Japanese veteran Kobayashi Kancho visits a site to mark the Yingtian Massacre, where Chinese people were killed by Japanese soldiers during World War II, in Miluo County, Central China’s Hunan Province, March 28, 2016. After being captured in 1941, Kobayashi and his fellow Japanese soldiers joined the Eighth Route Army. On retirement, he travelled around Japan telling of his anti-war experience in China to call on people to cherish peace. Kobayashi, the only Japanese soldier of the Eighth Route Army still alive, joined other soldiers and survivors of the Yingtian Massacre to remember the victims and also pray for peace.
