Join Paul Hendrickson on May 8, 2024, in New York City for a captivating conversation with Kai Bird. The event, titled "Fighting the Night," delves into Hendrickson's personal journey as he unravels the heroic yet often overlooked experiences of his father, Joe Paul Hendrickson, during World War II.

As Hendrickson traces his parents' separate paths through the war, a portrait of a complex and enigmatic father emerges, revealing the hidden tolls of his service.

"Fighting the Night" not only brings to life a significant moment in American history but also explores the universal themes of violence, love, forgiveness, and loss that resonate across all wars. Hendrickson's poignant narrative pays tribute to the sacrifices made by those who selflessly served their country and the enduring impact on their loved ones.

Came here on September 19, 2017.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most important museums in the world. With the influence of American imperialism, it has collected cultural relics and artworks from various civilizations around the world through plunder. Most of these exhibits are representative cultural relics of various civilizations. I believe that every visitor will feel mixed emotions here.

The entire museum is classified according to different civilizations on different continents. Because everyone knows the origin of the collections, the exhibition is very simple and crude, that is, putting the things of a civilization in one place, without any good narrative, it is completely a &quot;trophy&quot; display.

There are many collections here. If you want to see them carefully, you need to spend one or two days. The museum is next to Central Park, and the two places can also be arranged to visit in one day, half a day in the park and half a day in the museum.

The representative of New York, the United States, there are two lines to go, we are on the ferry, and there are speedboats to sit, but this is the most cost-effective. I went at two o&#39;clock in the afternoon. There were not many people. It was just right to come back. If I went in the morning, there were more tour groups and the queue was very long.

The first day of the New Year is a tourist, but compared to the domestic people, the queue time is reasonable. . . The roof is too windy, the 80th floor is indoor, the photo has reflection, you can go up to the 86th floor to take pictures outside, overlooking the whole of New York.
