Twenty-six years ago today, on May 8, 1999 (March 23, 1999 lunar calendar), NATO savagely bombed our embassy in Yugoslavia. The Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia was in ruins. At 5:45 am Beijing time on the 8th of 1999, NATO led by the United States used at least three missiles to brazenly attack our embassy in Yugoslavia. So far, at least three people have been killed, one person is missing, more than 20 people have been injured, and the premises have been seriously damaged. On the evening of the 7th local time, NATO carried out the most intense bombing since the air raid on the urban area of Belgrade, the capital of Yugoslavia. At 9:00 pm, all power was cut off in the urban area of Belgrade. At midnight, at least three missiles directly hit our embassy building from different directions. The missiles penetrated from the roof of the fifth floor of the main building into the basement. Smoke billowed inside the embassy, and the roof of the ambassador's residence near the main building was also lifted off. At that time, there were about 30 embassy staff and my correspondent in South Korea in my embassy. Shao Yunhuan, a female reporter for Xinhua News Agency, Xu Xinghu, a reporter for Guangming Daily, and his wife Zhu Ying were killed. It is reported that this is the first time a foreign diplomatic institution in South Africa has been bombed. After the explosion, Pan Zhanlin, the Chinese ambassador to the South African Union, has been on the scene directing the rescue. Many overseas Chinese have given great help to the embassy. In front of the rubble of the bombed embassy, Ambassador Pan angrily pointed out: "This is an attack on the People's Republic of China." "The embassy is the territory of the People's Republic of China, and the Nato bomb is a bombing of diplomacy," said Mr. Jovanovic, the foreign minister of Yugoslavia. On the afternoon of the 8th local time, hundreds of Chinese held a protest march in Belgrade, and thousands of Yugoslav people participated in the march.
