Trauma of bacteria attack still felt today

| Wang Jianzheng, a villager in Chongshan, in his clothing factory. His uncle died of the plague spread by Japanese troops. In 1997, Wang's father filed a lawsuit against the Japanese government on behalf of the victims of the germ attack in Chongshan. After he died in 2000, Wang took the baton from his father and kept fighting for justice for the victims. Wang is also the head of the association for family members of victims of germ war in Changshan. But due to the lack of funding and the departure of many members of the association in recent years, he admitted it takes him too much money and time to take care of things related to the association, and he does not have enough time to keep his own factory running.
