Album Providing Evidence of Japanese Aggression Discovered
A Japanese-language photo album featuring scenes of Japanese aggression against China in the 1930s has been discovered.
The album, published in Japan in 1932 and discovered at a secondhand bookstall by Zhang Jianheng, a clerk with Beijing's Shouqi Group, contains about 800 pictures and related captions.
These pictures, mostly taken by Japanese war correspondents, record scenes of killings, air raids and other atrocities committed by Japanese troops in northeast China and major Chinese cities like Tianjin, Shanghai and Hangzhou.
Zhuang Jianping, a historian with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that most of the photos in the album have never been seen in China before.
"The album provides undeniable evidence of Japanese aggression against China," Zhuang added.
