Wang Rui Lin is a member of Crestwood student David Huang’s extended family.  While home in China during the summer of 2017, David had the occasion to interview him about his memories of the War of Japanese Aggression, as well as the time of China’s Civil War.  Mr. Wang recalled intense memories of his own family’s struggle, including his own brother’s execution at the hands of collaborators.  He spoke of his family’s desire to have the family martyr remembered, as well as their experiences in tunnel warfare against the Japanese invaders.

We thank David and his family for adding to the international dimension of Crestwood’s Oral History Project.
