There is a crematorium with a chimney in the east of Siping Station, and the cremation of the dead in the nearby ten miles and eight towns has to come here, but this place has been around for some years, in the earliest times it was still a small boiler room, heating for some of the residents of the small building at that time, and later the puppet Manchurian period was expanded by the Japanese and changed into a crematorium, which has been used to this day.

There is no crematorium built for no reason, let alone for the local people, this crematorium is actually built because of a mine. This may make even more inconsistency when it comes to this, and there is no relationship between the mine and the crematorium, so why should they be involved? I have to elaborate on this.

Most of the non-renewable consumable resources we use daily are obtained from deep underground, and naturally this mine is dug out of resources such as coal ore from the ground. Mines have been the most dangerous work since ancient times, and the mortality rate in the old days was even higher than that of soldiers in wartime, especially when working without any conditions.

If you want to say that the Japanese have made a lot of evils, they have invaded China in order to obtain vast land and a large number of resources, for the occupied areas, the demand for resources is very greedy, eager to transport everything that can be used back to the island country, the coal as the main driving force of industry, that is even more crazy to take, for the ordinary Chinese people to commit a lot of inhumane crimes.

There are a lot of coal ore resources in the three eastern provinces, and during the puppet Manchurian period, the mines were drilled everywhere, even if there was only a relatively narrow and scarce vein, they would not let go. This would be a fool's act today, because if there are not enough resources underground, then the manpower and material resources consumed for excavation will not be able to be earned. But the situation at that time was a little different, the mine did not use large excavation machinery at all, and there were no small ones, they were all dug down by manpower. All that was consumed was manpower and human life, and the workers at that time were the Chinese people who were caught and forced to work.

The reason why Hu Dawei said that he knew about this was because he had been arrested to dig coal before, and he had also seen the cruelty of the Japanese with his own eyes.

During the puppet Manchurian period, Hu Da's father fled to the mountains and forests with him, and lived by hunting in the mountains. Hu Dabao's father has good skills, in the barren mountains that were originally tossed, he was stunned to catch a lot of animals, and he made a living by eating the meat of these animals and wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains.

But the good times didn't last long, and then the devils searched the mountains and swept the mountains, and as a result, Hu Dabao and his father were arrested, and they were sent to the mine by truck along with the villagers of several nearby villages. Let them go digging coal.

The place was a kind of concentration camp, with a very large labor force, and the working workers had little time to rest, had nothing to eat, and worked in the mines hungry all day, as if they had to be squeezed dry.

None of the people who worked were professional miners, and few of them knew about it, so the Japanese told them where to dig. They dug wherever they went, and all the coal they dug up was packed in bamboo baskets and carried from person to person to the ground. There are no mechanical flow belts to supplement people, and there are generally hundreds or thousands of workers working underground at the same time. Because of this, the mining disaster happens almost every day, either a collapse or a permeable water, and the worst is the deflagration of the gas leakage, usually a few people and dozens of people die in an accident. The largest was the 1942 gas explosion at the Benxihu Coal Mine, which alone killed 1,549 people, and it took more than 10 days to clean up the bodies.

Human life was particularly worthless at that time, especially in China. Too many people are dying. The outside world could not be known, so the Japanese concentrated on building several crematoriums, all in cities surrounded by mines, so that a lot of time could be saved on the route of transporting corpses, and the crematorium in Siping was rebuilt because of this.

Where there are many dead people, there is a lot of resentment, this sentence is actually very universal, and it can be used in many places, such as the grave circle, which has been said a lot. But crematoriums are more crowded than cemeteries, especially the morgues where the bodies are stored, and the row of incinerators sprayed with oil, and sometimes you can even hear the sound of the corpses crying and the shrill screams of the incinerators.

It's scary to say, but during the Japanese occupation of Manchuria, there were a lot of unexplained horrors about the laborers, most of which were in the crematorium, followed by the weaving mill and the slaughterhouse, where a similar horrific incident occurred.

