下面是Joseph博士10月13日给大家的回信,他给列出了几个北美媒体的电子邮箱,并起草了一份督促信的样本。非常感激他为我们想得这样周到,实际上,本人并不擅长以英文写这样一份正式的书信。本人建议大家在信尾署名,并写上您的真实地址及电话,让媒体知道,这是来自一个真实存在的团结有力的群体的不容忽视的声音。 PLEASE POST & Share with your friends.
I have completed a draft of the Japanese language edition of the Rape
of Nanking, which can be viewed at:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7090135414759666746&hl=en
We are checking for errors and other problems which we will fix. Your
feedback is welcome. I admit, I feel I am putting my life in danger by
creating this film.
As promised, I have obtained the email addresses for PBS
representatives, including PBS president Ms. Kerger, and the New York
Times and the Los Angeles Times. I urge everyone, and their friends,
to send an email to Kerger, and to cc their letter to these other
addresses. This way, the New York Times and the LA Times will be
informed. We can have a great impact if thousands of people send an
email.
I have also written a sample letter (below). You may send that letter,
or you may send parts of that letter, or your may write your own
letter.
I will not profit from this: I am offering the film to PBS for free.
Truly,
R. Joseph, Ph.D.

Please Show the Film: The Rape of Nanking, this December.
We urge PBS and WGBH to show the highly acclaimed documentary film,
"The Rape of Nanking" this December, which is the 70th anniversary of
this tragedy. By showing this film, PBS will provide some balance to
what has been a biased, distorted view of history.
In the recent PBS series on WWII, Japanese were presented as victims
and Japanese soldiers were applauded for their bravery. However, the
major contributions and suffering of the Chinese people were
completely ignored. China was a major allie of the US. Over 30 million
Chinese were killed by the Japanese. Over 1 million Japanese soldiers
were fighting in China, and if the Chinese people had given up, these
one million Japanese soldiers would have been unleashed against the US
and America might have lost the war. In America, Chinese also suffered
because they were Asian. And yet PBS failed to make any mention of the
Chinese or Chinese-Americans, focusing instead on Japanese suffering
and bravery.
On the PBS home page, PBS pays honor to the 6 million Jews who died in
Europe. PBS is also planning to air yet another program glorifying the
bravery of Japanese soldiers. Why are the deaths of over 30 million
Chinese, and the suffering and
contributions of the Chinese people and Chinese-Americans ignored by
PBS? This type of programming is biased, racist, and presents a
distorted view of history.
The 70th anniversary of the Rape of Nanking is this December. We are
requesting that PBS and PBS stations air the highly acclaimed
documentary film, "The Rape of Nanking" which was produced by noted
scholar, Rhawn Joseph, Ph.D., and award winning journalist, Haiyan Wu.
This film has had a world wide impact, and has been viewed an
estimated 10 million times, 4 million times in the US. It is ranked #9
"Most Discussed Film of All Time" at Youtube. We believe this is one
of the best films ever made on this subject. The producers have agreed
to offer this film, free of charge to PBS stations. They would also
work with PBS to make any requested changes.
We urge you to show this film, "The Rape of Nanking" this December. |
