The harm that war brings to mankind.

On August 4th, in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province, the Japanese invaders abandoned the toxic agent and leaked it, resulting in the death of more than 30 China citizens, 8 of whom were seriously ill and 2 were dying.

According to relevant sources, at present, chemical weapons abandoned by the Japanese army have been found in more than 10 provinces in China, and about 2,000 Japanese citizens have been injured in peacetime. What is even more frightening is that some chemical weapons secretly buried and discarded by the Japanese army have not been discovered so far.

The destruction of the war continues.

As of August 10/9, 34 people were admitted to the 203 Hospital of Qiqihar People's Liberation Army. Li Guizhen was the most seriously ill person in this incident, because she had been in contact with the poison gas canister for the longest time. According to the doctor, Li Guizhen's burn area has spread to 95%, with symptoms of poisoning such as shallow breathing and blood hypoxia, and he is still in a critical period. Li Guizhen's wife, Liu Aiping, said that the couple came to Qiqihar from Henan a few years ago to collect waste products for a living. On August 4th, Li Guizhen spent 200 yuan to buy five metal cans, which were scalded by the leaked liquid when they were cut at the waste collection station. The youngest poisoner is a 9-year-old girl, Gao Ming, who was unfortunately poisoned while playing with other children beside the mound contaminated by poison. Her left foot is covered with yellow blisters, and her actions depend on her mother's back. Every time I change my dressing, I will cry my heart out. Xiao Gaoming's parents are laid-off workers, and his family is very poor. Mother Chen borrowed 120 yuan to take her child to the hospital that day, but she has never been willing to buy a catty of fruit for her child. Facing his tearful mother, Xiao Gaoming, who was sensible, blamed himself: "If I hadn't been naughty and played with mud, I wouldn't have made my mother sad."

Before this incident, there had been many incidents in China where Japanese abandoned toxic agents harmed Chinese citizens, resulting in about 2,000 victims, most of whom could not take care of themselves.

197410/kloc-0 on October 20th, when Chen Li, an employee of Heilongjiang Waterway Bureau, and several other staff members were working on the ship, the mud suction pump actually sucked up a shell, and the warhead was broken, and black liquid kept flowing out, contaminating the skin of Chen Li and others.

Infected by venom, Chen Li's hands and body were covered with large and small blisters. The blisters on his head are as big as eggs. The blisters on his hands are like a bunch of grapes, and yellow liquid emerges from the broken blisters. Because of repeated skin ulceration, Chen Li had to repeatedly cut off carrion with scissors when he was hospitalized, and his hands were soaked in alcohol and normal saline for disinfection.

Recurrent illness forced Li Chen to be hospitalized again and again. Until now, the sequelae have been tormenting him: frequent bleeding at the corners of the mouth, purple saliva and bitter taste; General weakness, sometimes difficulty breathing; The scalp is repeatedly eroded, and the liquid oozes when it is hot; There are also new meat adhesions between fingers, and sometimes liquid oozes from them. Life at home became extremely poor because of the loss of Li Chen's income. The second daughter was forced to drop out of school because she couldn't pay tuition and fees in the second year of middle school. Guilty and unbearable, Chen Li once drank four bottles of dichlorvos, a powerful poison. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and it took three days and three nights to save a life. How to eliminate hidden dangers

Bu Ping, vice president of Heilongjiang Academy of Social Sciences and an expert on the abandonment of chemical weapons by the Japanese army, said that the toxic substances used in the war to poison people and animals and destroy the ecology are called military poisons, and artillery shells, rockets, missiles and mines containing military poisons are collectively called chemical weapons. Chemical weapons are mainly gas bombs, including all kinds of weapons filled with smoke and incendiary agents. So far, there are no effective methods and drugs to treat toxic substances in the world, so once people are attacked by chemical weapons, they will either die or suffer considerable pain. Because of its great harm, chemical weapons, together with nuclear weapons and biological weapons, have become weapons of mass destruction prohibited by relevant treaties of the contemporary international community. The Protocol for the Prohibition of the Use of Asphyxiating, Poisonous or Other Gases and Bacteriological Methods of Warfare was adopted in Geneva on 1925. But at the same time, the Japanese army is quietly preparing to make chemical weapons in Ono Island, Hiroshima Prefecture. 1927, the Japanese army removed all the residents of the island, and it took two years to build the whole island into a large-scale chemical poison and chemical weapons production factory, and began to manufacture chemical weapons from 1929. The Japanese Navy produces chemical weapons from 1943 at Sagami Naval Factory in Hanchuan, Kanagawa Prefecture.

