forgiveness, release

Don't want to say too much. Thanks Rabe.

Good people are actually simple, they are worthy of their conscience.

Good people are not necessarily rewarded. A good man is a good man, he just has to be worthy of his conscience.

Soldiers should also be worthy of their military status. I respect the more principled Japanese officer here. I believe there are such Japanese officers. They are all people.

But war is cruel. And don't expect mercy from the enemy. Defeated and died, nothing else to say. This is cruel, it was in the past, it is now, and I am afraid it will still be in the future. Still have to be mentally prepared.

I am not afraid to die, but it is the most painful to implicate my wife and children. This is the most unbearable thing about war.

Comparing heart to heart, it is better to treat the enemy's wife and children in the future. Don't be too harsh on prisoners. To melt captives. The CCP has done a good job in this regard. They are good to each other, and they are also good to Japanese people living in China. In the end, the Japanese influenced a lot.

grateful. But if you don't hold grudges, I said it doesn't count. People are always a little temperamental. Whoever makes me unhappy must make him unhappy. This is human nature. But still enough. Look ahead.

Forgiveness is the only way to be free and move forward.

Dedicated to today's special day.

    The most terrifying thing is war, and the most precious thing is feelings. Ashamed of my lack of this history!

    How to say it, maybe because of the perspective of foreigners, many things have become superficial. The whole film really focuses on Rabe’s life rather than the Nanjing Massacre. Many scenes in it are handled too plainly, so The background of the film is pale and weak, but Rabe's portrayal is still very complete, but shouldn't it be the most essential to move people back? The dubbing of the domestic version especially ruined the whole film, I need to watch the original version...
