They gave their lives for China, so should not be relegated to the footnotes of history. This is the view of a Qingdao man who has created a hundred paintings to honour China's Second-World-War heroes. [Special coverage]

Scenes from famous battles, and the men who fought in them, decorate Zhang Shengde's studio.

In his youth, the 63-year-old artist used to be a movie projectionist, and always retained a photographer's eye for detail. But three years ago, Zhang decided to create a series of portraits of heroes who gave their lives for their country. He researched each of his subjects meticulously.

After a painstaking process, Zhang completed one-hundred portraits of war heroes who died between 1932 and 1945. He presents them in chronological order according to their dates of death.
