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.
