A batch of file photos recording the destruction of Chongqing and the hardship of people in the city during the anti-Japanese war were released by the city's Beibei District Archive on June 5, 2015. From February 1938 to December 1943, Japanese aggressors conducted terror blasts against Chongqing and its adjacent areas with over 11,500 bombs, mainly incendiary bombs, killing tens of thousands of civilians.
