There Is No Snow in Berlin

In 1940, when the streets of London were filled with heavy fog, Shen Zhiwei met the German spy Carl von Schlieffen for the first time on the terrace of the Savoy Hotel. There is no honesty in the fog. From the moonlight in North Africa, the air-raid shelters in Chongqing, to the ruins of Berlin, they fell in love across war and lies. He betrayed his motherland for him, and he burned his identity for him. In 1945, Shen Zhiwei found Karl's body in the basement of Abwehr, along with a letter that was too late to send. Carl said in his last words, I knew who you were from the beginning, but I still loved you. I will Always Love You. Forty years later, the Berlin Wall fell. Eighty-one-year-old Shen Zhiwei received a safe sent by Carl before his death. Inside was a stack of secretly taken photos of him. Young Shen Zhiwei's eyebrows were melancholy, but in the eyes of his lover, they were extremely vivid. From the beginning of their love, the only thing that was real was looking at each other in the fog. "The fog will eventually clear, but some things will stay. They will always be by your side." Such as two oak trees growing side by side, such as the love that has never been spoken, such as the long and lonely remaining life that a spy bought for himself with death. The haze of war has gone away, and there will no longer be bloodshed in Carl's hometown. Until the year Shen Zhiwei died, there was no snow in Berlin. Those innocent and selfless souls took away the leaden gray fog before leaving, and sprinkled a piece of innocence into the world. There will be no more blood in Berlin. There is no snow in Berlin this year either. … "In the fog, people react a little more honestly." "The fog will eventually clear." "Yes. But some things stay." "Huh?" "I love you. Shen Zhiwei, I hope you can be yourself. No matter what you will become in the future, Carl von Schlieffen will always love you." … At this point, I must stop writing. We should always take a moment to pay tribute to our hard-won peace and to pay tribute to all the great warriors who sacrificed their lives for their ideals. There is a very long story here, and I am going to tell it to you slowly in very short paragraphs. Greetings to you, my dear readers. Happy dining! [Reading Tips] 1. Both male protagonists are patriotic, but in different ways: one devotes himself to his country, and the other commits treason for his love. 2. Superficial HE (both accomplished their mission), actual BE (never really staying together, the rest of their lives are spent in mourning) 3. All foreshadowings will eventually be recovered, all lies will eventually be exposed, only love cannot be verified Intention: During the war, the identity is false, the position is false, and even the love words uttered from my mouth may be false. But one thing, I swear by my faith, there is nothing false about my love for you. We have been wandering in troubled times, and the so-called true love will only be crushed into pieces by the torrent of the times, turned into the last bubble of three months of madness, turned into eternal secrets in the archives, turned into a smoldering embers of history.
