Episode 53! Saw Dead to Rights (南京照相馆). Heartbreaking. Lots of people die. About the Japanese invasion of Nanjing and how the atrocities were documented. During the 1937 Nanjing Massacre, postman A Chang posed as a photo developer, helping Japanese forces while secretly sheltering Chinese refugees. He later risked his life evacuating them and revealing evidence of the atrocities. -One interesting point made: one reason why the Chinese couldn't assemble a cohesive defense against the Japanese was because of their own language barrier - the north and south didn't speak the same language Live streams a go go - both got cut short and reminded me why it's tough to do this. Australian vids uploaded and ready to go, a couple to go and then we'll be done. It was an experiment in travel vlogging and I see how it should change going forward.
