China Marks 80th Anniversary Of Nanjing Massacre With Somber Memorial, Healing Words | NBC News
Nanjing Massacre: A story that must never be forgotten
There are stories throughout history that must never be forgotten. Japanese troops captured Nanjing, then China's capital, on Dec. 13, 1937 and started a 40-odd-day slaughter. About 300,000 civilians and unarmed Chinese soldiers were brutally murdered, and over 20,000 women were raped. John Magee, an American missionary, recorded the atrocities of the Japanese army with his 16-mm camera – the only footage documenting the massacre. CCTV interviewed John Magee’s grandson Chris Magee, Japanese professor Hiroshi Tanaka and opera actor Li Shi, who performs in The Diaries of John Rabe, an opera chronicling the massacre.

China marks 80th anniversary of Nanjing massacre
中 난징대학살 80주년 추모 열기…시진핑 주석도 참석
A massive commemoration event is held in Nanjinng, China... to honor unarmed civilians who were brutally killed by Japanese troops... 8 decades ago.
Beijing and Tokyo long sparred over the painful history.
President Xi Jinping was in attendence but was a silent participant.
Kim Mok-yeon takes us to the scene.
In 1937, during the Japanese invasion of China, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in China's eastern city of Nanjing were brutally murdered and assaulted by the Imperial Japanese Army over a period of six weeks.
Estimates show that about 300,000 civilians and unarmed Chinese soldiers were murdered, and over 20,000 women raped.
To honor and pay tribute to the victims, China has been formally marking the anniversary as a national day of remembrance since 2014.
And on Wednesday, the annual state memorial ceremony was held at the Memorial Hall for the victims built in Jiangsu province with Chinese President Xi Jinping in attendance.
This marks the second time the Chinese leader joined the ceremony since it was first held three years ago. However, he did not deliver a public message this time.
Instead, China's top political adviser took to the stage and urged China and Japan to draw lessons from the past and look toward the future.
(Mandarin)
Chinese people are willing, along with people from all other countries, to push for making a community of shared destinies,... to be a builder of world peace at all times, a contributor to global development, a guardian of the international order, and jointly create a bright future for all mankind.
Korean President Moon Jae-in, who is on a 4-day state visit to China, also delivered a heartfelt message of condolence, highlighting the hardships Korea and China went through together.
(KOREAN)
. ,
.
We Koreans, deeply empathize with the pain Chinese people suffered from that tragic incident.
My fellow citizens and I sincerely express our condolences to the victims and send our deepest thoughts.
The Korean Ambassador to China, Noh Young-min, attended the state event instead of welcoming President Moon at the airport, as the President said it is more important for the ambassador to take part in such a meaningful occasion.
As of today, less than 100 people who have been recognized as victims of the tragedy are still alive.
