Podcasts about Nanjing Massacre

Poon Lim, born in 1918 on Hainan Island, China, grew up in a fishing village before moving to Malaysia at age ten. As Japan invaded China in the 1930s, sparking the Second Sino-Japanese War, Lim's father sent him away to avoid conscription, possibly fearing atrocities like the Nanjing Massacre. Lim joined the British Merchant Navy as a cabin boy, but faced discrimination and abuse, leading him to leave in 1937 for Hong Kong, where he became a mechanic.   In 1939, with Britain at war with Germany, the Navy improved conditions to recruit more Chinese seamen, including Lim, who joined the SS Ben Lomond in 1942 as a Second Mess Steward. On November 23, 1942, the unescorted, lightly armed ship was torpedoed by the German U-172 submarine off Brazil. Lim survived the sinking, which killed 54 of the 55 crew members, by clinging to debris and eventually finding a stocked life raft.   Alone at sea, Lim survived 133 days by rationing supplies—water, hardtack, chocolate, pemmican, milk, and lime juice—building a canopy for shade and rainwater, and crafting tools to fish and hunt birds. Despite being a weak swimmer, he tied himself to the raft and later killed a shark for its blood and meat when dehydration threatened his life. Multiple ships passed him without rescuing him, possibly mistaking him for a Japanese sailor or fearing a U-boat trap.   On April 1943, Brazilian fishermen rescued him near Pará after he drifted close to land, emaciated and weak. After recovering, Lim received the British Empire Medal from King George VI for his courage and resourcefulness. His story influenced Royal Navy survival manuals, and he later became a U.S. citizen, settling in Brooklyn with his family until his death in 1991 at age 72. Lim holds the record for the longest solo survival on a life raft, a testament to his extraordinary resilience.   00:00 Welcome to the Dark Oak 00:30 100 Episode Celebration and Giveaway 03:30 The Lake Oconee Murders   Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poon_Lim https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/sole-survivor-of-the-sinking-of-the-benlomond-in-wwii-poon-lim-set-a-record-for-133-days-adrift-at-sea/news-story/9c63348c42762182e17bcc3c2ddbe1a8 https://www.historydefined.net/poon-lim/embed/#?secret=sVREifRlva#?secret=E0phajhSTT https://www.joe.ie/fitness-health/133-days-at-sea-in-an-eight-foot-raft-meet-poon-lim-39850 Jones, S.

Wang Jingwei was a national hero for his role in China's emergence from imperial rule in the early 20th century. In 1937, Japan invaded China committing atrocities including the Nanjing Massacre. Wang advocated negotiation with Japan but his colleagues wouldn't listen. So, in 1939 he signed an agreement with Japan, which made him leader of a Japanese-controlled puppet government in Nanjing. Many Chinese have hated him ever since – his name is synonymous with the word ‘Hanjian', a traitor to China. But Pan Chia-sheng's memories of living under Wang Jingwei's government tell a very different story. He speaks to Ben Henderson.(Photo: Wang Jingwei.

On July 7, 1937, the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II began with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. It is also known as the Lugou Bridge Incident. Within days of the small skirmish with 100 Chinese garrison troops, the Japanese had brought in 180,000 troops. After that, the fighting between the Chinese and the Japanese did not stop until 1945.Japan then attacked Shanghai. Nationalist troops resisted for three months, including with hidden artillery that killed the Japanese Empress' cousin during an amphibious landing. But the Japanese eventually captured China's largest port city and turned their attention to the national capital of Nanjing, after sacking the historic, cultural city of Suzhou.Chiang Kai-shek ordered Nanjing to be both defended and evacuated. Treasures from the Forbidden City were moved west, along with government officials. Soldiers were brought in and they fortified in anticipation of the attack. Refugees streamed west, including some to Nanjing. Trapped between the attacking columns and the Yangzi River, only a small number were able to evacuate once the battle was lost. Those who were not able to find refuge in the Nanjing Safety Zone were most often killed or raped and murdered. The Nanjing Massacre, also known as the Rape of Nanking, was one of the worst war crimes in human history.John Rabe, a Nazi, helped save thousands, perhaps even two hundred thousand lives as he led the Nanjing Safety Zone. He used his Nazi armband to get Japanese soldiers to leave the Chinese alone. He reported Japanese abuses to German officials, including Hitler, but in Germany, after being transferred back to Berlin, he was taken and interrogated by the Gestapo.Robert Wilson, a surgeon, refused to leave and gave medical care day and night for free, at the cost of his own health.Minnie Vautrin gave up food, took beatings and had her life threatened for protecting Chinese in the Safety Zone, which the Japanese did not recognize. Her efforts to save Chinese lives and spirits cost her life. She told the Chinese that China would not perish and that Japan would fail in the end.It did and War Criminals were tried and executed, both in Tokyo and in Nanjing, for acts during the Nanjing occupation.The Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall is today a place of remembrance and of education.Image: "Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall" by kevin dooley is licensed under CC BY 2.0.

China has held a memorial ceremony to mourn the 300,000 victims of the Nanjing Massacre.

Ma Ying-jeou, former chairman of the Chinese Kuomintang party, expressed deep condolences on Wednesday for the compatriots who lost their lives in the Nanjing Massacre and said that history shall never be forgotten.3月29日，中国国民党前主席马英九向在南京大屠杀中遇难的同胞表示深切哀悼，并表示历史永远不会被遗忘。Ma said that Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Straits should be self-reliant and should fight back with courage when being bullied and humiliated by foreign powers.马英九说，海峡两岸的中国人应该自立自强，在受到外国列强的欺凌和羞辱时，应该勇敢地反击。He made the remarks while visiting the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, with a group of Taiwan students ahead of Qingming Festival, or Tomb Sweeping Day, which falls on Wednesday.在3月29日前夕，马英九与一群台湾学生一起参观了江苏省南京市侵华日军南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆，并发表了上述讲话。The Nanjing Massacre took place when Japanese troops captured Nanjing, the then-Chinese capital, on Dec 13, 1937. Over six weeks, they killed approximately 300,000 Chinese civilians and unarmed soldiers in one of the most barbaric episodes of the World Anti-Fascist War.1937年12月13日，日军攻占当时的中国首都南京，发生了南京大屠杀事件。在六周的时间里，他们杀害了大约30万中国平民和手无寸铁的士兵，这是世界反法西斯战争中最野蛮的事件之一。Around 9:30 am, the group led by Ma arrived at the memorial hall, which officially opened to the public on Aug 15, 1985, and was built on the site of Jiangdong Gate mass murder in the Nanjing Massacre.上午9点30分左右，马英九带领的访问团抵达纪念馆，该纪念馆于1985年8月15日正式向公众开放，建于南京大屠杀江东门大屠杀遗址。Ma and the group of students from Taiwan looked at sculptures depicting damaged city walls, broken Japanese sabers and the heads and arms of the victims. They then paid a silent tribute to the victims.马英九和一群来自台湾的学生观看了雕塑，这些雕塑描绘了受损的城墙、破损的日本军刀以及受害者的头部和手臂。随后，他们向遇难者默哀。Speaking to Xinhua News Agency, Ma said that although he had read some books and seen photos about the Nanjing Massacre, "I have never been so shocked as today".在接受新华社采访时，马英九表示，虽然他读过一些关于南京大屠杀的书籍和照片，但“我从来没有像今天这样震惊”。He said that the massacre was "a rare bestial act in human history, and the Chinese are the biggest victims".他说，大屠杀是“人类历史上罕见的野蛮行为，中国人是最大的受害者”。Ma said he hoped that the Taiwan students accompanying him would find their visit to be instructive. Such knowledge will serve as an important reference for their future development, he added.马英九说，他希望陪同他的台湾学生将发现他们的访问是有益的。他补充说，这些知识将为他们未来的发展提供重要参考。The memorial hall's collection comprises nearly 4,000 photographs, almost 10,000 artifacts and over 260 pieces of footage, all of which present indisputable facts about the massacre.纪念馆的藏品包括近4000张照片，近10000件文物和260多件录像，所有这些都是关于大屠杀的无可争辩的事实。The memorial hall has hosted a number of exchange programs with Taiwan compatriots over the past few years, including a 2007 seminar on cross-Straits studies of the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45).在过去的几年里，纪念馆举办了许多与台湾同胞的交流项目，包括2007年两岸抗日战争(1931-45)历史研究研讨会。In 2018, the memorial hall held an exhibition on the Nanjing Massacre in New Taipei City, Taiwan.2018年，纪念馆在台湾新北市举办了南京大屠杀展览。The Nanjing visit was part of Ma's trip to visit his ancestral home on the mainland on the occasion of Tomb Sweeping Day. The group will also visit Wuhan, Changsha, Chongqing and Shanghai.南京之行是马英九在清明节期间回老家的一部分。访问团还将访问武汉、长沙、重庆和上海。Massacre英 [ˈmæsəkə(r)] 美 [ˈmæsəkər]n. 屠杀ancestral英 [ænˈsestrəl] 美 [ænˈsestrəl]adj. 祖先的

