Since 2000, every month the Research Center for Chinese “Comfort Women” has sent two hundred yuan to Lin Yajin and other Japanese military comfort station survivors in China, using funds from private donors. With that money Lin’s adopted son gradually rebuilt their house. Lin Yajin now lives with the family of her adopted son.

Yunnan Province is situated between inland China, Burma, and India, and it occupied a key position on one of China’s major supply lines during the Resistance War. In 1942 and 1943, the US Air Force built air bases in Yunnan, from which the Fourteenth Air Force provided assistance to Chinese military operations. The Japanese air units countered with major strikes, and the Japanese ground forces began the invasion of Burma in January 1942. The 56th Division entered Yunnan Province in the spring of the same year, and, by early 1943 it had taken control of the area west of the Nu-jiang River (known as Salween River in English) and established its headquarters at Longling.11 During the occupation the Japanese troops set up comfort stations from the Longling county seat all the way to the Songshan frontline.12 Li Lianchun, whose home village of Bai’nitang lay to the west of Songshan and on the west bank of the Nu-jiang River, was abducted into one of these military comfort stations.
