70 years ago, Japanese Imperial Army troops pushed up the Yangtze River from Shanghai, which had fallen that November. On December 13, 1937, they marched into what was then called Nanking, the capital of China.
Today, reading reports on the ceremonies held in China to mark the 70th anniversary of the Nanjing massacre, i could feel the graving of my heart... Air raid sirens blared followed by observing a moment of silence.
It was well-said, "to better preserve history... to never forget the past... to treasure peace and open the way to the future".
And indeed, harbouring no intention to cultivate animosity against Japanese; there was much disappointment that Japan's atrocities during World War II had not been fully recognised.
