Xia Shuqin (2nd L), a survivor of the Nanjing Massacre, stands in silent tribute in front of a wall inscribed the name list of victims at the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre in Nanjing, capital of East China’s Jiangsu Province, yesterday. Japanese troops captured Nanjing, then China’s capital, Dec. 13 of 1937 and started a 40-odd-day slaughter. More than 300,000 Chinese soldiers who had laid down their arms and civilians were slaughtered, and over 20,000 women were raped.Xinhua
