A national flag is flown at half-mast Thursday morning at the Memorial Hall for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre, Dec. 13, 2018. On Thursday, China marked the fifth national memorial day to commemorate the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, in which Japanese invaders slaughtered about 300,000 Chinese during a six-week rampage after they captured the city, then China's capital, in 1937. In front of the darkly-dressed crowd at the ceremony, China's national flag is flown at half-mast. In February 2014, China's top legislature designated December 13 as the National Memorial Day for Nanjing Massacre Victims. (Photo: China News Service/Yang Bo)
