Please make a short speech about it.
Dear boys and girls,
It’s an honor to share my thoughts about Nanjing Massacre with all of you seated here.
From my perspective, it is a reminder of the horror of war, where many lives were lost and families were torn. We should never forget the serious crimes committed by Japanese invaders. On the other hand, had our country not been so weak, Chinese people wouldn’t have been badly hurt. So, it is the massacre that motivates us to study harder to make our country stronger so that this kind of tragedy will never happen again.
That’s all. Thank you for listening!
