The study of "comfort women" is currently a hot issue in the history of the anti-Japanese war,Shandong was in the fallen zone during the war,so this article also belongs to the fallen zone research.Previous studies have placed more emphasis on the history of the victimization of ‘comfort women'and have said little about their subsequent history of silence and incoherence,and have not explored their roots.First of all,I found that the Japanese soldiers,the people of the fallen areas,and the intellectuals in the area did not have the same perception.Under the propaganda of the government and the media in the fallen areas of Shandong,the comfort center,the military guildhall,etc.has been built into a reasonable and legal entertainment place,a place for the Japanese army to clean up the dust,for the relief of various hardships of the workers.In the perspective of the intellectuals on the ground,these women victims who had escaped from enemy camps were often subjected to the harshness,coldness and contempt of those around them.This sense of collective repression exacerbates the "aphasia" of the women victims.The voices of the women victims have been obscured and silenced by the "negative" and "positive" public opinion campaigns on both sides.Secondly,both the late Qing government,the Kuomintang government,the Communist regime and the pseudo-regime government emphasized the control of the female body.Since the late Qing Dynasty,the attitude at the official level has been very praiseworthy for women's voluntary martyrdom in the case of thieves(the twisted army).The writing of such stories of chaste martyrs is highly encouraged by the authorities as a means of indoctrination.From the attitude of the Communist Party of Shandong towards female party members and people insulted by the enemy,it is clear that the Communist Party at that time not only inherited the traditional concept of chaste and martyred women,but also linked the physical innocence of women to the correct political attitude.To the Communist Party,the Japanese Army and the traitorous organizations in the fallen areas of Shandong were "thieves" and "enemies".For the fallen areas,the Japanese army and the traitorous organizations were their "official" government and "orthodox" institutions,and they also placed great emphasis on the control of women's bodies and materialized them to a great extent.From an anti-Japanese perspective,death was the last weapon these women had against the enemy's deprivation of control of their bodies.In fact,women's bodies have risen to the level of a political symbol.The root cause of the incoherence of victim-survivors and those who know about them lies in the wartime struggle for political legitimacy between the enemy and us.Finally,whether it was the prosecution of traitors,the investigation of war criminals,or the collection of evidence for sentencing after the founding of the country,successive governments have always suffered setbacks.The reason for this is that both the perpetrator and the victim have a serious disparity in information about the facts of the crime.It is obviously difficult for the victims to tell if they are Japanese soldiers at best,and to know their names and numbers.Not to mention the fact that the two sides do not speak the same language.Because the perpetrator is generalized during the investigation and evidence collection process,it can also easily become an open case.For these perpetrators,the victims are at most ‘Chinese women',‘Korean women',etc.As a result,it is difficult to solve the plight of the ‘aphasics' from the point of view of investigating the crimes of war criminals and obtaining evidence.
