Remember history
Today is December 13th
Eighth Nanjing Massacre Victims' Memorial Day
When the air defense sirens sound across the sky
No matter where you are or what you're doing
Please stay a minute for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre
Silence
On December 13, 1937, the tragic Nanjing Massacre took place. In this human catastrophe, almost every 12 seconds, a compatriot is killed.
In this catastrophe, more than 300,000 unarmed Chinese civilians and soldiers who laid down their weapons were brutally killed, leaving survivors with indelible wounds.
As the years have passed, as of today, only 61 survivors remain on the register of the Victims' Assistance Association of the Japanese Invasion of China in Nanjing.
Portrait of survivors of the Nanjing Massacre
Dare not forget, cannot forget, will not forget, the crimes of the aggressors are deeply imprinted in the soul of every Chinese son and daughter.
It was a bookless sin, the darkest page in human history. Touching the details of suffering is not to sink into the scars of the nation, but to testify to history; to gaze into the depths of history is not to perpetuate hatred, but to embrace peace. Forge ahead in pain, strengthen my China!!
Remembering the dead and cherishing peace
Remember history, my generation self-reliance
