Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox film Шаблон:Nanjing Massacre Don't Cry, Nanking, also known as Nanjing 1937 (Шаблон:Zh), is a 1995 Chinese film about the 1937 Nanjing Massacre committed by the Imperial Japanese Army in the former capital city Nanjing, China.
Plot
Set in late December 1937, the story focuses on a family, a Chinese doctor, his pregnant Japanese wife and their two children, who escaped the Battle of Shanghai hoping to seek refuge in the capital where the doctor was born.
Being Japanese, the wife must hide her origins to the Chinese citizens, but soon upon their arrival, the city is invaded by the Imperial Japanese Army and this time, it is the father who tries to hide his identity as the family tries to reach the safety zone established by the International Committee for Nanking Safety Zone.
Among historical characters such as John Rabe and Minnie Vautrin, the film also features an out-of-context excerpt of the infamous hundred man killing contest between Toshiaki Mukai and Tsuyochi Noda.
There are some painful and brutal scenes such as the execution, by machine gun, of thousands of Chinese prisoners of war.
Being produced before the publishing of such books like Iris Chang's The Rape of Nanking and Herbert Bix's Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan, the movie shows General Iwane Matsui giving the order to "kill all the captives" and omits any reference to Prince Asaka.
