The Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre is located in Jianye District, Nanjing. The site is the Jiangdongmen mass massacre site and the mass grave of the victims.

This is a heavy historical coordinate, constantly reminding people of the unforgettable painful memory.

On the occasion of Qingming Festival, Su Xing and He Xu prepared to pay tribute to the 300,000 compatriots who died with heavy hearts, hoping to touch history more deeply, remember the past, and cherish the hard-earned peace.

They left the hotel and took a taxi.

After telling the driver the destination, the two of them stopped talking.

The driver didn't say anything and drove in silence all the way.

When they arrived at the place, He Xu paid the fare and the two got off the car.

They first bought two bouquets of white chrysanthemums, and then followed the crowd to queue.

During the Qingming Festival holiday, many tourists came to visit the Memorial Hall of the Victims.

But everyone lined up quietly and no one made any loud noise.

Su Xing and He Xu saw that many parents brought their children to visit.

The team moved forward slowly.

They saw the eye-catching "Victims" monument. The black numbers were particularly dazzling in the sun, denouncing that tragic history and making people instantly feel the heaviness and sorrow of history.

Walking along the trail, groups of sculptures shock everyone's hearts.

A terrified mother hugged her dead child, a desperate old man wailed to the sky, and helpless people struggled in the flames of war...

Each sculpture is lifelike. They are not only a presentation of art, but also a witness to history, silently telling the suffering endured by our compatriots during the Nanjing Massacre.

Su Xing's eyes were quietly wet and he couldn't calm down.

The two followed the team into the historical materials exhibition hall.

They first walked to the wall with the list of victims, presented the white chrysanthemums in their hands, and bowed to express their respect and condolences.

Then they looked up and stared at the densely packed names on the list, and stopped for a long time.

Until a few more tourists came over to offer flowers, they made way for them.

The two began to visit the memorial in earnest.

There are a large number of historical photos, physical objects and documentary materials here, which record in detail the brutal crimes committed by the Japanese invaders.

Those black and white photos showed the terrified faces of innocent people, the hideous faces of invaders, the burned houses and the bodies of compatriots lying on the streets.

The worn-out clothes, blood-stained knives, destroyed daily necessities, etc., all tell of the tragic experiences of their owners.

Those documents, written in black and white, are irrefutable evidence, exposing the atrocities committed by the Japanese army.

In the exhibition hall, there are also oral history videos of survivors. Their stories are full of pain and grief, allowing visitors to feel more vividly the cruelty and ruthlessness of war.

In the ossuary, the piles of bones are shocking to the sight, silently accusing the invaders of their heinous crimes.

Su Xing stood there, as if he could hear the painful cries of his compatriots at that time, and feel their despair and fear.

These remains are ironclad evidence of history. No matter how the Japanese right-wing forces deny or distort them, they cannot change the tragic historical facts.

Su Xing and He Xu spent the whole morning visiting the memorial hall.

At around eleven o'clock, the two ended their tour.

When they walked out of the memorial hall, they still felt very heavy.

The memorial is not only a building, but also a spiritual monument. It carries the memory of history and reminds people to remember history and cherish peace.

He Xu looked at Su Xing beside him and found that her face and lips were very pale.

He reached out and held her hand, and found that her palm was wet and cold.

He asked her softly, "Are you okay?"

Su Xing nodded slightly, "Not bad..."

The heartbreaking scenes in the exhibition hall kept appearing in her mind, and she felt a little upset.

"Shall we go back to the hotel first?"

"it is good……"

The two walked to a place where it was convenient to get a taxi and hailed one.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the hotel.

The two paid and got off the car.

He Xu asked Su Xing again: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?"

Su Xing shook his head. "I'm not very hungry. I want to go upstairs and rest for a while. If you are hungry, you can eat first."

"I'm not hungry either. Let's go upstairs first."

"it is good."

The two returned to the room.

After Su Xing took off her coat, she fell on the bed. She wanted to lie down for a while.

He Xu helped her take off her shoes.

He also took off his shoes, got on the bed, and held her in his arms.

The two of them just leaned against each other and closed their eyes to rest.

Gradually, the two of them became drowsy and entered a state of half sleep and half wakefulness.

More than an hour later, Su Xing woke up.

She moved her body and He Xu immediately opened his eyes.

"How do you feel?" he asked.

"Not bad." Su Xing said, "Want to go downstairs to eat?"

"Okay, get up and clean up."

The two got up from the bed, packed up, and left the hotel.

They didn't go to the more famous restaurants with more customers, but just found a small shop and walked in.

Su Xing, who usually enjoys eating, had no appetite at this moment. He just ate a little, less than half of his usual amount.

He Xu also ate a little less than usual.

After meal.

He Xu asked Su Xing: "Where do you want to go this afternoon?"

"Anywhere is fine." Su Xing said.

He Xu noticed that his girlfriend looked listless and listless.

He thought for a moment and suggested, "Shall we go to Jiming Temple and burn some incense?"

Although some places believe that burning incense in the morning is more auspicious, there is no strict rule that you cannot burn incense in the afternoon.

The core meaning of burning incense is to express respect, piety and prayers to the Bodhisattva, and to achieve inner peace and tranquility, and to gain spiritual sustenance and guidance in this way.

He Xu felt that there was no need to worry too much about the time issue.

He just hopes that his girlfriend can find spiritual comfort and feel better.

Su Xing agreed: "Okay."

After the two decided on their destination, they checked out, left the hotel, and headed for Jiming Temple.

Jiming Temple is located on the east side of Jilong Mountain in Xuanwu District, Nanjing. It is an ancient temple that carries thousands of years of history and culture.

It was first built in the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty and the eighth year of Tongtong in the Southern Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Liang built Tongtai Temple, making it the Buddhist center of southern China during the Southern Dynasty. After many ups and downs, Zhu Yuanzhang rebuilt Jiming Temple in the 20th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty and inscribed the plaque "Jiming Temple".

Jiming Temple is located on the mountain, with the lake behind it and the city nearby. It cleverly combines natural and artificial scenery. It has lush trees and beautiful scenery. At the same time, it retains a large number of ancient buildings and strong religious art colors.

When Su Xing and He Xu arrived at Jiming Temple, the first thing that caught their eyes was an antique mountain gate, which remained solemn and majestic after years of baptism.

The two went to the window to buy tickets.

The ticket here is only ten yuan a piece, but there is no student ticket discount.
