Exhibition held in San Francisco to commemorate Sept.18 Incident

San Francisco, Sept.17, (People's Daily Online) Liu Lei, a Chinese American in Fremont, southeastern part of San Francisco Bay Area held a personal exhibition Wednesday to commemorate the "Sept. 18 Incident".

More than 400 exhibited collections told visitors what happened during that period. In 1931, personnel within the Imperial Japanese Army staged an attack on a segment of Japanese-owned and operated railway near the city of Shenyang (then called Mukden), first blaming Chinese attackers, and then openly attacking Chinese military in the region, setting the pretext for the military takeover of Manchuria. The events are known in China as the 'Sept.18 Incident'.
