The June Boat Song of East Berlin

The Cold War, the shadow after World War II, a war without gunpowder, is the moment when mankind is closest to extinction. Under the Iron Curtain, there is a cruel sadness, cold and absurd. At first, I was attracted by the strong historical atmosphere of the book's title. I am also very interested in the history of the Cold War and World War II, and I finished reading it in three days. . . (I watched it carefully and couldn't stop reading it, and I will definitely read it a second time!) The heavy sense of history it contained almost kept me awake at night (not in a derogatory sense). I like almost every character in the book. Everyone is so vivid, so sad, so helpless, and so brave. Regarding sadness, this was the background of that era. The author has many deliberate or unconscious hints in the book. For example, I started to have a premonition when I found the photos of Randall and Julian in the Rhine. I carefully eliminated suspicious people. When I was lying in bed at night, I suddenly thought, it can't be Sasha! This suspicion and speculation happened more than once. When I saw the scene in the book describing the meeting between Sasha and Rhine in the clinic, my gut clicked. Because the picture is so beautiful, it was so beautiful that it was unreal at that time. There is a sentence in the article, "Everything seems so peaceful and too beautiful to be true." Such a situation is beyond common sense, and anything that goes beyond the common sense of the times will generally either subvert the times or lead to destruction. Later, it was discovered that this was just a link in the conspiracy. From Rhine's perspective, a conspiracy became so beautiful and full of absurdity. Including Allen, Allen's words and deeds in the first part are very similar to those of a young man who was traumatized and empty after the war, but at some times he unconsciously showed sadness and envy. He once said to Rhine, at least you are free. Sasha and Allen seem to be people living in the painting. Allen takes the initiative to enter the painting for Sasha, and is not on the same layer as the era. The blue fireworks fill the era and will eventually burn the frame. The first feeling is that it is very similar and somewhat accurate (I began to distrust any character in the middle of reading, so any clues made me suspicious). Therefore, for some characters in the book, it is inevitable that they will die. It seems that the ending is destined from the moment they appear. I had a strong feeling when I saw Sasha. From the beginning of the story, I looked at the end where you will definitely die (crying to death). In fact, it's not just Sasha, Rhine, Julian, and even scientist Randall, etc. The story started in 1944 and ended in 1991 and 2005. What we saw was almost the life of specific characters in a specific era. It was so painful and heavy that it was really difficult to catch it. Speaking of Sasha, he is my favorite character. Those who play with everything, and even those who want to play with the times, suffer backlash. I don't know whether this is an accidental "misfortune" or an inevitable "fate." . . During the time when he and Rhine were in Dresden, I watched him bathing in the sunset and a picture suddenly came into my mind. I felt that nothing in the world could keep him, and that like fog, it would dissipate and disappear at any time. No matter how hard Rhine grabbed him and kissed him, he had already left, as if he was just a ghost working together in the clinic. He is very kind, and he has seen so much hidden evil, evil catalyzed by specific circumstances. Julian is right to say that he is too kind. Even the method of killing is chosen neatly. You can see it by comparing his method with Julian's method of killing for the first time. Facing the times, Sasha is extremely brave, with a determination to "do it even though you know you can't do it." He had foreseen his end a long time ago. When he and Rhine came to Dresden for the first time, he told him to come here if he couldn't find him. He even tried to direct his own destruction. This is an almost absurd and tragic protest against the inexplicable world-class confrontation and the terror of power. However, he was so small and confused, and his fate was so cruel, so he finally crushed himself indirectly, but found the self he had abandoned long ago. Therefore, no matter how cruel and sad the ending is, it is always accompanied by hope like Pandora's box. There are some similar brilliance of goodness and beauty in human nature in the book that will always shine, just like the reunion of Rhine and Julian at the end. When I first saw Julian, the image that came to my mind was the image of Prince Andrei Bolkonsky in "War and Peace". Later I discovered that these are completely two characters, perhaps only the figure (?) Is the closest. Some people are afraid of him, and some people despise his Cheka background, but these are not his own choices. Even coming to the Gulag, including leaving with Beria, is a helpless move. He has to protect Sasha out of guilt. The two people owe each other, rely on, feel guilty and support each other. If it weren't for Rhine's appearance, then this would never be solved. However, whether by coincidence or destiny, Rhine came to them for various reasons, but