During World War II,the Japanese army implemented a "comfort women" system in Asia,forcing 400,000 women to become "comfort women",including 200,000 women victims in China,one of the countries that suffered the most.During the Japanese invasion of China,large-scale comfort stations were established in more than a dozen provinces in China,and innocent women recruited by deception and looting were put into the houses for Japanese officers and soldiers to vent their desires.Due to its special strategic status,Hubei Province has been trampled on by the Japanese military for more than seven years.Hubei is also one of the provinces that has been severely damaged by the Japanese "comfort women" system.Since the Japanese invaded East Hubei in 1938,they established comfort stations in Huanggang,Huangshi,Xianning,Ezhou,etc.;from October 26 to 27 of the same year,the three towns of Wuhan fell one after another,and the Japanese established the Wuhan military station here as a wartime rear.The occupation began for more than 7 years,accompanied by the standing of more than 100 comfort stations including land and navy;then the Japanese army gradually invaded Xiaogan,Huangbei in northeast Hubei,Jingzhou,Jingmen,Yichang and other places in central Hubei,comfort The Institute followed the pace of the Japanese troops throughout the above-mentioned areas;even in March 1945,when the war was about to end,it was dismaying to see Japanese comfort stations in places where Shiyan was almost all mountainous.According to multiple evidences such as found files,Japanese war criminal confessions,"comfort women" dictation,related newspapers,and a few literature and historical materials,the Japanese army established at least 295 comfort stations in Hubei Province,which is the province with the largest number of found comfort stations.Because of special strategic position of Hubei,Wuhan 's three towns have become the rear of the Japanese military operations.Other regions have short or long garrisons.There are several battle fronts.The distribution of comfort stations shows stability and mobility.Coexisting characteristics.Hubei is already a relatively mature stage for the implementation of the Japanese "comfort women" system.The establishment of comfort stations from top to bottom is more skilled and systematic,and the integrity and comprehensiveness of the management and operation of comfort stations are also more complete.According to the 24,000 “comfort women” calculated by 172 comfort centers in Shanghai,at least 35,000 “comfort women” in Hubei were conservatively deduced.Among them are Yuan Zhulin,a well-known Wuhan victim,and He Shangshu,a Korean citizen.Mao Yinmei is one of the protagonists of the movie "22".For now,among the Chinese provinces,Hubei Comfort Station has the largest number of victims.Evil militarism,inequality between men and women,and group fanaticism during the special period of the collective are all reasons that led to the emergence and development of the system to such a degree.The combing of Hubei Comfort Center made us understand the specific scale of the implementation of the system in Hubei,which has enriched the overall history and regional details of the "comfort women" system as a whole and promoted the development of this research field.Not only that,the presentation of tangible historical data and the testimony of the victim 's testimony in a province in Hubei fundamentally refuted the Japanese government 's denial and denial of the authenticity of the system.The evidence is as strong as a mountain.
