I really want to apologize to the Chinese.I'm Japanese, but I didn't know the fact of the Nanjing Massacre until I became a high school student.I was interested in the Nanjing Massacre and searched for many references, but the content was so cruel that I cried.Perhaps many Japanese do not know about the Nanjing Massacre.However, I think the Nanjing Massacre is a history that Japanese people should know.We cannot change the past, but I can silently pray for the victims.I wish all the victims a happy life in heaven
That's the reason Chinese hate Japanese. You choose to bury the history, deny everything and play victims. Hope Japan can learn from the history and give up aggressive actions in the future. Otherwise, Chinese and Korean will never forgive and East Asia will only see a form of revenge.
Mate, you as an individual is not to be blamed. I could not read past the torturing them soldiers did to their victims. The way they prolonged their sufferings until the end. My heart.....!
I'm a little late but nothing will stop me from speaking my mind. Had tears in my eyes watching this video. Thank God China finally has a strong military, no more "opium wars", no more "one hundred years of humiliation" and no more westerner imperialism. God bless China moving forward. Thank you for another great video Alex!
It was the US that provided weapon for japan at the Battle of Chongqing while thankfully Soviet was willing provided his weapon and also send many of its soldiers on defending Chongqing. While on Nanjing story, i don't have much information about it.
If Japan make the 1st move than most likely China will not hesitate to flatten it as payback with or without the US helping them. China can forgive but not forget.
The Chinese will never forget the Nanjing Massacre.Why are most people in China very patriotic and love the party?The Chinese nation is a nation that has suffered.Many patriotic heroes sacrificed in exchange for today’s beauty.We also cherish the present peaceful and beautiful life.
Chinese can forgive but will never forget, John Rabe will never be forgotten In China. Thank you for sharing this video is yet again one of Reforterfy Media n travel Best!
Like the one Russian pilot hero who once help defended Chongqing from incoming Japanese warplanes was officially recognized as The Great Hero of China - Chongqing. But i forgot his name.
One of the most poignant videos that I have seen depicting the tortured history of Nanjing and its rise to be one of the world’s most beautiful and successful cities. Incredible work, Alex! You made me cry tears of sadness and joy. For all those China haters, watch this video and understand why China needs to have a strong military and never be bullied again.
A sobering video well put together for us to reflect upon that as we bask in the safety of today, that we must always remember the sacrifice of yesterday.
Remember : Japan never apologized for its war crimes. Later most of the designers of these war crimes were awarded top positions in American backed post WW2 government.
The saddest thing is that the survivors of the Nanking Massacre are dying one by one, and there are no witnesses to accuse them of their crimes, they can more leisurely deny their crimes
I first became aware of this tragedy when I read a book several years ago entitled "The Rape of Nanking" by Iris Chang. It was an eye opening and gut wrenching account of what the Japanese did to the people of Nanjing. In her book she said that even the Nazis were appalled at the brutality and torture that the Japanese solders inflicted on the innocent Chinese people. During this time, the Japanese soldiers held competitions to see how many Chinese people that they could kill with a sword and the results were regularly reported in Japanese newspapers. I also read a book about John Rabe "The Good Nazi" and as you said, he saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of Chinese people. When the war ended, the Germans were forced to pay for their war crimes, but the US saw to it that the Japanese received very little punishment in return for the documentation on the inhuman biological experiments that were conducted on the Chinese people. Thank you for such an excellent video and for raising an awareness of what happened to Nanjing in the past and where it is today!
I've heard stories from my colleagues who had visited Japan but they're very dark things that I better not repeat on here. All I'd say is outwardly they do appear polite & civilize.
I talked with at least 5 Americans, no one know this history of China in nanjing , they are allies of Japan, always positive about any news about Japan
Please know that not all of us Americans hate China. Though we have love and respect for Japan today, we are not blind to their atrocities, and we are not indifferent to the horror the Chinese faced. When I saw this video, it made me proud to see China's historic rise from poverty and oppression. Though we do not agree with some of the policies of the Chinese government, we do respect the Chinese people and their achievements. It is regrettable that our leaders are so against China and view them as an enemy rather than as a potential friend with whom we can one day hope to achieve lasting peace and prosperity.
