A website to commemorate the massacre carried out by Japanese military forces 65 years ago in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu province, was set up Friday.
The Website (http://njdts.china1840-1949.net.cn), sponsored by the Central Committee of Chinese Communist Youth League and Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, commemorates the over 300,000 Chinese civilians killed in the massacre, exposes the vicious crime committed by Japanese military forces and calls for awareness to maintain the world peace.
Based on detailed documents and images, the website provides an accurate introduction to the events that happened more than half century ago. It appeals to young Chinese to remember the past and to work hard for their country.
