In today's busy Huanghua Pond on Huanghua Road, there is a stone tablet standing quietly. On the tablet are engraved five large vermilion characters "Blood and Tears Sprinkle on Huanghua Tablet." Zeng Qingliu, a professor at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, said that the current Huanghua Road and Huanghua Zhongyue Street area in Guangzhou, which was the Huanghuatang Village back then, was the village closest to Guangzhou during the Republic of China. On May 30 and June 10, 1938, the Japanese army bombed this place twice in order to invade Guangzhou, killing and injuring more than a hundred residents.
(Reporter on site: In 1946, the residents of Huanghuatang built this blood-sprinkled monument here to commemorate the Chinese compatriots who were killed by the Japanese army.) (Interview with Zeng Qingliu, a professor at the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee: No Forget the disaster caused by the Japanese invasion to the people of Guangzhou).
Zeng Qingliu said that at that time, Huanghuatang Village was neither a transfer station for aid materials to China nor a garrison for Chinese troops. However, in just 11 days, it was bombed twice by Japanese planes and razed to the ground. Densely populated and commercial areas such as Dongshan District, Yuexiu District and Liwan District were also important targets for Japanese bombing.
(Interview with Zeng Qingliu, a professor at the Provincial Party School: The alarm was raised day and night, many traitors reported, and places such as the Xicun Water Plant were bombed). The Japanese army bombed undefended residential areas, seriously violating the 1907 Hague Convention, resulting in the tragic death of more than 6,000 residents of Guangzhou. The bloody fact is definitely not something that the Japanese right wing can deny.
