Old wounds

A new book based on Western media's coverage of the Battle of Jiawu sheds light on the anti-China feelings that many sought to promote. Xing Yi reports.

As the Chinese traditionally record history in cycles of 60 years, 2014 is of significance because it marks the 120th anniversary of the First Sino-Japanese War, known as the Battle of Jiawu in China.

Dozens of books have been published on the subject.
