Historian honored - San Francisco

Community advocates present a gift and certificate of honor to Su Zhiliang (second row, third from left), a professor at Shanghai Normal University and a prominent historian on the "comfort women" issue, for his 25 years of research, on July 19 in San Francisco. Thanks to the efforts of the same group of advocates, a "comfort women" memorial is expected to be installed at the St. Mary's Square extension this year. It will be the first "comfort women" memorial in a major US city. Lia Zhu / China Daily
