"My family killed 4 people for the Japanese soldiers. Dad, two uncles, a two-year-old brother, and myself were injured..." Xie Guiying, a survivor of the Nanjing Massacre, is 98 years old, and recalls his experience 84 years ago, and the old man still can't help but cry.

Xie Guiying recalled that before the destruction of Nanjing In 1937, her family lived at No. 3 Xiaguan Fence Gate in Nanjing. "There is a father, a mother, an older brother, a sister-in-law, two younger brothers and a younger sister, and I am the second oldest."

The old man recalled that after August 15, 1937, the alarm was raised outside, and Japanese planes dropped bombs over Nanjing from time to time. "Before the Japanese soldiers entered the city, my mother led our brothers and sisters to Liuhe, leaving my father to guard the door at home. On December 13, Japanese soldiers entered the city. Dad was killed by Japanese soldiers. ”

After this, Xie Guiying's mother took her child to live a difficult life. Xie Guiying later experienced 3 deaths. She wiped the tears from her eyes, lifted her hair, pointed to the clearly visible scars, and murmured, "This is the scar left by the Japanese army that invaded China and hit the stone." ”

"Especially the third time", Xie Guiying cried, she could not escape the clutches of the Japanese army, hiding under the bed she was found: "The Japanese soldiers saw me, untied the belt, I said 'Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang, I am a child, I am a child', but he still did not spare me..." Xie Guiying cried and said: "Poor, I can't eat for a week, it was my mother who fed me with rice soup." ”

"History will never be erased, and peace should be cherished." ——Xie Guiying
