Wang was born on Nov. 3, 1935. According to her mother Zhang Zhengqing, Wang's father Yang Daifo was captured by Japanese when he was drinking tea at teahouse and never came back. Her mother suffered a miscarriage while dodging from Japanese invaders. Wang had three children and now she lives alone since her husband passed away in 2001. 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. Reporters from Xinhua spent many years to look for the survivors of Nanjing Massacre and record their current lives.