Evan Kail is a wise-cracking antique dealer and TikToker. Last September, his world turned upside down when one of his videos ignited an international media frenzy. In his words, the TikTok created a "perfect storm." The subject of the video? A photo album from WWII which Evan believed contained photographs of the Nanjing Massacre — a horrific episode during Japan's invasion of China in 1937. This episode is about historical memory, why the Nanjing Massacre is still an incredibly sensitive topic in China and Japan, social media virality, and the true contents of that WWII photo album.

This week Chris is talking about an overlooked atrocity during the late 1930's in China — the Nanjing Massacre. The Japanese had been fighting with the Chinese for years and during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese had every intention of taking over more land and claiming it as their own.   After the Battle of Shanghai, the Japan thought that capturing the capital city of Nanjing, would make China surrender and they would win. China's Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-Shek, was afraid to lose more of his men and told only them to evacuate the city of Nanking, leaving the citizens unable to defend themselves properly. A safety zone was created by a International committee and one of them was a Nazi.. yep that's right a Nazi ! It was an unfortunate 6 week massacre  Women were brutally raped and killed, children were thrown in the air for bayonet practice, men were buried alive. It was a very upsetting time.General Iwane Matsui who ordered this invasion was executed for their crimes and since then, Japan has tried to forget this horrible time. Listen to this horrible time but that the Japanese still had time to take some pictures?! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week Chris Distefano AKA Christories is coming to you talking about the A BOMB ! That's right, the atomic bomb! Everyone thinks it was a direct response to Japan's attack of Pearl Harbor, but it wasn't! It was for many other reasons, such as the Treaty of Versailles, Nanjing Massacre and for not surrendering! We got FDR running the show, talking to congress to let us join the war, Winston Churchill telling us we got to help him with the Nazis, it's just a whole mess! We finally get Russia to help and get a team together to create a bomb. Enter Physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer! He was not the father of the A Bomb but definitely a great father figure!! They make the atomic bombs, yes TWO bombs, in New Mexico even though it was called the Manhattan Project -- what?! It was very unfortunate, but yes we dropped TWO nuclear bombs.  Tell us what you think in the comments!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We do not have a feel good episode this week for you, this week we're talking about how horrible Japan can be? Has been? Either one works, choose whichever you wish.Japan is not all Ningen, ninjas, suicide forests, Haikus and Godzilla it has a surprisingly (to some) really horrible past. There's alot and in this episode Chelsie had to narrow it down to comfort women and Japanese Cannibalism in this episode.First up is comfort woman, Chelsie goes through the when, what, where and how (why not included) to give you an idea of a what the sex slaves of the Imperial Japanese Army endured (AKA Comfort Women). We look at the Nanjing Massacre for set up and then move on to Indonesia and share story shared by Jan Ruff of her experience. Shockingly Japan would largely deny any of it ever happened.Onto Cannibalism, at the hands of Japan of course. We talk about some specific examples like the Kokkoda track, WWII and the Suzuki unit as well as the American Pilots.We know what you're thinking; "maybe they had no other choice and it was a matter of survival" well, we've got news for you! And it is that it was definitely not that. Brief appearance by George H. W. Bush.... we talk about him, he doesn't actually want to be on our podcast.

The second Sino-Japanese War began in July 1937.  Which side started it can be debated.  We do know it was an eight-year horror show.  It would overlap and influence the coming second world war.  The opening actions of the Japanese war saw terrible human casualties.  These portended what was coming. In this episode I focus on the opening phases of the war.  I end the episode with a question or thought.  What group benefited the most from the disastrous events of the Sino-Japanese War?

Warning – this episode contains descriptions of war crimes As darkness descends on Nanjing, our trip to the city comes to an end. We look at the rise of Japanese ultranationalism and fascism, their unhinged campaign to take over China, and the most famous atrocity the city is known for. Twit: @SMKYpodcast

