Re: Ji'nan centenarians tell tales of legendary Chongqing bombings.
102 years old
first see Mu Yongjuan, the old man has not been washed soon. She politely told reporters to sit down, and then went to the bathroom to "dress up". In the eyes of the elderly, it is impolite to guests if they do not dress up. In addition to the body fat and hearing loss, the old man does not seem very old. He speaks with great vigor and a deep sense of spirit in his manner. Unable to hear, the old man communicated with reporters through the inscribed board and saw reporters writing down questions, and she answered. In the exchange, the most talked about is the fleeing experience during the war of resistance against Japan and the struggle between death and death. This is the most profound memory of her life.
Mu Yongjuan's memory of fugitive memory was after the 1937 "8 1 three" battle of Shanghai, when she was in Jiangyin Shang Ren high school as an English substitute teacher. In the face of the collapse of the state, the students in the Middle School of Shin Yan disbanded their students, and all the teachers of the school began to embark on a stormy road to escape in the West. "Escape is very difficult. Traffic was basically paralyzed along the road. We had cars, boats, boats and even on foot." Mu Yongjuan said, they ran all the way along Changzhou, Zhenjiang West, the Japanese army was forced by the road, time is very urgent, and sometimes just to a place, just fled the place was occupied by the Japanese army.
Mu Yongjuan remembers that when the party arrived in Nanjing, there was a desolate place, where refugees and disorderly troops were everywhere. During the waiting period in Nanjing, a Kuomintang officer from Guangdong secretly told them that Nanjing would be lost and let them leave. After learning of this situation, they hurriedly left Nanjing for Hankou, and found a small boat in Hankou to continue westward along the Changjiang River. "As soon as we left Hankou, we heard that Nanjing had fallen." Mu Yongjuan said, "we are lucky to be compared to the about 300000 dead compatriots in Nanjing. The crimes committed by Japanese aggressors in China will eventually be punished accordingly. "
on the road of Mu Yongjuan's trip, Japanese planes chase the refugees bombing every day, and they pass away with death several times. Once, a bomb exploded at a distance of more than 100 meters away from them. The explosion frightened them to get down quickly. "Thousands of people were killed and injured on the way, and the dead and discarded luggage along the roadside were everywhere. I can't forget the tragedy of my life. " Mu Yongjuan said, in a low voice, that the fleeing people were in a heavy mood and dreary atmosphere on the ship to Chongqing. A young couple who fled from the Northeast sang a few "my home in the Northeast Songhua River". The pain of death. "
many bombings of Chongqing have survived many times. Many leaders were impressed by
Mu Yongjuan went all the way to Sichuan. In order to live, teachers begin to make their way to their own life. She worked as an accountant in Chongqing's central midwifery school and the Chinese pharmaceutical factory in Chengdu.
in Chongqing, Mu Yongjuan experienced a nightmare of Chongqing bombing. "Japanese aircraft at that time and night in turns, one is more than a dozen, four or five pieces of one word, bomb, bomb whistle, each time the corpse is across the ground, the limbs of the limb disastrous." Mu Yongjuan said she fled several times. Recalling the big bombing in Chongqing, the old man's eyes were full of grief and indignation, his fingers clenched hard and his body trembled slightly. At that time, the dark and damp in the air raid shelter was reflecting the mood of the old man at this time. Speaking of these things, the old man hum "918, 918..." In which year can I return to my lovely hometown? With tears in the eyes of the old man, it seems that he has returned to the difficult time when he left home in the war of resistance against Japan.
