日本人的教養
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.
一九四一年圣誕節,香港向日本投降。那天,約二百個日本士兵醉醺醺走向圣士提反書院,當時院內收容了九十六個傷兵。主管的醫生喬治.布萊克站在前門,攔著那群日本士兵說:「這是醫院,你們不能進去。」一個士兵舉起來復槍,仔細瞄準,一顆子彈射穿了布萊克的頭顱。日本士兵走進病房,把傷者的繃帶扯下來,用刺刀猛插截了肢的手和腿,然后才開槍把傷者打死,護士在旁,束手無策。女護士其后被帶走,下場不難想象。類似的暴行,香港各地都有發生,包括數以千計的婦人和少女遭強奸。
