Chapter 1126: There are pictures and the truth

Zhang Chunru is a confident, beautiful, kind and great Chinese woman.

The 1997 book "Nanjing Massacre: The Forgotten World War II Catastrophe" in original time and space was published in the United States, author Zhang Chunru.

This book that boldly exposes the heinous crimes of the Japanese army that year caused a strong sensation in the Western world.

For the first time, Westerners began to examine the shocking tragic history of massacre.

Seminars related to the Nanjing Massacre were also held at universities such as Harvard and Stanford in the United States, and American news media have widely reported on the Nanjing Massacre.

This book was ranked among the most highly regarded New York Times bestsellers in the United States within a month and was named the most popular book among readers of the year.

Kirby, director of the history department of Harvard University, said in the preface to her book "The Forgotten Nanjing Massacre" that it is "the first English book to fully study the Nanjing Massacre."

As the author, Zhang Chunru was happy to see his works receiving great attention and the Nanjing Massacre was seen by more Europeans and Americans.

But at the same time, she was also enduring tremendous mental pressure.

This book hurts too much Japanese people's sensitive nerves. Once the book was published, Zhang Chunru was threatened and coerced by *******.

Not only that, as a father, the US authorities are also putting pressure on various ways.

Long-term high-pressure work and worrying about the persecution of the government have caused Zhang Chunru's health to be in trouble, and she suffered from severe depression.

Finally, Zhang Chunru, who was only 36 years old, ended her short but extraordinary life with a pistol in her car.

In 1991, Zhang Chunru has not yet started writing this book.

Maybe I won't write it anymore.

Because Qiao Feng was already copying.

This is the first time I copied the article without any psychological burden.

Because compared to Zhang Chunru, as an ordinary person, Qiao Feng is not afraid of threats and revenge from Japanese right-wing forces.

Zhang Chunru, let this beautiful and kind woman continue to live happily and happily.

The best way to commemorate history is to not forget it, not be indifferent, and remember it in your heart.

In this time and space, let me be the one who evokes people's memories.

At the end of the summer season, whether in Hong Kong or North America, the smoke of the film market is still permeating.

But the external troubles did not affect Qiao Feng, who was concentrating on copying books.

Qiao Feng copied this book very slowly.

It’s not that he can’t remember the content, but that he spent a lot of time reading various information about the Holocaust.

Because Qiao Feng is not only planning to use words to tell the Nanjing Massacre. Only with words, pictures, and even images can many European and American people better convince that the Nanjing Massacre is true.

In addition to domestic information, the most common historical materials about the Nanjing Massacre are naturally those of Japan.

But after World War II, Japan has been erasing and destroying information about the Nanjing Massacre.

Even if it is retained, it is not easy to find and see.

Therefore, the information from third parties outside China and Japan, foreigners who remained in Nanjing at that time, became one of the most important sources of information for studying the Nanjing Massacre.

Moreover, because it is a foreigner's own account, it can make foreigners more convinced of the authenticity of the Holocaust.

On that day, Qiao Feng was watching a 37-minute silent film and a diary written by a German.

The Thirteen Flowers of Jinling is a script written based on the diary of Ms. Minnie Weiterin, who once served as the dean of the Jinling Women's Arts and Sciences College and the director of the Department of Education.

The Jinling Women's Arts and Science College where Wei Telin was located was a refugee center specializing in hosting women refugees. During the Nanjing Massacre of the Japanese invaders, it became an important goal for the Japanese army to implement the ***. As the person in charge of the refugee center, Wei Telin's personal experience file - diary is the most convincing evidence of the sexual atrocities of the Japanese invaders.

Weiterin is not the only foreigner who used diary to record the various atrocities of the Japanese army during the Nanjing Massacre.

German Rabe and Ms. Weiterin and more than 20 other foreign friends jointly established the Nanjing Security Zone and were elected as the chairman of the Security Zone.

He also wrote his experiences and hearings during the Nanjing Massacre in his diary.

As early as when Qiao Feng was preparing to film the Thirteen Flowers of Jinling, he began to visit the descendants of foreign friends at that time, and look for the little and little records of the Nanjing Massacre they left behind.

Even if it is a sentence, even if it is a photo.

All are ironclad evidence of the Japanese army's heinous crimes committed during the Nanjing Massacre.

Mr. Rabe's diary was found in this case.

What is recorded in the diary is Rabe's personal experience, experience, and experience, very specific, detailed and true.

For example, on December 14, 1937: When we drove through the city, we realized the great extent of the damage. Every time the car passed one or two hundred meters, they would pass the corpses of civilians. I checked that the bullets were shot from behind, and it was most likely that the common people were killed from behind when they ran away.

December 16, 1937: I drove to Xiaguan to investigate the power plant. There were corpses on Zhongshan North Road... In front of the city gate, the corpses were piled up like hills... and people were killed everywhere, and some were in the barracks in front of the Ministry of National Defense. The sound of machine guns kept ringing.

December 22, 1937: While cleaning up the safe area, we found that many civilians were shot in ponds, one of which contained 30 bodies, most of them tied their hands, and some had stones tied to their necks.

................

No one can deny the credibility of these records, because while writing a diary, Rabe also carefully preserved more than 80 photos taken on the spot and gave detailed explanations of these photos.

These texts made an objective and fair evaluation of the actual situation and political right and wrong between the warring sides between China and Japan based on the environmental perception at that time.

Qiao Feng has read many historical materials about the Nanjing Massacre before, but in his opinion, Mr. Rabe's diary is definitely the most numerous and most complete historical materials currently studied by the Nanjing Massacre.

In his diary, there are more than 500 tragedies recorded in detail.

Such a complete and systematic record of the Nanjing Massacre has not been found in the historical materials found so far. It is definitely a major discovery in studying the Nanjing Massacre.

This diary was sent by Qiao Feng first found Mr. Rabe's granddaughter Reinhardt and then obtained it from her uncle, Mr. Rabe's son.

Coincidentally, Mr. John Maggie, who was also Mr. Rabe and Ms. Weiterin, who formed a safe zone during the Nanjing Massacre, also found a 16mm camera that Mr. Maggie took about the Holocaust during the Nanjing Massacre in the remains of his father stored in the basement not long ago.

The 37-minute silent film that Qiao Feng watched was a fine-cut version of the Holocaust edited from more than 100 minutes of film copies.

Qiao Feng was quite excited to get these information and images.