英语新闻|南京通报：玄奘寺供奉侵华日军战犯牌位事件调查处理情况A woman has been put under criminal detention for commemorating Buddhist memorial tablets of Japanese war criminals in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, which has angered numerous Chinese and led to heated discussion in the country.江苏省南京市一名女子因供奉侵华日军战犯牌位被刑事拘留，此举令无数中国人感到愤怒，并在全国引起热议。The woman, Wu Aping, commemorated five Japanese war criminals and Wilhelmina "Minnie" Vautrin. The woman detained said she was trying to free herself from a nightmare that had haunted her since she learned of the atrocities by the invading Japanese army during the Nanjing massacre, according to the investigation team formed by the Nanjing government in a notice issued Sunday night.吴啊萍在玄奘寺供奉五名侵华日军战犯和美国人明妮·魏特琳。据南京市政府调查组在7月24日晚发布的通知中称，据吴啊萍供述，自从她到南京了解到侵华日军战犯的暴行后，产生心理阴影，并长期被噩梦缠绕。Wu, born in 1990, came to live in Nanjing in 2000 and worked in a hospital in 2013 before she quit the job to become a layman of a local temple in 2019. She paid 3,000 yuan ($444) for commemorating the five war criminals and Vautrin at the Xuanzang Temple from 2018 to 2022.吴啊萍出生于1990年，2000年迁至南京居住，2013年进入南京某医院工作，2019年辞职去成为当地某寺庙当居士。自2018至2022年，她花费3000元在玄奘寺供奉五名侵华日军战犯和美国人魏特琳。Wu confessed to police that she had been haunted by nightmares for years after learning about the massacre, especially what the five Japanese war criminals had done to the Chinese people.吴啊萍向警方供述，在她了解到南京大屠杀，尤其是五名日本战犯对中国人民的所作所为后，长期被噩梦缠绕。She therefore had developed the wrong idea of "relieving resentment" and "putting herself out of misery" by commemorating them at a Buddhist temple.在接触佛教后，她产生了通过供奉五名侵华日军战犯“解怨释结”、“脱离苦难”的错误想法。She also wanted to "help the soul" of Vautrin after learning of her kindness of saving Chinese during the massacre but who committed suicide for PTSD when she went back to the US.吴啊萍在了解到美国传教士魏特琳女士在侵华日军南京大屠杀期间保护女性的善举，因受战争刺激，回国后在家中自杀后，想通过供奉帮其解脱。The investigation team confirmed that Wu had visited the hospital three times for insomnia and anxiety since 2017 and took sedative and hypnotic drugs for treatment.经调查，吴啊萍自2017年以来曾因失眠、焦虑等症状，先后3次到医院就诊，并服用镇静催眠药物。Wu was detained for suspicion of the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble on Friday.7月22日，吴啊萍因涉嫌寻衅滋事罪被公安机关刑事拘留。The abbot of Xuanzang Temple, Li Yijiang, was replaced by the bureau of ethnic and religious affairs of Nanjing's Xuanwu district, and the operation of the temple has been suspended to correct its misconduct.南京市玄武区民宗局已撤换玄奘寺主要负责人李义将职务，责令玄奘寺停止日常活动，并会同相关部门立即对其进行整顿。At least nine officials have been held responsible for the incident, including Party chief and director of the Nanjing Ethnic and Religious Bureau and two deputy directors of the bureau.对南京市民宗局党组书记、局长和两名副局长在内的9名官员依纪依规依法作出严肃处理。The Nanjing Massacre took place on Dec 13, 1937. The Japanese troops killed more than 300,000 Chinese civilians and unarmed soldiers over a six-week period, according to Chinese historians.南京大屠杀发生在1937年12月13日，日本战犯在6周内杀死了超过30万中国平民及战俘。Of the five war criminals commemorated, Matsui Iwane was one of the Class-A war criminals held responsible for the Nanjing Massacre. Hisao Tani, a Class-B war criminal, committed hideous crimes during the massacre.在被供奉的五名日本战犯中，松井石根是日本陆军大将，甲级战犯，南京大屠杀的主要责任人之一。谷寿夫，日本陆军中将，在南京大屠杀中犯下了骇人听闻的罪行。Takeshi Noda was a Class-C war criminal who participated in a "killing 100 people competition" with Mukai Toshiaki in Nanjing, and Tanaka Junyoshi killed more than 300 unarmed soldiers and civilians with a saber.野田毅是一名丙级战犯，在南京与向井敏明进行了骇人听闻的杀人比赛，野蛮砍杀中国军民105人。田中军吉携军刀砍杀平民逾300人。 detention英[dɪˈtenʃn]；美[dɪˈtenʃn]n. 拘留，监禁; 放学后留校atrocity英[əˈtrɒsəti]；美[əˈtrɑːsəti]n. 暴行，残暴; 滔天罪行massacre英[ˈmæsəkə(r)]；美[ˈmæsəkər]n. 大屠杀，残杀; （牲畜的）成批屠宰vt. 屠杀，残杀; 损害，毁坏; 彻底击败; 惨败misconduct英[ˌmɪsˈkɒndʌkt]；美[ˌmɪsˈkɑndʌkt]n. 行为不正，不规矩; 处理不当; （尤指官吏等的）胡作非为，渎职hideous英[ˈhɪdiəs]；英[ˈhɪdiəs]adj. 令人惊骇的; 极其丑陋的，可怕的; 丑恶的，讨厌的; 媸

The Rape of Nanjing, also known as the Nanjing Massacre or the Nanking Massacre, was one of the most horrific and lesser-known atrocities of World War II that lasted for a total of six weeks. This brutal event was perpetrated by the Japanese against the Chinese people who lived in Nanjing. The Japanese military had no regard for the lives of these innocent people and used a wide range of unethical and horrific actions to nearly exterminate the city. There were human experiments and even competitions where the Japanese would see who could kill the most people the fastest, which was reported in local Japanese newspapers as if it were some type of game show. This episode is a bit dark and is heavy with some wicked evil things. So, you have been warned. 

In the winter of 1937-38, Japan launched an assault of previously unprecedented brutality against a Chinese civilian population in the nationalist capital of Nanjing. Japan's desigs for China and South East Asia rested on being able to break the power of China's Guomindang nationalists, who were more inclined to build alliances with European powers or America. The Japanese invaders wanted China to be reoriented towards Japan as the power that would lead China along with the rest of Asia. A symbolic display of violence and destruction at Nanjing would demonstrate to China that further resistance was futile. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

During the battle of World War Two, in the Japanese-occupied city of Nanjing, China, posters were plastered in every corner encouraging unarmed Chinese civilians to return to their homes. The soldiers on the posters were depicted as being kind and generous, with illustrations of them embracing children of civilians and distributing food to those in need. The posters read: "Come home! We will give you food! Trust us! We will save you!" However, when those thousands of citizens eventually returned to the city, what awaited them was brutal torture. Some of these unsuspecting and defenseless people were cut open or nailed to tree trunks and sliced like meat. Even more appalling, some were sprayed with gasoline and then shot at, while others were forced to sit naked on the hot coals from stoves. Some of the victims had acid thrown at them until their skin began to erode, and others had their organs directly eaten by the Japanese soldiers. As if this weren't horrific enough, an even greater number of people of Nanjing were raped, buried alive, shot to death, and treated like mice for various experiments. Many missionaries who had eyewitness accounts of this human tragedy claimed that they saw hell for the first time.  This tragic massacre occurred in 1937 and is known historically as the Nanjing Massacre. What took place in Nanjing that year can only be compared to the horror that also was to take place in Auschwitz, yet many people know little about the former.

