The farthest labor

The Japanese aggression army had not only sent the Chinese labors to Japan, but also sent them to other occupied areas. The Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japan Memorial found the survivor of the Chinese labors who had been impressed to Papua New Guinea for the first time, when they investigate the labors.
In Aug 1943, Shi Fangzhou was captured by Japanese army together with the total 120 people in Shengze Town, Wujiang County, Jiangsu Province. Then, over 1,500 labors captured by Japanese army including Shi were sent under escort to Papua New Guinea to work as coolie. When Japan surrendered, only about 700 labors survived. In 1947, under the help of International RedCross, Shi and other survivals came back to Guangzhou. Among the labors from Shengze Town, only Shi survived to come back to homeland.   The photo is Shi Fangzhou being in Papua New Guinea
