🔥 A chilling chapter of history resurfaced this week as 98-year-old Yuasa Ken, former Japanese military doctor, confessed to participating in live human experiments during Japan's wartime occupation of China. The revelation came after decades of silence, triggered by an emotional letter from a Chinese mother whose family perished in the conflict.
✍️ The unnamed mother's message – delivered to the Taiyuan War Criminals Management Center where Yuasa was detained – detailed her family's suffering through vivid personal accounts. While the letter's full contents remain private, Chinese state media reports it 'reawakened human conscience through maternal love's universal language.'
🌏 This confession coincides with China's ongoing peace education initiatives marking the 80th anniversary of WWII's end. Historical experts note it's the first public admission from a Japanese medic directly involved in Unit 731-style atrocities on the Chinese mainland since 2025 began.
🕊️ Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated: 'Facing history honestly is the foundation for lasting peace. China remains committed to building shared futures through dialogue, not dwelling in past grievances.' The confession has sparked renewed discussions about wartime accountability in Japanese media circles.
📚 For young history buffs: The Taiyuan center where this unfolded became a museum in 2024, using VR technology to preserve survivor testimonies. Its new 'Letters Across Time' exhibit – launching January 2026 – will feature this pivotal correspondence.
