When Shanghai's World Financial Center is finished, its 104 stories will make it one of the tallest buildings in the world, home to the banks, brokerages and stock credit shaping China's economic future. And this massive construction employing almost 3000 Chinese workers is being built by Japanese developers. But even here, these two countries' painful past is never far below the surface.
Construction was held up for more than a year because this trapezoid was originally designed as a circle.
According to news reports, Chinese leaders were concerned that a giant circle on a Japanese owned tower looked just a little bit too much like the rising sun, Japanese flag, flying over Shanghai.
Symbols are one thing, painful memories another.
"I didn't even have a chance to scream before they shot me."
Ni Chui Ping and Zhong Xi Quan survived the Nanjin Massacre. To this day both vividly recall how Japanese soldiers killed more than 300,000 Chinese including their parents, brothers and sisters 70 years ago.
"We Nanjin people will never forget, every family has a story."
In China, the only mass protest of those are allowed by Beijing, and the only one that allowed in recent years has been against Japan when then Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi visited the controversial Yasukuni Shrine which critics argued glosses over Japan's wartime atrocities, especially Nanjin.
"Talk about denying the Nanjin Massacre. We talk about saying that Comfort Woman “we're not coerce they did it, because I wanted to.” This is to Asian people and to people victims here; this is as serious as denying the holocaust."
Since then, a new Prime Minister in Tokyo has brought improving relations. But the biggest challenge for the future, say analysts， is learning to live with the past.
