In 1994, the old man Hou Dong'e completely closed his eyes. This woman, who was once the most beautiful woman in Shanxi, was taken to the comfort camp by the Japanese devils one month after giving birth and became a tool for the Japanese army to vent their brutality.
The Japanese hurt not only her body, but also the spiritual pain that will never heal; not only did they destroy her right as a woman to be a mother, they also destroyed her entire life.
html For many years, seeking an apology from the Japanese government for the comfort women incident has become a heartache of Hou Dong'e. However, until Hou Dong'e passed away, she never received a response from the Japanese government.01
Hou Dong'e was born in 1921. Her parents have always made a living by farming. It is a very traditional Chinese family, with a loving mother and filial son, and a harmonious family.
It is said that women have changed in their eighteenth year, but Hou Dong'e has been beautiful since she was a child. When she was fifteen years old, she was already called "Gai Shanxi" by the folks "Gai Shanxi" . This word is a full description of Hou Dong'e's beauty. affim. At that time, marriages were all about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's advice. Under the arrangement of her parents, 15-year-old Hou Dong'e married to Gaozhuang Village, Meng County, Shanxi Province.
People who don’t know may only know that Hou Dong’e is the most beautiful in Shanxi, but those who really know know that Hou Dong’e is also a person with progressive thoughts.
In that era, she and her husband actively participated in the revolutionary cause. Hou Dong'e was the owner of the local women's rescue society, leading the villagers to resist the Japanese army. Hou Dong'e and her husband, who share the same revolutionary beliefs, have a very harmonious relationship. When their son was three years old, their daughter was also born.
After their daughter was born, in order to better fight against Japan, Hou Dong'e's husband followed the Communist Party's troops to the anti-Japanese front line, leaving his beautiful wife and young children at home.
However, in August 1939, shortly after Hou Dong'e's husband joined the army, the Japanese army came to Gaozhuang Village. In addition to burning, killing and looting, the Japanese also frantically arrested the women in the village, whether they were octogenarian women or young women. Young girls were all ravaged by the Japanese. In order to protect themselves, caves and cellars have become places where Murakami women hide from the Japanese.
The villagers were full of anger towards the Japanese army. When the Japanese army was mentioned, they wanted to tear them apart except for one villager named Guo Mengwa. This person has no big ambitions. He only wants to please the Japanese and becomes a traitor and lackey.
Seeing the Japanese catching women everywhere, he thought he was smart and gave his wife to the Japanese. He even gave his two daughters to the Japanese when the Japanese asked for a flower girl. Guo Mengwa's inhumane behavior indeed made the Japanese happy for a while, but it did not completely satisfy the Japanese.

It was at this time that Guo Mengwa thought of Hou Dong'e. Although she had given birth to two children, her appearance was by no means concealed and she could definitely amaze the Japanese. In the end, under the leadership of Guo Mengwa, the Japanese army attacked Hou Dong'e. She was found in the cellar of her home.
Although Hou Dong'e, who had a strong nature, was very resistant and refused to go with the Japanese even to the death, the Japanese army threatened Hou Dong'e with his three-year-old son and just one-month-old daughter. In desperation, Hou Dong'e could only Compromised.
After Hou Dong'e was taken away, her father-in-law and mother-in-law took on the task of taking care of the two children. However, one of them was old and the other was blind, and they really were unable to raise two children. In the end, Hou Dong'e's one-month-old daughter starved to death, and her son barely survived.
Hou Dong'e was taken into the comfort station by the Japanese devils and suffered ravage and humiliation by the Japanese army all day long. Because she had just given birth to a child, Hou Dong'e's body was very weak and she could not bear the Japanese's brutal behavior. However, the Japanese did not care about her body at all, and even 50 Japanese tortured her in one night.
At this time, Dong'e's heart was full of despair. She had also thought about dying. Fortunately, her two young children had been supporting her mentally, which allowed her to grit her teeth and persevere.
The Japanese army later sent Hou Dong'e to a gun tower, where there were many other women captured by the Japanese army, and their role was to satisfy the Japanese army's animal desires.
Life in the turret was even more humiliating. The Japanese did not allow women to wear clothes at all. They stayed naked in the turret all day long. As long as the Japanese army needed it, they could pull out a woman to vent at will, even if there were others around. The women here are riddled with physical and mental problems, but everyone encourages each other and survives with difficulty.

Hou Dong'e was tortured for more than a month in the dark place of the blockhouse. She herself could not remember how many Japanese soldiers ravaged her. She only knew that her body became weaker and weaker until she could only breathe.
Seeing this situation, the Japanese released Hou Dong'e and asked her family to take her home. However, after arriving home, Hou Dong'e was deeply saddened by the news that her daughter had passed away. It took a long time to get over the grief of losing her daughter.
At the same time, God played another joke on her. Hou Dong'e found out that she was pregnant with a Japanese child. In order to abort the child, she tried various methods, and all kinds of heavy work were tiring. After all the work, the child was indeed gone in the end, but she had damaged the foundation of her body and could no longer get pregnant.
The sorrow of life is far more than that. Hou Dong'e was waiting for her husband to come home, but her husband abandoned her with her son on the grounds of uncleanness, leaving her to bear the pain of life alone. In the rest of her life, although she had two marriages, she was looked down upon because of her past experiences, and her marriages came to an end.
Time came to the 1990s. Hou Dong'e united with many comfort women who had been ravaged by the Japanese army and came to Japan three times, asking the Japanese government to apologize and compensate them. However, the Japanese have once again set a new bottom line for shamelessness. Not only do they not acknowledge this period of history, they even maliciously distort it. These old people, led by Hou Dong'e, have not yet received an apology from the Japanese government.
