Composite of Survivor Stories A testimony from an 82 year old woman showing what she went through during the Nanjing Massacre when she was in her early twenties. Her name is Wen Sunshi, and she was just married the year before. Wen’s family took refuge at a nearby company building. On their way they witnessed Japanese warships mow down Chinese troops trying to escape over the river. Eventually six or seven troops arrived to find us. Each man armed with guns and knives hanging by their waists. They then took six or seven maidens from the refugees, including Wen. The man forced Wen to take off her pants or he would kill her. After the rapping she was released by the officer saying, “Opened path, opened path.” After this the owners of the business took about eighteen maidens down to the egg beating room, where Wen lived in there for over a year, until returning home. Wen’s cousin was taken by the Japanese army and never returned at age eighteen. Wen even witnessed an elderly women get brutally murdered by the Japanese, with her stomach slashed opened. (Sunshi, 2012) In another interview, a man which was only six years old at the time witnessed his aunt getting murdered and never seeing his dad again, this man 's name is Mr. Chen Deshou. Mr. Chen talks about how the Japanese started a fire at the end of the alley, in which he lived on, that his father went out to put the fire out, but never came back. On that same day a Japanese soldier, came into his house and ordered he wanted a woman. Chen’s mother was pregnant at the time so instead he took Chen 's aunt. The soldier took her into another room and was going to rape her. Chen stated that his aunt was an educated woman and would not let the soldier rape her. So she began to struggle ... ... middle of paper ... ...You can tell that Japan made more than a mistake with the Nanjing Massacre, although this blunder can be forgiven. Japanese people and government need to admit their wrong doings, so something identical will never happen again. Hyakuta stats that, “There is no reason to teach such things to children” (The Diplomat). Although it is a disgrace to the country, kids should learn from those mistakes, to learn what not to do and how to be better prevail. Kids are the future of the world and they should have examples of what to do and also what not to do. There are rules that are not written, although, when these morals drift away from their nature, terrible things can occur. Essentially, Japan was like a sociopath before and during World War II. They had no rules, they obeyed no command, and they went away from their traditions. Human behavior is a strange thing, every

  • Analysis Of The Death Of Woman Wang By Jonathan D. Spence

    1361 Words  | 3 Pages

    Jonathan D. Spence weaves together fact and fiction in his book The Death of Woman Wang. Approaching history through the eyes of those who lived it, he tells a story of those affected by history rather than solely recounting the historical events themselves. By incorporating factual evidence, contextualizing the scene, and introducing individual accounts, he chronicles events and experiences in a person’s life rather than episodes in history. Spence pulls together the narrative from a factual local history of T’an-ch’eng by scholar Fenge K’o-ts’an, the memoir of magistrate Huang Liu-hung, and fictional stories by writer P’u Sung-ling. The book closely resembles an historical fiction while still maintaining the integrity of an historical reconstruction.

  • The Raping of Nanking by Iris Chang

    811 Words  | 2 Pages

    History will never forget the pain because it takes an ethnic or even a nation to remember it. The Nanjing Massacre, which is my home country’s pain and shame, is not going to be forgotten and ignored either. The Raping of Nanking by Iris Chang, a Chinese American writer, has reshaped my view on the atrocities the Japanese soldiers committed and raises a question: Why do we need to remember the past and face it? Remembering history does not just mean to be blocked by the past and stop moving on, but looking for the lessons the history has taught us and prevent the world from making the same mistakes again. The Rape of Nanking uses Nanjing Massacre as the core and analyzes the holocaust from the national perspective of China, Japan and Western countries; it also analyzes this piece of history that has been distorted for half of the century.

    The tragic event occurred because Japanese soldiers were taught that the Chinese people were inferior and a lesser people. The soldiers had learned this from the bushido code. Originally, the bushido code was for Japan’s samurai class to guide them to chivalry and honor. The code was modified so that it, “emphasized fanatical devotion to the state, aggression, lack of concern for self, disdain for Japan’s enemies, and the glory inherent in fighting and dying for the Japanese emperor” (The Rape of Nanking). This new modification discarded the codes of chivalry and compassion. Th...

  • The Pros And Cons Of The Atomic Bomb On Japan

    1456 Words  | 3 Pages

    The problem with this is that we have to keep in mind that it’s not a democracy in Japan and they could not just take a vote on whether they will keep fighting or not, it was a strict dictatorship, and whatever the leader said they had no choice in it and had to do what they were told. So an example of this would be the atomic bomb dropping, some people say well the Americans had a choice to not drop it, therefore they are all immoral people because it was their decision to do it, but, in reality no one took a vote and it was the decision of the president and his advisors. The president decided that it was the best decision and that is the decision that was taken, despite what people would say about morals and that we shouldn’t do it. Same thing with Japan the Emperor decided it was the thing to do and that is exactly what they did. Also when the talks about surrender were going on; “The Japanese military command rejected the request for unconditional surrender, but there were indications that a conditional surrender was possible.”(U.S History.org) So there was clearly a way around the atomic bomb but the choice to drop it was taken anyways. There are some decisions that even in a democracy, the people would not have a choice, and this was one of the decisions for both America and Japan, so we cannot blame them for not surrendering and then killing a

