The scene is not as good as "Nanjing", the truth is worse than "Nanjing"

Of course, the scene cannot be compared with "Nanjing", but the characters created are more realistic, not as artificial as "Nanjing".
The most disgusting is the scene in "Nanjing" where Rabe kneels to the Chinese refugees. Lu Chuan is really a pig's brain. It is our refugees who should kneel, not Rabe, who saves people.
We shout every day that we need to educate students on gratitude, but are we grateful to foreigners who have helped us in history, especially Americans? Rabe, Stuart, etc. Are we fair to them? We should face history squarely and seek truth from facts is correct.

John Rabe quotes

  • Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: Congratulations, Major. You'll make an excellent commander one day. But I ask myself, why is it that I give orders not to take prisoners, and you arrive with thousands?

    Major Ose: Please forgive me.

    Japanese Officer: Your Highness.

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: I didn't ask you to speak!

    [Japanese officer steps back and bows]

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: So, Major. What do you propose?

    Major Ose: Your Highness. It would be extremely difficult to execute that many prisoners.

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: Is that so?

    Major Ose: Furthermore, I believe such executions could be considered to be illegal.

    Prince Asaka Yasuhiko: Illegal? I am entrusting you personally with resolving this matter once and for all. I want no prisoner alive by tomorrow morning. We will also shell the city center. Nanking must experience the superiority of our troops.

  • Colonel Nakajima Kesago: He disobeyed the rules by not staying in the car.

    John Rabe: He didn't stay in the car? His head was cut off!

    Colonel Nakajima Kesago: It was an honorable death. A contest between two officers. Very popular in Japan.

    John Rabe: What contest?

    Colonel Nakajima Kesago: Who decapitates the most enemies.
