This is another extremely tragic story that happened in Nanjing. A staunch young woman resisted rape, but Japanese soldiers stabbed her 37 times. On December 19, 1937, Shanghai Road Primary School.In the small and damp basement, there are more than two dozen panicked refugees hiding.It was drizzling, and the northwest wind was blowing in bursts. The cold air penetrated into the basement, making people shiver all over.But people are still crowded in this dreary, suffocating hut, and they dare not even lift their heads to look out. Yet disaster still struck. At around 9 o'clock in the morning, the door was kicked open with a bang, and six Japanese soldiers rushed in with guns in hand.The refugees were so frightened that they hid in the corner of the house, and the women shrank and hid in the innermost part.A Japanese soldier yelled in blunt Chinese: "Come out with all the flowers!"

No one made a sound, and no one came out.Annoyed Japanese soldiers pushed their way into the crowd with guns in hand, and began pushing the men aside, yelling, "Your flower girl come out!" while pulling the women away.There was a woman who refused to come out, but the Japanese soldiers went up and fired a gun. The woman screamed in pain, her face turned pale, but she was finally pulled out. Li Xiuying was seven months pregnant. When the ghost soldiers came to pull her, she pointed to her swollen belly, indicating that she was pregnant, hoping to let her go.The Japanese soldier not only ignored her, but pushed her hard, Li Xiuying staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.After the staunch Li Xiuying stood still, she gave the devil soldier a hard look, and then secretly cursed: "Bastard!"Li Xiuying thought to herself, these beasts want to rape me, I would rather die than be insulted by these beasts, why don't I die to show my resistance.After making up her mind, Li Xiuying looked around and found that she was standing not far from the basement wall, so the ghost soldier didn't pay attention, she gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, and slammed into the wall, feeling dizzy and fell to the ground .

When Guizibing was pulling "Flower Girl", he suddenly heard a bang, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a Chinese woman passed out on the ground by the wall, with blood pouring from her forehead and all over her face.A few Japanese soldiers chattered for a while, then left Li Xiuying behind, and drove ten Chinese women out of the basement. As soon as the ghost soldiers left, Li Xiuying's father rushed up, picked up her daughter in a hurry, and shouted eagerly: "Xiuying! Xiuying!" Friends in distress also surrounded her, and hurriedly helped Xiuying stop the bleeding and bandage her Healed the wound, and then carried Li Xiuying to the cot, and Li Xiuying slowly woke up.

Li Xiuying, who was lying on the cot, fell into deep thought for a long time. When she thought about her behavior just now, she gradually had a new idea.She thought that it was not worth it for her to die in vain. She had learned martial arts from her father since she was a child, and had practiced kung fu. Why didn't she fight the Japanese devils?One of them is enough to die, and two of them earn one. Anyway, it is better to die than to die in vain!Thinking of this, she was full of courage, so she told her father about this idea, and she said sadly: "Dad! Anyway, I will not be insulted by the devils. If I am killed by the Japanese devils, please tell my husband and brother, I will I am not insulted, I want them to avenge me!"

The father is also a fierce man. He agrees with his daughter's choice, and feels sad and distressed for her daughter's situation. He didn't make a sound, but nodded silently. At around eleven o'clock in the morning, three more Japanese soldiers came. After the Japanese soldiers broke into the basement, they waved guns in one hand and shouted non-stop: "All men, get out!" People knew what the Japanese soldiers wanted to do at a glance. Although the unarmed men were full of resentment, they were forced to come out of the basement one by one.The few remaining women were yelled at by the Japanese soldiers and rushed to another room.

Li Xiuying was injured and lying on the bed, she closed her eyes slightly and deliberately did not leave, thinking, what will you do with the ghost soldier?After a while, the women's struggle and screams of resistance were heard from the next room.At this moment, a ghost soldier ran over with a gun in his hand, and said with a playful smile, "Don't be afraid, Chinese girl!" He bent down and stretched out his hand.Li Xiuying was wearing a cheongsam that day. When the Japanese devil reached out to unbutton the cheongsam, she caught sight of a bayonet hanging on the waist of the devil soldier.When the enemy was not paying attention, Li Xiuying stretched out her hand suddenly, unlocked the lock on the shell, grabbed the handle of the knife, jumped up from the bed, and was about to draw out the bayonet to fight the devil soldiers.The Japanese devil was taken aback, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold Li Xiuying's hand, preventing her from pulling out the bayonet, so the two began to fight for the bayonet.

