Zheng Fulai 84 years of age sitting on the stage of the War Memorial, hands supported on crutches, slow tone about 77 years ago in a heavy history. This full of blood and tears of bitter history, Zheng Fulai is indelible memories in life: he witnessed the Japanese army that the indiscriminate and wanton cruelties you witnessed the deaths of too many people in the village.

　　Fleeing back along the body

In 1937, Zheng Fulai was only 7 years old.

"77" the day after the incident, Zheng Fu to still get up early, get ready for school. Father called out to him, "the Japanese are playing in town, or what? ”

Zheng Fulai soon realized that Japanese siege meant.

Gunfire blasted all around the city, as Chinese New Year firecracker-like. However, the joy of these guns is not new year 's, but death.

First day still play together with Zheng Fulai neighbor peers, 10 year old boy Wang Sichun, killed by shells were falling into the front. Shells exploded Wang Sichun belly, and risked his family took him to the changxindian hospital railway, but was unable to rescue.

Fighting continued for several days. Wanping town is filled with fall.

"The earthquake houses were projectile missed, really can't stay any longer. "Zheng Fu, his family had to flee to the changxindian, Japanese troops behind, a man afraid to stop, has fled to Baoding," is full of fleeing people, huge crowds. "

Zheng Fulai followed her mother kept running away, heels are worn out, "blood knot with SOCKS together, tied down."

At the time, officers and men of the Chinese 29th Army of the city, is working with the Japanese band, an affidavit with the Marco Polo Bridge and Wanping town die, millions of people die, but nothing helped.

On July 29, the fall of Peking. Total strangers in Baoding, did not eat nor drink Zheng Fulai family, made a most audacious decision: go home.

Zheng Fu to never be able to forget everything he sees on the way back.

"Along the way are all dead. "Zheng Fu, he and his sister, cousin, several children holding hands, adults in front holding the lead children, their eyes to walk, do not watch.

7 children's curiosity let Zheng Fu opened his eyes, "I watched it all. On both sides of the road, filled with dead, piles of dead, old young, some were also eviscerate. ”

For a long time thereafter, Zheng Fu are afraid at night, how do you sleep at night, "thinking about the dead people."

　　When a target firewood elderly people were shot

Zheng Jia's House, and the lugou bridge next to the temple is only separated by a King.

Zheng Fulai remembers, I'm 29 during the military garrison, training regularly for broadsword, young he also followed the soldiers follow suit.

Refugees return, everything has changed. 29 army officers and soldiers stationed are gone, replaced by a large number of Japanese troops.

Only a few days away from the village, but more people have died in the village.

Zheng Fu to remember what adults say, Japanese forces invaded after the Marco Polo Bridge, massive manhunt 29 Army soldiers, killed 13 people after the Lugouqiao bridge Pavilion, "are ordinary civilians, are young people. Japanese say they are 29, all killed. ”

A water bearer in the village of any villager surnamed, see Japanese troops entered the village, fearing turned and ran, was chasing Japanese bayonet picked to death; a Don named fields, to their door from being looted by Japanese military bayonet dead; the village women were raped by the Japanese was not unusual.

Returning home after Zheng Fulai witnessed the brutality of the Japanese: the Japanese claimed that new gun after on try gun of the yongding River, little partner Guo Dongjun's grandfather is on the beach wood, Japan killed by soldiers as a living target.

Life of grass, the more difficult days lie ahead.

Japanese are increasingly strict law and order in the city, everyone can't be out of the village, with Japanese people must bow out must have certificates issued by the Japanese side. Japanese became the main subject in our school, each student has to sing Japan national anthem, see the teacher to say hello in Japanese. Town of necessities food, salt, cloth, kerosene is strictly controlled to buy.

Zheng Fu to remember, when little of his school and home, and streets are visible on the ground not being dead.

Everyone is trying to get something to eat.

Horse horse droppings in the Japanese army did not Digest beans inside, villagers put black beans washes out of the muck, Sun is clean before you eat it; Japan ditches of the camp's eyes, there will be leftover debris flow out, we just picked water investment and clean eating.

Zheng Fulai ate everything, "the people are hungry, eat everything. Fill the stomach, can survive on the line. ”

Is in such poor conditions, Zheng Fulai had 8 years of my life time.

　Japan pleaded guilty parties lasting friendship

Zheng Fulai still remember clearly that Japan surrendered that day.

When he was sent to parents having come back, "I saw the King of the Temple of Japan soldiers driving tanks ran Kuomintang soldiers shot behind chasing the tanks came to a halt, Japan hands out of a tank. ”

However, Japan surrendered the joy didn't last long, the civil war started, life is still struggling.

As for Zheng Fu, real life transitions began in 1949.

October 1, People's Republic of China was founded. Since then, a new era, a new life began.

Zheng Fulai aged 19 with the Marco Polo Bridge town Government Civil Affairs Committee and as a member of the security, attended the founding ceremony. He later successively served as the Marco Polo Bridge, the Mayor, Lu Gou Qiao Xiang Township people's commune period such posts as Deputy Director.

After retiring, Zheng Fulai obligations at lugou bridge area a narrator, lugou bridge area of history and culture, has been gradually forgotten that history, again to the world.

Zheng Fu always memorable had lived through those years of suffering.

"Who wants to become slaves? The slaves what taste? You guys were not trained, but older people have received. 8 years of Japanese aggression against China, and engage in rape, arson and murder evil, really is a hardship and misery. "Zheng Fulai said, in Japan the aggressor before, people have no dignity whatsoever, a slight resistance, they will be killed," the Japanese need to repent to the Chinese people. ”

Japan altered textbooks, hiding historical truth, resentful Zheng Fu. On one occasion, he gave one to interview Japan reporters about Japan invading China's crimes, the journalist has said that the Japanese don't like to hear these two words of aggression.

Another time, a few Japanese visit to lugou Bridge Baron Temple, just by chance, said Zheng Fulai on the history of the temple King. "Listening to my explanations, one of more than 50 years old, shook the Japanese, also said that the Japanese would not kill for no reason. "Zheng Fu to extreme anger," more than 50-year old Japanese, even do not know the truth about the Japanese invasion of China! ”

Zheng Fu has maintained a habit of reading the news. He cares about Sino-Japanese relations, more concerned with the history of tradition and continuity.

"Young people have to learn history, especially recent history, bearing in mind the history, not to forget the humiliation, the nation must remember Cho. "The old man said," why do we bully? Just because we were poor. So we must enhance history education, wary at the same time, to build our country well. ”

Old Zheng Fulai said he learned from the news, China's leaders and ordinary citizens, and hope that Sino-Japanese long-term friendship, sincerely friendly, "but the Japanese have to plead guilty, repent. On this basis, our people really friendly. ”
