Nanjing Massacre survivors hold memorial rites for lost relatives

Pu Yeliang, 93, survivor of the atrocious Nanjing Massacre, gestures at the site where his cousin was taken away by the invaders in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, on Dec. 4, 2015. Pu Yeliang survived in the Nanjing Massacre when he was 15. He witnessed that his cousin Shen Qiquan was forced away and never came back. Some survivors of the Nanjing Massacre held family memorial rites for their lost relatives at the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders on Thursday, ahead of the national memorial day for the atrocity. At least 40 survivors of the Nanjing Massacre passed away since the January of 2014, leaving about 100 still alive. (Xinhua/Li Xiang)