he would not have been dragged into the dark vortex of power (I really feel sorry for Rhine). Growing up in such a similar environment, it's really hard for Sasha not to love the person Julian loves. Therefore, it is said that the gears of fate continue to rotate, and guilt continues to flow between the three people. Never underestimate its coincidence and its power. . . I have always felt that there has always been a contrasting relationship in friendship between Julian and Sasha, and between Rhine and Allen. I don't know if it was the author's intention or if I over-interpreted it. Although I can't say what kind of emotions Julian and Sasha are. Julian gave birth to the armor of "turning a blind eye", and Rhine was not the same when facing Allen. When Milk took him back, he couldn't even remember what he had done, and buried the wiretapping line. It was even weird that the two of them promised to "always be friends" many times. So all the abnormalities were subverted, Rhine killed Allen without knowing it, and Julian killed Sasha. However, Rhine can be said to be the most special character in the book (of course, how can he be the protagonist if he is not special). From the first-person perspective, most of the people, environment, and atmosphere that Rhine sees are beautiful. He who was originally so pure and stupid, after experiencing all kinds of things, when he saw the sunset, the river, and the scenery of the world, he never had resentment or hatred, he always looked and listened with sincere eyes. He always sees beauty and sees hope sincerely and from the heart. This may be one of the reasons why so many people like him. . . But when the truth is revealed, it will bring double the pain, so that Rhine fell into psychological problems several times. So many beautiful appearances turned out to be just pure conspiracy. As the story goes on, the logic gradually forms a closed loop, Sasha plays with everything but gradually falls, Julian is finally able to say "I love you", Rhine's sincerity is fatal but finally receives countless help from friends, as the story gradually comes to an end, the more you can feel that under the Iron Curtain, everyone is in danger, but in this era, everyone is equal. All people, from the top to the bottom in the Soviet Union and the West, are all dolls and chess pieces of the times. When Rhine and Richard reunited, their former rivals turned into "brothers", and whether they were hostile or not became meaningless in an instant. As Rhine walked the streets of America, he thought that there was no significant difference between people. What was the meaning of these life-and-death confrontations? The appearance of history at that moment was embodied in everyone, even the readers in front of the screen. Everything is so absurd, so sad, so helpless, yet so brave, so determined, so heroic. In the end, I also understood what Julian said, "The causes and processes of some things are not important, and what matters more is the results." Later, Rhine also recognized this view. We all hope for a good beginning, a beautiful process, and a happy result. My understanding of the true meaning of this sentence is that in such a specific twisted environment, whether it is a senior officer or an agent, the process of almost anything is full of fraud, violence, and in short, extremely cruel and difficult to human nature. Even in this way, sometimes even so, the desired results cannot be achieved, and may even be lost at any time. Therefore, in that era and background, do not care about the terrible process and tragic memories, just focus on the results and cherish them. Then there is the more popular "changing the ending of a story". In this story, I couldn't find the time or action to change it. All trajectories and actions seem to have been destined to take shape long ago, and even if they are changed, it will be difficult to affect the final outcome (some events can also be changed. I want Rhine to suffer less). I racked my brains with the protagonist across the screen but sadly found that I couldn't save anyone, so I could deeply understand Rhine's despair, Julian's despair, Sasha's despair, and everyone's despair. It seems that everyone is doing the wrong thing, constantly making decisions that are bad for everyone, but looking back it seems that no one had a better choice, which is really interesting and deeply sad. . . In the end, a June Barcarolle accompanied the lives of Rhine and Julian. The poems and melodies brought strength and sadness to the characters in the book, and perhaps also accompanied real people in history. The lives of countless people have come to an end, and the tail notes of June's barcarolle still echo. There is a special feeling after reading this book in winter. Although a severe winter is cold and long, with no visible edges, beautiful and warm things can shine brighter in it. Everything will pass. Comments are based on what comes to mind, sorry for the lack of logic. . . I read it next door. I heard that the author had withdrawn from the series, but I still wanted to post a long review. I am really happy to encounter such a profound work 😍. This is a book review that I have just finished. I have to wait for a while, because now, it seems that as long as I open my mouth, tears will come before the sound.

