OurWWIIMemories: Then-and-now images of Nanjing City Wall

The wall you pass by today once burned in the flames of war. Photographer Mao Shouhao visits locations shown in historical photos of the Nanjing City Wall, a defensive structure built during China's Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), and compares the past with the present. His blended then-and-now images bring historical moments to life, reminding viewers that peace is fragile and hard to maintain.
