Chen Liancun, 91, a former "comfort woman", stays at her home in Jinkeng Village of Wanning County, south China's Hainan Province, Aug. 4, 2017. Chen now is still scared of Japanese, even those shown on TV dramas. Her son has had to move the television from her room. Old age is taking the lives of "comfort women," a euphemism for girls and women forced into sex slavery by the Japanese during WWII. Across the Chinese mainland, only 14 comfort women are still alive, according to the Research Center for Comfort Women at Shanghai Normal University. And, some 400,000 women across Asia were forced to be "comfort women" for the Japanese army during WWII, and nearly half of them were Chinese, according to the Research Center for Comfort Women.
