Iris Chang's shocking description swept away some intellectual people's thinking ability. But if they lose such ability, they are no longer intelligent. On page 6, the author starts the shocking description. These torture stories are cited from Chinese books and testimonies, so I verified the credibility of the description with background information. The following shows shocking descriptions on page 6 and my verification.
"disembowel women" ... It is called pou-fu in traditional Chinese penalty. China had been executing unique cruel torture for a thousand years. A number of cruel torture methods were written as official methods until 1898, but similar cruel torture was still being implemented after that. For instance, the same methods were said to be implemented at 2-28 Massacre in 1947 and political clampdown during cultural revolution in 1970's. Pou-fu was written in the penalty book as the official execution method of China, and it was often executed in public eyes.
"slice off their breasts" ... It is a series of the slicing methods called luan, which basically slices off every body part. When the objects are ear and nose, these are specifically called ge-reng and ge-bi, respectively.
"nail them alive" ... Utilization of nail or so-called zhui-zi was the flagship of traditional execution method of China. Whether they use knife or zhui-zi was often executor's own discretion.
"Fathers were forced to rape their daughters, and sons their mothers, as other family members watched." ... Though rape was not official method, the execution forced every female prisoner to remove all cloths and either impaled a stick, seamed genitalia, or sliced it off in public eyes, including those of their parents. It's certainly rape in a broad sense.
"live burials" ... huo-mai is also traditional execution method in China.
"castration" ... Gong-xing cuts genitalia off. It's not unknown that even Chinese officers had been forced castration by the government.
"the carving of organs" ... Carving body parts was popoular among traditional execution methods of China.
"roasting of people" ... The method called pao-luo roasts prisoners by copper columns.
"hanging people by their tongues on iron hooks" ... jie-she specifically cut tongue off by iron hooks.
"get torn apart by German shepherds" ... shou-yao let mad dog bite prisoners to death.
Though I researched over 100 historical materials about Japan, I didn't find any matching traditional Japanese torture. On the other hand, there are a number of historical materials about China that verifies these tortures as China's traditional methods. Though most of them are written in Chinese, these tortures had been implemented in public. Such contradiction casts a serious doubt on the credibility of this book. The Diaries of John Rabe is more accurate at least.
