JINAN, March 1 (Xinhua) -- An east China city on Saturday issued two cachets in honor of the national memorial day that mourns victims of the Nanjing Massacre and the Victory Day of the anti-Japanese war.
The cachet that honors the national memorial day for Nanjing Massacre victims consists of pictures of Chinese people being killed by Japanese invaders and a memorial wall that bears the names of 300,000 victims in the massacre.
The one for the Victory Day is made up of pictures of peace doves for the World Peace Congress by Pablo Piccasso, the helmets of fallen Japanese invaders as well as the English character "V" that stands for the word "victory."
The cachets, released by Jinan Post (JP) in Jinan City, capital of east China's Shandong Province, are aimed at reminding people of history, according to JP.
China's top legislature voted on Thursday to set December 13 as the national memorial day for Nanjing Massacre victims while formalizing September 3 as Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
