Shenzhen

Just came back from watching the movie, "Nanking." It was a documentary with narrations by actors who read in the first person the letters of the foreigners who helped the Chinese in Nanking in the Safety Zone, as well as interviews of people who witnessed this horrifying invasion of their city and ultimately the killing of their loved ones. We didn't get to see the Museum in Nanjing, so watching this movie was indeed an opportunity to learn about what had happened then.

This movie reminded me, also, of what the Philippines had to endure at that time. War is a terrible, aweful thing. No one should experience this in their lifetime, if we all could accept each other and live in peace.
