| Video Discription | The horrific scenes of the 1937 Nanjing Massacre still haunt those who survived, while they live each day with the hope that the Japanese government will someday apologize for slaughtering their loved ones. More than 300,000 Chinese were killed inhumanly by the Japanese troops in Nanjing between December 13, 1937 and January 1938. Less than 100 documented survivors of the Nanjing Massacre are still alive. Yang Cuiying, 93, is one of them, and she still hasn’t been able to get rid of the dark hours when she lost her family right in front of her eyes. During a period when the city got continuously bombed by the Japanese troops, the then capital Nanjing was relocated to southwest China’s Chongqing. While the rich fled, those with no money and nowhere else to go stayed back and gathered at the city's refugee camps. On December 13, 1937, Japanese troops invaded the camps and slaughtered those living inside with rifles and bayonets, Yang recalled. "I was only 12; I was young. My father was only in his thirties. I asked my father to hold my baby brother, and I knelt down in front of the Japanese begging not to kill my father. They hit me and I lost my hearing ability in one ear. Their rifles were this long, with a bayonet attached; that was what they killed my father with," recalled Yang with a heavy voice. Yang lost even her little brother during the massacre. "And then, they killed my uncle, and my grandfather as well. They stomped my baby brother to death with their big leather boots. He was only two years old. The streets were filled with dead bodies. They killed everyone, more than 300,000 civilians," said Yang. Five days after Yang's father was killed, her mother gave birth to a baby. The Japanese burned down their old house, leaving them with no food. As a result, the baby starved to death and her mother turned blind from crying day and night. In an effort to save her family from starvation, Yang soon started working in a Japanese factory - sewing buttons for 12 hours a day. Talking with a fellow worker would only result in beating. They were given quarter of a kilogram of rice and quarter of a kilogram of dried sea buckthorns as their daily wage. She was still at work on August 15, 1945, the day Japan surrendered. Yang who has lived all her life with the hope that someday Japanese government will make an official apology looks at it as a consolation. "We suffered all the miseries that were there. Our families were killed; and those who survived suffered as well. I can’t forget. I struggle to hold back my tears whenever I think of my father," said Yang. Yang wants to live just to hear Japan apologize for their brutal killings. "I'm 93 years old now. I don't know if I will live to hear that," she said. http://www.cctvplus.com/news/20171213/8068432.shtml#!language=1 Subscribe us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CCTVPlus CCTV+ official website: http://www.cctvplus.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cctv-news-content Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NewsContent.CCTVPLUS Twitter: https://twitter.com/CCTV_Plus xPeXCnX2_MQ |
