      The starry sky above your head and the moral laws in your heart.

      Human beings live by following their inner conscience.
      I don't believe that, as the curator of the German Prison Museum said, there are no secret police officers who are truly "discovered by conscience" in reality.
      I always believe that life is continued by the greatest power. As Kant said, the...

      The clean sky above us


      Author: Wang Yi
      This film gives the world a chance, especially for the Chinese. To remember and yearn, January 16, 1990. On that day, thousands of East Germans burst into the yard of the Ministry of State Security from more than 40 entrances like floodwaters. They smashed the offices responsible...

      The bloody lesson of some comrades in a party who could not withstand the bombing of the bourgeois sugar-coated shells and defected to the enemy

    The Lives of Others quotes

    • Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: An innocent prisoner will become more angry by the hour due to the injustice suffered. He will shout and rage. A guilty prisoner becomes more calm and quiet. Or he cries. He knows he's there for a reason. The best way to establish guilt or innocence is non-stop interrogation.

    • Oberstleutnant Anton Grubitz: I have to show you something: "Prison Conditions for Subversive Artists: Based on Character Profile". Pretty scientific, eh? And look at this: "Dissertation Supervisor, A. Grubitz". That's great, isn't it? I only gave him a B. They shouldn't think getting a doctorate with me is easy. But his is first-class. Did you know that there are just five types of artists? Your guy, Dreyman, is a Type 4, a "hysterical anthropocentrist." Can't bear being alone, always talking, needing friends. That type should never be brought to trial. They thrive on that. Temporary detention is the best way to deal with them. Complete isolation and no set release date. No human contact the whole time, not even with the guards. Good treatment, no harassment, no abuse, no scandals, nothing they could write about later. After 10 months, we release. Suddenly, that guy won't cause us any more trouble. Know what the best part is? Most type 4s we've processed in this way never write anything again. Or paint anything, or whatever artists do. And that without any use of force. Just like that. Kind of like a present.
