In the process of occupying Chaoshan area, the Japanese army brutally slaughtered the unarmed people of China, and carried out the "Three Lights" policy for villages that resisted, raped, burned and killed. About 20 people, all arrested, dug a hole in the place of Da Fu Ling in Jinsha (now Bank of America Factory) and beheaded them one by one ... The method was cruel, worse than stepping on an ant and a bug in China. The Japanese army set up an outpost in Shantou city, with barbed wire on both sides and a passage.