  • Yuki Tanaka's Japan's Comfort Women

    1733 Words  | 4 Pages

    As we first get into the book, we find out that the origins of comfort stations i.e. military brothels are unknown, but official documents strongly suggest that the Japanese Imperial Forces created comfort stations roughly around 1931-1932 for Japanese sailors. In the introduction we get some of Tanaka’s personal opinions and thoughts, and a vivid account of what it felt like to be a comfort woman by a Filipina. “Twelve soldiers raped me in quick succession, after which I was given half an hour rest. Then twelve more soldiers followed. I bled so much and was in such pain; I could not even stand up” (p.1). During the war, the Japanese could see that their soldiers were committing mass rape toward civilians. That led military leaders to ask the Japanese government for comfort stations to be made in order to prevent such crimes. This is a quote from a Japanese Lieutenant-General in 1932. “Recently I have heard a lot of scandalous stories, including that some of our soldiers wander around seeking women. Such a phenomenon is hard to prevent as fighting becomes less frequent. Therefore the establishment of appropriate facilities must be accepted as a good cause and should be promoted” (p.10). They were also created to boost soldier morale and to prevent the spread of VD among fellow troops. In the first couple of chapters Tanaka explains how women from different countries were procured into working as sex slaves and how they were brought into such dealings. The women used for comfort houses were at first professional Japanese prostitutes, and poor Japanese and Korean women. They were usually recruited by an agent who would go to a specific town and look for girls to recruit. Of course deceit was used to get these girls to come in that they were promised a nice paying job, food, and shelter if they came along. The recruiting of Korean women was a way of the Japanese to colonize their newly gai...

  • Personal Narrative: The Hero's Journey

    The Hero’s Journey is a basic template utilized by writers everywhere. Joseph Campbell, an American scholar, analyzed an abundance of myths and literature and decided that almost all of them followed a template that has around twelve steps. He would call these steps the Hero’s Journey. The steps to the Hero’s Journey are a hero is born into ordinary circumstances, call to adventure/action, refusal of call, a push to go on the journey, aid by mentor, a crossing of the threshold, the hero is tested, defeat of a villain, possible prize, hero goes home.

    The tragedy consisting of rape, murder, and looting will never disappear from the city or its inhabitants. Thanks to John Rabe and several others, thousands of Chinese were able to survive. The history of the massacre is slowly dying, but because of books and museums, the history lives on. The Japanese have not repaired Nanjing or educated their own country about their own mistakes. The Japanese still refuse to believe that the massacre even occurred, even though there are pictures of the event and vital proof.

  • The Exploitation of Asian Women in the Japanese Comfort Women System During World War II

    2010 Words  | 5 Pages

    War is a devastating event in which a country is in a state of aggression and resentment. Although war has its effects on almost every civilian residing in that country, historically people of minority groups and of low social class suffer the most. During the Pacific War, the Japanese Imperial Army was struggling with many cases of rape and the spread of venereal diseases among its armed forces. In order to cope with these ongoing issues, they schemed an idea to invent a comfort women system. The system started off with real Japanese prostitute volunteers, but then turned to tricking and abducing women into the system once volunteers ran out. As the Pacific War continued, Japanese forces began establishing “comfort stations” in many other parts of Asia. When studying the Japanese Comfort Women system of World War II, it is apparent who the people who suffered the most were. The Japanese Armed Forces sought after a certain group(s) of women who were seen as easy drafts into the comfort women system because of the many disadvantages associated with being a woman of a low social class and/or non-Japanese race during the World War II.

  • Analysis Of No-Name Woman

    1348 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although she got pregnant by someone other than her husband they did not look at the good and joyful moments the child could bring. Having a baby can be stressful, especially being that the village was not doing so great. The baby could have brought guilt, anger, depression, and loneliness to the aunt, family, and village lifestyle because having a baby from someone other than your husband was a disgrace to the village, based on the orientalism of women. Society expected the women to do certain things in the village and to behave a particular way. The author suggests that if her aunt got raped and the rapist was not different from her husband by exploiting "The other man was not, after all, much different from her husband. They both gave orders; she followed. ‘If you tell your family, I 'll beat you. I 'll kill you. Be, here again, next week." In her first version of the story, she says her aunt was a rape victim because "women in the old China did not choose with who they had sex with." She vilifies not only the rapist but all the village men because, she asserts, they victimized women as a rule. The Chinese culture erred the aunt because of her keeping silent, but her fear had to constant and inescapable. This made matters worse because the village was very small and the rapist could have been someone who the aunt dealt with on a daily basis. Maxine suggests that "he may have been a vendor