Your mother and I will never read abuse stories again in this life. . . . . . . . . . . . I guessed that Allen was a Western spy and would die, but I didn't expect that he would be killed by Rhine himself. I knew Sasha was going to die because I watched Demining But I never expected that Sonia would die in front of Rhine and Julian, and exchanged her life for the two of them not seeing each other for thirty years (but at least they were still alive and in love...) Sonia's death made me burst into tears. . I fear aging more than death. When two people meet again with gray hair, how to warm each other's broken heart with their bodies, and how to lick each other's bitter tears with inflexible lips and tongues. The two have been together for ten years, separated for thirty years, and grown old together in the last ten years. But I feel that it is still not enough to make up for thirty years of heartbreaking miss, not to mention that Julian may have forgotten every bit of the past. Oh my god, this book has cured my 3p problem (maybe I will still get it in the future), but in this book, I really hope that both Rhine and Sasha Yulian can be together. It's very good to watch but I don't dare to watch it again. May the world never have wars, wars of all kinds. In the face of war, what is broken is the human heart and love. (The author writes well but I hate you wwwww)

This article is the type I rarely see I have read the author's other World War II article - "Funi Island 1940" Although the book "Barcarolle" is written by He, the pain they experienced was more than that by Be. Thirty years, a whole thirty years They have been separated for too long From a very handsome soldier to two little old men The ending made me cry like a fool in the morning As soon as the barcarolle started playing, my tears flowed down unsatisfactorily. At this moment, I seem to be connected with Rhine Sad, sad, helpless, happy, hopeful Various emotions are mixed and intertwined I feel Rhine's emotions at this moment, but I can't even feel the hardships of these thirty years. I have never heard of a man waiting for his lover for thirty years. This is also why I read novels It makes me feel emotions and things that I have never and probably never will experience Because of the perspective, we can only see Rhine's pain in more detail But where did Julian come from? Is it not like this? If I had known earlier, it would have been Long Li'an who regarded the other party as the driving force for his survival. The moment the wall was built How desperate he must be, it was the man who built the wall that had blocked them for thirty years with his own hands. When he knew that Rhine was being hunted, he tried to help Rhine reduce the number of people chasing him. How desperate he must be. As an excellent general, he cannot protect his beloved. While under house arrest, all information about Rhine was lost. How desperate he must be, afraid that they will be separated from each other from now on Did he, like Rhine, attempt suicide? But at the last moment, he survived with strength Because I can't let go In this era that belongs to them They are each other's only belief Lain dressed up carefully when we met again I guess Julian was dressed up too. He won't let Rhine see his downtrodden side A heavy snowfall in front of the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall and the long-lost June Barcarolle They finally meet again Sleep forever in the birch forest on the other side of Suzdal They will always be vivid in my memory Always wandering on the other side of happiness

I'm already at level 6. I regret not meeting the teacher earlier. I only knew him for a few months before he quit the circle. Hey, reading Barcarolle now is more of a sad feeling. Only teacher Mei Dai's book is top in my heart, and every one of them is 😭

I finished watching it and checked the time. I started watching it at 8:49 pm the day before yesterday and finished it at around 11 pm today. I didn't finish watching it all the way. I remember it so clearly because I was crying to my friends from the beginning until I finished watching it. Because I watched it next door, I couldn't comment. I had three people crying one after another, and I often cried while watching it. ... I cut out a few stories that I think are somewhat meaningful. "Look what I'm looking at. Four named characters died in Chapter 5! Including Sergey, that's an average of one death per chapter. It's so uncomfortable, but this is the battlefield." (I kept talking about Rhine, his innocence, and his charm) "I have never thought that an incident that looks like a joke in the information can have so much pain and separation behind it. Although it may be just made up by the author, how many people have lost their lives because of this secret? In real history, what kind of things did this incident cause? History is never a joke." "Reality is always so cruel" "A person can indeed fall in love with many people. This article has indeed changed my mind. Love is really a very great thing. Experience and emotion all affect love to some extent. Now I suddenly feel that love is always thought of as simple on the Internet, but love is the part that makes up a person. It can't be that simple. These comments are quite right. The love in this article is a philosophical love. It hurts the heart and heart, but it also emits sweetness from the bitter taste." [It turns out it's not just me. How could they ever decide their own destiny? Politics, war, confrontation, competition... Tragedies are constantly being staged in this era, and how many people's lives have been destroyed in this way. They will live in the pain of not being able to be themselves all their lives, and they can only grit their teeth and go on facing the cruel fate. (Original text) "Ah, ah, that's true... But that's what attracts me. They live in this era, and they can still grit their teeth and live. This kind of strength, whether it is frivolous or not, I am attracted to it." "Rhine has let go... Ah, people can't live in the past and pain. This is what makes this innocent child strong." (PS: When Huangmao Donald appeared, I sent a screenshot to my friend, and she said it reminded her of □□, emmm... I can only say that fortunately □□ is a handsome guy, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back) "It is a long-lasting emotion. Not all of them are so passionate, but they are all so deep, heavy, and weighing on my heart." [It turns out that war can destroy everything, whether it is tangible or intangible. (Original text, I like this sentence) "What a heavy and complicated emotion, how real, how cruel, how bitter, yet sweet and dripping with honey." "Oh, Teacher Mei Dai can always bring me back to the whole world from East Berlin. A good article is really the whole world. The world is the whole world." "There was not so much perfection in that era. Rhine was losing everything throughout his life. The Barcarolle describes the cruel reality." "All the characters are so real, they all have their own difficulties, and they are all crumbling under the storm of the times," This article gave me very complicated feelings, but they definitely don't include regrets. Among the many articles I've read online, this is the one that surprised me the most.

He is remembered as alexander not Kopacsky The sorrow that enveloped his life Dispelled by the sun after his death From then on remain in people's hearts Only the nickname Sasha and Dr. Alexander.

It's a great story. I'm so lucky to read him and accompany me through my first winter vacation in a foreign land. I would like to thank the author. I didn't write a more detailed review because of laziness, but many times I feel that my childish comments are not worthy of such a good article.

I'll go, it's a good look. A rather unpopular novel.

I actually saw the Barcarolle being played. It had been locked before. Really, seeing me on the Jinjiang River started to feel uncomfortable again?

Although there are only two short chapters and more than 7,000 words, I can imagine how difficult it is for them. A full sixteen years they have been separated for too long Julian persisted alone in the political whirlpool for sixteen years Rhine was hunted for sixteen years From the prime of life to the birth of gray hair They finally waited for German reunification They can finally be an ordinary young couple again Soak up the sunshine in Berlin Enjoy the snow in Siberia together