In honor of season 2 of Euphoria being released on HBO Max this week, and for my cheating, dishonest, liar of a “partner” to not be able to watch it since I logged out of my own Hulu and his other girlfriend's HBO max accounts on both of his tvs per her request upon discovering the extent of said aforementioned dishonesty and manipulation while watching his dog, his “daughter”, for him while he was on vacation in Puerto Rico–a country he might be staying in, but one that was bailed out by the guy whose apartment I stayed in one street away from the Louvre the first year I went to Paris. Suck on my balls. It has been a week, let me tell ya. I really, REALLY, REALLY cannot stress how much I absolutely did not need this character development. But, as just seems to be the case with me and “life”, probably the most unfortunate series of events have begun unraveling and I really regret making so many jokes about being the devil and going down to Georgia, because I am just emotionally getting my ass absolutely demolished and I don't necessarily think I needed to. I feel like anyone who has read enough of the blog can maybe just take some sympathy towards that and all I have to say is that at 28 years old, I understand why so many single old ladies are so content in their old age to share the wisdom that is ignoring men. I get why my parents were so strict with me. The world is not a nice place. Turns out, it hurts even worse when it's from someone who goes above and beyond to emphasize how they choose you, or the way they plan their life with you, the way they phrase things to be inclusive (and point it out). Mu'fuckin diversity consultants. Someone who epitomizes and brings you back to perhaps the only formal community you remain within, the Carolina community, who evokes its presence to make you feel at home, belonged, and appreciated, just to lie to you. Someone who has heard and watched you speak on the things that have impacted you, and still impact you, who asks you to trust them, to believe in them, while being objectively dishonest, and not just to me. It just goes to show that if the value of your words have no meaning, how do you expect anyone to allow you to lead them. When you lie to yourself, for fear of the truth, your version of “honesty” becomes subjective. THIS is my villain origin story (as if we didn't have enough of THOSE already). Thank the gods for Megara, Maleficent, Cruella de Vil at times, all the strong, sassy, Disney women ahead of their time for reminding me how to channel my rage: into disgust and spite for the system that has enabled whatever these “men” are. This is what happens when we have people like Donald Trump avoid the draft, whose parents and lines of financing likely benefited from it extensively, while all the truly good ones went off and died from guerilla warfare tactics because again, we are always the terrorists on foreign land, why would other countries not view us in such a light–the civil affairs emergence in the army is just as stunted as “public health” programs in the USA. It is no WONDER we have such a cultural emphasis on avoiding reality. Which, like, what country doesn't? I mean, if the Japanese government can deny the Nanjing Massacre despite the International Military Tribunal's judgment, the USA denying the lasting impacts of racism and the necessity for public health and progressive legislation seems pretty on par, honestly. I mean, as far as international delusions go, the USA also competes heavily with Russia and China in these Olympics as well, is all I'm saying.

A teacher at Shanghai Aurora College has been fired for telling her students that the casualty numbers in the notorious Nanjing Massacre are not supported by real data. She called reports on the atrocity “a folk rumor.” Some people argue the comments are not that big a deal as it's a matter of academic freedom of speech. Is that so? The student who put the video of the teacher's lecture online is facing bullying. Some people call him a traitor. Does he deserve it? Could the student have handled the situation better? And there are rising attempts especially in Japan to rewrite history or deny the occurrence of the Nanjing Massacre and other war crimes committed by the Japanese military in the rest of Asia during WWII. What's prompted such a phenomenon? In this episode of Chat Lounge, join host Tu Yun, writer and columnist Einar Tangen, and Associate Professor David Moser from Beijing Capital Normal University for a close look at the issue.

1. 南京大屠杀死难者国家公祭仪式举行︱Nanjing holds national memorial ceremony for Nanjing Massacre victims In front of the darkly-dressed crowd, China's national flag flew at half-mast as the country held its eighth national memorial ceremony Monday for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre.2021年12月13日是第八个南京大屠杀死难者国家公祭日，公祭仪式在侵华日军南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆集会广场举行，现场庄严肃穆，国旗下半旗。At exactly 10:01 a.m., sirens started to blare and the city came to a halt. Drivers in the downtown area stopped their cars and honked; pedestrians paused for a minute of silence in remembrance of the victims.上午10点01分，南京市拉响防空警报，全场向南京大屠杀死难者默哀，汽车停驶鸣笛，行人就地默哀。The Nanjing Massacre took place when Japanese troops captured the city on Dec. 13, 1937. Over six weeks, they killed more than 300,000 Chinese civilians and unarmed soldiers in one of the most barbaric episodes of World War II.1937年12月13日，侵华日军制造了南京大屠杀惨案。六周时间里，大量平民及战俘被日军杀害，无数家庭支离破碎，遇难人数超过30万，是日军在二战中最惨绝人寰的暴行，是人类历史的至暗时刻。In 2014, China's top legislature designated Dec. 13 as the national memorial day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre.2014年，国家最高立法机关通过决定，将12月13日确定为国家公祭日。2. 全球人口预计在2064年达到顶峰︱World population set to decline for the first time in centuries says studyAccording to a new study published in theLancet journal, the world population will decline for the first time in the next century.发表在《柳叶刀》杂志上的一项新研究表明，下个世纪全球人口将首次下降。The world's population is currently estimated to be at 7.8 billion people. According to the estimate, the global population would peak at around 9.7 billion in 2064. Then it will fall to 8.79 billion in 2100.目前，全球人口约为78亿。据预测，全球人口将在2064年达到峰值，约为97亿。然后在2100年下降到87.9亿。 Due to low birth rates and aging populations, up to 23 countries, including Japan, Thailand, Italy, Spain, Portugal, South Korea, and others, might see their populations fall by more than 50%.由于低出生率和人口老龄化，包括日本、泰国、意大利、西班牙、葡萄牙、韩国等在内的多达23个国家的人口可能会下降50%以上。China is the world's most populated country. But it will see its population drop from 1.4 billion in 2017 to 732 million in 2100.中国是目前世界上人口最多的国家。而到2100年，国内人口将从2017年的14亿下降到7.32亿。Lead study author and Professor of Global Health at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), Stein Emil Vollset, told IFLScience, “The last time that global population declined was in the mid 14th century, due to the Black Plague. If our forecast is correct, it will be the first time population decline is driven by fertility decline, as opposed to events such as a pandemic or famine.”研究牵头人、华盛顿大学健康指标与评估研究所全球健康教授斯坦因·埃米尔·沃尔赛特指出：“全球人口上一次下降是在14世纪中叶，是黑死病导致的。如果预测正确，这将是第一次由生育率下降而导致人口下降，而不是由于疫情或饥荒等原因。”The worldwide total fertility rate is likely to steadily drop, from 2.37 in 2017 to 1.66 in 2100. It is significantly below the minimum rate (2.1 live births per woman) necessary to maintain population levels, he added.全球总生育率或将稳步下降，从2017年的2.37下降到2100年的1.66，远低于维持人口水平所需的最低生育率——平均每位女性2.1的生育率。3. 疫情期间美国离职潮引发“劝留”面谈︱Employers roll out 'stay' interviews as record number of Americans walk off the jobAmericans are walking away from their jobs in record numbers as remote work has uncoupled jobs from geography, and droves of employees are re-evaluating the relationships they have with their employers.自从远程工作让员工摆脱了地域限制，美国的离职人数创下了历史新高，大批员工开始重新评估他们和雇主之间的关系。To keep workers happy and on the job, more companies are turning to “stay interviews,” one-on-one meetings with top performers to give those key people the chance to talk about what works, and what doesn't work, about their current jobs.为了让员工快乐地留下来工作，越来越多的公司开始进行“劝留面谈”，与业绩最突出的员工进行一对一会面，让这些业务骨干有机会谈一谈现在工作中哪些方面是有成效的，哪些是行不通的。 Managers who conduct stay interviews are coached to ask workers open-ended questions about what they like most about their jobs, what they dislike and under what events or circumstances they might leave.开展劝留面谈的主管人员会按照培训内容询问员工一些开放式问题，比如这份工作让他们最喜欢的是什么，他们不喜欢什么，以及在什么情境下他们会离职。Sometimes workers switch jobs in pursuit of higher salaries, but recruiters say a significant factor is the higher expectations of job candidates today when it comes to feeling seen and supported by their bosses.有时候员工跳槽是为了追求更高的薪酬，但是招聘人员指出了另一个重要因素，那就是现在求职者对于得到老板重视和支持的期待更高了。Other departures are spurred by chances to have more flexible hours, remote work or professional development opportunities.其他离职原因还包括想获得更多弹性工作时间、希望远程工作或谋求职业发展机会。Dave Carvajal, the CEO of Dave Partners, a tech industry recruiting firm, said small businesses, which struggle to compete with huge companies in salaries and benefits, have more at stake and tend to use processes like stay interviews more frequently.技术行业招聘公司Dave Partners的首席执行官戴夫·卡瓦哈尔表示：“对小公司来说，薪酬和福利竞争不过大企业，人才流失风险更高，劝留面谈次数往往更为频繁。”halt英 [hɔːlt]；美[hɔːlt] n. 停止；暂停half-mast英 [ˌhɑːf ˈmɑːst]；美[ˌhæf ˈmæst] n. 半旗；下半旗v. 下半旗adj. 半旗的fertility英 [fəˈtɪləti]；美[fərˈtɪləti] n. 生育力；富饶；丰富uncouple英 [ˌʌnˈkʌpl]；美[ˌʌnˈkʌpl] v. 使（二者）分离，分开；脱钩one-on-one英 [ˌwʌn ɒn ˈwʌn]；美[ˌwʌn ɑːn ˈwʌn] adj. 面对面的；一对一的

