NAGOYA, Japan, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- Shortly before China's ninth national memorial day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, two experts, one from China and the other from Japan, who have long been engaged in the collection and preservation of historical materials of the Japanese invasion, met again online after three years.

"Mr. Daito, long time no see. I'm sorry to meet you in this way. We have received the historical materials you helped to collect in Japan this year. Thank you very much," said Ai Delin, head of the cultural relics department at the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders in Nanjing, eastern China, when talking via video link with Satoshi Daito, abbot of Enkoji Temple in Japan's Aichi Prefecture.
