Tsen Shui Fang dating history

Details

Tsen Shui Fang (Chinese: 程瑞芳, 1875–1969), or Cheng Ruifang (née Yue) in some translations, was a Chinese nurse who worked in tandem with American missionary Wilhelmina "Minnie" Vautrin as her assistant during the Nanjing Massacre. Together Vautrin and Tsen would provide help for women and children in the Ginling College. Both Tsen and Vautrin kept diaries during their time in Nanjing, or Nanking, to document everyday occurrences they witnessed during the Japanese invasion. This diary has led her to be known as the "Anne Frank of the East," as this is the only firsthand account during Nanjing Massacre by a Chinese national. On October 10, 2015, Tsen's diary was added to the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme. The original scripts of the diary is currently kept in the Second Historical Archives of China in Nanjing.