A ceremony has been held at the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre to remember the victims of Japanese aggression during World War II.

Content Warning: Wam Crimes. The bad ones. We continue our coverage of the invasion and occupation of Nanjing  during the Second Sino-Japanese War. Once the Imperial Army had fully occupied Nanjing, and atrocities became almost constant, General Iwane Matsui seemed to finally realise that he had lost all control over his troops... and yet the war crimes continued regardless.

Content Warning: War Crimes. The bad ones. From December 1937, during the Second Sino-Japanese War, an atrocity carried out by the Japanese Imperial Army took place over about 7 weeks. Even within a century that saw some of the worst and most far-reaching crimes against humanity, the event that came to be known as the Rape of Nanking would still be seen as exceptionally horrifying.

December 22, 2020 The second World War in China is among the least known chapters of Word War II, yet it is crucial in shaping the politics of post-war Asia into the present moment. The way the war is remembered in China has changed over the years and keeps on changing. The recent memorial ceremony on December 13, 2020, remembered the Nanjing Massacre of 1937. It is only the seventh year since a National Memorial Day has been instituted. How has China’s interpretation of WWII changed? How does it differ from other countries in the region? And what are the implications for contemporary global and domestic politics? To answer these and other questions we are joined by Professor Rana Mitter of Oxford University. In his view today “it is possible to spot aspects of China’s collective sense of WWII in every aspect of public life from movies to social media communities to official museums and plenty of others too.” The interview was led by MERICS senior analyst John Lee.

As the name itself implies, The Rape of Nanking is no light subject. It is one of many of Japan's extended list of war crimes committed by commanders and their troops during World War II. Throughout the seven-week pillaging of what was once Nanking, an estimate of 20,000 to 80,000 Chinese women raped and forced into a life of prostitution as “comfort women”, and 50,000 to 300,000 Chinese civilians were brutalized and savagely murdered. ​Despite the fact that the massacre was carried out by the Japanese, the Chinese government could partially be blamed as well, due to the Nationalist leader, Chiang Kai-Shek's inadequate handling of the event, and Communist leader Mao Zedong's following coverup. The Rape of Nanking has been a topic of debate for historians in the past few decades as no one can seem to pinpoint the exact amount of people decimated, the extent of the acts committed by the Japanese Imperial Army, and whether it was comparable to the Holocaust.

The fact that secrecy and the concealment of information is important in today’s China is hardly a secret in itself, yet the ways that this secrecy is structured and sustained in such a vast society is not especially well understood. A lot more must be at play than simply the PRC state’s vast censorship apparatus when it comes to obscuring everything from the leadership’s private lives to dark chapters of country’s recent history. Margaret Hillenbrand’s Negative Exposures: Knowing What Not to Know in Contemporary China (Duke University Press, 2020) sheds unique light on the operation of what she calls China’s culture of ‘public secrecy’. Focusing on the storied afterlives and artistic re-purposings of photographic images from key junctures of China’s twentieth-century – the Nanjing Massacre, the Cultural Revolution and the Tiananmen Square protests – Hillenbrand shows how they expose the subtle contours of what it is permissible and what impermissible to know. The book’s highly original and at times haunting exploration of photographic afterlives in art, literature and online offers up a nuanced but also forceful picture of how secrecy reigns in the PRC, and indeed beyond.  Ed Pulford is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam.

The book’s highly original and at times haunting exploration of photographic afterlives in art, literature and online offers up a nuanced but also forceful picture of how secrecy reigns in the PRC, and indeed beyond.  Ed Pulford is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Amsterdam. His research focuses on friendships and histories between the Chinese, Korean and Russian worlds, and northeast Asian indigenous groups. Learn more about your ad choices.

The fact that secrecy and the concealment of information is important in today’s China is hardly a secret in itself, yet the ways that this secrecy is structured and sustained in such a vast society is not especially well understood. A lot more must be at play than simply the PRC state’s vast censorship apparatus when it comes to obscuring everything from the leadership’s private lives to dark chapters of country’s recent history.

Cody and CJ try their absolute best not to cry in this episode. The Nanjing Massacre is also known as the Rape of Nanking and it was 6 weeks of the worst shit you've never heard of. @justicetimemachine justicetimemachine@gmail.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/justice-time-machine/support

WARNING: Graphic Content. The gang covers, or tries to cover, the Nanjing Massacre, also known as the Rape of Nanjing. If that last title makes you uneasy, you may want to skip this week.

the weekend show ep 28 | We discuss 'The Girl and The Picture' a documentary about the Nanjing Massacre in China in the late 1930s.

