Chapter 613, "The Diary of John Rabe," tells the story of a miracle that saved 25 lives! It made him famous worldwide!

While researching materials on the Nanjing Massacre at the Yale Theological Seminary Library in the United States, Mr. Zhang unexpectedly discovered some documents by John Rabe, the chairman of the International Committee for the Nanjing Safety Zone.

They also learned that one of Rabe's nieces, Reinhardt, was still alive.

After making contact with Reinhardt, it was learned that Rabe had written a report to Hitler about the atrocities committed by the Japanese army and also kept a diary about the atrocities committed by the Japanese army, namely "The Rabe Diary".

From the perspective of German John Rabe, the book truthfully records what he witnessed: the Japanese air raids on Nanjing and the Nanjing Massacre.

Spanning from September 1937 to February 1938, the book details the atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders—burning, killing, raping, and looting—and the arduous efforts of international friends in rescuing Chinese refugees.

"The Diary of John Rabe" is an original record of the atrocities committed by the Japanese army by a Nazi. Through the restoration of history, it allows the world to witness a huge trauma in the history of Nanjing.

In his diary, Rabe's narrative from the perspective of an "other" to some extent abandoned subjective emotional coloring, increased the objectivity and fairness of the facts presented, and enriched the sense of historical authenticity and the shock of tragedy.

In 2009, a film of the same name was adapted for the big screen, sparking heated discussions once again and becoming a well-known film in China that exposes the Nanjing Massacre.

Its content realistically recreates the story of John Rabe and other foreign friends who painstakingly established the safety zone and did their utmost to protect 25 Nanjing citizens from the massacre by the Japanese invaders.

This is a difficult journey forward with heavy burdens!

It was an unprecedented miracle that saved 25 people!
The perilous process and the magnificent result are truly moving!

It has both a compelling story and dramatic tension, making it very suitable for film adaptation.

Takeshi Ono decided to film "John Rabe".

He had just learned the situation from Mr. Zhang; just like in his previous life, she had indeed discovered "The Diary of John Rabe".

However, at this time, the "Rabe Diary" had not yet been published and was unknown to the outside world.

Takeshi Ono is planning to acquire the rights and then adapt it into a movie.

It became the first film to tell the story of the Nanjing Massacre!
This will also be Takeshi Ono's first war film, and the investment will inevitably be substantial, but it poses no difficulty for him.

His only concern is that, as a "Japanese person" in this life, making such a film will inevitably provoke hostility and slander from some people.

This will likely have a significant impact on his reputation.

But Takeshi Ono made his decision almost without hesitation.

This might have a negative impact on him and cause some trouble, but he was fearless, undaunted, and had no regrets!
But please have a clear conscience!

Just like how Rabe took a huge risk and resolutely stood up to save 25 Chinese people, just like how our predecessors sacrificed their lives on the battlefield one after another!
Some things just have to be done!
Just like Zhang Chunru!
With him around in this life, Ono Takeshi will definitely not let the opponent fight alone again!
However, although we intend to make a film that exposes the Nanjing Massacre, we cannot just roll up our sleeves and rush into it. We still need to pay attention to certain methods and approaches in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

This is also why Takeshi Ono chose to film "John Rabe".

After all, his identity in this life is special. Although he is not afraid of trouble, if he is filmed directly, whether from the perspective of Japan or China, he will easily be criticized and will not be liked by either side.

However, if a third party like John Rabe were to present the Nanjing Massacre from an international perspective, exposing the atrocities of the Japanese invaders and the cruelty of the massacre, it would appear more objective and fair.

This will make it easier for Western audiences to empathize and accept the content.

Box office numbers are secondary; Ono Takeshi's goal is to raise awareness of the Nanjing Massacre.

Influence is his primary concern.

Another reason is that Takeshi Onino hopes to have the film released in Japan.

In its previous life, "The Diary of John Rabe" was boycotted by right-wing elements due to its content, and under their influence, it was eventually banned by the Japanese authorities.

Teruyuki Kagawa, the famous Japanese actor who played the war criminal Prince Asaka Yasuhiko, also faced questioning and criticism from the Japanese public.

If Takeshi Ono insists on filming "John Rabe," Teruyuki Kagawa's experience will likely be the one he has to face when the news is announced.

Takeshi Ono was mentally prepared for this.

But he hoped to change the original outcome and have "The Diary of John Rabe" screened in Japan, revealing the bloody truth of the Nanjing Massacre to Japanese audiences through the film. He hoped this would correct their distorted historical perspective and thwart some people's wishful thinking!
However, the specifics of how to proceed require further consideration.

As Ono Takeshi pondered the matter, going over it from beginning to end, a comprehensive plan gradually took shape in his mind, and the car arrived at its destination.

After parking the car, Ono Takeshi went inside and first called Shinmei Kaori to share his joy with his closest person.

After chatting on the phone for an hour, we finally ended the conversation.

After hanging up the phone, Ono Takeshi took a shower and then lay down on the bed.

Today was a very rewarding day for him, but compared to his encounter with Mr. Zhang, Oscar's achievement seemed insignificant.

Lost in thought, Oni Takeshi drifted off to sleep.

When you open your eyes again, a new day will begin, and light will eventually dispel the darkness...

……

the next day.

The Oscar results are starting to take effect.

Like a storm, it quickly swept across the world!

Unsurprisingly, Ono Takeshi became the headline news in major media outlets!

"Fifteen nominations and eleven awards! That man from the East becomes the biggest winner of this year's Oscars!"

"The Sixth Sense, The Silence of the Lambs... the best suspense thrillers! Yet they were all made by one person!"

"Kiyo Takeshi triumphs over all rivals and wins Best Director!"

"Is Spielberg's narrow defeat a sign of his declining health?"

"The youngest Oscar-winning director in history, this man has set a record!"

"A double yolk! An unprecedented miracle! Schindler's List and The Silence of the Lambs are tied for Best Picture!"

"Asia's first Oscar-winning actor is born! A look back at the life of Jin Kurosawa..."

"Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture all went to the East—a complete victory for the East! As the representative of the West, Hollywood should be on its guard!"

"Hollywood's crushing defeat!"

"Who can stop that man?"

"..."

Various news reports are rampant.

Some reports were factual and offered positive commentary, while others deliberately stirred up trouble, fearing that the world was not chaotic enough.

For a time, chaos ensued, and the whole affair became a huge uproar!
Those who were unaware of or had not followed the Oscar results last night were stunned when they saw the news in the newspapers.

That man from the East has created an unprecedented miracle!
It's truly unbelievable!

This is also the best result ever achieved by an Asian at the Oscars!
All of Asia felt proud, even though Oni no Takeshi was Japanese, at this moment, he was bringing glory to Asians.

Overnight, Takeshi Onino's name resounded throughout Asia!
Famous worldwide!

Acquaintances called one after another to congratulate Takeshi Ono.

However, Ono Takeshi's mind was no longer on these honors and social engagements; at this moment, he met with Mr. Zhang again...
