The Japanese behaved disgracefully during the second world war, this barbarity was specifically allowed free reign on one of the greatest cities of China, only the walls of the old city remain. Hundreds of thousands of civilians, mothers and children were purposely annihilated by Japanese occupying forces in 1937.The commemoration of the Massacre of Nanjing this year occurs before the Qingming festival. This is a time for Chinese to remember their ancestors and honour those of previous generations by tending to their family tombs.
But with the remembering of those family members that died during a vicious war, is it not disproportionate to forget the many millions that died and disappeared under Mao and communism in peace time?
