The following is a continuation of the previous chapter.

The “Preface” immediately introduces testimony claiming that a fifteen-year-old girl named Liu Mianhuan was abducted by the Japanese military in front of her mother.

The Japanese soldiers gathered the villagers in one place.

A Japanese soldier around thirty years old said, “You are very beautiful,” and dragged her out.

She resisted and was severely beaten.

She was forced to walk for three to four hours and taken to a Japanese military base.

That day, she was raped by “several Japanese soldiers.”

Worried about his daughter, her father sold all the sheep he owned and prepared one hundred silver coins as a ransom.

He went to the military base, bowed deeply before the Japanese soldiers, and pleaded for his daughter’s release. Through an interpreter, he begged that his daughter was ill, and that if she were released and recovered, he would surely bring her back.

The Japanese soldiers accepted the money and agreed to release her.

Any Japanese person would know that such a story—Japanese soldiers accepting ransom money—is utterly impossible.

If the ransom story is false, then it is only natural to question whether the very beginning of the story—Japanese soldiers evaluating women’s looks and abducting them directly—is true at all.