Nowadays, Japan and South Korea are fighting. Usually, people says this is a trade war. As a result, dropping Asia's trade markets that are influenced by China and America's trade war and Hong Kong's protests. Are these incidents were necessary to be occurred? Hong Kong's people are fighting for their future and freedom. Donald Trump is seeking another presidential term. However, there were tensions between two countries for long times. So, I would say the trade war was inevitable. Seems like Japan picked a fight with South Korea. On August 2nd, Japan remove South Korea from “WHITE LIST” out of 27 other countries which have Proper Controls and carry out Sensitive Items like Military Equipments. Japan alleged that South Korea shipped these items to third countries like North Korea and Middle Eastern countries. Except the Japan's official's statement, no evidences were shown by them. Japan tighten the shipping of three chemical products which South Korea desperately needs for semiconductors and flat panel screens used in TV and Smartphones. Japan shares 90% of the two of chemicals. On August 22nd, South Korea said it will scrap an intelligence-sharing pact GSOMIA that enabled Japan to get accurate informations about North Korea's missile from South Korea. It helped making an announcement of evacuation to Japan's citizen quickly and made a tie between two countries' military. The agreement will remain valid until November 22nd, The Korean Herald reported. Obviously, PM Abe is seeking another term of prime ministership. However, he couldn't get two thirds of the seats which allow them to change the article in the constitution in last Upper house's election. Moreover, he failed the deal between Trump. In spite of Trump's visit of Tokyo, he couldn't fix an unfair car tax. And more, he agreed to buy useless corns that even China rejected to take from U.S. Last week, Trump and Abe held an announcement together. Apparently, this deal was made before the upper house's election. A few news agency like Mainichi and Tokyo News Paper reported the rumours of deals at that moments meanwhile the other news media kept silence about it. It hit Japan's farmer that Liberal party's main supporters. Naturally, politician uses national interests for their opinions. Abe government likely moved too far to tribe supporters. As a consequence what we lost. The tie with South Korea. We've been having conflicts such as the conspiracy case of both navy's contacts. Useless mass media accused South Korea without showing any critical proofs. Bloody media escalated tensions. Empty brain celebrities made fun of South Korean's K-POP. Miserable Japan's music culture which can't be compared with globally known K-culture. Japan's rationalisation of War time behaviour is part of schools' education. What did Japan's military do during War times? Seizure of Manchuria to Nanjing Massacre. The worst killing following Holocaust. Pacific war started with Pearl Harbour, Horrible Battle of Singapore and Bombing of Darwin. Mind washed patriotic young's acts of Kamikaze, Torturing of prisoners. Here in Australian's complicated emotions towards Japan. First and Last Japan's Ground Battle of Okinawa. Use of middle school boys into front-line, Tekketsu Kinnotai. These incidents aren't taught in schools in the context of Japan's imperialism, but in the context of victimisation.

Jennifer Dixon’s Dark Pasts: Changing the State’s Story in Turkey and Japan (Cornell University Press, 2018), investigates the Japanese and Turkish states’ narratives of their “dark pasts,” the Nanjing Massacre (1937-38) and Armenian Genocide (1915-17), respectively. The official version of history initially advocated by both states was similar in its adherence to a strategy of silencing critics and relativizing or denying the massacre, but Dixon shows how the two governments’ narratives of their dark pasts have diverged. The book draws on a combination of extensive fieldwork and archival research to present a holistic picture not just of the narratives themselves but of the domestic and international factors influencing when and how those historical myths about such large-scale atrocities change over time. Dark Pasts argues that while international pressures exerted on state actors like Turkey and Japan can produce change in the official versions of events, it is domestic factors that shape the content of the new versions. Dixon’s work should be of interest to audiences not just in East Asian or Middle Eastern studies or political science, but also to those with particular concerns with historical memory.

Welcome to the 72nd installment of the Caixin-Sinica Business Brief, a weekly podcast that brings you the most important business stories of the week from China's top source for business and financial news. Produced by Kaiser Kuo of our Sinica Podcast, it features a business news roundup, plus conversations with Caixin reporters and editors. This week: We analyze a new report that shows China's economy is facing mounting downward pressure in November, adding to concerns that the world's second-largest economy is further slowing. We note that China's yuan hit a 10-year low against the U.S. dollar in October and there is little expectation the yuan will strengthen significantly. We hear that Canadian embassy officials in Beijing were allowed access to two Canadians who were detained last week. Their arrests came just after Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou (孟晚舟) was arrested in Vancouver at the request of the United States, which says she was involved in financial transactions that violated U.S. sanctions on Iran. We learn that former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman has been hired by beleaguered Chinese tech giant ZTE to conduct what the company says will be an “independent” national security assessment of its products. We discuss the fall of Zhang Shaochun (张少春), former vice minister at the Ministry of Finance, who pleaded guilty to accepting $10 million in bribes this week. Zhang was dismissed from public office and expelled from the Party in September. We report that the Shanghai Sharks, the city's basketball team, apologized after fans allegedly yelled, “Why didn't your team get murdered during the Nanjing Massacre?” during a match against Nanjing Monkey King, a team that comes from the city that saw mass killings of civilians by invading Japanese troops in 1937. In addition, we talk with Charlotte Yang, reporter at Caixin Global, about what's happening with the Made in China 2025 initiative amid the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China. We also chat with Doug Young, managing editor of Caixin Global, about Apple in China.

In this episode of Such Stuff, we take a look back at Refugee Week at the Globe and ask: how can art respond to the crises of our times? We go behind the scenes on Refugee Week at the Globe, talking to the artists who have taken part in this nationwide celebration of refugees.  Writer Jude Christian and director Elayce Ismail discuss Nanjing, a monologue which reflects on pacifism and the responsibility of the individual from 1937 to the present. Jude tells her own family story, the story of the notorious Nanjing Massacre and asks what each of us can do when atrocities occur across the world.  Syrian Canadian visual artist and educator Dima Karout takes us behind the scenes on her Border Installation, explaining why she wanted to get audiences to participate and think about their own lives - and the lives of refugees - a little differently, and shares some of the incredible contributions left by our audiences.  Finally, actors and refugees bring you The Stranger’s Case, Shakespeare’s cry for compassion for the plight of refugees which is sadly still so relevant.

This week marks the 80th anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre, also known as the Rape of Nanking, which began with the fall of the capital of the Republic of China on December 13, 1937. Few events in modern Chinese history have a historical valence comparable with the Nanjing Massacre. The wholesale slaughter of Chinese soldiers and civilians, the notorious “killing contests,” and, of course, the horrific sexual violence visited on Chinese women during the six weeks that followed Nanjing’s fall inhabit an understandably large part of China’s historical memory. The details of the event, however, and the way that those details are remembered, remain a sticking point in relations between China and Japan. On the podcast to discuss his own study of the Nanjing Massacre, and the way that historical atrocities are remembered around the world, is Rana Mitter of Oxford University. Rana teaches the history and politics of modern China, and has written several excellent books on China, most recently, China's War with Japan, 1937–1945: The Struggle for Survival, which was released in the U.S. with the title Forgotten Ally: China's World War II, 1937–1945. Rana also works with the nonprofit Facing History and Ourselves, which works to provide educational resources about historical atrocities. See in particular these pieces on Nanjing: Facing History's featured resource collection on the Nanjing Atrocities (an umbrella term for all violence visited upon Nanjing by the Japanese in 1937–38), which includes a rich multimedia collection of maps, videos, timelines, and teaching strategies that place the Nanjing Atrocities within the larger context of World War II in East Asia. A print resource called The Nanjing Atrocities: Crimes of War, which is available as a free PDF download or for purchase as a paperback. Two blog posts, 3 reasons to explore the Nanijng Atrocities 80 years later and 80 years later, Nanjing reminds us of the humanity we need today. Recommendations: Jeremy: Re-recommends some previous recommendations from Kaiser: the trilogy of spy novels by Adam Brookes set in Beijing — Night Heron, Spy Games, and The Spy’s Daughter — and Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History, by Kurt Andersen. Rana: The Nanjing Massacre in History and Historiography, by Joshua Fogel, a sober, sane, and objective treatment of some controversial questions. And a lighter selection, Manhattan Beach, by Jennifer Egan, a fictionalized account of the first woman diver to serve in the U.S. Navy in WWII. Bonus: Rana has an interview with Jennifer that will air on the BBC’s Arts and Ideas podcast in early 2018. Kaiser: The Empire of the Steppes, by René Grousset, a fantastic book about Central Asian history. And The May 4th Movement, by Chow Tse-tung, a seminal work on the most important intellectual movement of 20th-century China.

