My British father is visiting China for the very first time. As we explore, he’s full of curiosity about modern life and ancient history. But there’s a profound gap in his knowledge. Despite his deep interest in World War II, he has never heard of the Nanjing Massacre.
This video documents the moment I sit down with him—in a quiet moment during our trip—to share this tragic chapter of history. His shock is palpable.

This is a journey of historical discovery, cultural context, and an emotional reckoning with why some stories remain untold in the West.