@@GaneshGunaji what right do you have to disagree with chinese government policy? that is not for you people, that is for chinese people and they respect their government. you american always thought you have the right to decide what is good or not within another country but in the end it is always about america interest not the world interest.
japan don’t teach this part of history In their school . And colonial countries don’t teach their school about how they killed indigenous people . There are too many dark history are not told by the west
@Beautiful World True! Even if they teach, they used the word 'entered China ' instead of 'Invaded China '. There were incidents where they have modified the history in order to purify the war crimes their ancestors have committed. To date, Japanese government still have not made an official apology to the Chinese and South Korean about the atrocities and raping of millions of women (comfort women) their ancestors have inflicted against.
@@beautifulworld4455 The Japanese Government don't even admit this happened ! If people in the west say that the Jewish holocaust didn't happen they would end up in jail yet they have this double standard and hypocrisy towards Japan !
Until now, the Japanese government has not recognized the Nanjing Massacre, although a large number of videos and images evidence captured by foreigners have been discovered by people.The Japanese youth did not know the existence of this dark history, because their government deleted this dark history from their textbooks. Similarly, the history of forcibly conscripting comfort women did not appear in their textbooks too. And Until now, the Japanese government has not formally apologized to the countries she invaded and the innocent people she killed like Germany.Despite this, those Western countries that claim the human rights are paramount also did not stand up and condemn the Japanese government’s dirty actions against humanity.
Think of those who suffered from the Japanese Rule captured , killed , the suffering under rule not by their fault .We here in the Western World have no idea what those who lives have been impacted by the Cruelty Enflicted by others . So much History China has would take one many years to understand it all in Reading .. The Sound Track on this video is indeed inspireing. Looking forward for your further videos as you bring more about China Beyond imagination. Great History Learned on this video .
Wow! I personally feel this is your best ever China video presentation ever assembled by yourself (Alex), Julija, and the Reporterfy Media & Travel Team! I took your advice and read the Wikipedia history of Nanjing prior to viewing this video. I did learn many things while reading about Nanjing’s history, but watching this video afterwards, it not only increased my interest, but also brought forward emotional feelings never expected. Yes, as always, your drone footage was amazing. Yes, the Chinese are to be recognized and applauded for their advanced technological and infrastructure seen like nowhere else in the world. The city of Nanjing looks beautiful and alluring. The high point in this video was the history of Nanjing, and how you presented it with pictures, film footage, and an absolute touching factual narration, which brought forth tears. The history of Nanjing should indeed never be forgotten. Call it what you may, but this is film production at it’s best! Hands down award winning! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I once referenced Opium Wars info from Wikipedia. Subsequently I noticed the Wikipedia content on the Opium Wars kept changing like almost every week & now it's drastically different from the time I referenced the Wikipedia material which was not too long ago like 2 to 3 years ago. Wikipedia is NOT a trustworthy nor a reliable source of info. Nevertheless whatever Chinese history you read on the Wikipedia (which is very anti-China in my opinion) you can bet that the Chinese suffered much worse under the japanese occupation.
@@ztsu8542 I appreciate your comment, and will definitely consider other sources if I’m searching for historical facts going forward. Honestly, I was looking for a quick reference, and as it popped up on the computer screen first, I went with that. Not knowing the history of Nanjing, nor the Japanese occupation of China, I was horrified with what I read in the short Wikipedia paragraph or two. All thanks to Reporterfy Media & Travel for the video, I intend to research more on the occupation, and taking your note into account, I will be more thorough and selective with my reading material. I do thank you for the heads-up!
Hello Randy, thank you again for the feedback. This was a difficult video to make. I cannot express how difficult it was to piece the history, the heroes and modern day Nanjing into one video. Julia has been so supportive during this creative phase on our channel. We felt we needed to bring a video like this to TH-cam to see how the viewers would react. I must say it's been overwhelming. With support from you and Ken we would never have the courage to try such a risky video. Once again we appreciate the courage you give content creators who try express emotions in videos for the world to see.
