Extra Information | Chen Tianhe' inscription: "May 3, 1939, during the bombing of Chongqing city by enemy planes, as the people were evacuating the urban area, all that could be seen on the way were the refugees struggling with the elderly and young. Their condition was extremely miserable. I write this to express my indignation at the plight of fellow countrymen forced to flee." |
