Eleven elderly Japanese people visited Qingdao, Shandong Province, on Monday to collect evidence of crimes committed by invading Japanese troops in the 1930s.

The tourists, aged between 64 and 81, are members of a peace organization in Japan. They had contacted Zhang Shufeng, a researcher at Qingdao Academy of Social Sciences who has studied the history of the Japanese invasion.

Zhang made a three-hour presentation and showed them pictures of the invading soldiers. The activists said it was wrong for Japanese people to ignore the crimes their military committed in the past.
