In a high school classroom in Hong Kong, a student asks a survivor of the Nanking massacre if she has ever thought about taking her own life.
Dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, her white hair neatly combed, 95-year-old Xia Shuqing calmly answers.
“I didn’t think about it. I just wanted to be brave and speak up more for justice – I wanted to live on,” Xia says.
It is a candid conversation, made possible by an innovative artificial intelligence project.
Using a mobile app, the students are engaging in dialogue with the interactive testimony of a survivor of the massacre, which took place over six weeks from December 13, 1937, when Japanese troops captured the city that is now known as Nanjing, in eastern China.
The project aims to preserve the testimonies and legacy of “comfort women” – wartime sex slaves – and survivors of other atrocities, including the massacre.
