Chinese dance drama "Deep in Memory" was staged in Paris, France over the weekend. Directed by Tong Ruirui, the story follows survivors and witnesses of the Nanjing Massacre, which took place when invading Japanese troops captured Nanjing during World War II. The dance drama centers on Chinese-American writer Iris Chang, author of "The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II." In the performance, the protagonist establishes links with the main historical figures from the book, including John Rabe, Minnie Vautrin, Li Xiuying and Shiro Azuma, reviving a deeply tragic page in China's history.
