On February 4th, 2004, Li Xiuying, a 65,438-year-old survivor of the Nanjing Massacre, died suddenly. Twenty-seven days later, 85-year-old Zhang Qiaoyun appealed to people to pay attention to that period of history. Professor Jing, vice president of the Nanjing Massacre Research Association, believes that Zhang Qiaoyun witnessed the crimes and atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders in that year, and the bullets left in her body by the Japanese invaders 67 years ago made the elderly a "living textbook" about the Nanjing Massacre.
Testimony of villagers:
It has been seen that the bullet in Zhang Qiaoyun's gun has been stored in Zhang Qiaoyun's old man for 67 years, which is the most powerful evidence of the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders. At that time, the living old people in Lenghong Village of Yizheng witnessed the process of the Japanese invaders shooting Zhang Qiaoyun.
Like Zhang Qiaoyun, the 88-year-old Zhou Shijian experienced the most "bleeding" period of the Chinese nation. When it comes to the shooting of Zhang Qiaoyun by Japanese invaders, the old man still remembers it vividly. According to the old man, Zhang Qiaoyun is the daughter-in-law of the Kim family in Lenghong village. One afternoon, after the devils came to the village, they robbed, killed, raped and raped everywhere. Zhang Qiaoyun ran to the reeds with her children and in-laws, and the devil chased after her. Because Zhang and others got into the reeds, the devil shot a burst of fire and a bullet hit the right leg of Kim's daughter-in-law. This bullet is still in Zhang Qiaoyun's body.
Lenghong village was burned, killed and humiliated.
When the 88-year-old Zhou Shizhen introduced the bullets of the Japanese invaders in Zhang Qiaoyun, he also talked about the burning, killing and adultery of the Japanese invaders in Lenghong Village, Yizheng. Zhou said that once, two landed devils ran to hou zhuang, Lenghong Village, raped women and were killed by guerrillas of the * * * production party. The next day, a large number of devils entered Houzhuang. They saw houses burned down and people killing people. The scene was extremely horrible. What the old man Zhou Shizhen will never forget is that a pregnant daughter-in-law of Wang Xing in the same village was stopped by the devil during the roadside interrogation. Two demons pulled a pregnant woman from Wang Xing to the side of the road. Soon, the devil stripped the daughter-in-law of the Wangs of her clothes, and then gang raped her inhumanely. "These animals stripped Wang's daughter-in-law's clothes in front of many villagers, which is simply worse than animals," the old man said with a trembling voice.
According to the old man Zhou Shizhen, Wang's pregnant daughter-in-law died shortly after being gang-raped by the devil.

Cheng Ruifang: Recording the crime of Nanjing Massacre with a diary.
When Cheng Ruifang wrote this diary, she probably didn't think that she was the first person in China to record the Nanjing Massacre in the form of a diary. History? Peggy? She left an important file for future generations to study the history of the Nanjing Massacre, which became another ironclad proof of the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders.
Previously, Rabe's Diary, Dong's Diary and Walter Lin's Diary were all published in Chinese, which recorded the atrocities of the Nanjing Massacre from the perspectives of Germans, Americans and Japanese confessors respectively.
Excerpts from Cheng Ruifang Diary
65438+February 10
..... People who move into the safety zone are constantly on the road, and so are those who enter the school. There are no foreign cars. The men, women and children on the road carry them themselves and don't care about the sound of plane cannons. It's really sad ... we only live in women and children here and are not allowed to cook. Some meals are delivered at home, and there is not much to eat without food. Now we are going to open a porridge factory opposite the gate, and we will have porridge in two days. ......
65438+ February 1 1
Two babies died this morning, one was suffocated for more than a month, and the other was sick for more than three months ... Today the cannon hit Yizhou (Shirley-editor's note) ... (Our army (referring to the Kuomintang army, the same below) is about to escape, and the police are gone. A soldier robbed the North Gate Bridge, so did the common people. Several gendarmes maintained it and robbed several people. Shimonoseki set fire to many places in our army. ......
65438+February 13
Our army retreated last night, but we didn't hear gunshots this morning. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Japanese soldiers entered the city from Shuiximen ... Tonight, some people ran to the school, not a few. Japanese soldiers came to their house and told them to go because they wanted to sleep. The people who ran out were empty-handed ... these people were scared to death. ..... my heart is sour. It's really sad I don't know what will happen tomorrow. ......
65438+February 14
Today, more people came, all of them escaped from the safety zone, because Japanese soldiers went to their house to steal money and rape during the day. Many people were stabbed to death in the street, both inside and outside the safe area, and no one dared to go. Most young people were stabbed to death. ......
