The Old Demon is a 1981 short story by notable author Pearl S Buck. - AsNotedIn
OLD MRS WANG knew of course that there was a war. Everybody had known for a long time that there was war going on and that Japanese were killing Chinese. But still it was not real and no more than hearsay since none of the Wangs had been killed. The Village of Three Mile Wangs on the flat banks of the Yellow River, which was old Mrs Wang's clan village, had never even seen a Japanese. This was how they came to be talking about Japanese at all.Pearl S Buck, The Old Demon