Have you heard of the book "Rape of Nanjing" by Iris Change and the museum for Unit 731 in Harbin city of China? Please do some readings on it. Iris Chang killed herself after finishing the book because she got a huge trauma from this cruelty.
"John Rabe" ("The Diary of Rabe" in Chinese) is a movie to memorize Rabe, who was considered the Living Buddha during the Japanese invasion by Chinese people.
Thomas Rabe-the grandson of John Rabe, reached out for help from Germany during the coronavirus outbreak, many people in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, took immediate action to provide the needed medical supplies.
What an eye opener in this video. Quite impressive not to say the least. Thanks, Alex for sharing this here. That's what being united means and the lack of that will destroy a country every time. Even through problems, you have to be united in anything you stand for, take a look at others who do not follow that and I think that will always create a weakness no matter if they do everything right! I look forward to what you will share when you get there in China, first just have unite and you are well on your way. Cheers!!
After seeing those many videos of China cities, i conclude that in next 5 years or more China will change into the largest multi-ethnic and multi-culture country in the world when people around the world will want to move in to live and spend their entire lives in there. And one thing need to told is this is the reason in this video shown that Jiangsu - Nanjing help and aid Tibet Adm Region a lot even surpassing other aids from other provinces for poverty eradication and Tibet Adm region development program.
And this is just part of the story... my grandparents and aunts and uncles had to flee to the mainland from Hong Kong because the Japanese landed in Hong Kong in 1941...
Hi, there. This comment is from a Nanjinger living in Nanjing since his birthday. As presented in this documentary, Nanjing is a heroic city and also a city of and for heroes. Though the COVID-19 is lingering in Nanjing, I hold a strong belief that Nanjing will weather the storm and develop at an astonishing speed again to shock the whole world. Love
I have been there in October the museum was a pack with people. Love the city, people, and history. Nanjing witness the devils are real and people must protect children at all cost.
Thanks again Alex. Beautifully produced. Beautiful city. Let's pray that there'll be Truth instead of Lies; Peace instead of War; Love instead of Hate. Keep up with the truth and your love for peace.
Nice drone footage. Without your introduction, don't know that there was a German hero saving Chinese civilians during the Nanjing massacre. More surprisingly, he was a Nazi party member. Thanks for telling me the story of such a special person.
Nanjing is a beautiful city with a lot of tree-lined streets. Besides the city center, there are many wonderful tourist destinations in Nanjing. There is a picture that epitomizes what happened to the people of Nanjing during the Japanese invasion. A Japanese soldier murdered a baby by skewering the baby on the bayonet of a ruffle gun. Pregnant women were raped and killed. Those Japanese soldiers were demonized. But thanks for showing and doing this beautiful video.
@@edwardspencer9397 shut up crap, what're you talking about?! Absolutely you don't understand whose's actually the soul of Japaness people?! Yes most Japanese very calm, silent n polite, but its only outsider profile. You don't know absolutely what's about insider profile most Japanese??!!!Lol
Awesome and educational video! Thanks Alex! 🙏🙏👍👍🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳I learned about John Rabe from the book 'Rape of Nanking ' by the late author Iris Chang who took her own life not long after writing this book. Nanjing has been through hell and back and not a lot of westerns knew the scale of atrocities the Nanking people had experienced under Japanese invasion. The book has some detail accounts from some of the survivors.
Very well sourced documentary especially with period video and images. Beautiful architectural designs of the new and the old add a comforting balance to the city's beauty. This was an important video to remind people of the horrors of war and the triumph of a city of Heroes rising like a Phoenix from painful ashes. The night fly by drone footage is always so captivating. I don't usually comment on your narration but it is a critical part of your excellent videos. Well done!
