“China will make two statues for Iris Chang” to honor “her exposure of ‘atrocities committed by Japanese aggressors’ in China and the spirit to ‘dig up the historical truth,'” according to a Xinhuanet wire story. The report says The Rape of Nanking author, who committed suicide last November, will be honored with two marble statues, one to be placed in the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre By Japanese Invaders in Nanjing, the other to be given to her family in the U.S. “Wang Hongzhi, president of the Nanjing Oil Painting and Sculpture Institute and undertaker of the project, said he wishes to present the demure beauty of oriental women in the statues,” says the report. Says Wang, “The more important thing is to portray her sense of historical responsibility and intrepid fighting spirit.”
