12月13日は南京大虐殺犠犠者国家公祭の日です。「歴史を忘れることは裏切りを意味し、罪を否認することは再犯を意味する」。12月13日是南京大屠杀死难者国家公祭日。“忘记历史就意味着背叛,否认罪责就意味着重犯”。December 13 is the National Memorial Day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre. "Forgetting history means betrayal, and denying guilt means recidivism.".
December 13 marks China's National Memorial Day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre. On this day in 1937, the invading Japanese army captured Nanjing and the atrocities began. Over the next six weeks, more than 300,000 Chinese civilians and unarmed soldiers were killed by the Japanese invaders. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. As of December 2025, only 24 survivors of the Nanjing Massacre are still alive. Today, let us pay tribute to the victims and remember one of the darkest chapters of history.
