Nanjing Massacre survivor dies at 94

Shi Jiaxiu, a Nanjing Massacre survivor, passed away on Friday at the age of 94. With Shi's death, the number of registered survivors has declined to 77 from more than 1,200 recorded more than three decades ago, according to the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders. Shi said in her testimony that she and her elder sister had to shave their hair, wear shabby clothes and pretend to be boys before hiding in a cellar to avoid Japanese soldiers. The Nanjing Massacre began on Dec 13, 1937 when Japanese troops captured the then-capital of China and killed about 300,000 civilians and unarmed soldiers over the next six weeks.