During the Second World War, the Japanese used chemical weapons against China many times. After the war, they were either thrown into the river, buried underground, or thrown in the warehouse together with other ordinary weapons. According to China's statistics, there are about 2 million chemical shells abandoned in China by the Japanese invaders, and even according to Japanese statistics, there are about 700,000.

These abandoned chemical weapons are not "stored" and have no butter protection, so the corrosion is quite serious and it is impossible to use mechanical automation. Moreover, they have been underground for many years, not only seriously corroded, but also some of them have leaked, and the explosives inside are in danger of explosion. In addition, the chemical weapons abandoned in China are mainly emetics and erosive poisons, both of which contain "arsenic" which is harmful to human body and seriously pollutes the environment, and are difficult to decompose. As far as chemical weapons disposal technology is concerned, it is mainly divided into three processes: shell disintegration, poison harmlessness and environmental protection. Among them, the harmlessness of poisons requires special technology and equipment, and it is still in the stage of discussion.

Buping anxiously pointed out that some chemical weapons secretly buried and discarded by the Japanese army have not yet been discovered, and those toxic bombs that have been discovered are still a huge hidden danger because there is no effective disposal method. Once leaked, it will cause unimaginable harm and consequences to the lives and property of local people and the ecological environment.

Japan has always denied the development and abandonment of chemical weapons after the war, and it was not until 199 1 that it was forced by facts and international pressure to admit the existence of this problem. 1On July 30th, 999, China and Japan signed a memorandum on the destruction of abandoned poisonous gas weapons in China. In the memorandum, the Japanese government clearly stated that it would sincerely fulfill its international obligations and provide all necessary funds, technologies, experts, equipment and other materials for the disposal and destruction of abandoned chemical weapons, which was completed in principle in April 2007. But so far, only a few gas bombs have been dealt with.

The responsibility cannot be shirked.

The families of the victims of the "August 4th" incident, in which the Japanese invaders abandoned poison and caused injuries, have written to the "accident rescue team", denouncing the crimes committed by the Japanese invaders and saying that they will demand "statements" from the Japanese side according to law.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, the victims of 18 in Heilongjiang Province angrily raised the sword of the law. According to international law, the courts in China cannot accept the prosecution against the Japanese government, which means that the victims in China can only defend their legitimate rights and interests through transnational litigation, and lawyer China can only testify as a witness in Japanese courts. In February 1996 and February 1997, the victims filed a lawsuit in Tokyo District Court, Japan, demanding an apology and compensation from the Japanese government.

Hiroshi Dashan, a famous Japanese lawyer who defended the victims, said that this is a lawsuit that contributes to the future of mankind. The plaintiff is a very small part of the victims of the war against China, so it has the nature of representative litigation. If their lawsuit is successful, it will obviously promote the post-war compensation legislation filed in parallel with the lawsuit, so that many victims can get relief.

Lawyer Su Xiangxiang from China submitted 103 pieces of evidence to the court, which irrefutably proved that the Japanese invaders abandoned gas bombs and caused harm to China citizens, and the Japanese government had an unshirkable responsibility for it. At the same time, Japanese historian Yoshimitsu Yoshiaki, a veteran who used chemical weapons on the battlefield in China, and Murakami, a first-class witness and former director of Oshima Poison Gas Archive, also testified in court.

On May 15 this year, the second batch of five plaintiffs from China came to the Tokyo District Court for a first-instance judgment. The judgment acknowledged the fact that Japan abandoned its chemical weapons in China after the war of aggression against China and caused harm to the plaintiff. However, the Japanese government cannot bear legal responsibility on the grounds that it is obviously difficult to recover abandoned poisonous gas weapons and investigate them.

