description: "Bernhard Arp Sindberg, also known as \"Mr. Xin\" or \"Xinbo\", \"The Greatest Dane\", or the \"Shining Buddha\" was born in Aarhus, Denmark. His travels in his youth brought him to China, where he was one of few foreigners who witnessed the Nanjing Massacre. Sindberg tried to help Chinese refugees by allowing them to stay in the concrete factory where he worked as a security guard; his photos, letters and experiences later played a role in the understanding of the massacre. His efforts saved from 6,000 to 20,000 Chinese from a cruel fate, and he has been honoured on several occasions, including the title \"A friend of China\"."
