Features: This book depicts, with a pen dipped in blood and tears, the desperate lives of the people of old Beijing who became slaves under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders. It portrays the ugly faces and shameless lives of the Japanese, traitorous Han Chinese collaborators, bureaucratic elites, and rascals. It also highlights the plight of the vast number of women, especially those who became prostitutes in brothels and the Eight Great Huts in southern Beijing, and were reduced to "comfort women" under the torment of the Japanese. The plots in the book are all drawn from the author's decades of journalistic interviews, giving it an irreplaceable unique value in terms of historical perspective, folk customs, and literary quality.
