Their Pain Must Not Be Forgotten
August 14 is the World Comfort Women Memorial Day. That morning, the branch memorial—Nanjing Museum of the Site of Liji Lane Sex Slaves Station—held a commemorative event under the theme "Remembering with Tears, Praying with Hope."

Li Dandan, a Nanjing-based photographer born in the 1990s, donated her photographic works to the museum. Created in 2014, this series of works combines printmaking, photography, and painting to document the appearance of Nanjing Museum of the Site of Liji Lane Sex Slaves Station before its renovation.

That day, the exhibition hall displayed testimonies and photographs of some victims of the Japanese Army's "Sex Slaves" System that had been confirmed through recent investigations.

A Japanese visitor left a comment: "I feel so sorry. I am a teacher, so I have the opportunity to teach children and adults. I will never forget. Lessons learned from the past can guide us in the future."
