Almost all films and documentaries about the Nanjing Massacre in 1937
are shot from the point of view of the victims. A new film released
nationwide on April 22 takes a look through the eyes of a horrified
young Japanese soldier from a church school. "City of Life and Death", also called "Nanking! Nanking!" by young
Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan is one of two films about the massacre to be
released this month.
The other, "John Rabe", is a Sino-German co-production to be
released next Wednesday, concerning a German businessman's efforts to
set up a safe haven for a quarter of a million Chinese.
