Life during the Japanese Occupation was extremely harsh. We know this because of Sources C1-C4. C1 states that there were no privacy with the people as the “Japanese soldiers were everywhere; at every street corner,”. C2 states that people were easily accused of betrayal.
C3 states that people are forced to show respect to the Japanese. C4 shows that children were forced work due to the food being scarce, difficulty of finding jobs and fear of being violated by Japanese troops.
Therefore, everybody feared the Japanese and lived in harsh conditions where even children have to work.
