....In 1998, the Japanese Teiunsya Corp. Ltd. published "Big Doubts about the Nanjing Massacre," compiled by Toshio Matsumura.
Matsumura wrote in the book that Xia was a false witness and a liar.
When learning of this through the media, Xia was deeply hurt. She decided to take legal action in November 2000.
She raised five demands in the lawsuit: The defendants should stop the defamation at once; the defendants should restore her reputation; the defendants should apologize to her in major newspapers in Japan and China; the defendants should pay compensation of 800,000 yuan (US$96,386); and the defendants should pay for the lawsuit.
