The Relief of Wounded Soldiers by the Christian Medical Societies in Hangzhou during the Early Years of the Anti-Japanese War
After the outbreak of the anti-Japanese War,Hangzhou,as the rear area of the Battle of Shanghai,was a center for the treatment of wounded soldiers who came back from the front line.The Christian medi-cal and social groups such as the Hangzhou YMCA and the Hangzhou Guangji Hospital were actively in-volved in the rescue and treatment of wounded soldiers.At the beginning of the fall of Hangzhou,the Guangji Hospital was allowed to continue to treat seriously wounded soldiers under Japanese supervision,but some of the wounded soldiers were forcibly taken away by the Japanese in August 1938 and were first imprisoned in the army prison and then deported to the Shanghai concentration camp;the rest of the wounded soldiers were allowed to be discharged in 1939,but most of them were physically disabled and could not serve in the army again.In the early years of the war,the Christian medical community in Hangzhou provided care for wounded soldiers,which was not only a manifestation of their professional i-dentity as healers,but also a reflection of their religious identity as Christians.
