Author Ha Jin reads from his latest book, Nanjing Requiem, the story of Minnie Vautrin, the dean of Jinling College, who earned the title "Angel of Nanjing" for her role in transforming her campus into a refuge for some 10,000 Chinese as they sought to escape the invasion of the Impresial Japanese Army. Ha Jin's experiences as a teenager in the People's Liberation Army and growing up in China during it's cultural revolution have informed his work.
