NANJING, China, Sept 24 (Bernama-AsiaNet) — With the recent global hit of the film “Dead to Rights”, the history of the Nanjing Massacre has once again come to public attention. As an American volunteer noted, “Understanding history helps us better comprehend how to build peace.”
As China’s first city recognized as an “International City of Peace,” Nanjing has consistently promoted the values of peace and facilitated international dialogue through concrete actions. Since the “Documents of the Nanjing Massacre” were inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register ten years ago, the city has continually explored innovative ways to integrate historical truth with peace education.
