Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

Minnie Vautrin served as the dean of the Jinling Women’s College of Arts and Sciences and the head of the Education Department. She left a diary behind her, detailing her personal experience of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese invaders and the execution of the Japanese army in Nanjing in the following years. The situation of colonial rule.Fastest update

"On December 13, 1937, the Japanese army swarmed in from the gap in the collapsed city wall of Nanjing. The Japanese army began a six-week massacre, rape, robbery, and burning. At this time, women and children flocked to the refugee shelter of Jinling Women’s University. Everyone was terrified."

The second day of the Japanese army massacre (Friday, December 17, 1937): "Many more tired and frightened women came and said that they had spent a night of horror. Japanese soldiers continued to visit their homes. From Between 12-year-old girls and 60-year-old women were raped. Husbands were forced to leave the bedroom, and the pregnant wife was bayonet-cut."

For example, a diary on December 16, 1937 (Thursday): "I don’t know how many innocent and hardworking farmers and workers were killed today. We let all women over 40 go home with their husbands and sons. Just let their daughters and daughter-in-laws stay. Tonight we have to look after more than 4,000 women and children. I don’t know how long we can hold on under this pressure. This is an indescribable terror."

"We will never forget the faces of the husbands and fathers who watched their wives and daughters enter the shelter at the school gate."

"Most of the day I stayed at the front door like a guard or was called to deal with other problems and went to other places in the school to deal with batches of Japanese soldiers entering the campus."

"Today I saw a little Chinese boy wearing an armband to deliver food to his sister who lives in the Golden Girl University. He stepped forward and said to the child: "You don't need to wear the sun flag, you are Chinese, and your country is not dead!"You have to remember in which month and year you wore this thing, you should never forget it!"After that, I threw the armband on the ground."

"Those of us believe that war is a national crime, a crime that violates the spirit of creation in the souls of heaven and earth, but we can dedicate our strength to those innocent victims, and to those families who were burned and burned. Rob, or those who were injured by artillery or aircraft during the war, help them recover."

"From a military point of view, the occupation of Nanjing may be considered a victory for the Japanese army, but from a moral point of view, it is a defeat and a shame to the Japanese nation."

"Vitlin rejected the suggestion of the U.S. Embassy to let her evacuate several times. In the end, it was the last time that all the few U.S. citizens still stranded in Nanjing were summoned at the U.S. Embassy and warned them: "If we don't evacuate, we will not be able to evacuate. To ensure the safety of your lives.Vautrin said firmly again.

"I can't abandon China at this time!" Then, she signed her name on the "Ning Ning" certificate presented by the embassy. This is the fourth time that she solemnly refused the American Embassy to ask her to leave Nanjing. Requirements.

On December 13, 1937, the Japanese army invaded the city of Nanjing. Vautrin, who had been living in a peaceful environment and working in the school, was shocked and angry when he witnessed the heinous atrocities of the Japanese army for the first time.On December 16, she wrote in her diary: "A car carrying 810 women passed by us tonight. When the car passed by, they shouted'Help, help'. From time to time came from the street and down the mountain. The sound of gunfire made me realize that some people have suffered a tragic fate of shooting, and it is very likely that they are not soldiers."

On the morning of December 13, after the first group of Japanese soldiers entered the city from Zhonghua Gate, they raped and burned everywhere.At this time, women and children flocked to the refugee shelter of the Golden Women's Hospital.There are young women dressing up as old women, some women dressing up as men, and old women, children and men,Everyone was terrified.

Vautrin guarded the door and persuaded that in order to protect some young women and children, he invited the men and old women to go home.The refugees cried and begged, as long as they could have a foothold on the lawn.Protecting the lives of thousands of women and children was not easy in the special environment at the time!

Vautrin faced a group of Japanese invaders who were more ferocious than wild beasts. They were unreasonable.The brand of American mission schools and the notice of the International Safety Zone do not have any binding force on them.In the first 10 days of the Japanese army entering the city, at least 10 to 20 groups of Japanese soldiers went to the Golden Women's Academy every day to arrest people, rape women, and rob money.

Not only did they forcibly enter through the school’s gates and side doors, they also climbed over the fence to enter the campus, and even climbed over the school’s low fence at night, in a building with no lights, upstairs and downstairs, touching which one Raped her.

Vautrin organized the faculty and staff to patrol the campus, while at the same time invited foreign men serving in the "International Security Zone" to take turns to watch the night.She herself worked hard day and night, either guarding the gatehouse, or being called to stop the Japanese soldiers who came to the school to rape and plunder, and retake Chinese women from them.

She could not eat a settled meal all day long, and could not sleep a settled sleep.Many Japanese soldiers were so angry that they threatened her with blood-stained bayonets; some slapped her brutally.Ms. Hua endured it. She consciously assumed the responsibility of protecting more than 10,000 Chinese women and children. She said that Jinling Women's Home is my home and I will never leave.

But it was such a friend who had rescued so many Chinese people but was framed for no reason by some media in 1940.

One day in early April 1940 (that is, shortly after the establishment of Wang Jingwei's puppet government in Nanjing), the "Purple Mountain Evening News" published an article titled "Real Criminals", aimed at helping Chinese refugees during the Nanjing Massacre. Westerners who have survived hardships.

The self-proclaimed "Guardian of the Truth" said: "Let's take a look at the so-called Compassionate Bodhisattva! Minnie Vettering is actually a human trafficker, a traitor who betrayed the Chinese. We must expose her and give her to the Japanese army. The accounts of those women and girls are counted on her.” (In fact, the Japanese army almost treated the so-called "Golden Girl" as a brothel. On Christmas Eve in 1937, a senior Japanese military adviser stated: Choose 100 prostitutes out of 10,000 refugees.” Moreover, Vautrin asked the other party to “promise not to take away good women, and let the girls volunteer.

Maybe many people really can't accept this choice, but this is indeed the most helpless choice at that time.

Under the rampant Japanese guns, it is already Wettering's best effort to keep some people.

As a result, she was also condemned and tortured by her boundless self-conscience. Just a few days after being slandered and planted by the media, Vautrin submitted her resignation report.She suffered from severe mental depression.
