A Free Nanjing Residence Holds the Most Precious Light of Humanity

Through the bustling Guangzhou Road, turn into the tranquility of No. 1 Xiaofenqiao 🌿—this is the former residence of John Rabe. This German businessman with round-framed glasses, during the darkest hour of 1937, united with international friends at his residence to provide a life-saving umbrella ☔ for 250,000 Nanjing civilians. His "Rabe's Diary" still tells the unforgettable memories of that time. Most touching is the well-preserved air-raid shelter, every trace telling of those thrilling years. Before leaving, I saw a message in the guestbook from a visitor: "Heroes have no nationality, great people have no borders." Mr. Rabe, this city you deeply loved will always remember your humanitarian light 🙏🏻 🕒8:30—16:30 (Closed from Saturday afternoon to Sunday) 🎫Free admission.
