Watch it again: Special coverage of state commemoration for Nanjing Massacre victims
China holds the national memorial ceremony for the Nanjing Massacre victims at the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders on Tuesday morning.
In 2014, China's top legislature designated Dec 13 as the national memorial day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre.
The Nanjing Massacre took place when Japanese troops captured 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 World War II.
