Fighting to record the war's history

Old soldiers never die. That is, if they're remembered.

Sunday commemorated the Sept 18 Incident's 85th anniversary, marking the Japanese occupation of northeastern China. It's a day remembered with a mix of misery and pride.

Many in the crowd shed tears when 92-year-old female veteran Li Min stood onstage in the National Library of China to recall her experiences fighting the invaders and close calls with death.
