The Qintai Theater in Wuhan, Hubei province, was filled to capacity one evening in May for a performance of Don't Forget Me, a play based on the story of Lee Chun-young who was forced by the Japanese to become a "comfort woman" during World War II.

As the emotional drama and destiny of the two main characters unfolded, many in the audience were wiping tears from their eyes.

Lee was born in South Korea in 1925. She was captured by the Japanese at the age of 13 and brought to Harbin in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province in 1938.
