Big news-we will recruit an eighth member. It's true! We always feel that one more person will have enough space and food. We are just worried that it will bring more trouble to Ku Fils and Claire. However, when we heard that the situation of Jews was getting worse and worse, my father found those two people and had to make a decision, and they also thought it was a wonderful plan. "Seven people are as dangerous as eight people," they said. That makes sense. After deciding, we immediately thought about our circle of friends, trying to determine which one is the most suitable to enter our "big family". The final candidate is not difficult to determine. After my father vetoed all the Van Dagen family members, we chose a dentist named Albert Dussel, whose wife was lucky enough to go abroad when the war broke out. It is said that he is a very quiet person. Judging from our most general contact with Mr. Van Dagen, both families think he is the ideal candidate. Mei Pu also knows him, so he will be arranged to come to our side. If he comes, he will sleep in my room and Margo will sleep in the camp bed.

Yours, Annie.

Dear Katie:

Dussel was overjoyed when May told him that she had found a hiding place for him. She warned him to come as soon as possible. Preferably Saturday. But he thinks this may be a problem, because he must first change the date of his card index, and then visit some patients and settle accounts. Mei Pu came to tell us the situation this morning. We all think it unwise for him to postpone the time. All these preparations have to be explained to a large number of people, which is very laborious. May is going to ask him if he can come over on Saturday.

Dussel said no; He said that he would come on Monday. I must say he is really crazy. At this time, this kind of thing is urgent, no matter what he is busy with. If he is caught outside, can he still be busy with cards, indicators, money and patients? Why delay? I think it is foolish for dad to give in. Nothing else-

Yours, Annie.

Dear Katie:

Dussel has arrived. Everything goes well. Mei Pu told him to wait for someone to pick him up at the designated place in front of the post office at eleven o'clock. Dussel showed up at the appointed place on time. Mr. Fils also knew Dussel. He went up to him and told him that the gentleman who had agreed to meet him couldn't come, and asked him if he could go directly to the office to find Mei Aipu. Then, Ku Fils got on the tram and went back to the office, and Dussel walked in the same direction. Mei Pu helped him take off his coat so that no one would see Huang Xing, and then led him into the private office. Ku Fils stayed with him until the handyman left. Then, under the pretext of going to the private office to get something, Mei Pu took Dussel upstairs. She opened the revolving bookshelf and went to Dussel.

We all sat around the table upstairs, waiting to welcome the new guests with coffee and good brandy. Mei Pu first led him into the living room. He recognized our furniture at a glance, but he never thought that we were just above his head. Dussel nearly fainted when Mei Pu told him the truth. Fortunately, Mei Pu took him upstairs without giving him much dizzy time.

Dussel collapsed in his chair and looked at us one by one without saying a word, as if he had just met us. After a while, he stammered, "but ... aren't you in Belgium?" Didn't the military vehicle come? Didn't you succeed in running away that day? "

We explained everything to him and told him that we deliberately spread the story of soldiers and military vehicles in order to fool outsiders, especially Germans, so that they would not find us.

Dussel was once again speechless by this wonderful design. After he recovered a little, he began to look at our super practical and exquisite "secret room" carefully and said nothing but surprise.

We had lunch together. Then he took a nap, got up to have tea with us, and packed his things (Meipu had brought them to him in advance), especially after he received the printed "Rules of the Chamber of Secrets" (Van Dagen System) below, he felt more at home.

Thoughts: Anne, a teenage girl, was originally a girl full of dreams, but the ruthless Nazi shattered all her hopes and dreams and destroyed them all. But Anne's kindness and optimism made the light of hope in his heart never go out, and she never gave up until the last moment of her life. I deeply felt the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Nazis. Good people all over the world will remember this history and the darkest chapter in human history. We should forget our grief and sadness. We should hate Nazism, oppose Nazism and avoid similar tragedies from happening again.

War, the most terrible disaster of mankind! Although there are wars in the world, I believe there will be more and more kind people who love life, peace and all of us! The eternal peace of the global village will be able to wait for the sun.