This is Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news.China will appoint local government heads as river chiefs across the country to clean up and protect its water resources.Guidelines published by the Chinese central authorities say the river chiefs will be responsible for the management and protection of the watercourses, much as mayors and county heads are responsible for their beats.The central government expects to turn such practices into a nationwide mechanism by the end of 2018.China firstly appointed local government officials as river chiefs in 2007 to address pollution woes of a blue algae outbreak in Taihu Lake in eastern China.The practice was later adopted in several regions rich in water resources to ensure strong enforcement of environmental policies and enhance coordination.Provincial governors will be general chiefs that are responsible for all rivers and lakes in the region, while officials at various levels will be appointed as chiefs of particular rivers and lakes.For large rivers and lakes that span across more than one administrative region, river chiefs will be responsible for different parts of the water bodies and cooperate on management.The responsibilities of the river chiefs will include water resource protection, pollution prevention and control, and ecological restoration. Their job performance will be assessed and they will be held accountable if environmental damage occurs in the water bodies they take charge of.This is Special English.The Ministry of Education says the country will further open-up its educational sector to the world and raise its cultural exchange sector to a national strategic level.Efforts will be exerted to serve both overseas students in China and Chinese students studying abroad. It will support schools jointly-run by China and other countries.China planned to send 29,000 government-sponsored students this year as part of an initiative to train talent with global vision.Around 520,000 Chinese people studied abroad in 2015, making China the world's top source of international students. Meanwhile, China is the world's third largest study destination, following the United States and the United Kingdom. Almost 400,000 foreign students studied in China last year.Sino-foreign cooperative education has progressed rapidly in China in recent years. China has established more than 2,400 cooperative programs with 700 overseas universities. The country has signed agreements on the mutual recognition of academic degrees and diplomas with 44 countries and regions.China has begun national-level educational cooperation with countries including the United States, Russia, the U.K, and France. China plans to raise such exchanges to a national strategic level in the future. You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing.A freight train loaded with meat from Germany has arrived in Chengdu, the capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province.The train took 13 days to travel 12,000 kilometers from Nuremberg, Germany, to Chengdu, and was loaded with 22 tonnes of German pork. All the meat products will be put on the Chinese market after passing quarantine inspection.The train saves 45 days of transport time compared with shipping by sea, and saves costs of 10,000 yuan, roughly 1,500 U.S. dollars, per ton when compared with air freight.The China-Europe freight train marks the opening of the railway channel for China to import meat products from Europe.The train's terminal, an international railway depot in Chengdu, is the first meat import inland depot in western China.This is Special English.China has implanted artificial cochleae free of charge for more than 20,000 impoverished, severely hearing impaired children since 2009.China's health authority told the Xinhua News Agency that the work is part of a special program launched in 2009, with a total investment of 2 billion yuan, roughly 330 million U.S. dollars. The National Health and Family Planning Commission said at a meeting organized by the World Health Organization that China sets great store in the health of people's hearing, making significant efforts in the area.The commission said the health authority will strengthen its efforts in this regard, especially in the prevention of birth defects and newborn screening, as well as improving the capabilities of rural health institutions. You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing.Scientists have announced that a fossilized-feathered dinosaur tail has been discovered in a piece of amber, complete with bones and feathers.Researchers believe that the tail belongs to a tiny dinosaur that lived around 99 million years ago during the mid-Cretaceous period.A paper on the findings, co-authored by Chinese paleontologist Xing Lida, Canadian scientist Ryan C. McKellar and others, has been published in the journal "Current Biology".This is the first time dinosaur material has been found fossilized in amber.The specimen has been named "Eva".The tail is six centimeters long, by which scientists estimate that the dinosaur was 18 centimeters long. The feathers on the tail appear to be brown on the top and pale white on the underside.Xing said the specimen has been so well preserved that they believe it is very close to what it would have looked like when the dinosaur was alive.The amber was found in Hukawng Valley in northern Myanmar. Philip J. Currie, from the Academy of Science under the Royal Society of Canada, said he had never expected to see such a well preserved dinosaur specimen.Scientists cannot confirm if Eva was a juvenile or adult based on its bones. There were no obvious signs of a violent struggle leading to the animal being encased by the sap upon death. The cause of death cannot be confirmed either.This is Special English.Chinese scientists say they found a new way to effectively inhibit a person's fearful memories arising from traumatic events including domestic violence and war.Animal testing found that fear can be effectively removed by transplanting a special kind of nerve cell into the brains of an adult mouse. The study was led by Yu Yongchun, a researcher at Fudan University in Shanghai.The findings are expected to shine new light on the treatment of severe mental conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. The study results have been published online by Neuron, an influential journal in the field of neuroscience. The research is expected to help explore new strategies for treating PTSD, which is caused by indelible and traumatic memories including traffic accidents, hairy spiders, a nasty breakup or military combat. Patients with PTSD often exhibit anxiety, depression, chronic pain, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, drug abuse, and alcohol addiction.Statistics show that around 80 percent of adults have experienced a traumatic event at least once in their lifetimes, while 5 to 10 percent have experienced severe psychological trauma that can be diagnosed as PTSD. So far, the treatment of PTSD involves a combination of psychology and medication. However, mental symptoms often return after the treatment is stopped. You're listening to Special English.

