December 13, 2022 is the ninth Nanjing Massacre victims National Memorial Day , and it is also the 85th anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre. Although the smoke of gunpowder has gone away, the national humiliation and people’s sorrow cannot be forgotten.
National Memorial Day is the seventh meeting of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress of China in 2014, which will be set on December 13 of each year as the National Memorial Day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre. The commemorative event held in the name of the country is to mourn more than 300,000 compatriots who died in the Nanjing Massacre, expressing their remembrance, and also reminding everyone not to forget history.
85 years ago, on December 13, Nanjing fell, and the Japanese invaders carried out burning, killing and looting in this ancient city for more than 40 days, and more than 300,000 compatriots were brutally slaughtered. Although the Nanjing Massacre has been eighty-five years, it is still a scar on the hearts of all Chinese people and the darkest page in the history of modern human civilization. In just six weeks after the Japanese invading China captured Nanjing, all the sounds of planes, the explosion of shells, the sobs of women, and the cry of babies were intertwined, as if they were still echoing in their ears. The unarmed civilians and soldiers who laid down their weapons were brutally killed. No matter how long the time has passed, we cannot forget that painful history.
See today I hope that the world will be peaceful and there will be no war. Memories are for moving forward better, remembering history, not forgetting national sorrow, cherishing peace, and moving forward. Baihua Shoe Industry here deeply commemorates the deceased, watch over peace together, and wishes the motherland prosperity.
