On December 13, 1937, the Japanese invaded Nanjing.
Nanjing, a city like purgatory, is full of massacres, except for the blood-stained ruins, there is no other color. But in the rubble of gunfire and artillery that covered the whole area, I saw two special women, one was Yu Mo and the other was Shu Juan.
Yumo is a prostitute, the so-called "Qinhuai River woman" in Shujuan's mouth. She is charming and graceful. She walks like a fox. The temperament is unique, and in the pile of rouge gouache, it seems that there is no trace of worldliness. Speaks English and behaves neatly and logically.
Shu Juan, a schoolgirl in a church, the daughter of a snobby cook, is cautious, strong, assertive, and has a strong ability to observe.
A few more impressive scenes - "In the beginning, when the prostitutes knocked on the door of the church, they shouted and said that the cook promised to let their sisters enter the shelter, but George refused to open the door for them, and Yumo domineeringly pushed the suitcase to the wall. He threw it inside and led a few sisters to climb in, open the door, and enter the church smoothly."
"The female student stopped the fourteen Qinhuai River women from using the toilet. During the push, a female student was shot to death by a bullet, and blood splattered on the delicate face of the woman who was pulling her opposite."
"We'll go for you and live for your sister." The remaining twelve prostitutes and George disguised themselves as women. They had their breasts wrapped, their hair cut, and make-up, while George wore a wig. Put on the clothes that the schoolgirls had stitched, and got on the truck that the Japanese invaders rushed in to go to the banquet of no return. "
The businesswoman also knows the hatred of the subjugation of the country, and the church sings the Qin Huai Jing.
