According to him: "Except for the black and white photos on the first few pages, the color photos at the beginning are too bloody. The American KTKT video prohibits the broadcast of bloody scenes, so he cannot release them. "
" I opened it and flipped through it. When I saw the last page, I screamed in fright! "
" "The simple fact is that this photo album does not belong to me, and this is where I need help. I will not buy it, and I probably can't afford it. I don't know how much it is worth, but it should be very, very expensive!" But in fact, this photo album should belong to a museum. "

html On September 2, Zou Dehuai, the owner of a domestic collection shop, told reporters that he has the same photo album of the American shop owner!They are all made of cowhide and hardcover, which he acquired during his trip to the United States in 2016. tml5
This album contains about 400 photos from the World War II era, most of which are the same as those released by the American pawn shop owner.
But Zou Dehuai said that the photos in the album he has and the photos in the American pawn shop owner’s album are currently public. There are currently no photos of Found content related to the Nanjing Massacre.
He estimated that the photos of the Nanjing Massacre pointed out in the video by the American shop owner were actually photos of the Shanghai Xianshi Company being bombed in 1937.
He also said that the photo albums were similar except for the material. , the cover designs are very similar, including photos of the massacre inside , and most of them are very similar.
This kind of photo album was actually customized by foreign officers and soldiers stationed in coastal cities. Many of the photos in it were purchased as souvenirs at that time, and the number of copies in existence is not small.
The American shop owner said. This photo album contains photos of the Nanjing Massacre, but according to him, the American shop owner’s photo contains Nanjing Road is not in Nanjing, but in Shanghai.
Nanjing Road is a famous street in Shanghai, China. It is the first commercial street in China and is as famous as Wall Street in the United States. Americans may not understand Chinese humanities and think Nanjing. The road is in the urban area of Nanjing, so there is a possibility of misinterpretation

If it is verified by the Nanjing Holocaust Museum that the World War II photo album in the hands of the American shopkeeper is similar to the World War II photo album purchased from the United States in the hands of domestic collector Zou Dehuai, then the final result will be that the World War II photo album on consignment in the American shopkeeper’s pawn shop is, therefore, It is not an orphan, and there are still many in existence. The full estimated value is only 1,000 US dollars.
Because pawn shops are similar to antique shops, if there are items of the same style, their market valuation will be significantly lower.
In this way, Americans may be disappointed, but it is not the American pawn shop owner who is disappointed, but the customers who ask him to help with consignment sales.
In this Internet era, having fans and traffic is priceless money. The American store owner has made a lot of money in China and the United States with his World War II photo album. It can be imagined that from this alone, he has made a lot of money.
This World War II photo album is very popular in the United States because the American people don’t pay much attention to the Nanjing Massacre, and many people even say they don’t know about it. This video by an American shop owner has made the historical truth of the Nanjing Massacre popular across the United States. This is very meaningful and positive, and is far beyond what money can estimate.
Looking at the comments of American netizens on the Nanjing Massacre, at this moment of tension between China and the United States, can we start from the private sector and gradually ease the relationship between China and the United States?
In this regard, Chinese shop owner Zou Dehuai said that the American shop owner did what he could not do. He holds the same photo album, but there is no shortage of themes such as the Nanjing Massacre in China. He tried to use the World War II photo album purchased from the United States in Domestic promotion, but there is no opportunity yet. Unexpectedly, the American shop owner helped him fulfill his wish! What's particularly valuable about
is that it has been promoted to the United States! The effect is surprisingly better! !
In this regard, the Chinese shop owner Zou Dehuai expresses his deep gratitude and tribute to the American shop owner Evan Kyle from the bottom of his heart!
It is particularly worth pointing out that Evan Kyle said that a color photo made him scream in fright, but domestic collector Zou Dehuai did not disclose that he had a color photo of the same album.
This is the difference between the two. Maybe the American shop owner actually has different color photos in his hands, and the visual impact will be even more shocking. Therefore, we have to wait for the follow-up verification by the Nanjing Museum to be sure, and we must try to get the photos of the orphans that we should have.
