In Liaoyuan, Jilin, the WWII Senior Allied Prisoners of War Camp Site Exhibition Center and the Liaoyuan Miners' Memorial Hall bear witness to the dark days of World War II. From the imprisonment of Allied generals to the tragedy of "trading lives for coal", the artifacts, ruins, and human remains here reveal the brutal reality of the Japanese invasion.
Today, the two places stand as national patriotic education bases, visited by more than seven million people — reminders to remember the past and cherish peace.
