The more I watch the end, the more shocked I feel, especially about the Russian Bolsheviks. I suddenly realized: behind every successful government there is a dark side. It's just that it's not widely known because the truth is always covered up. Sometimes I really doubt the society we live in.
3 books to read all night
1. Explain the cause of World War I. It turns out that this war can be avoided! Due to the misjudgment, arrogance and irresponsibility of the ruling class, millions of lives were wiped out! 2. The scene when the courier delivered the letters announcing the life and death of the soldiers to every household in the village of IJssel, made me cry! Religion, belief, disputes, prejudices, misunderstandings. . . None of it matters. Just like my grandpa said, now that I have my daughter, my granddaughter, and my great-grandson, what else can I ask for! 3. Confess your love to the male protagonist Walter! He respects tradition and is open-minded, has a good brain and is handsome, opposes war and is brave and fearless, dares to pursue his love and is single-minded! In reality, would such a man lack a sense of humor? Hahaha~ 4. Also, the male and female protagonists in the book are both young men with strong sexual energy! 😂
Why can't I see it after paying?
It feels expensive. I like it.
The excitement of history and destiny
Brothers and sisters Fitz and Maud, brother and sister Billy and Ethel from the UK; Walter from Germany; brothers Gregory and Lev from Russia; and Gus from the United States. They live in their respective countries and are forced to have their fates intertwined because of the war. They merge together on the historical timeline and at the geographical point of space. Different destinies and unique characters flow with the tide of history. They use their own hands to row oars on the magnificent historical scene, where rapids surge and undercurrents are dense, and death pushes their fate onto the waves of history. In less than 600,000 words, this book depicts many vivid images and the ups and downs of the fate of characters. The ink not only involves the grand war scenes and political struggles between countries, but also focuses on the daily life and emotional dynamics of specific characters. The layers of descriptions three-dimensionally and comprehensively show the history of the bumpy destiny of mankind that is not far away from us. It seems to give readers an immersive feeling, and the rhythm of breathing changes with the ebb and flow of the fate of the characters in the book. There, people's destiny is guided by history, and at the same time, it promotes the development of history in order to change destiny. Destiny and history move forward together in mutual stimulation, forming a human epic.
In fact, we can only see some boring records from history books about what happened in the First World War. But in this novel, our previous imagination is made more real and full. By describing the ups and downs of the lives of five families before and after World War I, it shows the ups and downs and rebirth of empires from the small to the big, which is very grand. This is a novel that can give people courage!
During World War I, people in various countries saw what the government wanted to see, and then they defended it paranoidly and opposed sober people. What we see now is probably the result of screening.
I think the most exciting part of the book is the likes from the Little Yellow Book section.
history
The history in history books is boring, but reading novels to understand history is a very interesting thing. Nowadays, many students do not like to study history and understand history as a boring thing. In fact, it is not. To say that history is boring and boring is actually because you only know how to "read".
Do things when you are awake, read when you are confused, sleep when you are angry, and think when you are alone; be a happy person, read, travel, work hard, care about your body and mood, and become the best version of yourself.
