Grandma Jiang was born in Pingjiang, Hunan in 1922. In 1939, she followed her sister to Miluo and signed up to join the army. Afterwards, she was assigned to the stretcher team at the field hospital, responsible for taking care of and transporting wounded soldiers. After the withdrawal of the field hospital, Grandma Jiang was unfortunately captured by the Japanese army and imprisoned in the attic of the Japanese military base in Miluo, where she was subjected to sexual slavery by the Japanese army. Unable to bear the torture of the Japanese army, Grandma Jiang jumped out of the window and ran away, resulting in a foot injury.

Grandma Jiang was a veteran who had participated in the Anti Japanese War. In 2017, she recounted to local volunteers her experience of enlisting in the military and being arrested, detained, bullied, and escaped by the Japanese army during that time. In May 2021, the research center visited Grandma Jiang in Pingjiang, and with the support of her family, Grandma Jiang publicly shared her experience. Based on the elderly person's victimization experience and the research center's investigation of the field hospital site and the former Japanese military base in Miluo City in oral materials, the research center certified him as a victim of the Japanese military's "comfort woman" system during World War II.

In her later years, Grandma Jiang lived together for five generations and took great care of her children, who were also very filial. A few years ago, an old man's son passed away, and she was devastated. She cried her throat hoarse. Fortunately, the other children gave her great comfort.

On September 11, 2023, volunteers from the research center went to Pingjiang to visit Grandma Jiang and sent her Mid Autumn Festival blessings in advance. At that time, Grandma Jiang's daughter warmly invited volunteers to attend the elderly person's birthday banquet in October. Unexpectedly, on September 18, 2023, volunteers received a notice from the elderly person's family that the elderly person had not entered the water or rice in recent days and left us forever at around 9 am.

At present, there are only 10 victims of "comfort women" registered by the Research Center in Chinese Mainland. The China Comfort Women Research Center of Shanghai Normal University extends its heartfelt condolences to Grandma Jiang for her passing! May the elderly rest in peace!