Thank you very much Ken for your guidance and support during our new phase in the channel. We ALL have come a long way together. This journey is not possible with you and Randy. You cannot imagine how difficult it is to make a video like this. Every week my wife and I are learning more and more about China. This video never started out as a City Of Heroes. Once we started to research about Nanjing it was clear we had to change course. I'm glad viewers give us a platform to express our work. We appreciate your feedback and once again thank you for the words of encouragement.
@@KenWiggerAnotherAncientGamer Thank you, over time it will perform as it's a legacy video. Most content creators views are slow during the Olympics etc.
Mr Reporterfy (aka Alex)............your video's and content are spot on.........entertaining.........and professionally done! Thanks for all your dedicated efforts in showcasing the splendors and amazing Chinese infrastructure to the world. Keep it up and I will continue to watch my friend! God Bless!
Great video as always. May I recommend you start your videos by placing the city you are about to talk about on a map so that people like myself can better understand what the city is about?
Solidarity and well wishes to the people of Nanjing who are currently in a 'soft' lockdown due to the recent Delta variant outbreak at their airport. 南京加油!
What happened in Nanking should be a sobering warning to all who would embrace excessive nationalist pride. No country or empire is above the world. We must remember all who suffered in World War 2 so we do not repeat these mistakes. We all come from different countries and have different ideas about optimal government, but we must never forget we are one species and we share this Earth. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to be better than those who came before us. We can find common ground and work together for a better future for mankind.
Yes it had one of the darkest chapters in World War 2 history. But then, World War 2 had a very happy ending. Or two in fact. Both in August 1945. 😊😊😊 Best endings in human history!! Great work as always Alex!
Thank you for showing the past and present of Nanjing which Japan still vehemently trying to deny these historical war crimes. Great brief documentary trailer for those who want to learn more. I am there are so many expats who live there and see for themselves.
Every city in China is huge modern clean green and shiny with amazing architecture buildings and infrastructure. Simply unbelievable how they manage this feat with a 1.4 billion population. It has to do with the people, their attitude, their culture, their civilization...
Thanks Alex, for bringing the memory of the Nanjing Massacre to a new generation of audience. It has been under-publicised because it embarrasses the militarist and hawkish Japanese government while inviting inconvenient questions for Washington. Iris Chang, a Chinese American author, had made it a crusade to bring this tragic episode of Japanese atrocities on Chinese civilians to a global audience. When her award-winning book and solo roadtrips of community seminars finally succeeded in rallying a groundswell of interest among ordinary Americans spanning both coasts, she was tragically found with a bullet wound to her head on a quiet deserted road. The official verdict was that Ms Chang took her own life as a result of depression. But the timing of her death and the fact that she finally found traction with her message and crusade to the world renders that verdict a dubious one.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I felt my after researching Nanjing I had to speak about the heroes and the past and future. Please support our channel so we can continue to be a voice for China and other nations who need strength.
Had a photo taken in front of Nanjing Yangtze river bridge 35 years ago. Glad to see it's been maintained well over the years. Brings back memories...would love to visit it again.
@@Reporterfy I will share your videos. I share many of your videos with others in America that need to know the amazing truth about China. Your videos will make a big difference in bridging a friendship and understanding between America and China.
At this difficult time, I could see a video speaking for Nanjing, which made me, a Nanjinger, very moved. It is hard to imagine that while many Chinese are insulting Nanjing, there are still some foreigners willing to tell the greatness of Nanjing. You give Nanjing affirmation at this difficult time, just like the foreign friends who rescued Nanjing people in 1937. I salute your team!
Thank you for making and sharing this video. You can go to Wikipedia to learn more about this history and the crimes against humanity (Nanjing Massacre) committed by Japan. It really shocked me and made me sad. Read it carefully, which will have a psychological impact.
Great video! The Nanjing massacre was the darkest time in China's history -- the appalling atrocities committed by the Imperial Japanese Army. Nowadays some people seem to like using the term "genocide" indiscriminately. If they really want to, the Nanjing massacre fits the bill. Salute to China's Nanjing City of Heroes!
I went to Nanjing in 2018 and visited the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Presidential Palace and Xuanwu Lake. This is an incredible city that endured and recovered from one of the worst tragedies in the history of mankind.
