来自美国明尼苏达州的埃文·凯尔，因一本二战时期记录日本侵华证据的相册，其生活从此与中国紧紧相连。2022年，他在工作中偶然得到这本相册，发现其中的内容震撼且具历史意义。他拒绝了种种威逼诱惑，将相册捐赠给中国驻芝加哥总领馆，之后他仍在持续致力于挖掘相关照片背后的真相，宣扬和平的理念。
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，在捐赠相册两周年之际，他首次来到中国，在北京、天津、上海等城市感受中国的美好，向南京大屠杀的遇难者致以最深切的哀悼，其行程彰显对和平的坚守。他表示愿成为文化交流的桥梁，希望通过自己的努力让更多人关注那段历史，并以史为鉴，迈向更加和平的未来。
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.
