 | | SHENYANG, May 19, 2005-- Yang Baoshan, the Pingdingshan Massacre survivor representing the Pingdingshan Massacre suit group, returned to Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, from Japan to enthusiastic welcome of local citizens Thursday. |
 | | On September 16 in 1932, the intruding Japanese troops rounded up about 3,000 people, including the elderly, women and children, in Pingdingshan Village in Fushun and fired at them, claiming they had cooperated with Chinese guerrillas in fighting against Japanese aggression. |
 | | The survivors lodged a lawsuit in 1996, demanding the Japanese government admit the crimes Japanese troops had committed in Pingdingshan, and apologize and compensate for the crimes. |