The most beautiful and touching doc celebrating the historic city of Nanjing. Named in 2017 as the Number 169 International Peaceful City in the World is also the greatest tribute to their people as a whole, those who perished as a result of the so called Second Unknown Holocaust commited by the Imperial Japan, and to those who survived and were destined to the reconstrucion and the passing of legacy to their following generations.

Me, born and raised in Nanjing. I am seeing alarming signs that US is feeding Janpanese aggression towards China.
It was the US that provided weapon for japan at the Battle of Chongqing while thankfully Soviet was willing provided his weapon and also send many of its soldiers on defending Chongqing.

Chinese is a very suffered 😣😣😣 love from North East (india) some conditions we North East indigenous people 😭😭
After seeing those many videos of China cities, i conclude that in next 5 years or more China will change into the largest multi-ethnic and multi-culture country in the world when people around the world will want to move in to live and spend their entire lives in there.
And one thing need to told is this is the reason in this video shown that Jiangsu - Nanjing help and aid Tibet Adm Region a lot even surpassing other aids from other provinces for poverty eradication and Tibet Adm region development program.
Well done Alek 👍👍👍👏👏👏
From ruins to splendor and glamour!China has great engineering capabilities!!!

Thank you very much! We are motivated by telling the truth
Nicely done and thanks for the history of Nanjing
Our pleasure please share the video
Great work Alex, would love you to do a video of the imperial garden and expose the atrocities of the British and French, 😊 thank you.
But Alex, you are the light in the dark. You make me cry this time.
Another outstanding video.
Thanks again!
And this is just part of the story... my grandparents and aunts and uncles had to flee to the mainland from Hong Kong because the Japanese landed in Hong Kong in 1941...
Thank you man for sharing this history - past and present.
Hi, there. This comment is from a Nanjinger living in Nanjing since his birthday. As presented in this documentary, Nanjing is a heroic city and also a city of and for heroes. Though the COVID-19 is lingering in Nanjing, I hold a strong belief that Nanjing will weather the storm and develop at an astonishing speed again to shock the whole world. Love
I have been there in October the museum was a pack with people. Love the city, people, and history. Nanjing witness the devils are real and people must protect children at all cost.
@@jparsit Thanks for paying a visit to Nanjing. Hope you do appreciate that journey.
Thats awesome city
Thank you so much.
Nanjing hv changed a lot. Its a beautiful city. Your video truly showed its modernity.
Thanks again Alex. Beautifully produced. Beautiful city. Let's pray that there'll be Truth instead of Lies; Peace instead of War; Love instead of Hate.
Keep up with the truth and your love for peace.
Great work, thank you, Alex!
An excellent video !!
Glad you liked it!
Nice vedio sir
Keep watching
Appreciate your videos Alex! Excellent work!
Great people great country🌹🌹🌹Thank you Alex for you showing the truth to the world👍👍
history and beautiful sight. What an informative videos...
Nice drone footage. Without your introduction, don't know that there was a German hero saving Chinese civilians during the Nanjing massacre. More surprisingly, he was a Nazi party member. Thanks for telling me the story of such a special person.
Nanjing is a beautiful city with a lot of tree-lined streets. Besides the city center, there are many wonderful tourist destinations in Nanjing.
There is a picture that epitomizes what happened to the people of Nanjing during the Japanese invasion. A Japanese soldier murdered a baby by skewering the baby on the bayonet of a ruffle gun. Pregnant women were raped and killed. Those Japanese soldiers were demonized.
But thanks for showing and doing this beautiful video.
Japanese people are the most calm and silent. Who are you talking about? Or have they changed completely after world war 2
@@edwardspencer9397 shut up crap, what're you talking about?! Absolutely you don't understand whose's actually the soul of Japaness people?! Yes most Japanese very calm, silent n polite, but its only outsider profile. You don't know absolutely what's about insider profile most Japanese??!!!Lol
Thanks Alex for the great story and city
Thank you soo much much for Nanjing ♥️♥️🙏🙏👍👍
Wow, another item on my travel bucket list. Thank you!
