NANJING, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- About 5,000 Chinese and foreigners gathered Monday in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, to mourn hundreds of thousands of people who were killed by invading Japanese troops 73 years ago.Participants in the ceremony stood in silent tribute, offered wreaths and bowed in front of the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre, with sirens wailing in the drizzling morning on Monday, the 73rd anniversary of the massive slaughter."The Japanese soldiers invaded Nanjing when I was four, and they killed some of my family members. On the anniversary of the massacre every year I would come here to express my grief," said Sun Xuelan, a 77-year-old survivor, who is confined to a wheelchair.Japanese troops occupied Nanjing on Dec. 13, 1937 and began a six-week massacre. Records show more than 300,000 people -- not only disarmed soldiers , but also civilians -- were killed.Mikhalchev Mikhail, deputy director of the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War in Russia, said, "In the history of human civilization, some facts shouldn't be forgotten, and the Nanjing Massacre was one of them."He noted that the tragedy had become a symbol of the Chinese people's bitter suffering and prompted all people to learn the preciousness of peace.""We should remember the history, but not hatred. Peace is a common desire of all human beings," said Nanjing citizen Yu Hong , who attended the ceremony.Besides the memorial ceremony, Buddhist monks from China and Japan held a religious service Monday at the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre.The assembly was attended by 15 monks from six Buddhist temples in Japan, more than 50 monks and Buddhist believers from China and thirty Massacre survivors and relatives of victims.The monks chanted Buddhist prayers of mourning and prayed for peace.Aori Take Shuna, abbot of Japan's Reiunti Temple, read a poem he wrote to honor the dead and prayed for long-term friendship between the peoples of China and Japan.Yamauchi Sayoko, who was a representative of a sect of Japanese Buddhism, said that the people of Japan, which invaded and occupied China in the 1930s and 1940s, were deeply regretful for the victims of the war and sincerely hoped such a tragedy would never be repeated.Built in 1985, the memorial hall annually records five million visitors since it was expanded and renovated in 2007.Zhu Chengshan, curator of the hall, said that every year when the anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre occurs , nearly 10,000 Nanjing citizens would swarm the hall and spontaneously mourn the victims.On Sunday, workers began to extend a memorial wall at the memorial hall on which names of those killed are engraved.After the extension, the wall would have 10,324 names, 1,724 more than three years ago, Zhu said.Collecting the names of the victims was an important job in researching the Massacre, but it was difficult to find witnesses and documents decades later, he said.Moreover, a group of historians from China, Japan and the United States has begun compiling an encyclopedia on the Nanjing Massacre, which was expected to embody a wide range of historical documents and pictures. "The dictionary may serve as a consolation to the deceased," Zhu said.

BEIJING, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- China vowed Wednesday that it would continue efforts to expand and upgrade its rural power grid networks in the next five years to meet the increasing demand.Safe, environmentally-friendly, and technologically-advanced rural power networks are expected to cover most of the nation's rural areas to ensure better electricity use for rural residents during the country's 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-2015), according to a statement issued after a State Council executive meeting chaired by Premier Wen Jiabao.Full-fledged power networks are still beyond reach for some rural residents in China's central and western rural regions, despite government moves to expand rural networks beginning in 1998, the statement said.Relevant departments should step up efforts to improve power generation facilities for irrigation and farm produce processing to ensure power consumption of agriculture production, the statement said.Further, participants at the meeting also pledged to slash rural power prices.

BEIJING, Nov. 17 (Xinhua) -- China's coal mine safety watchdog said Wednesday that the nation would require all coal mines to be equipped with emergency shelter systems to protect miners before June 2013.Also, the country's State Administration of Coal Mine Safety (SACMS) has required all mines to complete installation of four systems, including coal mine monitoring, pressure fan facilities, water supplies, and communications before the end of this year.Further, centrally-administered coal mine companies and major state-owned coal mines must also install positioning systems for workers underground, said Zhao Tiechui, SACMS chief.Meanwhile, centrally-administered coal mines and major state-owned coal mines must set an example by completing the construction of emergency shelter facilities before June 2012, Zhao said.More than 2,000 miners were killed in coal mines last year in China. Though the fatalities were significantly reduced from the peak of nearly 7,000 deaths in 2002, the situation still remains grim.Just last month, a gas leak at a coal mine in central China's Henan Province left more than 30 people dead.

JAKARTA, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- China and Indonesia on Tuesday pledged to step up legislative cooperation on top Chinese legislator's visit to the biggest Southeast Asian country."Thank to their crucial role in their own country's political life, the National People's Congress (NPC) of China and Regional Representative Council (RRC) of Indonesia should carry out friendly exchanges at all levels and increase experience sharing on ethnic and religious policy and seeking region's balanced development," Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee Wu Bangguo said in a meeting with RRC Speaker Irman Gusman Tuesday.Irman underscored RRC's commitment to developing sound ties with China, saying it would seek closer bonds with the NPC, promote experience sharing on economy, politics and people-to- people exchanges, draw on China's experience on balanced development.On broader China-Indonesia ties, Wu reviewed the smooth growth of bilateral ties, particularly since the two countries upgraded their relations to strategic partnership in 2005.Wu Bangguo (L), chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China, the country's top legislature, meets with Irman Gusman, chairman of the House of Regional Representatives of Indonesia in Jakarta, Indonesia, Nov. 9, 2010.This is Wu's first visit to Indonesia, which coincided with the 60th anniversary of China-Indonesia diplomatic ties.As developing countries, China and Indonesia share common tasks of growing economy and improving livelihood, Wu said.Wu said China would like to work with Indonesia to deepen strategic cooperation, address challenges and usher in an new era of bilateral ties.Characterizing bilateral relations as "comprehensive and strategic partnership," Irman said Wu's visit to Indonesia was historic and would promote all-round substantive cooperation.During Wu's stay in Jakarta, China announced 10-million-yuan humanitarian aid in cash to Indonesia as earthquake, tsunami and volcanic eruptions wrecked serious havoc on the country.Later Tuesday, a grand reception was held in honor of top Chinese legislator. Around 1,000 Indonesia officials, business entrepreneurs and others attended the reception.In his brief address at the reception, Wu called on Indonesian people of all circles to contribute their wisdom and commitment to China-Indonesia friendly ties.Indonesia was the second leg of Wu's three-nation tour to Southeast Asia, which also included Cambodia and Thailand.Wu will leave Jakarta for Bangkok on Wednesday.
