Sculpture: A Family Ruined
Located at the entrance of The Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, this iconic bronze sculpture was created by renowned Chinese sculptor Wu Weishan. Standing 11.5–12.13 meters tall (the height symbolizes December 13, 1937, the start of the Nanjing Massacre), it depicts a grieving, humiliated mother holding her dead infant in her arms, crying out to the sky in utter despair.
