Nanking, a new documentary about "the rape of Nanking" (THINKFilm)

In the summer of 1937, Japan began a full-scale invasion of China. The Japanese army attacked Shanghai and launched a massive air raid campaign on the then Chinese capital of Nanking. Within a few months, Shanghai had fallen. By December, the Japanese invaded Nanking. The once bustling, cosmopolitan city was looted and burned, prisoners of war were executed, and the city's citizens were subjected to horrific violence at the hands of the invading Japanese soldiers. The events, eventually referred to as the Nanking Massacre or the Rape of Nanking, lasted some six agonizing  weeks. The new documentary Nanking (opening February 1 at Landmark's Ken Cinema ) looks to the events immediately prior to the invasion and the weeks of brutality that followed.

Question: Why has the number of negative sects of the nanking massacre increased in japan? Answer: It is perhaps because the following book is published. This book is based on the confidential document of the guomindang (chinese nationalist party). =========================================================== Analyzing the "photographic evidence" of the nanking massacre http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/reader/4794213816/ref=sib_dp_pt/503-7152288-3875968#reader-link ( -> http://www.sdh-fact.com/CL02_1/26_S4.pdf ) ( -> http://www.soshisha.com/book_search/detail/1_1381.html ) -> http://www.soshisha.com/book_search/detail/1_1488.html ) Next: http://ryancheung.ycool.com/post.1969951.html charles cheung's blog comment
