Wall marks 1945 uprising
A memorial park in Tianjin commemorating the 70th anniversary of an uprising by Chinese forced to work in Japan during World War II was inaugurated yesterday.
A 26-meter wall in the park has engravings that depict the laborers’ story — from their forced work in harsh, brutal conditions to the return of their remains to China.
A total of 986 Chinese were enslaved by Japanese soldiers and sent to a labor camp in Odate in northeast Japan.
Among them, 419 either died due to torture or the work or were killed during the uprising on June 30, 1945, as they fought for their freedom.
