During World War II, it is very difficult to make accurate statistics on how many comfort stations, entertainment centers, and entertainment centers the crazy Japanese army opened in China, and how many women fell into the hands of the Japanese army. The information currently stored shows that in terms of nationality, the comfort women in Shanghai at that time mainly came from Japan, North Korea and China. Comfort women in the Japanese army were called "P" by Japanese soldiers, Chinese women were called "China P", Japanese comfort women were called "Japan P", and Korean comfort women were called "Korea P" .
The Japanese women who were comfort women in China at that time could be divided into three types. The first type is prostitutes called from Japan. Recruiting prostitutes directly from Japan to serve as comfort women in China was one of the main sources of comfort women for the Japanese army in the early days of World War II. Later, as the scale of the Japanese war continued to expand, the demand for women in the military increased rapidly, and prostitutes in Japan could no longer meet the demand. The second type is from a relatively poor family. The parents sold their daughters to the military to reduce family expenses and reduce the family burden. The third type is those who voluntarily became comfort women under the propaganda and education of the Japanese army. It is hard for people today to imagine that there are women who would "voluntarily and voluntarily become comfort women." However, with the encouragement and propaganda of the Japanese army at that time, many women in Japan did voluntarily become comfort women. In the early days of World War II, many girls believed that this was a noble approach. It was worth dying to serve the emperor, let alone sacrifice. Although they are all voluntary, it is not difficult to understand that their work is extremely painful and they have to endure endless torture and torture.
