, but she felt very happy, felt needed and loved. She likes the children, and the children like her, it's very simple and simple.

High above the welfare home.

"Wang Fan, what you do is still a bit overbearing and self-conscious." Yadi said in Wang Fan's brain.

"I know, but if they stay in their hometown, they will probably be depressed for the rest of their lives." Wang Fan looked at them on the screen and replied: "After a month, if you don't like it here and still want to go back to your hometown, I can ask the army to arrange another pick-up, and it is up to them to decide what to do in the end, just ...... Alas, I didn't expect that. What is terrible is people's hearts, and the first to reject and dislike them will be the villagers in their own villages. Wang Fan sighed.

"This reminds me of a post that you later reposted on Weibo, a bit similar." Yadi answered.

"Hereafter? Something similar is happening as well? No, is it a street girl? When Wang Fan heard Yadi's words, he raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No, it was Li Zhaoxing who mentioned in his speech at the Tsinghua Bauhinia Lecture Hall that he saw a Yanhuang child who had transferred from the mainland to study in the Stars and Stripes Republic, and asked him what was the difference between going to school in the two places. The child said that he liked the Star-Spangled Banner elementary school because his classmates would help him push the cart when they saw him, but in China, when his classmates saw him, they shouted, 'The lame man is coming, the lame man is coming.' Yadi said.

"......, take your time, we still have a long way to go, and there are still a lot of things that need to be done, let's improve little by little." After Wang Fan heard this, he was silent for a while and said to himself.