Your videos are definitely the best!
One of the best videos about Nanjing on TH-cam, this channel is golden, cheers from Nanjing.
Thank you please share and support our channel.
Thank you for an amazing video and a touching story.
The Chinese are true heroes, prosperity without war, just hard work and perseverance.
Awesome and educational video! Thanks Alex! 🙏🙏👍👍🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳I learned about John Rabe from the book 'Rape of Nanking ' by the late author Iris Chang who took her own life not long after writing this book. Nanjing has been through hell and back and not a lot of westerns knew the scale of atrocities the Nanking people had experienced under Japanese invasion. The book has some detail accounts from some of the survivors.
Very well sourced documentary especially with period video and images. Beautiful architectural designs of the new and the old add a comforting balance to the city's beauty. This was an important video to remind people of the horrors of war and the triumph of a city of Heroes rising like a Phoenix from painful ashes. The night fly by drone footage is always so captivating. I don't usually comment on your narration but it is a critical part of your excellent videos. Well done!
Thank you very much Ken for your guidance and support during our new phase in the channel. We ALL have come a long way together. This journey is not possible with you and Randy. You cannot imagine how difficult it is to make a video like this. Every week my wife and I are learning more and more about China. This video never started out as a City Of Heroes. Once we started to research about Nanjing it was clear we had to change course. I'm glad viewers give us a platform to express our work. We appreciate your feedback and once again thank you for the words of encouragement.
@@Reporterfy It was one of your best and deserve greater visibility!
@@KenWiggerAnotherAncientGamer Thank you, over time it will perform as it's a legacy video. Most content creators views are slow during the Olympics etc.
@@Reporterfy :-)
Excellent video. I didn't know about the past of this city. I found in very interesting to know how it was before.
Nice video to introduce Nanjing.
Mr Reporterfy (aka Alex)............your video's and content are spot on.........entertaining.........and professionally done! Thanks for all your dedicated efforts in showcasing the splendors and amazing Chinese infrastructure to the world. Keep it up and I will continue to watch my friend! God Bless!
Your videos are just top-notch! Wow! So well-done!
China amazing.
Great video as always. May I recommend you start your videos by placing the city you are about to talk about on a map so that people like myself can better understand what the city is about?
We will do this
Solidarity and well wishes to the people of Nanjing who are currently in a 'soft' lockdown due to the recent Delta variant outbreak at their airport. 南京加油!
Nanjing has interesting history.

Next should be the city of Shenyang and Xi'an as the two most historically rich city.
@@jurgenangler5294 We wll look at these yes.
What happened in Nanking should be a sobering warning to all who would embrace excessive nationalist pride. No country or empire is above the world. We must remember all who suffered in World War 2 so we do not repeat these mistakes. We all come from different countries and have different ideas about optimal government, but we must never forget we are one species and we share this Earth. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to be better than those who came before us. We can find common ground and work together for a better future for mankind.
Yes it had one of the darkest chapters in World War 2 history. But then, World War 2 had a very happy ending. Or two in fact. Both in August 1945. 😊😊😊
Best endings in human history!!
Great work as always Alex!
Excellent food for thought
Thank you for showing the past and present of Nanjing which Japan still vehemently trying to deny these historical war crimes. Great brief documentary trailer for those who want to learn more. I am there are so many expats who live there and see for themselves.
Amazing work!
Glad you think so! Please share our videos.
thankyou for making this great and high quality video bring the truth to people who don’t know about the history
This is a visually beautiful video. Also, the history in it is very very good! Thanks for your content 💪
Thx
Every city in China is huge modern clean green and shiny with amazing architecture buildings and infrastructure. Simply unbelievable how they manage this feat with a 1.4 billion population. It has to do with the people, their attitude, their culture, their civilization...
