In January 1938, Japanese forces invaded and occupied Sanzao Island (in present-day Zhuhai, Guangdong), establishing it as a military base for their campaign to control South China. During their occupation, they killed 2,891 local Chinese civilians, caused more than 3,500 deaths through starvation, and secretly executed over 3,000 forced laborers.
