China's ambassador to the United States Xie Feng has praised an American who appeared on the televised Lunar New Year's Eve gala as proof of the kindness that exists between the two peoples.
中国驻美大使谢锋对一位亮相电视春节联欢晚会的美国友人表达了高度赞扬，认为这体现了中美两国人民之间的深厚情谊。

这位美国友人名叫埃文·凯尔，来自明尼阿波利斯，他捐赠了一本珍贵相册，记录了日本在战时犯下的累累罪行， 其中包括1937年的南京大屠杀。

为表彰凯尔的捐赠行为，中国政府向他颁发了一件采用古代技法手工制作的稀有瓷器。 在帝制时期，这种瓷器是专供皇帝使用的。
Such awards have been given twice before, and in both cases they were posthumous.

Kail came across the rare photo archive in August 2022 when a customer brought an album into his shop.
2022年8月，一位顾客带着一本相册走进了凯尔的店铺，凯尔偶然发现了这本珍贵的照片档案。