65438+February 17
It's already twelve o'clock, so I can't sleep sitting here writing a diary, because I tasted the conquered people tonight ... I dragged 1 1 girls tonight, and I don't know where to take them (rape). I'm going to cry. What will happen to these girls in the future? ......
65438+February 18
All the women dragged away last night were released this morning. One of them didn't come back. I don't know if she stays there or is embarrassed to come back ... It's really terrible. These (Japanese soldiers) are too wild to do anything. If they want to kill a person, they will kill him and rape him, regardless of age. There is a family of two mothers and daughters. My mother is over 60 years old and was raped by three soldiers in a row. My daughter is over 40 years old. Two soldiers were raped. They are widowed and almost inhuman. ......
65438+February 19
There were military police sleeping in front last night, but soldiers came in at night and raped many people in the living room at 500. Today, two soldiers arrived at No.500 during the day, and one soldier stood at the door of the house. One of the soldiers inside let others out, leaving a young woman raped ... these refugees are poor. Some of them were burned, some husbands were killed by Japanese soldiers, some were dragged away by Japanese soldiers, crying ... Japanese soldiers burned their houses as things and were afraid of the cold. First, they moved the furniture into the house and burned it to keep warm.
65438+February 20th
Many refugees came again today, and the third floor of No.200 was full of sleep. They want to be protected by the military police here, but in fact, the military police still drag the girls in the yard to rape, not people, but animals, no matter where they are. At noon today, soldiers came to drag two girls and take their things. ......
12/22
German consuls are not allowed to enter Shimonoseki. Naturally, he was on a warship. He doesn't want third countries to see their immoral behavior, and he doesn't want people to see dead bodies sleeping on the road. Some people only see the bodies missing on the road, and they simply treat China people as human beings. ......
65438+February 29th
Register men here today and bring all the men in the city to register. They suspect that some young people are left behind. These female refugees come out and admit that they are their fathers, brothers, husbands or relatives. An old lady summoned up her courage and recognized three people. In fact, she didn't recognize them either, just to save them. A young woman also came out to recognize her brother, came back to change clothes and came out to recognize her relatives. This man is really admirable. ..... Now Japanese soldiers clean the streets, bury the dead or burn them. There are too many dead people in the street.
Jinling women's university helps refugees.
Cheng Ruifang, 1875, a native of Wuchang, Hubei Province, graduated from Wuchang Nursing School in his early years. After graduation, Cheng Ruifang worked as a nurse in local women's hospitals in the United States, Israel and the United States, served as the principal of St. Hilida Children's Primary School in 1922, and worked as a dormitory supervisor in Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences (hereinafter referred to as Jinling Women's University, now the predecessor of Nanjing Normal University) in 1924.
1On August 5th, 937, when the Japanese bombed Nanjing, President Wu Yifang set up an emergency committee for Jinling Women's University, and Cheng Ruifang, then 62, was one of them. On the eve of the Japanese invasion of Nanjing in June, 5438+February this year, American Ms. Winnie Watling, Cheng Ruifang and Chen Feiran formed a three-member special committee, which was responsible for staying in the school and establishing the Jinling Women's University Refugee Center to accommodate homeless women and children after the fall of the "Capital".
After the fall of Nanjing, more than 20 westerners stranded in Nanjing, such as Rabe, vautrin and others, established an international security zone on a piece of land of about 3.86 square kilometers in the northwest of Nanjing in the spirit of humanitarianism, and rescued thousands of China refugees from the bullets of the Japanese army. During the Nanjing Massacre, Ms. Walter Lin wrote the diary of Walter Lin, which shocked China and foreign countries. Like Rabe's Diary and Dong's Diary, this diary has become an important evidence for foreigners to witness the history of the Nanjing Massacre and expose the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders. In Hua Qun Diary, Cheng Ruifang was mentioned many times and was affectionately called Mrs. Cheng.
An important witness in the Far East Military Tribunal
According to historical data, Cheng Ruifang went to the Japanese Far East Military Court to testify after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War 1946. She used her personal experience in the security zone of Jinling Women's University to accuse the Japanese army of atrocities committed in Nanjing, China. Cheng Ruifang's English resume found in the scattered archives of Jinling Women's University also mentioned that she had been to Japan.
On June 5438+0/kloc-0, researcher Guo Biqiang, director of the editing and research department of the Second Historical Archives of Nanjing and head of the research group of "Cheng Ruifang Diary Arrangement and Research", revealed that Cheng Ruifang's proof materials had recently been found and confirmed in the archives of the Far East Military Court. Cheng Ruifang said in her testimony: "I am 7 1 year-old, and I am the dormitory administrator of Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences. 1937 65438+In February, after the fall of Nanjing, the campus was declared as a safe area. Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences has accepted more than 654.38 million women and children. " Then Cheng Ruifang listed several evidences of rape, robbery and murder witnessed by Japanese troops on campus. Finally, she wrote: "I want to sign and seal this matter,1April 8, 946."
