Except one of the uncles, who narrowly escaped, the other four were all shot dead by Japanese soldiers.1937年，唐福龙的父亲、堂兄及三位叔叔被日本侵略者抓获。除其中一位叔叔侥幸逃脱外，其余四人均被日军枪杀。Eight survivors, including Tang, have passed away since the beginning of 2025, according to the Memorial Hall in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province.据位于中国东部江苏省省会南京的侵华日军南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆消息，自2025年初以来，包括唐福龙在内已有8位幸存者逝世。In 2014, China's national legislature designated Dec 13 as a national memorial day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre.2014年，中国全国人大常委会将12月13日设立为南京大屠杀死难者国家公祭日。The Chinese government has preserved the testimonies of survivors, recorded in both written and video transcripts.
