Towards a Nanjing narrative of the Second World War in China
The View from Japanese-occupied Nanjing
A Chinese intellectual and political activist, Kiang Kang-hu was chair of the Department of Chinese Studies at McGill University in the 1930s.

This periodization obscures both earlier Chinese commemorations and the multiple ways the past has been (re-)remembered. In fact, Chinese commemoration of the victims of the Nanjing Massacre began much earlier, in 1937. Nanjing and its his…
