CHONGQING (CQNEWS) --The clock of history once again points to China on 7th July. 77 years ago, on the same day, the Anti-Japanese War erupted, and the entire China's resistance gained today's peace and happiness. However, the Japanese terror was unforgetable: on this memorial day, through CQNEWS.NET only, Chongqing Library revealed the original version of the book Japanese Terror in China, which was written by Manchester Guardian's journalist H. J. Timperley.

Timperley used his diaries to record Japanese crimes in Nanjing during 1937-1938, both substantively and objectively. Timperley said the story he recorded was so sad that he could not think of anyone he knew that had a strong stomach to read it. "It is a story of such crime and horror as to be almost unbelievable."

So what kind of crime did Timperley say in his diary? The book was written in English, our journalist, who has two-year experience in English news reporting, spent a whole day reorganizing these snapshots from the book.
