The National Memorial Day is still a very high-level event, and Wang Zhengqiang's deputy, a man named Zhang Jinwei, also came to take part in it.
After the memorial ceremony started, ceremonial soldiers carried wreaths and marched in with goose-steps. Everyone attending the event fell completely silent; the only sound in the venue was the sonorous, powerful footsteps of the honor guard.
At ten o'clock sharp, as the host announced, "Let us observe a moment of silence for the victims," a piercing air-raid siren resounded across the skies over Jinling City.
At that moment, all vehicles driving within Jinling City came to a halt, and together with the ships sailing on the Yangtze River and the inland waterways, sounded their horns.
That heart-wrenching, involuntarily shudder-inducing alarm echoed over Jinling City and also reverberated in the heart of every Huaxia person.
