His uncle Yuan Dehong was taken away by the Japanese invaders and never came back. Yuan himself was badly kicked by Japanese invaders and his leg got broken. Yuan, who has a son and a daughter, lives with his wife. The year 2017 marks the 80th 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. There are only less than 100 living survivors of the atrocity.