This wrong and unfair judgment aroused strong repercussions. Representatives of Japanese victims' civic support groups in China also said at the report meeting after the verdict: "I have been engaged in education for more than 40 years. In class, I teach my students that they must admit their mistakes when they do something wrong, while our country does not admit its mistakes when it does something wrong, and talks about fallacies and even evades responsibility. As a Japanese citizen, I don't know how to apologize and apologize to the victims in China. "

On May 23rd, when answering a reporter's question, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhang Qiyue pointed out that the Japanese government has an unshirkable responsibility to solve the problem of chemical weapons abandoned in China, and stressed that "the China government has repeatedly stated its position to the Japanese government on the issue of chemical weapons abandoned by Japan in China. We once again demand that Japan take a responsible attitude towards history, take it seriously and handle it properly. " In response to the "August 4" poisoning incident, Japanese Foreign Ministry officials are actively negotiating with China. China demanded compensation for site cleaning, medical treatment and personal injury. The first batch of 12 victims who sued the Japanese government will also wait for the judgment of the Tokyo District Court in Japan next month.

The irrefutable evidence is like a mountain, and the Japanese government cannot escape its due responsibility.

China people injured by the Gulf War.

Tianjin Daily (2002- 12- 18)

The Gulf War in the Middle East directly hurt some China citizens 13 years ago. Their suffering not only exists today, but also deepens.

"Is there anything worse than me? Is there anything more painful than our group? For the war, we have the pain of the skin, 13 years. " Sun Wei said.

On June 4, 65438, heavy snow turned Yantai in Jiaodong Peninsula into an endless white world.

"But I'm dirty. Because of the nuclear radiation of depleted uranium bombs and other weapons whose names I don't know in the Gulf War, I am no longer a normal person. My chromosome is mutated and my health is getting worse and worse. Other China people who worked with me in the Gulf region at that time had similar symptoms. Now we often contact, encourage each other and continue to live. " Sun Wei said.

Dream of the Bay

Sun Bo published a manuscript of more than 654.38 million words-Dream of the Gulf. Sun Bo really left his dream in the bay, never thinking that his life had been completely destroyed by that war.

1July, 1989, Sun Bo went to work in the embassy of China in Kuwait. Since then, with the changes in the war in the region, he has been transferred to other countries. Before the United Nations declared a formal ceasefire in the Gulf War,199/kloc-0 was transferred to Kuwait in March, 2000 to participate in the reconstruction of the destroyed Embassy of China, becoming one of the first six China diplomats to return to Kuwait. After that, I worked there until February 1992.

The Personnel Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation 1995 issued a letter of certification on September 26th, which stated: Sun Bo has done a lot of work for the emergency evacuation of our staff. In order to ensure that the property of the state and its personnel in Kuwait was not damaged, he conscientiously performed his duties and tirelessly completed various tasks assigned by the state. Under difficult conditions, we worked hard to restore and develop China-Kuwait economic and trade relations and completed various tasks.

He risked his life to collect materials in an environment where wars were still frequent, bombs exploded nearby and mines were densely covered, and he was once detained by Iraqi soldiers. Later, it helped more than 240 China people of China Construction Company to evacuate in time and safely. ...

It was these actions that completely exposed Sun Bo to nuclear radiation. Sun Bo was the person who cleaned up the battlefield and collected the most materials among China personnel working in Kuwait at that time, and was also a group with the most serious symptoms. That energetic young man has now become a sick man who can't live without treatment for a moment.

Jiang Yaping, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency who was in the Gulf region at that time, had the same pain: "Although my problem is not as serious as that of Sun Bo, after returning to China, there are gradually related symptoms that affect my health."

Two other journalists and Wang said they were lucky: "The situation is not so serious now."

a dog's life

Chromosome variation is serious, and the body's immune system, nervous system, endocrine system, respiratory system, reproductive system and other aspects have been seriously damaged-China Union Medical College Hospital, Academy of Military Medical Sciences of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Wang Mianzhi, the medical authority who treated the main leaders of China, and other institutions and individuals have made similar diagnosis for Sun Bo.

"1991April, one month after I returned to Kuwait, I began to feel severe discomfort, chest tightness, cough, severe headache and uncontrollable emotions. Subsequently, this discomfort intensified. " Since 1997, Sun Bo's vomiting has intensified and he has difficulty breathing. "I often can't control myself and even slap myself. Anyway, I don't feel pain. " Sun Wei said.

"After we came back, we all felt unwell. It turned out that we all had the same symptoms. Later, I read some reports of Gulf War Syndrome veterans in the United States, only to know that I had Gulf War Syndrome. "

Sun Bo's father is suffering from cerebellar atrophy, and his mother's eyes are crying. He can hardly see anything. Sun Bo was infertile, and her marriage broke up the year before last, which not only made her unable to be filial, but also worried her parents.

