天津北方網訊：來自美國明尼蘇達州的埃文·凱爾，因一本二戰時期記錄日本侵華證據的相冊，其生活從此與中國緊緊相連。2022年，他在工作中偶然得到這本相冊，發現其中的內容震撼且具歷史意義。他拒絕了種種威逼誘惑，將相冊捐贈給中國駐芝加哥總領館，之後他仍在持續致力於挖掘相關照片背後的真相，宣揚和平的理念。

Evan Kail, from Minnesota in the United States, has been closely linked to China ever since his life was changed by an album that recorded the evidence of Japanese invasion of China during World War II. In 2022, he accidentally obtained this album at work and found that its contents were shocking and historic. He rejected all kinds of coercion and temptations and donated the album to the Consulate General of China in Chicago. Since then, he has been continuously dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the relevant photos and advocating the concept of peace.

2024年11月，在捐贈相冊兩周年之際，他首次來到中國，在北京、天津、上海等城市感受中國的美好，向南京大屠殺的遇難者致以最深切的哀悼，其行程彰顯對和平的堅守。他表示願成為文化交流的橋梁，希望通過自己的努力讓更多人關注那段歷史，並以史為鑒，邁向更加和平的未來。

In November 2024, he made his first visit to China on the second anniversary of his donation of the photo album. He experienced the splendor of China in the cities such as Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai, and paid his deepest condolences to the victims of the Nanjing Massacre. His itinerary demonstrated his adherence to peace. He expressed his willingness to become a bridge for cultural exchanges, hoping that through his own efforts, more people would pay attention to that period of history and learn a lesson from it so that they would move towards a more peaceful future.
