BEIJING, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- As China marked the 68th anniversary of its victory in the Anti-Japanese War (1937-1945), one Chinese family's reflections on Japan were markedly mixed.


While veteran Zhang Lizhi was immersed in bitter wartime memories, the attitude of his grandson Kirk Cousins Elite Jersey , Liu Pinran, was profoundly affected by a recent exchange program that allowed him to visit Japan together with other Asian students majoring in international relations.


"My hatred fades, but never my memories," said 94-year-old Zhang.


Born in 1919 in Juxian County of east China's Shandong Province, he joined the army as a teen to fight the Japanese who invaded China in 1937.


"There was no choice, even for a teenager like me. It was my duty to defend my motherland Adam Thielen Elite Jersey ," he believes.


Of all his wartime souvenirs, including a scar left by a bullet passing through his left palm, he most cherishes a sepia picture in which four young armymen in winter uniforms stand solemnly.


The picture was taken in the autumn of 1944, when Zhang and his fellow soldiers of the Communist Party of China survived a raid by Japanese troops in Shandong.


The war was seven years old by then. As news of territory recovery and Japanese retreat reached their camp, Zhang and his friends felt with great confidence that the war was close to its end.


"But two of them were killed by the Japanese just a few days after the photo was taken. One was shot to death, the other was buried alive Danielle Hunter Jersey ," recalled Zhang.


This episode of Zhang's wartime story has also became unforgettable
