Site of the Dongjiagou Japanese Military Comfort Station

　　    The Site of the Dongjiagou Japanese Military Comfort Station is situated by the small stream in Dongjiagou in the old town center of Longling. It was originally a private residence of the local Dong family. The house was built in 1921 as a traditional earthen-and-wooden connected quadrangle courtyard, covering an area of 1.26 mu with a floor space of 367 square meters. The entire compound consists of 30 rooms of various sizes, featuring exquisite and ornate interiors. It was a well-known affluent residence in the area.

　　    After the Japanese army occupied Longling in 1942, the property was forcibly taken over and turned into a military comfort station for Japanese troops. For two years between 1942 and 1944, 15 women—conscripted from Japan and Korea—were kept there to provide sexual services to Japanese soldiers.

　　    In October 1944, the Expeditionary Force laid siege to Longling with 100,000 troops. On November 1st, during the fiercest fighting, all these innocent women were either shot to death or forced to commit suicide by poison by the Japanese army at Tangjiagou at the foot of Guanyin Temple.

　　    The compound is currently unoccupied and has suffered considerable natural damage, with the front building already destroyed.
