Xia Shuqin, a massacre survivor, had a memorial ceremony to remember her seven family members on Monday. Following Chinese tradition, she used black ink to write the names of the family members.

"I'm illiterate, but I remember every stroke of the characters of their names," said the 89-year-old, who was stabbed three times during the massacre.

The Nanjing Massacre took place when the Japanese army captured the then-capital on Dec 13, 1937. More than 300,000 Chinese civilians and unarmed soldiers were killed over six weeks.
