84 years ago today
The invading Japanese army captured Nanjing
In just 6 weeks, we have lost more than 300,000 compatriots
Laughter and prosperity are gone, and corpses are strewn across the field
The millennium city has become a "hell on earth"
△ Massacre by the river
The national sacrifice is dedicated to my compatriots
Today is the eighth
National Day of Commemoration for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre
In the name of the nation, we mourn the dead
That's the proof!
This is the Nanjing Massacre discovered so far
The only true movie
At that time, the American John Maggie
Risk your life with a 16mm camera
Photograph the atrocities of the Japanese army
It was he who was in the courtroom of the Tokyo trial
Testify for our countless dead compatriots
This is known as the "Jingzi No. 1 Evidence"
Photographic archive of the Nanjing Massacre
Luo Jin, a 15-year-old photo studio apprentice at the time
Risk your life
A photograph of a Japanese officer and a second lieutenant
Rinse out one more serving
He hid the photo around him
It was then handed over to the patriotic youth Wu Xuan
Gu Shoufu, the main perpetrator of the Nanjing Massacre, once said:
"December 21, 1937
I was ordered to Wuhu, where I had only been in Nanjing for a week
No news of the massacre."
February 6, 1947
The military court held a public trial of Gu Shoufu
Photo album handed in by Wu Xuan
Became the "Jingzi No. 1 Evidence"
Gu Shoufu was dumbfounded and bowed his head and confessed
April 26, 1947
Gu Shoufu, the main perpetrator of the Nanjing Massacre, was executed by firing squad
That's testimony!
So far this year, 11 survivors have passed away
Currently, registered
Only 61 survivors of the Nanjing Massacre remain
Every survivor of the Nanjing Massacre
They are all witnesses of history
Every testimony
All truly restore that memory

Remember! We commemorate it this way
We remember the dead
But not obscured by tears
Remembrance is not a continuation of hatred
It's about moving forward better
Every year since 2017
The name on the "Nanjing Massacre Victims List Wall"
will be volunteered and staffed
Paint the new with one stroke
2019 to 2021
The Nanjing Massacre of the Japanese army invading China
Message area of the Memorial Hall of Compatriots Killed
More than 220,000 messages were left
Among them, "history" and "remembrance"
"Peace", "Don't Forget", "China", etc
Become a word that appears more frequently
"Remember history, but don't perpetuate hatred!"
"We must remember the sufferings of the past and walk the way forward."
"The pain of the compatriots is seen in the eyes, and the pain is in the heart..."
"Peace needs to be fought for, and peace needs to be maintained."
This year, on the eve of National Day of Public Worship
The whole city of Nanjing is in its own way
Pay tribute to the compatriots who were killed and comfort the deceased
This morning, the alarm 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
May the fire of war grow and the flower of peace always blossom
Show the past, ti ti future generations!
Remember history, don't forget the national shame!
