Because he was waiting for an appraisal report, the past two days have been particularly slow for Wang Jianqing.
This appraisal concerns the authenticity of the identities of the three anti-Japanese martyrs, and is expected to unveil a tragic war past through the fog of history. The appraisal report was issued by Zhang Jizong, the former chief forensician of the Physical Evidence Appraisal Center of the Ministry of Public Security, the professor of the of the People's Public Security University of China, and the Zhejiang Dian Judicial Appraisal Center.
Anti-Japanese War Tombs of the fallen soldiers
is in Yantang Village, Guali Town, Xiaoshan. It has been transformed into a Zen Temple for a long time. The temple has been built for more than 700 years and has been abandoned and rebuilt. As a villager in this village, 55-year-old Wang Jianqing is the former head of the temple.
According to historical records, in 1940, more than 130 soldiers resisted stubbornly in the temple and were massacred by bloody Japanese troops, and the temple was also razed to the ground by Japanese artillery fire. This history has traces to follow on a stone tablet standing in the temple.
Follow Wang Jianqing to a side hall. When you open the back door, you will see three tombs standing in the backyard. There are tombstones in front of the tomb. The tombstone in the middle clearly reads the "Memorial to the Deadly Soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War".
"The monument was erected in 2003, which is actually a joint tomb." Wang Jianqing introduced that at the end of the 20th century, a group of initiators began to discuss fundraising for reconstruction of Huacheng Temple. While cleaning up the ruins and digging the foundation, a large number of bones and some soldiers' relics were found. People gathered these scattered remains together to build this tomb of soldiers who died in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Wang Jianqing also took out a bag of precious items, which contained hat badges, buttons, and many rusty bullet shells. Except for a small number of these historically significant physical evidences were picked up by villagers, they were more discovered on site during excavation.
Authoritative experts participated in the identification of bones
In mid-October, outside the wall in the northeast corner of the temple and under a big tree by the river in the village, villagers dug out a large amount of bones while working. In order to confirm the origin of these bones, the villagers collected them and sent them to Huacheng Zen Temple, hoping to find an authoritative expert to identify them. "If it is really the remains of anti-Japanese soldiers, we should build a cemetery to commemorate them."
Through the Xiaoshan Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, Wang Jianqing contacted Professor Zhang Jizong. Two days ago, when he heard about the cause and effect of the incident, Professor Zhang was deeply moved and flew from Beijing to Xiaoshan , and brought three forensic doctors from Zhejiang Dian Judicial Appraisal Center.
As a famous forensic anthropologist in my country, Zhang Jizong created a variety of methods for identifying skeleton, gender, and height in Chinese people, and promoted it nationwide, and cultivated a large number of grassroots forensic forensic anthropology identification techniques. He has participated in forensic anthropology identification work in major cases many times, including the 118 Chongqing Air crash, the Busan Air China South Korea Air crash, and the nameless skull case in Gansu. Especially in the identification of skull appearance, he has a deep attainment, presided over the identification of martyr Zhao Shangzhi's remains, the identification of photos of historical figures, and the identification of Huang Feihong's and . After
formulated a detailed and rigorous work plan, the expert team led by Zhang Jizong began to divide the work and cooperate. They set up a workbench at Huacheng Zen Temple, from cleaning bones to sorting them, to taking photos and keeping certificates, the whole work was orderly. It took most of the day to clean and identify the three bones.
"From the on-site identification, it meets the characteristics of human structure , and some bones have traces of burning." Zhang Jizong said that based on the relevant physical evidence collected, further analysis and research is needed, and a written identification report will be issued after the results are released. What is the result of
? Wang Jianqing and the villagers are waiting patiently, and we will continue to pay attention to it at that time.
