The government of Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu Province, plans to expand the scale of the existing Nanjing Memorial Hall of Compatriots Murdered in the Nanjing Massacre and build a world peace square and a park nearby, a source said yesterday.

The move is designed to mark the 60th anniversary of the victory in the World War against Fascism as well as the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in China (1937-1945).
