Chapter 35 The Twelve Hairpins of Jinling

As the old saying goes, a gentleman doesn't use his hands.

But sometimes, it's more effective to do it with your hands than with your mouth.

As it is now.

When the muzzle of a black hole hole was pressed against the forehead of the big man, the big man who had been clamoring and agitating everyone to leave Zhou Tianming and them behind him was sweating profusely in an instant.

Scared.

I was scared by the gun on my forehead.

"I ...... I....... The big man was silent for a while, but he didn't say a good following.

It's not that he doesn't want to say.

It's that he doesn't dare to say.

When he saw Zhou Tianming's cold gaze as cold as silk, he subconsciously swallowed the words behind him into his stomach.

He knows.

Knowing that if he dared to say one more word, the commander who put the gun to his forehead would definitely not hesitate to pull the trigger of the gun in his hand.

How can a human head be an opponent for a bullet?

So at that time, it was very likely that his brain would burst and die.

As long as it's not a fool.

No one will want to die.

Besides, he instigated everyone to leave Zhou Tianming and the others behind, wasn't it just for the sake of his own life? In case the devil is dissatisfied, he can hand over Zhou Tianming and the others, so as to exchange his life for his life.

It's just that things didn't get done well, and some of them were self-defeating.

"Sir, you can't ......." The big man who figured out the reality quickly changed his attitude.

"If you say another word, Lao Tzu will shoot you." Zhou Tianming said coldly, and when he was done, he turned on the nose of the shell gun in his hand, and showed that he was about to kill at any time.

In the face of death.

Dahan finally obediently closed his mouth.

Zhou Tianming did not pull the trigger of the gun in his hand in the end.

It's not that he doesn't want to.

It's a little unbearable.

Although Dahan has some traitorous behaviors, after all, there is no established fact, so Zhou Tianming has some virgin biao who can't do it. After that, he didn't care about the big man, but took the dog and others and quickly evacuated the battlefield.

Let's talk about the big man.

Seeing that he had turned around in the ghost gate, he immediately sat down weakly on the ground, gasping for breath.

A few minutes later.

This guy suddenly came to his senses as if he had sucked a big ma, got up from the ground in one go, looked at the direction of Zhou Tianming and their departure with hatred, and spat heavily, then tidied up his clothes and walked in the direction of the devil headquarters.

Two flowers bloom.

One table each.

After blowing up the devil tank, Zhou Tianming and others, who left quickly, turned left and right and came to a foreigner's church.

Churches are a very important part of the daily life of Europeans, similar to temples in our country.

The church is the place where the three major schools of Christianity (Catholicism, Protestantism, and Orthodox Christianity) hold Mass and other religious matters.

The top three basilicas in the world today are Catholic: St. Peter's Basilica, Milan Cathedral, Seville Cathedral, and there are 1,520 Apostolic Basilicas in the world, most of which are located in Europe.

Outside of Europe, there are many churches, but these churches are not very famous and therefore not very noticeable.

But during the Anti-Japanese War.

These churches, which are not very eye-catching, have sheltered many refugees, especially during the Nanjing Massacre, these churches and safe areas have saved almost 250,000 Chinese compatriots.

These foreign friends who helped us were Rabe, Minnie Weitling, and John. Maggie and so on.

John Rabe (November 23, 1882 – January 5, 1950), a German businessman born in Hamburg, was known for his humanitarian actions during the Nanjing Massacre from 1937 to 1938, as well as the "Rabe Diary" as a detailed evidence of the Nanjing Massacre.

After the end of World War II, Rabe was arrested by the Soviet Union and then the British for being a member of the Nazi Party, but for his exploits in Nanjing, he received monthly money and food from the Nationalist government.

Published in 1997 and translated into Chinese, English, Japanese and German, Rabe's Diary is widely regarded as the most complete and well-preserved historical material for the study of the Nanjing Massacre.

John Magee, the only photographic footage of the Nanjing Massacre, was born in the United States in 1884 to a family of lawyers, and was sent to China as a pastor by the American Episcopal Church in 1912, serving as the chief inspector of the International Security Zone during the Nanjing Massacre.

Witnessing the atrocities of the Japanese army, Ma Ji picked up the Bell brand 16mm home camera, shooting a documentary in the area of the Drum Tower Hospital, when the Japanese army strictly controlled the movement of foreigners, photography and videography were absolutely prohibited, in early November 2007, Nanjing Massacre survivor Xia Shuqin countersued the Japanese right-wing writer for defamation infringement case The first instance verdict was announced, the Japanese side lost the case, and there was an important piece of evidence in the trial is a documentary shot by Ma Ji, there is Xia Shuqin, who was only 8 years old at the time, she was stabbed several times by the Japanese army and fainted, When she woke up, 7 of her family's 9 people were killed, only she and her 4-year-old sister survived, and 70 years later, Ma Ji took evidence to get justice for Xia Shuqin.

Fei Wusheng sewed the film into the lining of the coat and took it out of Nanjing.

He took to Shanghai a film shot by the priest John Magee, sewn into the lining of a camel hair coat, and this eight-reel film with a running time of 105 minutes is the only video document about the Nanjing Massacre.

The reason why these foreign friends were able to rescue and shelter 250,000 Chinese refugees during the Nanjing Massacre was mainly because of the country behind them.

The early days of the Anti-Japanese War.

The devil is not ready to be hostile to the whole world, so when facing these foreign friends, the devil is more restrained.

John Rabe, for example.

Without his German citizenship, he probably wouldn't have sheltered tens of thousands of refugees at once.

Another example is the movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" directed by Lao Mouzi, which also has such a scene, a scene where a foreign friend shelters a Chinese refugee.

Sigh.

Zhou Tianming, who was standing at the door of the church, couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the intact Gothic church in front of him.

The Gothic church is characterized by a towering minaret, and the design uses the power of cross arches, columns, flying coupons and a new frame structure to support the top, making the whole building tall and spacious, combined with the long windows inlaid with stained glass, giving the church a strong religious atmosphere.

The church in the movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" directed by Lao Mouzi is a typical Gothic church.

I just don't know if there are any thirteen hairpins in the movie!

Zhou Tianming, who had such a strange thought in his heart, waved his hand at the dog.