Now the news continues.A new book on the Nanjing massacre in World War Two has been released in China's eastern city of Nanjing in Jiangsu Province.The book is called "Human Memory: the Solid Evidence of the Nanjing Massacre". It consists of around 200 documents and images from China, Japan and other countries which participated in the post-war trials.Editor-in-chief of the book, Zhang Xianwen from Nanjing University said that only when a nation keeps its memory intact can it learn lessons and be inspired.A research institute on the Nanjing Massacre and world peace was established by Nanjing University and other bodies in March. It selected the documents from archives and libraries in China, the United States, Germany, Britain and Japan.The provincial government has granted peace medals to descendants of six foreigners, including John Rabe from Germany, who helped save civilians during the massacre.Japanese troops occupied Nanjing on December 13, 1937, and began a six-week massacre. Records show that more than 300,000 people, including disarmed soldiers and civilians, were killed.Since 2014, China has marked December 13 as National Memorial Day. This is Special English.China has vowed to strengthen the management of online streaming, prohibiting unlawful and obscene content.The country's media watchdog says authorities will crack down on activities that use live streaming to break the law or undermine people's interests. In 2016, the authority handled more than 100 cases suspected of violating laws and regulations. The cases included online dramas, films and other audio-visual products. A regulation on live streaming has been in effect since December 1. It requires presenters to register with their real names and service providers to censor content and blacklist users who break the rules, prohibiting them from registering again. It also bans the use of live streams to undermine national security, destabilize society, or infringe upon others' rights and interests.Online streaming has grown rapidly in China in recent years, generating huge business opportunities while bringing challenges to regulators. By the end of June, the number of streaming service users reached 500 million, accounting for 70 percent of China's Internet population. Reports show that watching video online has become the primary form of entertainment in China, followed by gaming and reading literature online.You're listening to Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing.A survey has found that female employees in China are more loyal to their employers and have higher brand satisfaction than their male counterparts. The survey, entitled China Best Employers 2016, is based on feedback from more than 4 million respondents, around 53 percent of whom were women. The results were jointly published by Peking University's Institute of Social Science Survey and Zhaopin.com, a Chinese human resources website.The report found that 38 percent of the female respondents have never changed their jobs, 11 percent higher than male respondents. Twenty percent of the females have been in their current job for more than five years, while for males, it was half that number, 10 percent. The survey also found that female employees care more about soft aspects of the workplace, including a positive and comfortable work environment, while at the same time, they desire equal pay for equal work. While female employees attach great importance to learning vocational skills as their career develops, the survey found that male employees care more about promotions. Women with work experience of less than one year are the most eager to improve their skills. The survey found that 56 percent of such women think improving their skills is the most important aspect of their career over the next three years.

Officials suggest that an electric fence could be built in order to supervise and contain unlicensed drones.They suggest that a new technology called U-Cloud would also be useful. The U-Cloud is similar to the black boxes in planes and can be used to supervise the data of civilian drones in real time.Experts say that by registering drones and implementing effective technology, it will be possible to track the drones and the owners down....

This week, we look at the events of the Nanjing Massacre. Just what happened in China's capital city in December, 1937?

In late 1937, over a period of six weeks, Imperial Japanese Army forces brutally murdered hundreds of thousands of people–including both soldiers and civilians–in the Chinese city of Nanking (or Nanjing). The horrific events are known as the Nanking Massacre or the Rape of Nanking, as between 20,000 and 80,000 women were sexually assaulted. Nanking, then the capital of Nationalist China, was left in ruins, and it would take decades for the city and its citizens to recover from the savage attacks. Music by Yuanji Chen: China-Wave.

They came by boot, they came by plane dropping bombs without aim with lust for death and innocent flesh unsatisfied with mere success Nanjing 37, what happened then? 300,000, could it happen again? The river ran red with Chinese blood severed heads and bodies would thud against the rocks under smoky skies we begged for mercy from empty eyes Nanjing 37, what happened then? 300,000, could it happen again? They killed for sport, they killed for fun buried us alive in the rising sun swinging their swords and bayonets they played their games and placed their bets They took our men of fighting age lined them up on a secret stage hundreds of men at a time executed line by line Nanjing 37, what happened then? 300,000, could it happen again? They raped our women, they raped our girls the stench of death around them swirled raped our sisters, raped our daughters dragged our mothers and babies to slaughter Nanjing 37, what happened then? 300,000, will happen again?

Danish Queen Margrethe II on Sunday paid respect to thousands of Chinese victims of the Nanjing Massacre in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province. The Queen arrived at the Memorial Hall for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre on Sunday morning. She looked at photographs depicting Bernhard Arp Sindberg, a Dane who helped save up to 20 thousand Chinese lives during 1937-38. Sindberg came to China at the age of 26 and found a job at a Danish firm. Along with a German colleague, Karl Gunther, he established a make-shift camp for Chinese civilians inside the cement plant, ran a small field-hospital for the wounded, and tried to provide food and other supplies to the refugees. Queen Margrethe II said the commemoration of Sindberg is about looking back at the past as well as looking to the future. She also visited the Sino-Danish Center for Education and Research College during the weekend. The college is the only overseas research institution in which Denmark has invested. The queen has also attended the launching ceremony of the Danish toy maker Lego's first Asian factory in Zhejiang Province, and visited the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk. Queen Margrethe II's visit marks the Danish Queen's second China trip since 1979. She has sat down with Chines officials including President Xi Jinping in Beijing. The two have also witnessed the signing of 10 new agreements, covering sectors such as energy conservation and maritime technology. For CRI, I am Jordan Lee.

As China marks the 74th anniversary of Nanjing Massacre this year, Zhang Yimou presents his first war film "The Flowers of War." The celebrated director likely tried to do his best with the film, but I think he failed. The film is adapted from the novel "The 13 Women of Nanjing" by Chinese-American writer Yan Geling. It is about a group of refugees who take sanctuary in a church compound and struggle to survive as Japanese soldiers wreck havoc in the city. The contrast between a dozen prostitutes and convent schoolgirls provides a source for drama. Zhang, who was once a cinematographer and director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics, impresses audiences with his camera in this piece, although the frequent use of slow-motion shots does seem a little excessive. You may also find a typical abundance of colors, which according to Zhang himself, is a reference to human goodness amid the gloomy and dire surroundings. Zhang has said the focus of the film is not the brutality of war, but the spark of humanity. Yet the fact is, I found myself suffocated by intense pressure throughout the film and was not convinced that the storyline was fully developed. The director goes to considerable lengths to depict the cruelty of the invaders, but neglects the development of the main characters. For example, the greedy mortician John, played by lead actor Christian Bale, goes to the church, drinks, flirts with women and falls sleep. The next morning when he is awakened by howling Japanese soldiers, he turns into the compassionate and righteous Father John! The change is completed overnight with the help of some alcohol, blood and nice clerical clothing. Can you believe it? But perhaps the film's biggest shortcoming is the relationship between the prostitutes and the schoolgirls. First, the scene marking their disagreement is interrupted by intruders and bloodshed. It is one of the reminders of all the terrible things going on outside the church, which the film keeps repeating. Then before the prostitutes decide to sacrifice themselves to save the girls, the film fails to explain how their reconciliation came about. The result is that the dramatic effects on viewers are generated by the war scenes, while humanity, the director's focus, scores nothing. This is why the storyline is not fully developed but instead overwhelmed by Zhang's newfound interest in war films. Certainly, viewers can always supply the missing logic by exercising their brains a little, but on the part of the director, I would say it's just sloppiness. Last but not the least, I am being not particularly picky about Zhang himself, but when it comes to a director as famous as Zhang Yimou, viewers are bound to expect something outstanding. But, clearly, this time, he has taken the easy way out and tried to induce viewers' sympathy with blood and death instead of humanity. On a scale from one to 10, I give this one a 6.5.
