At 2:30 in the afternoon, in the lecture hall of the Iris Chang Memorial Hall in Huai’an, a ceremony was held for the donation of The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II — Iris Chang’s signed edition. Liu Yu, founder of the Iris Chang Studio and the donor on the day, the staff of the Iris Chang Memorial Hall in Huai’an, and members of the press took part together in the event.
To remember history is to hold the peace that has been hard-won in dear regard. Our generation must strengthen itself, and walk forward along the path that Iris Chang opened — taking history as the lamp by which we see — for the power of one can change the world. (Reporters: Tao Siyuan, Liu Hui)