Thanks Alex, for bringing the memory of the Nanjing Massacre to a new generation of audience. It has been under-publicised because it embarrasses the militarist and hawkish Japanese government while inviting inconvenient questions for Washington. Iris Chang, a Chinese American author, had made it a crusade to bring this tragic episode of Japanese atrocities on Chinese civilians to a global audience. When her award-winning book and solo roadtrips of community seminars finally succeeded in rallying a groundswell of interest among ordinary Americans spanning both coasts, she was tragically found with a bullet wound to her head on a quiet deserted road. The official verdict was that Ms Chang took her own life as a result of depression. But the timing of her death and the fact that she finally found traction with her message and crusade to the world renders that verdict a dubious one.
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I felt my after researching Nanjing I had to speak about the heroes and the past and future. Please support our channel so we can continue to be a voice for China and other nations who need strength.
@@Reporterfy
Certainly, Alex. Your channel is most worthy of support.
WOW!! A lot of admiration from me for a job done way better than most state funded media. Thanks Alex
Love from Pakistan ❤️
Had a photo taken in front of Nanjing Yangtze river bridge 35 years ago. Glad to see it's been maintained well over the years. Brings back memories...would love to visit it again.
Amazing China, leading the way through the 21st century and beyond. Bravo China!
Yes indeed! please share our video
@@Reporterfy I will share your videos. I share many of your videos with others in America that need to know the amazing truth about China. Your videos will make a big difference in bridging a friendship and understanding between America and China.
@@robertschlesinger1342 We try our best and appreciate any support
Salute to all the heros of Nanjing.
At this difficult time, I could see a video speaking for Nanjing, which made me, a Nanjinger, very moved. It is hard to imagine that while many Chinese are insulting Nanjing, there are still some foreigners willing to tell the greatness of Nanjing. You give Nanjing affirmation at this difficult time, just like the foreign friends who rescued Nanjing people in 1937. I salute your team!
China: Nanjing Massacre
Japan: What?
Thank you for making and sharing this video. You can go to Wikipedia to learn more about this history and the crimes against humanity (Nanjing Massacre) committed by Japan. It really shocked me and made me sad. Read it carefully, which will have a psychological impact.
Great video! The Nanjing massacre was the darkest time in China's history -- the appalling atrocities committed by the Imperial Japanese Army.
Nowadays some people seem to like using the term "genocide" indiscriminately. If they really want to, the Nanjing massacre fits the bill.
Salute to China's Nanjing City of Heroes!
Tragic and inspiring history. Beautiful city. To realise that all this happened within my father's life time makes treasure all the more his memory.
Reminded me of the movie I watched a couple of years back "The Flowers Of War"
I will check it out
I love this Nanjing city
🇳🇵🇨🇳❤️
I went to Nanjing in 2018 and visited the Nanjing Massacre Memorial Hall, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Presidential Palace and Xuanwu Lake. This is an incredible city that endured and recovered from one of the worst tragedies in the history of mankind.
The most beautiful and touching doc celebrating the historic city of Nanjing. Named in 2017 as the Number 169 International Peaceful City in the World is also the greatest tribute to their people as a whole, those who perished as a result of the so called Second Unknown Holocaust commited by the Imperial Japan, and to those who survived and were destined to the reconstrucion and the passing of legacy to their following generations.
👍
Another great video Alex! Love your channel! Thank you!
Our pleasure
Cheers
This channel is something else thanks for you're content
Thank you and please support our channel however possible.
Beautiful. Inspiring.
南京是一座从废墟中建起的城市，一次次的屠杀，一次次的站起，庇护了中华文脉却保护不了自己。每次到南京都好想哭，这座城市承受了太多。真的好爱好爱南京，也许我上辈子是个南京人吧T﹏T
这种喜爱无关经济，国内比南京经济好的城市有很多，但没有一座像南京这样令我魂牵梦绕。也许是文化吧，走在南京城中就像走进一个博物馆，一草一木皆有情。在国内不敢说，怕引来地域攻击，在这我可以大声的吹南京的彩虹屁。我真的好爱南京，希望她今后不再有那么多的苦难T﹏T
写着写着就哭了，唉
Nanking is so fascinating
If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it!
