Former sex slave breaks silence

After decades of silence, Zhou Fenying, a 90-year-old woman from Rugao, in East China's Jiangsu Province, decided it was finally time to reveal that she had been forced to work as a sex slave in a brothel run by the Japanese army during World War II.

She is now one of the few known living former "comfort women" in China.

The death last month of Lei Guiying, a former Chinese sex salve from Nanjing, prompted Zhou to come forward with her secret, according to the Yangtze Evening Post. Lei, who was 79 at the time of her death, was long thought to be one of the last surviving "comfort women".
