At Shao Ziping's house in Ryan Town, Zhang Chunru was talking about Rabe with Shao Ziping. Shao Ziping told Zhang Chunru: "In 1993, I went to Germany to look for clues about Rabe. I checked the phone book in Berlin, made many calls, and found more than fifty Rabes, but none of them were the Rabes we were looking for. I also went to the archives of the Berlin church and wanted to find clues about Rabes and their descendants from the church activity documents, but I did not find any records."

Zhang Chunru nodded slightly and said, "I brought back a lot of files of the Nanjing Massacre from China, which contained many diplomatic reports of the German government about the Nanjing Massacre. These reports mentioned that Germany repeatedly asked Rabe to leave Nanjing and return to Germany, but they were rejected by Rabe. Later, the German government sent the final coal distribution to Rabe through Siemens headquarters, requiring him to leave Nanjing and go to Shanghai before returning to Germany. Obviously, the German government believed that his actions in Nanjing were hindered from the foreign policy between Germany and Japan. There was no relevant information about Rabe's return to China in these information."

Shao Ziping sighed and said, "When Rabe left Nanjing, he promised to inform the German government about everything that happened in Nanjing, and to submit a report on the atrocities in Nanjing to Goring and Hitler. After he arrived in Shanghai, he also took a documentary that Feiqi secretly brought to Shanghai to wash away, and brought back to Germany. Nanjing people hoped that Rabe's confession would allow Germany to put pressure on the Japanese government to stop the atrocities. But after Rabe left China, he had no news, did not participate in the Tokyo trial, and there was no news, as if the world had evaporated." He looked at Zhang Chunru and said, "Didn't you write about the Nanjing Street Massacre? Is it important for Rabe's message after returning to Germany?"

Zhang Chunru said: "I want to know whether Rabe's fate later, as well as documentaries and reports were finally sent to Hitler. In the book, I must explain the fate of Rabe, John Maggie and others later; and I think Rabe is a great hero to the Chinese, and we also have the responsibility to figure out his fate later."

With a quick switch shot, Zhang Chunru began to visit the descendants of John Maji and others, as well as some historians, trying to find information about Rabe's departure from Nanjing, but no one knew Rabe's fate later.

The camera cut into Zhang Chunru's room. Zhang Chunru sat in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard, and the voice-over sounded: "Hello, Dear Dr. Martha Beechmann. Historian Charles Burdick of Findale, California told me that you are an expert in German history and can help me. This is the case. On December 12, 1937, after the Japanese army captured Nanjing, Japanese soldiers massacred 260,000 to 350,000 Chinese civilians and extremely cruelly raped 20,000 to 80,000 Chinese women. In this massacre, a group of Westerners set up a 2-square-kilometer security zone in Nanjing, protecting about 250,000 refugees. The person in charge of the security zone was German businessman John Rabe..."

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded. The camera switched, the door opened, and Futian from the Japanese Embassy walked into Rabe's house No. 1, Xiaofanqiao, and time returned to 1938.

After entering the living room, Futian told Rabe very politely that he was here to discuss going to Shanghai with Rabe. But without saying a few words, Futian couldn't help but tear off the mask and threatened Rabe: "If you say bad things to newspaper reporters in Shanghai, you are enemies of the Japanese army."

Rabe asked calmly: "So, what are you allowed to say in Shanghai?"

Fukuda replied: "It's up to you to consider."

Rabe said in a slightly mocking tone: "In my opinion, you are looking forward to me to say this to the newspaper industry: The situation in Nanjing is getting better and better. Your magazine will not publish any reports on the crimes of Japanese soldiers. Doing so will be like cheering up the fire and adding a more disagreement between Japanese and Europeans."

Futian did not pay attention to the sarcasm in Rabe's words and said with a smile: "If you can say that, that's great!"

The camera cuts to the Golden Girls University, and Weitlin and others organized a farewell tea party for Rabe in the Golden Girls University refugee camp. Foreigners and Chinese leaders in the safe zone all came over to clink cups with Rabe, and each took a sip.

At this moment, Cheng Ruifang came in and whispered to Weiterin that a group of women gathered outside the door and wanted to say goodbye to Rabe. Weiterin said to Rabe: "Mr. Rabe, some women in our refugee camp want to say goodbye to you. Can you go and meet them?"

"Of course." Rabe raised his teacup and drank it all, and came to the door with Weiterin. Everyone else came out. The scene in front of the Science Building not only shocked Rabe and the others, but also shocked the audience in front of the screen. More than three thousand women and girls knelt on the ground, crying and begging: "Please don't leave! Please don't leave us!"

When Rabe was about to leave, the girls held Rabe's suit back and kept putting it on. In the end, Rabe had to leave the car and, under the leadership of Cheng Ruifang, struggled to squeeze out a road and walked out of the gate. Rabe was in a very heavy mood on the way home, and he was unwilling to leave, but the German government forced him to return home, so he had to leave.

At 4 pm on February 21, at the headquarters of 5 Ninghai Road, the International Committee held a grand farewell party for Rabe. People handed Rabe a letter of thanks in both Chinese and English to Rabe and enthusiastically praised Rabe. Everyone raised their glasses and wished Rabe good health and all the best after returning to Germany. Although Rabe looked strong, his health was not good. Because he had diabetes, he always had a bottle of insulin and a tube of syringe in his pocket.

