Issues raised by the victims of the Japanese military in China - Many people recall the image of an innocent girl who was forcibly taken away by the Japanese military and brutally assaulted. China, at that time a battlefield, was one of the places where such damaging incidents frequently occurred. The Japanese military continuously used brutal violence against Chinese women during the war. They openly took away women to commit sexual abuse across the battlegrounds, occupied areas, as well as urban and rural areas.

This is where the validity of the questions posed by this tangible AI interactive testimony content to the viewer lies: bringing up issues again about what to ask, not what to listen to. That’s because asking well must be accompanied by the constant consideration of the questioner. This, of course, would be to restore asking within the process of listening, not a reconversion or return to asking.
