Wu Xiulan, a 92-year-old survivor of the Nanjing Massacre, visits a memorial hall in the Jiangsu Province capital to mark the 68th anniversary of the atrocities committed by invading Japanese troops. Japanese soldiers occupied Nanjing, then the capital of China, on December 13, 1937, and launched a six-week-long reign of terror. More than 300,000 Chinese, including disarmed soldiers and civilians, were slaughtered. An expansion project at the memorial hall broke ground yesterday. - Xinhua
