8/7/2005 15:49
The 30-member delegation of the New Party in Taiwan, headed by Chairman Yok
Mu-ming, left Nanjing for Dalian Friday afternoon. Before boarding the plane,
Yok and his entourage were met and given a banquet by Luo Zhijun, secretary of
the Nanjing municipal committee of the Communist Party of China
(CPC). Earlier on Friday, the delegation visited the Mausoleum of Dr. Sun
Yat-sen, forerunner of the Chinese democratic revolution, and offered
condolences to the Chinese victims who were killed in the Nanjing Massacre, an
atrocity committed by invading Japanese troops in December 1937 during World War
II. During his stay in Nanjing, Yok called on all the Chinese compatriots to
draw lessons of history, be united and make concerted efforts to promote peace,
prosperity and reunification of the motherland. He also urged the Japanese
militarist and rightist forces to repent their wartime crimes and take history
as a mirror. Yok and his entourage arrived in Nanjing from Guangzhou Thursday
afternoon and were received by Li Yuanchao, secretary of CPC's Jiangsu
Provincial Committee in the evening. Their eight-day mainland tour, called "a
journey of the Chinese nation", was paid on the 60th anniversary of China's
victory in the resistance war against Japanese aggression. After Dalian, the
third-leg of the tour, the delegation will go to Beijing.
