Yesterday afternoon, Lei Guiying, the unique witness of Comfort Women known by the public died at Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of TCM, at the age of 79 years old.

Lei Guiying was born in 1928. When she was 9 years old, she was raped by Japanese invaders. And 4 years later, she was forced into the camp of comfort women at Tangshan, south of Nanjing. On her body, she suffered from the scars made by Japanese invaders in the whole life. The experience of being a comfort woman made her lose the fertility.

Yesterday morning, the doctor announced that Lei Guiying had been in brain death. At 2:20 in the afternoon, a foster son of Lei Guiying put on the graveclothes for her. On 3:10, the doctor took away the rebreather for Lei Guiping. Two minutes later, this old and pitiful woman finished her life full of frustrations.

Last year, after having organized the experience of as a comfort woman to the public, Lei Guiying became the focus of the whole society. After that, she told the truth to the public for several times. Besides of written and DV records, this old woman also offer a special evidence: a bottle of potassium permanganate of that year, which was used in disinfection for comfort women at the camp.

Lei Guiying could bravely and directly faced to the history filled with mortification and pointed out the atrocities of Japanese invaders, so she had won the respect and support all over the society. "Less and less comfort women are alive. Lei Guiying is a living irrefutable evidence of Japanese invaders' atrocities in China." Jing Shenghong, professor of Nanjing Massacre at Nanjing Normal University, once said.

Her death means we lose the unique living witness of Comfort Women. According to some materials, some comfort women in those years still live in Nanjing, but they aren't willing to open their details to the public.
