General Nogi Maresuke died on September 13, 1912, well before the events of World War II. The Nogi Shrine's [[Baidupedia]] page did not exist until the night before Zhang Zhehan’s incident. Nogi Maresuke’s Baidu entry was also edited midnight August 13. Edits by regular users typically take months to be approved. Both the general and the shrine are little known to Chinese citizens. In Japan, it is known for being a popular wedding spot, hosting between 550 to 1000 marriage ceremonies every year<ref>[http://sanpai-japan.com/2017/07/03/nogi-shrine/ Nogi Shrine - Sanpai Japan]</ref>. | |||

Mrs. Dewi is Sukaro’s fourth wife. Sukarno was the first President of Indonesia and was committed to the struggle for national independence. From Wikipedia, “Sukarno organised the Bandung Conference in 1955, with the goal of uniting the developing Asian and African countries into the Non-Aligned Movement to counter both the United States and the Soviet Union”. He was overthrown by the later President Suharto in 1965, who discriminated against Chinese-Indonesians, “creating a systematic cultural genocide” (Wikipedia). | |||
From comments that day, many netizens were misled to think Sukarno and Mrs. Dewi were responsible for the genocide, confusing him with Suharto. This confusion was exacerbated by edits made on Dewi Sukarno's Baidupedia page on August 13 by top level editors, changing the name of her husband from Sukarno to Suharto and indicating that she was anti-China and aligned with Japanese right-wing persons. | |||
A photo of Zhang Zhehan and Mrs. Dewi was used to claim that they were close associates. Zhang himself in his [[LXZ interview with ZZH|interview]] with [[Li Xuezheng]] clarified that he did not know Mrs. Dewi personally and did not in fact know who she was on the day of the wedding. She was introduced to him as a person in the entertainment industry and he agreed to take a photo with her out of respect for her age. | |||