Grandmother in the eyes of grandson
According to the old alumni of Jinling Women's University, 1952 After the merger of departments of Jinling Women's University, Cheng Ruifang left Nanjing to live in Wuhan. 1962, President Wu Yifang also invited 87-year-old Cheng Ruifang to revisit the safety zone of Jinling Women's University at his own expense.
At present, Cheng Ruifang's grandchildren Cheng Guoguang and Cheng Guoxiang are both over 80 years old.
During the Nanjing Massacre, Cheng Guoxiang and Cheng Ruifang lived in the security zone of Jinling Women's University. He recalled: "After the Japanese captured Nanjing, my mother and sister stayed in Nanjing and lived with my grandmother. I was 10 years old at that time. Grandma said that no one was in charge of the school. She didn't want to leave when she was old, so she stayed, and Miss Hua Qun didn't leave. They take care of the refugees together at Jinling Women's Refugee Center in the international security zone. Grandma is always very busy, taking care of the dormitory and meals, and helping Miss Hua Qun do many things in the refugee camp. " Because the Japanese army often comes in to arrest people, and everyone is afraid, grandma often lets women wrap them in cloth, put some dust on their faces and hide them in quilts to prevent accidents. However, Cheng Guoxiang was deeply impressed that he often saw grandma writing with a pen under the lamp in her room at night, because grandma was in charge of many things, which he thought was bookkeeping.
More than 60 years later, I found a diary that has been dusty for a long time.
On February 7th, 2000 1,1,researchers from Nanjing China's Second Historical Archives found a diary that had been dusty for more than 60 years while sorting out the scattered files of Jinling Women's University. The original name of the diary was 1937, the diary of a colleague who stayed in the Golden School after the fall of the capital, and later it was called the Golden School Diary and Cheng Ruifang Diary after the fall of the capital. The researchers found that the diary was written in pen and calligraphy, with more than 30,000 words, and the starting and ending dates were 1 937,65438+February 8 to 1938 and March1day, respectively, which was the time when the Japanese army carried out mass killings in the city after the fall of Nanjing, the "capital" in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. Moreover, Cheng Ruifang's record day by day has never stopped. The contents of the diary and the diary of Walter Lin confirm each other.
After that, Guo Biqiang, a researcher in the Second Historical Archives of China, was responsible for sorting out and studying Cheng Ruifang Diary. Cheng Ruifang mentioned in his diary that after writing the diary every day, he should hide it quickly to avoid being found. In his diary, Cheng Ruifang strongly accused the Japanese of the heinous crimes of burning, killing and looting inside and outside the security zone through his own personal experience; Praised the deeds of vautrin and other international people who worked hard to help and protect refugees; It tells about the hardships of life in the safe area, and reveals the fact that the safe area cannot guarantee the safety of refugees and the resistance of conscientious China people.
Sun, vice president of the Nanjing Massacre History Research Association of the Japanese invaders and a researcher at the Institute of History of Jiangsu Academy of Social Sciences, said, "So far, in our field of vision, we haven't seen an original diary of China people recording the Nanjing Massacre. The discovery and publication of Cheng Ruifang Diary just filled this gap. "

Vautrin, an American, worked in Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences in the autumn of19/9, and returned to China in May of 1940.
The Diary of Walter Lin, with more than 500,000 words, truly and in detail records the whole process of the Japanese army from bombing and attacking Nanjing to the Nanjing Massacre and its colonial rule in Nanjing with a unique sensitivity and emotion in foreign women. As Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences was a refugee camp for female refugees, it became an important target of Japanese sexual violence during the Nanjing Massacre. As the head of the refugee camp, vautrin's diary is the most convincing evidence to expose the sexual atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders.
Rabe's Diary is a true record made by john rabe, a German who witnessed the Nanjing Massacre. It is the most abundant and well-preserved historical material for studying the Nanjing Massacre. 1937 On the eve of the Japanese attack on Nanjing, Rabe, together with a dozen foreign missionaries, professors, doctors and businessmen, initiated the establishment of the Nanjing Safe Zone, and served as the chairman of the International Committee of the Safe Zone, providing temporary shelter for about 250,000 China civilians.
Rabe's diary describes the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese invaders in Nanjing, which is very specific, detailed and true. While writing a diary, Rabe also carefully preserved more than 80 photos taken on the spot and explained them in detail.
