日本人的教养
On Christmas Day 1941, when Hong Kong surrendered to the Japanese, around 200 drunken Japanese approached St Stephen's College, now a sanctuary for 96 wounded soldiers. Barring the front door was the head medic, Dr George Black."You can't come in here," he said,"this is a hospital." With deliberate aim, a soldier raised his rifle and shot him through the head. In the wards, the Japanese ripped the bandages off the wounded patients, and plunged their bayonets into the amputated arms and legs before finishing them off with a bullet while the nursing staff looked on helplessly. The female nurses were then led away, to a fate one can easily imagine.Similar atrocities were committed at various locations throughout Hong Kong, including the rape of thousands of women and young girls.
一九四一年圣诞节,香港向日本投降。那天,约二百个日本士兵醉醺醺走向圣士提反书院,当时院内收容了九十六个伤兵。主管的医生乔治.布莱克站在前门,拦着那群日本士兵说:「这是医院,你们不能进去。」一个士兵举起来复枪,仔细瞄准,一颗子弹射穿了布莱克的头颅。日本士兵走进病房,把伤者的绷带扯下来,用刺刀猛插截了肢的手和腿,然后才开枪把伤者打死,护士在旁,束手无策。女护士其后被带走,下场不难想象。类似的暴行,香港各地都有发生,包括数以千计的妇人和少女遭强奸。
