Abstract: The Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders focuses on the peace education and forms an educational system consisting of peace education for citizens, youth and international peace. In the practice of peace education, we firmly believe that peace education cannot be separated from historical memory and should be incorporated into peace education so as to ensure its correct direction and proper connotation. We should make full use of the function of peace education to enhance the sense of ritual, audiences’ participation and the feeling of contentment. In the meantime,we need to make full use of new media platforms to strengthen "cloud education" for peace and actively respond to the impact of the global pandemic of COVID-19. In addition,we should also give priority to the international dissemination function of peace education, forge "peace" as the common goal of the global community, tell historical stories in a good way and spread the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind.
