2．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（屠殺）.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.

One day，Barton，who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door，found that he only had one coin left.He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However，he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman named Whitney opened the door.He changed his mind and asked for a cup of water instead of a meal.Whitney thought Barton looked hungry，so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it slowly，and then asked， "How much do I owe you？"
"You don't owe me anything，" she replied. "Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness." He said， "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart." As Barton left that house，he not only felt stronger physically，but also increased his faith in God and humans.He was about to give up and quit before this point.
Years later Whitney became critically ill.Her husband，who took care of her，could not go out to work，and her poor son had to drop out of school because of being unable to afford his school tuition.He had to pick up coal in a mine near his home.Then he sold all the coal he collected for a few coins to help his parents.Fortunately，their neighbors often brought food and medicine to them，enabling them to survive the hardship of life.Besides，they also raised money for her from a fundraiser on the Internet.People donate money for her in banks，by phone using a credit card and online.
