| 26-Nov-2002 - |
A memorial in honor of the 300,000 Chinese massacred here by invading Japanese troops will see the addition of the bronze footprints of 222 witnesses to the tragedy. A spokesperson for the Nanjing Memorial in honor of compatriots slaughtered in the capital of Jiangsu province, east China, said the footprints will be cast on bronze blocks. The move is designed to caution later generations not to forget history, said the spokesperson. The bronze blocks, to form a pavement 40 meters in length and 1.6 meters in width, will be created piece by piece and assembled together on the square adjacent to the memorial. The memorial planners have collected the footprints and signatures of the 222 witnesses. About 300,000 unarmed Chinese civilians and soldiers were slaughtered 65 years ago by the Japanese troops, an event right-wing Japanese have time and again attempted to write off from history. |
