Consequences of Plague Deaths for these Survivors<br />

Because the father of the family usually was the one who died from plague or from depression after family<br />

deaths of plague, young survivors (seven to thirteen-years of age) became poverty-stricken and often had to<br />

drop out of school to help support their families.<br />

Aftermath of Germ Warfare<br />

It has been estimated that 700,000 - 2,000,000 chemical bombs, most of them loaded with mustard gas and<br />

many of them corroded and leaking, are still scattered in China. Periodically during construction projects<br />

Chinese are affected by these leaking bombs and suffer severe injuries. The Japanese have not yet provided<br />

China with maps listing the location of all these burial sites.<br />
