China News Service, Nanjing, February 24 (Reporter Shen Ran) On the 24th, the reporter learned from the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Invaders that Zhu Zaiqiang, a survivor of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese invaders, died in the early morning of that day at the age of 90.
So far, only 60 survivors have been registered with the Nanjing Japanese Invasion Victims Aid Association.
According to the oral account left by Zhu Zaiqiang when he was alive, in December 1937, Nanjing fell, and his family of ten ran away from home.
Zhu Zaiqiang, who was only 5 years old at the time, saw with his own eyes a large number of corpses of ordinary people shot and killed by the Japanese army in the paddy fields near Jiangdongmen.
"We have to step on their corpses, go down from the ridge, and then climb to this ridge. There is no way, we can't walk from the path, next to the place occupied by the Japanese devils." Facing the cruelty of the war and surviving the catastrophe, This experience made Zhu Zaiqiang know that peace and tranquility are hard to come by, so he resolutely put on a military uniform in his youth, went to the Korean battlefield, and became the "cutest person" to defend his country.
According to the staff of the memorial hall, over the years, old man Zhu Zaiqiang has often come to the hall to participate in activities, giving "pre-trip lessons" to prospective international students who are going to go abroad. It tells us that we must never forget the suffering of the country, the suffering of the nation, and the sins of the people." (End)
