New work on city鈥檚 鈥榗omfort stations鈥

A new book offering detailed historical facts on “comfort stations” during World War II has been released at the ongoing Shanghai Book Fair. “Comfort station” is a euphemism the Japanese occupation forces used to describe a military brothel.

Based on historical documents and accounts of witnesses and victims, the book provides readers with a detailed look at the 172 comfort stations in Shanghai during the WWII.

Some 400,000 women across Asia were forced to become comfort women, and nearly half of them were Chinese, according to the Research Center for Comfort Women at Shanghai Normal University.
