2017年是南京大屠杀惨剧的80周年纪念。在今年的12月13日，南京市将会举行庄严隆重而又肃穆的国家公祭，来祭奠那三十万遇难同胞的在天之灵。而在80年前，从亚凯迪亚市(Arcadia)美以美联合基督教会(又称卫理公会)派出到南京的一位传教士，罗伯.威尔逊医生(Dr.Robert Wilson) 却见证了日本侵略军在南京市的暴行，并且在那段悲惨黑暗的岁月中，亲手拯救了数百成千人的生命。
他出生在南京的传教士家庭，所以他一直把南京当作他的家乡。他长大后回到美国受教育，在哈佛医学院毕业后，携带着新婚妻子回到南京，在鼓楼医院做了一名外科医生。当日本侵华战争在1937年即将打到南京,各国使领馆撤侨之时，他决定冒著生命的危险留下帮助那些无助的百姓,同时与其他14名美国公民和一些西方人在一起, 组织了国际委员会, 设立了难民安全区;而因此就在那里他们救下了二十多万南京市民的生命。
今天，他的名字被刻在南京大屠杀纪念博物馆的墙上,尽管在美国亚凯迪亚市，他定居的家乡鲜少有人知道他的名字或事迹; 甚至我们华人也早已淡忘了他! 但他是一个历史的见证者,一个中华民族的友人!   
他是一个不分族裔的博爱和关怀的象征，他是一个上帝的仆人，美国的公民，自认的南京人,更是是世界的人道主义英雄! 但对我们来说: 他将永远被记忆为一个我们的自己人,一个“蓝眼睛的南京人”！今天，我们华裔美国公民希望对这位过去在我们祖国做过这样英勇行为和伟大事迹的美国公民表示感谢,我们希望通过在当年那座派遣他到南京的亚凯迪亚市的Methodist教堂的中庭里, 捐赠一个简单淳朴的纪念碑来纪念他。在Arcadia市议会的帮助以及教堂牧师的支持下，将于11月12日完成，届时我们将安排一个揭碑的仪式，南京市政府及大屠杀纪念馆都会派代表前来参加；我们更希望您来参与这个意义深刻的活动，请在以下时间莅临会场：
日期： 11月12日星期日上午十一点 11:00 A.M
地点： United Methodist Church 美以美联合基督教会(卫理公会) 好牧人教堂
         400 W DurateRoad（与Holly交叉）Arcadia，CA91007
(活动无需报名，请大家着装肃穆前往)
  我们看见，威尔逊医生既是一位美国公民,又以南京市民自居,他象征著不分族裔的关怀与博爱,通过继承威尔逊医生的精神，我们更能不分肤色和族裔的融洽相处, 他带领著我们迈向更美好的明天，他是中美公民共同的光荣, 所有人道主义者的模范, 追思纪念他将使美国主流社会更看见我们华人社会传统文化重情义的美德;追悼南京大屠杀的遇难同胞更是不忘历史的责任!我们诚挚的期待着您的光临！

关于南京大屠杀，我们同样要记得一位华裔的女作家，1997年张纯如出版英文著作《南京暴行：被遗忘的大屠杀》（TheRape of Nanjing）揭露日本侵华的残暴罪行，并要求日本政府对华道歉。2004年11月9日，年仅36岁的张纯如自杀身亡。2017年11月9日是张纯如去世13周年纪念日。此次威尔逊医生纪念活动我们还荣幸的邀请到著名已故华裔作家张纯如女士的父亲张绍进先生和母亲张盈盈女士从北加州赶来。威尔逊医生的女儿与家人和张纯如父母的会面也将会是历史性的一刻。把我们带回到80年前那个战火与血腥的冬天，让我们共同纪念那些亲历和铭记南京大屠杀这段历史的人们，见证历史，追忆那些关于战争与生命的往事。

“Nanjing Massacre and the Doctor Who Stayed to Save Lives”
Eighty years ago, a missionary dispatched from ArcadiaMethodist church decided to remain in the war zone during the atrocity of NanjingChina, had saved hundreds to thousand’s people’s lives.
Eighty years ago, a missionary dispatched from Arcadia Methodistchurch decided to remain in the war zone during the atrocity of Nanjing China,had saved hundreds to thousand’s people’s lives.
Dr.Robert O. Wilson was born in Nanking on the 5th of October, 1906.  The sonof American missionaries, he attended college in the States and graduated fromPrinceton University.  He received his medical degree from Harvard, in1929, and returned to the city of his birth (now known as Nanjing) in 1936.
Thefollowing year, as Japanese soldiers drew ever-closer to Nanking, Wilsonremained as a staff doctor at the University of Nanking Hospital.  By thetime the city fell, most of the other physicians had fled.
Wilsonwas the only surgeon left who could treat victims of the NankingMassacre.  His work at the hospital, and in the Safety Zone (which wasestablished as an attack-free area), helped to save thousands of lives. He is the physician who is caring for patients in John Magee’s film (historicalfootage shot during the time of the massacre).
Likehis colleagues, Wilson kept a diary of what he witnessed.  He alsowrote letters to his family about the horribly injured people hetreated:
Theslaughter of civilians is appalling. I could go on for pages telling of casesof rape and brutality almost beyond belief. Two bayoneted corpses are the onlysurvivors of seven street cleaners who were sitting in their headquarters whenJapanese soldiers came in without warning or reason and killed five of theirnumber and wounded the two that found their way to the hospital.  (Dr. Wilson’s letterto his family, 15 December 1937.)
Days later, Dr. Wilson wrote these words:
Let me recount some instances occurring in the last twodays. Last night the house of one of the Chinese staff members of theuniversity was broken into and two of the women, his relatives, were raped. Twogirls, about 16, were raped to death in one of the refugee camps.
In the University Middle School where there are 8,000people the Japs came in ten times last night, over the wall, stole food,clothing, and raped until they were satisfied. They bayoneted one little boy ofeight who have [sic] five bayonet wounds including one that penetrated hisstomach, a portion of omentum was outside the abdomen. I think hewill live.   (Dr.Wilson’s letter to his family, 18 December 1937.)
Currentlyhis name is carved on the wall of Nanjing Massacre Museum, though few knows hisname or story in his hometown.
He is asymbol of how love and care is regardless of ethnicity, he is a servant of God,an American citizen as well as a humanitarian hero to the world, but for usChinese people to say, he’ll be always remembered as one of us, “A blued eyedNanjing citizen” ！
Today The Chinese American citizen wish tomanifest their gratefulness to this American citizen who did such a courageousact and great deed in our father land, we hope to commemorate him by donating asimple monument placed in the court yard of his church in Arcadia.
Date: November 12th Sunday at 11:00 A.M
Venue:UnitedMethodist Church
400W Durate Road, (Cross with Holly)
Arcadia,CA 91007
We believe we will have a better tomorrow bycarrying forward Dr. Wilson’s spirit of love and humanity, he is our civicpride, and we cordially looking forward for you presence!
