Comrade Tong Zeng,
I became quite emotional after recently reading an article from newspaper about you demanding compensation from Japan for Chinese victims of Japan’s war of aggression against China. You are the first to defend the dignity of the Chinese people, pursue justice for Chinese victims and demand compensation from Japanese invaders by upholding nationalism and patriotism. Hundreds of millions of Chinese victims and their offspring will never forget you and your righteous act will be always recorded in the history of the Chinese people. I firmly support your righteous act and I am willing to join the signature campaign until Japan apologizes to and compensates us.
My father was imprisoned by the invading Japanese army between 1932 and 1933 and beaten to death. My mother was forced to be a slave laborer by the invading Japanese army in 1942 and disabled in the “Flax Company” of Japan. When my father died, I was only born 4 months ago and my three older brothers were all in their infancy. Japan’s invasion of China has caused great misfortune to my family. Currently, I am asking my second oldest brother to find the photos of my parents before their death to certify my father’s identity and my father’s disability. Then, I will faithfully write a document and trouble you to forward it to the Japanese embassy in China. I will support you with act. Please tell me the instructions to fill in relevant forms in the reply. Thank you very much!
I hope you will always advance to achieve success