Li Xiuying had put life and death aside a long time ago, kicking her feet on the devil soldier's body desperately, and then slammed her head into the devil soldier's chest to see if it still had no effect, so when the enemy was not paying attention, she suddenly bent down and grabbed the devil soldier. Guizibing bit the hand holding Guizibing hard, and Guizibing screamed in pain.When the two ghost soldiers in the next room heard it, they hurried over and saw their companions wrestling with the Chinese woman, rolling around on the ground for a bayonet. After stabbing and stabbing, all the Chinese women who were arrested in the next room took the opportunity to run out.Li Xiuying was hit by the bayonet on her face, hands, and feet, and she was bleeding profusely all over her body. But she had already put her life and death aside, and forgot the pain, so she clung to the handle of the knife tightly.The Japanese devils were in a hurry, and a Japanese soldier stabbed her in the stomach with a bayonet.Li Xiuying instinctively shrunk her stomach back. Following a burst of severe pain, she felt dizzy, her eyes blurred, and she immediately passed out.

Guizibing got up from the ground, and while dusting off his body, he muttered in a low voice: "The Chinese girl is amazing!" The three Japanese soldiers left the basement disappointed. After the Japanese devils left, the refugees gradually returned to the basement.When Li Xiuying's father saw his daughter died on the ground, he was heartbroken. He carried his daughter to the cot, and stood by him, weeping silently, while fellow sufferers surrounded him and comforted him. In the evening, my father and fellow sufferers dug a mud pit beside Mount Wutai.Back in the basement, people hurriedly found a door panel and a straw mat, and lifted Li Xiuying to the door panel.The father wept and said to his dead daughter, "Xiuying, in these turbulent times, I couldn't even find a coffin, so I had to bury you with straw mats. There is really no way!"

People took advantage of the evening, and the devils withdrew their troops and carried Li Xiuying out.Not far from the basement, a slight groan was suddenly heard in the cold wind. My father immediately stopped and shouted: "Xiuying! Xiuying!" After shouting a few times, I saw Xiuying gradually opened her eyes and said in a very soft voice, "Dad! I'm not dead..." "Ah! Xiuying is not dead! She is still alive!" the father cried out with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy. "Xiuying is not dead! Send it to the Gulou Hospital, hurry up and send it to the Gulou Hospital!" Several fellow sufferers also yelled at one another.

Riding in the hazy twilight, a group of people took Li Xiuying to the Gulou Hospital with twists and turns. At the Drum Tower Hospital, American Wilson, the doctor on duty, had just treated two patients. One of the patients was severely burned on the head and shoulders by gasoline, and the back of the other was slashed severely by the Japanese soldiers.After returning to the duty room and just sitting down, another young Chinese woman was brought in from the door. Dr. Wilson immediately examined her, and saw that the woman's face was swollen like a blood basin, her hair was formed into blood cakes, and her body was covered with blood. Blood spots, already dying.Wilson hurriedly called nurses Shen Wenfa and Gao Anhua to give her an injection, and quickly cleaned the wound for treatment.The medical staff counted, and Li Xiuying was stabbed 37 times.

Dr. Wilson shook his head again and again: "A miracle! It's unbelievable! She was stabbed 37 times by Japanese soldiers, and she survived!" A few days later, Pastor Mech of the Anglican Church came to the hospital. Dr. Wilson told him the story of the Chinese woman who had been stabbed 37 times by Japanese soldiers and came back to life. Take a picture of her and tell the people all over America!" Wilson led Pastor Mech into the ward. This upright pastor raised his video camera and recorded another ironclad evidence of the massacre of the Chinese people by the Japanese fascist aggressors! In 1946, when the Nanjing Military Tribunal tried Gu Hisao, the main criminal of the "Nanjing Massacre", Ms. Gao Anhua, who worked in the laboratory of the Central Hospital, and Ms. Shen Wenfa, who lived at No. 30 Hongwu Road, both provided evidence. Ms. Li Xiuying, the victim, even Appeared in court and publicly complained about the atrocities committed by the Japanese army. As for the original video tape taken by Pastor Mech, it was also found in the United States in August 1991. Thirty-eight years after Pastor Mech's death, it was discovered in the basement by his second son, Captain Magee, when he was cleaning up the relics.It was a 16mm copy of the original film, and the contents of the video tape had already been made public through various channels.In the expansion film shown at the "Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall of the Victims by Japanese Invaders" in Nanjing, there is a shot of Li Xiuying being treated in the Drum Tower Hospital after being stabbed by the Japanese army.
