Director Lu Chuan attends a press conference for the film "City of Life and Death" in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, April 19, 2009. The film, with the Chinese title as "Nanjing! Nanjing!", focuses on Chinese soldiers and civilians' fight against Japanese invaders before and after the Nanjing Massacre in 1937. It took four years and cost 80 million yuan (about 11.7 million U.S. dollars) to finish the work. On Dec. 13, 1937, the invading Japanese army occupied Nanjing and launched a six-week massacre. Chinese records show more than 300,000 people, not only disarmed soldiers but also civilians, were murdered. [Xinhua]
