Recently, on December 5, 2025, the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, on the Chinese mainland, unveiled 13 new sets of cultural relics and historical materials. These include letters from Japanese soldiers, photos taken after the occupation of Nanjing, archival records of military medics who died defending the city, and original English and French periodicals. 📝📸
Experts on the Chinese mainland say these fresh records offer irrefutable proof for restoring the truth of history and filling gaps in our collective memory. They provide vivid snapshots of life during the 1937 atrocity and counter efforts to distort or deny what happened.
For young history buffs and social justice advocates, these artifacts are a deep dive into the past. All 13 collections are now on display at the Memorial Hall in Nanjing, inviting visitors to connect with real voices and moments from 1937. Imagine flipping through a wartime letter or paging through a French magazine—history comes alive in your hands. 📖💡
As we remember these stories, it's a reminder of why preserving truth matters. By sharing and learning from such evidence, we strengthen the global push for justice and understanding—one exhibit, one lesson, one generation at a time. 🌏✊
