    I was only 7 when the Japanese troops invaded Nanjing,and my family lived at Jishan Village at that time, I saw with my own eyes the Japanese army killing many people of Nanjing with bayonets.Both my father and uncle were killed by Japanese army with bayonet. The house of my family was burnt, and the cattle for plowing was seized away. Many of our neighbors were killed.There were dead bodies on the street everywhere,and we had to step over bodies when walking on the street.