Rabe gave a passionate answer at the meeting: "Dear friends: I thank you very much. Your invitation gave me the opportunity to speak to you for the last time before I set out to leave here and return to Europe.

As you all know at this time, the International Committee of Nanjing Safety Zone has now changed its name to "Nanjing International Relief Committee". The French may say: "The king is dead, long live the king." From now on, we will continue to work under a new name, which is better in line with the nature of our current work. That is to say, after the safety zone has to be revoked according to the orders of the Japanese, we will be just a pure relief committee from now on. Please note the word "pure" means that there is nothing much, but nothing is much..."

After Rabe finished his speech, the audience burst into applause. The audience in front of the screen also applauded, especially the Chinese and Chinese. They were crying and patting gently, expressing their respect to Rabe in this way.

People gathered around on the screen, especially the Chinese people begged Rabe to leave the speech so that people could translate it into Chinese. Many Chinese people asked Rabe to sign, but they brought a lot of white paper. They asked Rabe to fill it up no matter what method they used.

At 8:00 a.m. on February 23, 1938, the time for separation was coming, and all the Americans reluctantly bid farewell to Rabe. Geoffrey and Williams of the British Embassy personally escorted Rabe to Xiaguan. At 9:00, the gunboat set sail. Rabe waved to Sperling, Han Xianglin and others who were coming to see him off.

The river water surrounded the gunboat and gradually moved farther away, just like the ancient poem: "The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is gone, but the Yangtze River flows in the sky!"

The camera cut to Zhang Chunru's home. Zhang Chunru sat in front of the computer and read the email, and the voice-over sounded: "Hello, Ms. Zhang Chunru. After receiving your letter, I wrote to Paste Miller, Bavaria. He collected a lot of whereabouts of Germans who had been in China. He immediately called me to tell me the names of Rabe's son Dr. Otto Rabe and Rabe's daughter Magret. Through them, I met Rabe's granddaughter Ursula Reinhardt..."

Zhang Chunru tapped the keyboard and the voice-over sounded: "Hello, Ms. Ursula Reinhardt! My name is Zhang Chunru, I am a writer. I am writing a book about the Nanjing Massacre recently. Your grandfather John Rabe is the head of the International Committee of the Nanjing Security Zone..."

Ding Ding Ding Ding! The phone ringing rang, Zhang Chunru walked to the table and answered the phone. Shao Ziping's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Chunru, I have translated the documents sent by Ursula Reinhardt. One of the materials was written by Rabe about his experience of being detained by the secret service after returning to China. There was a sentence in the letter, "Please read my diary for details about this matter," which means that Rabe is likely to have written his experience in Nanjing into a diary!

Zhang Chunru was also excited when she heard this: "Rabe has a diary written in Nanjing? Is there a diary for the documents Ursula sent me?"

"If there is no diary, please contact Ursula Reinhart quickly to see if Rabe's diary has been preserved." Shao Ziping said excitedly, "If there is Rabe's diary, if the diary was really written during the Nanjing Massacre, then its value will exceed the testimony of American missionaries, because Germany is an ally of Japan, and as a German, Rabe should have stood on the side of the Japanese."

Zhang Chunru immediately said: "I'll contact Ursula right away!"

After hanging up Shao Ziping's phone, Zhang Chunru immediately typing on the keyboard and emailed Reinhardt: "Hello Ursula! When I was reading the documents you sent, I saw Mr. Rabe mentioned that he had written a diary while in Nanjing. I don't know if these diaries have been saved, what are the specific contents..."

The camera cuts to the InterContinental Hotel in New York, USA, at 2:30 pm on December 12, 1996. The Federation of Compatriots in Nanjing Massacre Victims in New York spent $600 to rent a hall, and held a press conference specifically for the announcement of "Rabe's Diary", which attracted mainstream media from all over the world to interview.

At the venue, countless TV cameras and cameras were aimed at a German woman. She was Ursula Reinhardt, the granddaughter of John Rabe, the chairman of the International Committee of the Nanjing Security Zone. She showed reporters from various countries the wartime diary and information written by her grandfather John Rabe during the Nanjing Massacre.

At the meeting, when introducing the bumpy discovery of "Rabbe Diary", Shao Ziping said: "The first thing we can do is to thank Zhang Chunru, a writer living in Sunnyvale, California. When she collected information for books on the Nanjing Massacre, she found Reinhardt in order to pursue Rabbe's whereabouts. Only then did we know that Rabbe has another diary passed down from generation to generation."

A set of quick editing shots appeared on the screen, and a series of newspapers, media such as the New York Times, the Guardian, the Le Monde, and the People's Daily reported the news in the form of front-page headlines; then, news clips of TV stations such as cnn, abc, bbc, and CCTV appeared on the screen, reporting the release of "Rabe Diary".

The "Rabe Diary" that has been silent for more than half a century has seen the light of day again, causing a sensation all over the world!

The atmosphere of the movie "Angel of Justice" is very heavy and depressing. Although Zhang Ran has been adjusting his emotions through various means and arranging some small points to release the audience's emotions, the audience still feels uncomfortable and breathless. "Rabe Diary" was released and attracted worldwide attention, which undoubtedly greatly released everyone's emotions.

Almost everyone has the same word in their hearts, it’s so fucking relief! Everyone knows that "Rabe Diary" is released, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to those who want to cover up and distort the truth of the Nanjing Massacre!
Chapter completed!
