Demon Beast Forbidden Area
Japanese Education
When he was in primary school, the first thing he did after school was to help plow the fields, hoe the weeds, sprinkle fertilizer, and cut the grass for the cows to eat. It was not easy to wait until dinner. After dinner, the adults would chat in the dark courtyard.
Jing Tian had almost no time to review his lessons. He was ready to be beaten the next day at school. The Japanese teachers at school punished him severely. After a round of whipping, he had to kneel for one to two hours and finally stand in the corridor. Jing Tian was often punished for not doing his homework. After being whipped, he looked so pitiful when he was punished to stand in the corridor. It was deeply imprinted in his heart, and he still felt a lump in his throat when he thought about it.
Once, he chose to play truant and hide in the mountains. When the teacher found out that Jing Tian had played truant and did not come, he mobilized the entire class to search everywhere. In order to claim credit, the students would not give up on any possible hiding place. No matter what, they had to find Jing Tian, who had played truant. This was truly called a human flesh search.
After the students found Jing Tian, who had played truant, they held Jing Tian's hands and feet like a pig and carried him back to school with his feet facing the sky to receive punishment. The strict discipline of the Japanese teachers made Yasuda shudder. At that time, as a student, he had no dignity.
After graduating from elementary school, he had to face the pressure of entering a higher school. Although Jing Tian often did not have time to review his lessons, his brain was quite good and he was successfully admitted to junior high school. When he was studying in junior high school, Jing Tian left home to live in the dormitory (student dormitory). At that time, his life was unrestrained. Someone would prank and pee down from the second floor. It was called the rain. The dormitory was also deliberately not tidied up, deliberately letting it look messy.
Students also played cross-dressing shows, went to tea shops to enjoy the service of beautiful maids, and enjoyed music, movies, and literature. These were all very fashionable activities at that time. The most enviable thing was that they could participate in a study trip to Japan, going to Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, and other places.
In the 1930s, Taiwan was very prosperous. At that time, Japan's economic situation was very good, and so was Taiwan. If it had not been affected by the flames of war in World War II, Taiwan would have been even more prosperous.
After the signing of the treaty, the relationship between Taiwan and China was severed.
The Japanese government allowed more children from Taiwan to attend primary school, but there were far fewer students from Taiwan in secondary schools and above. The number of Japanese students in secondary schools, specialized schools, and colleges was 1.5 times, 1.9 times, and 7.9 times that of Taiwan students, respectively, while the population of Taiwan was more than 30 times that of Japan. The higher the level of education, the more serious the discrimination and unfairness faced by the students in Taiwan. The minority of Taiwan students who could attend secondary schools and above belonged to the elite of the upper class. The treatment they enjoyed was far beyond that of ordinary people.
When they arrived at Tainan Medical College, the school's life was strictly disciplined, and all students had to live on campus. Japanese and Taiwan students lived in two separate dormitories, each with Japanese and Taiwan cuisine. The management of the dormitory was strict, and they were not allowed to eat outside.
They were not allowed to go out during normal days. They could only go out on Saturday afternoon and were on leave on Sunday. Every morning, the wake-up call would wake up the students. After washing up, they would do morning exercises for fifteen minutes. They would gather to do their self-cultivation homework before they could eat breakfast. Self-study after breakfast. Class started at eight o'clock.
After class ended at three in the afternoon, he had to do the gardener's work, which was to plant vegetables and flowers. He would only return to school in the evening to take a shower and eat dinner. There was a period of free time after dinner, followed by two hours of self-study. Before bed, the warden would check the room and count the number of people.
Some mischievous students would climb over the wall after the lights were off and go to the night market for supper. Jing Tian often did the same. Under strict management, there were also relaxing entertainment activities, such as the moon viewing party, the annual party, the farewell party, and the welcome party. The graduation trip was a grand event. The students from Taiwan went to Japan for a visit, which lasted 18 days. It took six days just to go back and forth by boat.
Some of the young and hot-blooded students had been dissatisfied with the Japanese school for a long time. Once they encountered nationalistic agitation, their blood boiled and soon a collective rebellion broke out.
At that time, there were students walking on the left side of the sidewalk, violating the right-hand rule of the Japanese occupation era. The students had a conflict with the police, and the Tainan police chief even drew a knife to warn them. As a result, 45 students were arrested and 15 students were expelled. The principal and the Tainan police chief both resigned.
There was also a conflict over the location of the graduation trip. The students from Taiwan wanted to go to the central and southern regions, while the Japanese students wanted to go to Yilan. The school accepted the Japanese students 'proposal, which made the students from Taiwan dissatisfied. When they were preparing to leave, the students from Taiwan protested by staying in bed. That night, they threw stones at the dormitory supervisor and staff to demonstrate. Because of this, the school expelled thirty-eight students.
Yasuda Tatsuo's mentor, Mr. Ishikawa, was once a translator for the Governor's Office. While the other teachers were wearing military uniforms to show their class and dignity, Mr. Ishikawa always wore a suit and was as elegant as an English gentleman. He was modest and tolerant, encouraging students more than criticizing them, and often rewarded students with small gifts.
In addition to classroom teaching, he also organized clubs with his students and held activities in the suburbs on weekends. Miraculously, under his influence, Jing Tian and his classmates 'interest in learning burned up.
At that time, Yasuda's mentor, Teacher Ishikawa, was not very strict with his students. However, the seniors in the school were very strict with their juniors. They often scolded them. They often criticized the juniors for bending their hips too high when bowing, or bending their waists too low, or eating incorrectly. The juniors had to serve the seniors, pour tea, shine shoes, and so on. The seniors often disliked the juniors and often corrected the details of their lives.
Japanese students were law-abiding, clean, and polite, but their pride, bullying the weak, and looking down on Taiwan students and other weak ethnic groups were their shortcomings.
Due to the outbreak of the Pacific War, the situation became more and more tense. The students ate porridge for breakfast, boiled pumpkin for lunch, and boiled fish for dinner. Red diarrhea and typhoid fever were prevalent in the dormitory. In order to meet the needs of wartime, the Japanese mobilized students to participate in food production, combat skills, air defense communication, national defense construction, and other work.
Jingtian's school was heavily bombed by hundreds of US military aircraft. As many as 58 bombs fell on the campus, and the school buildings were almost completely destroyed. The students were evacuated to the countryside and engaged in a lot of physical labor, such as collecting firewood, planting vegetable gardens, fertilizing, weeding... Due to their lack of physical strength, the students gradually contracted malaria. Only two or three people survived, and three others died.
The teacher led the students to fight malaria. They were required to burn day lilies to repel mosquitoes, enter the room after seven o'clock in the evening, take preventive pills on time, repair mosquito nets frequently, and take care of each other. In order to make the students forget their unhappiness, the school organized activities such as military service, moon-viewing parties, fishing, hiking, herb-picking, making crafts, and so on. At the request of the students, they raised more than 50 poultry and livestock, including chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and so on. When they laid eggs, they provided nutrition for the sick.
The people on the mountain were warm. After a few months, the taste of living in the village actually became sweeter and sweeter. Outside, the flames of war were everywhere, but the remote mountain valley provided the teachers and students who were originally in a state of panic all day long with a peaceful life like a paradise. They forgot that they were in a war.
