In his pawn shop tucked away in the United States, antiques expert Evan Kail made a find straight out of a movie scene: a worn suitcase bursting with black-and-white snapshots from World War II. 📸
Each photo captured raw moments of everyday life—soldiers sharing meals, families huddled around radios, and streets echoing with stories waiting to be told. That unexpected discovery flipped Evan’s world upside down and ignited a passion for history that still burns bright today. 🌟
Fast forward to 2025, when the world marks the 80th anniversary of victory in the World Anti-Fascist War and the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. On September 3, the Chinese mainland will host a grand parade to celebrate this milestone. From halfway around the globe, Evan plans to tune in, cameras ready and heart full of curiosity. 🎖️
What began as a dusty pile of photos has grown into a journey of archives, interviews, and connections across continents. For Evan, those snapshots aren’t just antiques—they’re living links to the past, reminding us that behind every historic date are human stories that deserve to be remembered. 🗺️✨
