Harbin is located in the north east part of China. It is just 200 KM away from the borders of Russia and North Korea. The present temperature there at present is -7 degree celcius. The maximum temperature reaches -7 degree and the lowest in peak winter reaches   -30 degree celcius.

Look at the map of china. All the major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hongkong are situated on the Eastern and North Eastern parts of China. On a closer look, sadly, even our country's map is disorted. It looks China is arbitrarily taking ownership of many parts of India that are integral part of our country

Harbin is the city where Camp 731 was located. Camp 731 was a Japanese Medical Laboratory established to conduct mindless medical experiments of human beings. During the world war-2, Japanese invaded parts of China. One part among them was Harbin. They conducted unimaginable cruelties on the prisoners of war in the form of experiments. More on this is available on the internet.

"Unit 731 was based at the Pingfang district of Harbin, the largest city in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo (now Northeast China).

More than 10,000 people—from which around 600 every year were provided by the Kempeitai—were subjects of the experimentation conducted by Unit 731.

More than 95% of the victims who died in the camp based in Pingfang were Chinese and Korean, including both civilian and military.The remaining 5% were South East Asians and Pacific Islanders, at the time colonies of the Empire of Japan, and a small number of the  prisoners of war from the Allies of World War-II

According to the 2002 International Symposium on the Crimes of Bacteriological Warfare, the number of people killed by the Imperial Japanese Army germ warfare and human experiments is around 580,000. According to other sources, the use of biological weapons researched in Unit 731's bioweapons and chemical weapons programs resulted in possibly as many as 200,000 deaths of military personnel and civilians in China."

More on this is available on the internet if we search by typing "camp 731". Click Unit 731 - Wikipedia to read this in wikipedia. The pictures in the web are so disturbing.


The Chinese still hate Japan. The very reference to camp 731 makes them so unnerved and upset. It is quiet surprising and shocking to see that the Japanese, known for their hospitality and courtous behaviour could commit such heartless violance on human beings.
