Xie was born on Sept. 26, 1924. Her father, uncle and younger brother were all killed by Japanese invaders. She herself was raped at the age of 13. Her husband died in 1947 and she now lives at a nursing home. 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.
