The film,recording lots of people killed by Japanese troops in Nanjing,was shot secretly by the US priest John Magee(1884- 1953).
As pastor at Daosheng Church of Nanjing and later the chairman of the International Commission of Nanking Red Cross Organization,John Magee remained in the city along with another 20 Westerners in December 1937.He helped establish the Nanjing Safety Zone,which is estimated to have sheltered around 200,000 Chinese and saved many thousands of lives during the Nanjing Massacre(屠杀).While helping Chinese refugges escape Japanese atrocities,Magee also used his 16mm movie camera to record evidence of Japanese war crimes.
The Japanese had banned any street photography or filming,but Magee took a risk and managed to secrectly shoot 105 minutes of videos.He photographed such scenes as women in agony after being raped and beaten by Japanese invaders,severely injured locals being treated in hospitals and the cruel murders in the city.Many scenes in his film have been later edited into related war documentaries.
When Magee passed away in 1953,his 16mm camera and the film were left to his son David Magee,who came to Nanjing in 2002 and donated the camera and related historical materials to the Memorial Hall of the Victims in Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders in Nanjing.
His film recording seven members of Xia Shuqin's family killed later also served as important evidence in the family's survivor Xia's decade-long battle to win over the libel suit (诽谤诉讼) in 2009 against Japanese rightist scholar Shudo Higashinakano and author Magsumura Goshio,as well as publisher Tendensha,for books that claimed Xia was a false witness to the massacre.

1.When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s,we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep.His name was Mr.Basille.He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.As a 5-year-old boy,I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt.He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course,he delivered more than milk.There was cheese,eggs and so on.If we needed to change our order,my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles.And then,the buttermilk would magically(魔术般) appear.
All of this was about more than convenience.There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen.Mr.Basille even had a key to our house,for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors,so that the milk wouldn't freeze.And I remember Mr.Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table,having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today.Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk,thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.Besides,milk is for sale everywhere,and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently,an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories.I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊).Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is.So I start telling stories of my boyhood,and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
