The Children of Huang-Shi 黃石任務

This was a great movie in my opinion, because it gave me new knowledge I never had before. The movie was really deep, and the way the main character Hogg treated all the Chinese children as his own kin. This movie was especially touching, because Hogg was British, and he went into Nanking just to write papers. After a while, he arrived at an orphanage. At first he didn't like the place because the children were disrespectful to him, and he didn't know how to speak Chinese. But after a while, he started helping the orphanage out by mending things, such as the windows and the power generator. The kids started to get really close to him. He taught them English, and they also helped him improve his Chinese. After the Japanese got closer to where they were, he took the children and crossed a few hundred miles to go to a safer location where they can build a new orphanage. This movie was really touching, because he saved alot of children from the Japanese. He totally changed the lives of these kids. He died when they finally reached Huang-Shi. This made me realise that one man could really change the world. He changed the lives of many kids. He sacrificed his own life to save them from all the despair and doom. He is truly a great man.
