The only moving image of the Nanjing Massacre was taken by an American priest

American Pastor John Maggie was born in October 1884 to a family of lawyers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

In 1912, as a priest of the American Episcopal Church, he was sent to China as a missionary.

In November 1937, when the clouds of war hung over Nanjing, he chose to stay, successively serving as a member of the International Committee of the Nanjing Safety Zone and the chairman of the Nanjing Branch of the International Red Cross Society, participating in the rescue of refugees in Nanjing.

On December 13, 1937, the tragic Nanjing Massacre occurred. In this human catastrophe, almost every 12 seconds, a compatriot is killed.

John Magee used a video camera to secretly capture the massacre of Chinese soldiers and civilians who had laid down their weapons by the invading Japanese army, as well as the treatment of the devastated people.

These precious shots have become the only moving images of the Nanjing Massacre that have survived to this day.

Peace has been so long that some people have forgotten the national shame and even washed the ground for Japan's crimes in order to curry favor with some drama.

A country has a country first, and then a home.

Culture and education have a long way to go.
