This coming Saturday, December 13th, is going to mark China's first-ever National Memorial Day for the Nanjing Massacre.
Today, we continue our series of reports, bringing you the stories of some of those people who managed to survive the massacre by the Japanese army.
"When the Japanese army invaded Nanjing, we started to dig a tunnel inside our cellar and hide inside. But my mom left the tunnel followed my brother to go and find some food. We then heard a gunshot fired by Japanese troops, which ripped through my brother's cotton robe. My mom was shot as well. She was rolling on the ground, yelling "I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die"