After the Japanese army occupied the three eastern provinces, they began to build factories according to local conditions, so that there was no need to ship materials from the Japanese mainland, so there were many large factories such as steel, weaving, and canned food in the three eastern provinces at that time, among which there was a weaving factory in Jilin, which produced cloth for military uniforms, and there were also many local laborers working.

Although there are many looms in this weaving factory, there are also many workers, most of whom are women, from teenage children to middle-aged women in their forties and fifties, as long as their limbs are sound and their eyes are not dazzled, and they are also forced laborers to eat very little coarse grain every day, and if they do not complete the task one day, then there is no food at all, let alone wages.

One day in the weaving mill, listening to the humming of the loom, the female workers were working tremblingly, for fear of making the steward feel that they were lazy and beaten, but there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who seemed to have not eaten much for a few days, and suddenly turned black in front of her eyes and planted herself in the working loom, and was poked by the dense stitches that were moving forward and backward quickly. But at that time, many people wanted to save her, but the girl's hair was rolled inside, and she couldn't pull it out, and the person in charge didn't turn off the machine in time.

This incident did not attract too many people's attention, because the life of the laborer was not valuable, and when he died, he would be replaced, and the corpse would be saved up and sent to the crematorium for cremation, which became a habit.

Everyone knows that the machine is dangerous, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous, which frightened the workers who were working at that time, but no one dared to say anything, so they could only work as usual.

The loom that killed the laborers was several meters long, and half of it was stained red with blood, and not only did it waste a lot of fabric, but it also damaged the rubber belt, and it took a whole day to get it up and start working again.

At the beginning, it was almost the same as before, working hard just for a bite to eat, but the machine that killed people that day was not right, it always made a mistake to park, and Yan zhòng affected the tasks stipulated at the time, and the machine always made a strange sound before parking, which seemed to be like a woman's scream.

At that time, people were superstitious, saying that the ghost of the girl was hidden in the loom after her death, and this incident caused panic among the laborers within a few days, and no one dared to approach the vicinity of the machine when they worked, for fear that a hand would suddenly reach out from it and drag herself into a sieve.

But the laborers belong to the lowest people, they have no free rights at all, and their role is also limited to work and production, which delays the progress of the work, which is not small, and it alarmed the top at that time, it was a Japanese businessman, he specialized in selling military clothing and bedding, and the workers were played by the local people, the businessman only made money and did not lose, and he worked harder to please the army, so when he learned that there was a batch of cloth production, it was delayed and could not be provided to the subordinate garment factory on time, and it was on fire at that time. Go down to the factory and see what's going on.

The arrival of the boss naturally made those stewards panic, in this textile factory, in addition to the three supervisors, the remaining dozen stewards are all Chinese, and even the soldiers in charge of guarding are pseudo-soldiers, and their own people guard their own people.

This boss had done business in China before, and at that time it was still a normal service trade business, earning only some gross profits, but he couldn't cover the large number of goods that went away, and he made a lot of money. Later, with the outbreak of the war, he cooperated with the state to establish the factory in Jilin, which used to be a business, but now it is a robbery, which is not a good thing. But he thought that after spending some time in China, he could speak some Chinese, and ordinary conversations could basically be understood.

When he learned that a female worker was poked to death by a textile machine, he was shocked, and quickly ran to the side of the machine to check, for fear that the machine was broken, and those who didn't know thought he was sad because he was dead.

This boss brought in the workers who repaired the machine and asked them to overhaul it, and to repair the machine in the shortest possible time, there must be no more delay. The boss told him, and the maintenance workers naturally complied, so they spent a day overhauling the machine and making sure that there was no problem before leaving.

But I don't know why, when the machine is repaired and then restarted to work, the thread is always broken when spinning, and it can break a lot, and the semi-finished cloth spun before is wasted.

The maintenance worker was found again, re-checked and adjusted, and started the machine in front of the boss and many people, and tried to spin some cloth. At first, it was all good, the boss thought it was repaired, but before he was happy, the textile machine began to tremble, and then the row of axons on the top rotated, and the white thread was pulled into the machine, but the thread that came out was actually black, and it was still glowing, not like a thread but like hair.
