In December 1937, the Imperial Japanese Army marched into Nanjing, China and systematically began raping, murdering and dismembering three hundred thousand citizens. Men by the thousands were led down the streets of the lovely old city, to be slaughtered by decapitation, machine gun or bayonet. Women and children were raped, and then cut into pieces.
The Ping family lived in the heart of old Nanjing. Early in the morning of December 13th, 1937 the family woke to the rattle of gunfire. The Japanese had been besieging the city for several weeks, so everyone knew what the shooting meant. Each grabbed a valuable item and took to the road hoping to reach a safe haven in the suburbs. Intercepted by Japanese soldiers, two siblings were brutally slaughtered while the others could only stand by and watch. Altogether the extended Wang family lost eight members.
The Rape of Nanjing has left an indelible mark on not only the Ping family, but the entire Chinese nation. The tale of the tragedy was passed down through the generations like some genetic disease that refused to be cured. When Wang Ping was ten years old, a Japanese table tennis team came to Nanjing to participate in a tournament. It was the first Japanese presence in the city since the massacre. That evening while the family around the dining room table, it all came bubbling out -- the details of the massacre. Wang Ping remembers that her poor tortured grandmother kept repeating over and over, "Me and my brother, we were the only ones left."
Wang Ping and her family, particularly her father, are articulate passionate people and they will not forget or forgive. This documentary profiles this feisty and interesting Chinese-Canadian who continues her campaign to educate all that will listen about a Holocaust that has been overlooked.

If you go back, there was the communist forces and the republic forces. The republic forces were trying to fight the japanese and the communists, But the republic forces were being beaten so badly that they had to retreat and gather their forces or they knew the communists would swipe them off their feet and take control of China. They couldn't afford sending troops down to Nanjing to protect the civilians, They had to play a defensive move to give them at least a little more time ruling china
