During the Qingming Festival, from April 2 to 4, the Memorial Hall of the 
Victims in Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese Invaders held the 2023 "Qingming 
Festival Walking Activity at the burial site of the victims of the Nanjing 
Massacre and the Qingming Festival Ceremony for the Victims of the Nanjing 
Massacre. 

At the event site and in the exhibition hall of the memorial hall, a group of 
volunteers wearing purple vests told the history of the Nanjing Massacre to the 
visiting audience. They were Zijin Grass volunteers.

When the memory of Nanjing became the memory of the world, people of different 
nationalities walked into this bloody and tearful time, becoming listeners of 
history and sowers of peace. Amanda, a 22-year-old American student studying 
abroad, is a graduate student majoring in Chinese at Nanjing University. This 
year is her third year as a volunteer. "By understanding history, we can also 
better understand what peace is and how to build peace." To listen to the echo 
of memory from her perspective, please visit:

Since the establishment of Zijin Grass Volunteer Service Team in 1994, the 
number of registered volunteers has increased year by year, reaching 23,918. 
And more and more international volunteers participate. As of now, the memorial 
hall has gathered nearly 400 Zijin Grass international volunteers from 37 
countries and regions.

In the future, it is hoped that more volunteers will participate in the 
voluntary activities of the memorial hall and convey the vision of peace.