"I can't work like a normal person now." Speaking of which, Sun Bo hesitated. "My sexual function has been completely lost. I am also a human being, but now I can't enjoy anything materially and spiritually. "

This is exactly where the king and the king sympathize most. "He really doesn't have any enjoyment."

Jiang Yaping's muscles and bones are in severe pain. "When it hurts, I kneel on the ground and grind my knees." He said. Tang Shiceng, a photojournalist, has a low immunity, which affects the normal field shooting.

At that time, the chief reporter of Xinhua News Agency in the Gulf region and Cao, the military attache of the embassy in Kuwait at that time, are now suffering from cancer.

Once the spiritual sustenance.

At that time, Sun Bo found a new spiritual sustenance.

Due to physical reasons, Sun Bo was transferred back to his hometown in Yantai from his diplomatic post to recuperate while working.

After Sun Bo transferred from 65438 to 0993, he taught 28 classes a week when his physical condition allowed, and was once the person who taught the most foreign languages in the school. "I have worked for 18 years in 8 years, which is the evaluation given to me by the school." Sun Bo talked about his achievements, revealing a rare smile full of sense of accomplishment.

The biggest damage to a workaholic is depriving him of the right to work. Sun Bo can't do any work now, and this spiritual sustenance based on achievements is shattered.

"I'm fine, and the pain is tolerable." Jiang Yaping said, "But the blind doctor who massaged me once told me that I had never seen my back muscles as hard as iron plates. In this case, it is also false to say that it does not affect specific work. " On the other hand, Tang Shiceng made it clear that because of his different physical condition, he rarely had the opportunity to interview the places he wanted to go.

The value of body

"The only thing that supports me is that I feel that my body itself is still valuable now." Sun Bo has always wanted to donate his body to relevant medical research departments for free. He is even afraid that he will not wait for that day, and now he has thought of donating his body.

Sun Bo's new dream is to turn himself into an "experiment": "In China, there are not many people tortured by modern weapons, but this group has great research value. What is the strategic value if we can alleviate or even find a way to treat the' Gulf War Syndrome' by studying our group? "

"But I have been to many hospitals and medical research institutions and failed to realize my dream. What a precious piece of data my body has changed over the years, but now there is no systematic record at all. If you die like this, you are worthless. Our group is valuable for treating this disease, but its existence value has been ignored! "

"Wang Mianzhi old man once said, don't ignore the new symptoms of our group, to do something new, if ignored, is dereliction of duty. In the Gulf War, 80% of weapons were used for the first time, which needs our country to study. But unfortunately, so far, our group has not received the attention of the relevant departments. Even in the course of our treatment, the leader of a senior research department said that we were not sick and should not rely on the Gulf War Syndrome. It seems that our group of people are taking advantage of this disease, and we feel extremely angry! " Sun Bo has always been indignant at the misunderstanding he suffered on his way to seek medical treatment.

Jiang Yaping said: "In March 20001year, when we were treated together in Beijing, Sun Bo expressed his thoughts to China Academy of Military Medical Sciences. In March, 20001year, China Academy of Military Medical Sciences gave us a free physical examination of people who had obvious physical changes after the Gulf War ——me,,,, Cao, Wang. Chromosome variation is only two thousandths in the general population. Among these five people, and Cao still suffer from cancer. Experts know I'm sick, but they can't diagnose what it is. It is precisely because we cannot be diagnosed that our group has the value of being studied, which is also Mr. Wang Mianzhi's point of view. "

Sun Bo went to the bay again.

Sun Bo is now waiting for a visa. He wants to go to Kuwait for treatment at his own expense, and he is also practicing peace.

"Some countries in the Middle East, as well as the United States, have a lot of experience in the treatment of Gulf War Syndrome, but they are not open. If we can take my team and me as the experimental subjects, I think our country will also make a breakthrough in Gulf War Syndrome. After this idea was rejected in March 20001year, I have been actively contacting many research institutions, but there is still no response. There are also many friends who are helping me to contact and hope that my ideas will come true. " Sun Wei said.

"Personal attention to me is a breakthrough. The leaders of the Central Committee and the Shandong Provincial Party Committee have special instructions on my affairs. I am very grateful. The instructions are clear, but in terms of implementation, I am anxious. I have been waiting for these instructions to be better implemented. 20065438+June165438+1October 18 gave instructions, but I hope it can be implemented faster. "

"It's very simple. I want to live and do things. " Sun Wei said.
