Wu Jiying was born on June 15, 1924. Due to her family debt, the 10-year-old Wu Jiying was sold to a Zhang family as maid in Nanjing. When the Japanese invaders occupied Nanjing, Wu was stabbed in her leg. She succeeded to escape by hiding among corpses and later was brought to hometown Jurong by his father. Now Wu Jiying has two sons and four daughters. This year marks the 82nd anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre, in which more than 300,000 Chinese were killed by the Japanese invaders who occupied Nanjing on Dec. 13, 1937, marking the start of six weeks of destruction, pillage, rape and slaughter in the city. By Dec. 12, 2019, the number of registered survivors of the massacre has decreased to 78. Reporters from Xinhua spent many years to look for the survivors of Nanjing Massacre and record their current lives. (Xinhua/Han Yuqing, Ji Chunpeng)
