Unfortunatly in Chine there is no thing called free press or freedom of expression so i am sure i couldn't find any Chinese sources but here is something for you
The Rape of Nanjing is a term used to refer to the period of wartime atrocities committed by Japanese forces in the Chinese city of Nanjing in the late 1930s, and most specifically to six weeks at the end of 1937 and beginning of 1938 in which hundreds of thousands of Chinese were killed, often quite brutally. The Rape of Nanjing or “Nanjing Incident” as some historians euphemistically refer to it has been a topic of controversy and argument between China and Japan since the end of the Second World War, with some Japanese nationalists claiming that the event never occurred, or that it was not as brutal as the Chinese claimed. This incident was unfortunately only one among many mass atrocities committed during the Second World War. You may also hear it referred to as the Rape of Nanking, referencing a different Romanized spelling of Nanjing.
In the 1930s, Japan attempted to take control of China in the Second Sino-Japanese War, as part of a larger plan to unify Asia. By December 1937, Japanese forces had reached Nanjing, which was then the capital of China. According to historical records, the Japanese forces committed a number of atrocities along the way, murdering civilians along with soldiers, setting fire to homes, and beating Chinese civilians. As troops neared Nanjing, they were warned to behave appropriately, but apparently this warning had little impact on the Japanese troops, who were fueled by racial hatred, thanks to extensive propaganda.
When the troops entered Nanjing, they embarked on a campaign of terror, killing as estimated 200,000 Chinese including women, children, and male non-combatants over the course of six weeks. Many Chinese women were raped before being murdered, with survivors of the event documenting the fact that the invading troops treated the rape, beatings, and murders as a sport, coming up with new and creative ways to kill people, ranging from burying them alive to engaging in beheading competitions. The soldiers also set fire to large swaths of the city, looting homes for anything valuable or useful inside first.
A handful of foreigners decided to stay in Nanjing even after the danger became evident, and these individuals established a safety zone which the Japanese left largely alone. According to their accounts, these people attempted to save some Chinese citizens by hiding them in the safety zone, and a number of these foreign observers wrote about the Rape of Nanjing, sending out news reports and even video footage, in the case of John Magee, an American missionary. Numerous photographs from Nanjing are held in national archives around the world, testifying to the brutality and horror involved.
In tribunals held after the Second World War, the Japanese government was held accountable for the Nanjing Massacre, which came to be known as the Rape of Nanjing in Chinese populist rhetoric. The Japanese argued that their brutal actions in Nanjing were defensible, suggesting that they were neutralizing Chinese soldiers and gaining control of the situation. Survivors testified otherwise, pointing to facts such as mass graves filled with women and children who had their hands tied behind their backs.
The events of the Sino-Japanese Wars have long been a source of friction between Japan and China, with both sides admitting some culpability for war crimes committed during these periods, but drastically under emphasizing the extent of these crimes. As with other incidences of terrible war crimes, it is important to remember that the Japanese people themselves were not personally responsible for the Rape of Nanjing, and many disagree with their government's official stance about the events.
What was the Rape of Nanjing?
It's just show that how you run from Nanjing to save your little ***. (Though I am not supporting Japanese Mascarre.)
