The exhibition, free to visitors, commemorates China's victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression as part of the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II. Japanese invading troops occupied Nanjing on December 13, 1937, and launched a six-week massacre, killing more than 300,000 Chinese people, most of them civilians. (newsphoto)
