I haven't experienced it, but I won't forget

When the first bombing started, my throat was blocked by something, I couldn't drink water, and then I was angry, but not for Japan, nor for those who were not friendly to the Chinese people during the war , but against brutal warfare.

War is a farce that will never stop in human history. When it doesn't happen around us, it's just our history or someone else's history. But when the pain remains in people's hearts and hasn't been washed away by time, then It's our story, and now this story is told in a different way by a German, maybe the time to heal the pain through it could be shorter.

After talking so much nonsense, let’s talk about the film. This should be regarded as a feature documentary. The whole film is full of grief. Although it is not as direct as other films about the Nanjing Massacre, the clips about the massacre that appear are also very interesting. Few, but from the perspective of a kind German, it makes people feel the cruelty of that period of history, as well as the shamelessness and cruelty of the Japanese army. To be honest, I am really angry, but every time the sound of Rabe’s piano can always be heard. Sounds when you are angry, soothe your anger.

This story may have been recorded in everyone's history, but we can never understand how the people who experienced that period felt. We wanted to write more, but we couldn't, because the mood was very depressed, so we can only use this to commemorate those who have passed away. people, may you rest in peace

  • John Rabe: To the Führer of the German people. Chancellor Adolf Hitler. My Führer. As a loyal party member and upstanding German. I turn to you in a time of great need.

Please help to end this catastrophe and make an appeal to our Japanese allies in the name of humanity. With a German salute.
