Yu Changxiang was born in October 1927
When the Nanjing Massacre occurred
He was already a child of memories
Thinking of loved ones who lost their lives in the catastrophe
The old man was deeply saddened:
"My father was dragged by Japanese soldiers and told to pick something.
After sending him over, the Japanese soldiers asked him to go,
As soon as the results came out,
He stabbed his father to death with a knife. ”
"We must oppose war and cherish peace"
Chen Deshou, a survivor of the Nanjing Massacre
Repeat this phrase from time to time in interviews
In that catastrophe
Chen Deshou's family was destroyed and displaced
Nice family of eight
In the end, only Grandpa and him were left
One old and one small depend on each other
Cen Honggui was born in November 1924
In that year, the Japanese army burned down the straw house where they lived
His parents escaped from the fire with him, his second sister and second brother
The third brother, who is under 2 years old, sleeps in the house
The Japanese army prevented their parents from returning to the house
The third brother was burned alive
In 1937, Ma Tingbao was only a 2-year-old child
During the Nanjing Massacre
Ma Tingbao's father was captured by the Japanese army
After he understood things, he listened to his mother's story and didn't know

Every victim of the Nanjing Massacre
It is all the death of the country and the pain of the nation
But infuriatingly
Japan's right-wing forces are still right
The Nanjing Massacre was ambiguous
Moreover
The idea that the Holocaust simply did not exist
Forgetting history means betrayal
Denial of guilt means repeating the offense
Anyone to deny
The fact that the Nanjing Massacre was committed
History won't say yes!
The undead of 300,000 victims will not agree!
More than 1.4 billion Chinese people will not agree!
84 years, a flash by
The smoke of war in Nanjing has long since dissipated
China has changed dramatically
An era of slaughter and bullying
Gone are the days
Today, a China full of life
A hopeful China
Standing majestically in the east of the world
But we must remember history
Don't just remember the hurts of the nation
And even more so, the unyielding resistance
Every son and daughter of China should remember:
My generation should be self-reliant!
We remember history
Not to preach perpetuation of hatred
Instead, we must learn from history
Evoke every kind person
Yearning for and perseverance towards peace!
This morning, the alarm will be sounded throughout nanjing
No matter where you are or what you're doing
Please leave it for a minute
Silence for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre
Remember history, don't forget the national shame!
Revitalize China, my generation self-reliance!
