This story is based on an old diary.
The mottled handwriting on its pages bears witness to the faded shadows of the past.
It is all about cruelty, war, humanity, and beauty.
Everything was buried in an age of blood and tears.
In 1935, Hu Dailin was sent by the Republic of China government to study at a German military academy.
During her lonely and rigorous student life abroad, she met Wolf von Stauffenberg, a cold and stern German officer,
and Daniel Reuterbold Himmler, an elegant and wicked captain.
Her ambiguous relationships with them, feelings like poppies, were alluring and impossible to resist.
In that turbulent and mad gray age, war twisted human nature and destiny.
Only at the very end did she finally understand that love was nothing but the hopeless business of possessing and being possessed.
In this age of life and death, of blood and tears, to wish for peaceful years and a tranquil world was nothing more than her ultimate hope for love.
Theme:
He is better than be, [crying] The ending is so sad. Although Dailin has found her final destination, she has lost all her relatives except Wolf. Daniel is even more upset. A typical victim and perpetrator of Nazi Germany is a prisoner of an era. Although it does not apply to him, I still think of the sentence "How can a soldier prove his loyalty to the motherland if his hands are not stained with blood?" Daniel, are you deceiving yourself like this when you dream back at midnight?
I've finished reading it. It's an ancient World War II novel, but the quality is good and the characters are very tense. It's almost hard to find in Jinjiang. After all, the two I found as an amateur are very stupid.
After reading this article on March 17, 2026, I felt a little depressed, as if I really felt the chaos, sorrow, and people's inability to control themselves in that era. I witnessed Onodela's growth, Daniel's fall, Wolfe's introspection...
The executioner finally got the punishment he deserved, ending his life with the honorary pistol he had received during the Night of Long Knives. It's like a cycle of life, starting with sin and ending with sin. I don't know if he felt any regret when he saw that wedding photo at the last moment of his life. I hope he did, but the real devil will never look back.
Wolfe is another direction of Daniel's destiny. Even under the influence of Nazi ideology, he awakened and did not go deeper into the abyss step by step. Perhaps this is why he was able to stay with his lover in the end instead of committing suicide like Daniel.
Although I didn't agree with Onodela's choice at first, and she shouldn't be with Daniel, but maybe as she said, love is always so unreasonable and blinded her eyes. But her kind and compassionate heart has always helped her maintain her conscience, which has also caused her and Daniel to drift apart.
I don't know why, but I always don't want Hu Tianpei to be a bad person, and I also want to call him Hu Tianpei instead of Judith Hu. He is so sad and bad. When I read about his experience after returning to China, I couldn't bear to read it. It really hurt! He finally had a reason for his madness. He obviously grew up in China like his sister. He should have compassion and conscience as well, and he still has love. He brought changes to Wolfe, but he was ultimately unable to get rid of the shackles of human race, destroying himself and others.
Having said so much nonsense, in short, I hope that baby Stefan can return to his mother's arms, and that Wolfe and Honorella can live happily.
May world peace! I hope the years will be peaceful and this world will be stable! [Crying]
"Goodbye my love."
It was hard when Daniel put on his new uniform for the last time
Reading this book drove me to death
It's cause and effect, it's retribution, it's the choice at the beginning, whether you love it or hate it, you can't choose. Daniel's character determines that he and Della, with their hands full of blood, are destined to be unable to look back. Losing everything is the curse of the wronged soul on him. He is the third soldier, and he should confront the enemy on the spot, and is coerced by group thinking, but this Everything is Daniel's own choice. He also wanted to be an ordinary person, but countless dead people in the underground stared at him and could not rest in peace. Suicide may be his last choice. I hope that his soul will go through the torture of hell and be able to be a note in the Berlin Orchestra when he comes back. Even if it is not for himself, he will also apologize for countless wronged souls.
During the war, it is too difficult to keep one's heart
I haven't found a replacement for this book yet.
I really like this kind of subject matter, but it's a pity that I just found out now why the author is so unpopular.
Why are some chapters locked? Does this book have a historical record? !
