Zhu Chengshan, Curator of the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, has pledged to promote information about the massacre with the publication of an encyclopedia detailing the atrocities committed by Japanese troops. The first volume of the four-volume encyclopedia, which Zhu edited, was released on December 7, six days ahead of China's first National Memorial Day for Nanjing Massacre Victims.
Japanese troops engaged in a massacre that lasted six weeks after occupying Nanjing on December 13, 1937, killing more than 300,000 Chinese people. Right-wing politicians in Japan, however, have attempted to whitewash or deny this slaughter.
Zhu, born in Nanjing in 1954, has been studying the history of China-Japan relations, particularly the Nanjing Massacre, over the past few decades. He said that the Japanese right wing's reluctance to do justice to history has prompted researchers to pay more attention to international cooperation.
