About Charlotte, the war, and their generation

At first I didn't quite understand C's initiative to have sex with the doctor.

Later, in combination with C's character, I thought that this was a ritual of devotion.

1.

The superficial devotion is to the doctor himself, to a half-old man, to dedicate his young body, and the deeper devotion is to dedicate his blood and energy to the hospital and nursing here.

She needs to give her body and mind a place to rest, free from William's passing.

When the doctor gave her the order to return to China, she said, "Am I going to abandon everyone?" and then let the approval order that so many people yearn for soaked in blood.

She has a heart of the Virgin and wants to take care and save everyone.

But the fact is that she can't even save herself, and it's good not to cause trouble to others during the war, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door.

At last the doctor told her to go, and she was still looking for the Russian nurse.

The hospital was empty, did she realize that she was abandoned by everyone?

They don't need C, but the wounded soldiers and Russian nurse Soya still lying in the field hospital do.

Surviving in the end is a fluke and fate.

Because Lilia is still alive, C's redemption has come to fruition.

2.

C himself is the apple of the family, the baby of the family. He is more loving, simple, and full of idealism.

Such people are most likely to be brainwashed by Goebbels' set of tricks, what a thousand-year-old empire can't stand.

She has romanticized visions of war, and her initial letter to Greta says war is magnificent.

She wanted to serve her country, so she joined the Red Cross as a nurse.

If it was a little boy, he might want to go to the battlefield.

When facing the Ukrainians, she was very impatient, probably influenced by the German propaganda about the superiority and inferiority of the nation.

But after all, she is a kind person, her heart has always been soft, and she has not changed from beginning to end.

3.

She thought that after she killed Lilia, she took the initiative to associate with Russian nurses, and took the initiative to learn Russian. The two people communicated and cared about the individual itself, and there was no distinction between countries and races.

This is atonement.

Such behavior has already tended towards internationalism in thinking.

Bethune originally gave up a good life and ran to China to help the Eighth Route Army, and finally died of infection.

Physicians are benevolent, be it Bethune or Nightingale.

However, the field hospitals clearly serve the soldiers of their own country, and there are differences between the enemy and the enemy.

Dr. Yang, who is a military doctor, and another nurse named Hilgard know this very well.

C wanted to help when he saw the groaning of the dead and wounded Russian soldiers.

Reasonable people know that he is an "outsider", and that the soldiers in their own country have insufficient medicine, so naturally they will not save him.

When she sees a person dying, even if the person is a so-called "enemy", it still hurts her heart.

The Russians were closing in and everyone was evacuating.

She stayed in the empty hospital, laying down on the soldier who had just finished surgery, comforting him, even if the man was about to be shot dead by the incoming Russian soldier.

She had been looking for Russian nurse Soya until the last moment when she met her, both of whom were caring for the wounded.

Two identical hearts can find each other.

The two hold each other tightly and face the unknown fate together.

Except C, no one would do such a "stupid" act, giving up the chance to escape for an enemy nurse.

4.

When I first met the head nurse, C's answers were rather ridiculous, like the "correct" answer in a textbook, but she thought it was true, and Nurse H seemed very sophisticated and mature.

The head nurse told several rules that nurses were not allowed to associate with casualty soldiers and that personal relationships with doctors were strictly prohibited.

When the doctor appeared, H was very attentive, his eyes were meaningful, as if he had a plan.

In the beginning H was the doctor's right-hand man, as C's work performance was initially very poor, erratic and emotional.

There is a picture: H came out of the operating room and saw C sitting on the stairs saying "Hey! You are here".

She sat down and hooked up the straps of her stockings.

Then, the doctor opened the door and came out.

It is possible that this shot is suggestive of sexual activity between the two people.

Nurse H's style is usually frivolous, and she likes to flirt with soldiers.

In her spare time, she has been cutting fruit to eat, and eating all the time shows that her inner desire is more abundant, which has been transformed into a desire for appetite.

Later, C had a relationship with the doctor. There was also a scene where C walked out of the room first, and then the doctor opened the door and appeared.

This scene was seen by H, and she quickly understood what it meant.

4.

When C thought William, who had been his crush for many years, died, a certain hope in his heart was shattered.

Dedicating to a doctor is devoting yourself to reality. It seems to be exile and self-defeating, but at the same time, you turn your attention to the work and career in front of you, and you have found a new life goal, and you don’t continue to degenerate.

Fortunately, William didn't die in the end, and Lilia didn't die either.

But Sawyer was shot as a traitor, and Germany was defeated as predicted.

Had C lived in East Germany, her experience as a nurse in a Russian field hospital should not have had much impact on her personal destiny.

We don't know if C and W are together in the end.

At the beginning of the story, the five people are very young, full of expectations for life, and think that everything will be as they wish.

At last:

Sensitive young literary man: arrogant, but unable to stand the suspicion of his father and others, he returned to the battlefield in a fit of anger, numb himself into a sober killing machine, and didn't care about his own life, and finally died in battle.

Young Lieutenant: He has always made it his duty to be the glory of his family. When his comrades were killed by enemy guns, he became tired of war. He followed his heart and lived in seclusion in the mountains. After passively returning to the team, he killed the inhuman captain, and his teammates. Start the escape and the way home.

Jews who were rejected as dissidents: lived in the world, survived in the cracks, escaped several calamities, survived disasters, returned to their homeland but found that their relatives and loved ones were no longer there;

Simple little girl: She used to be shy and didn't dare to say it to the person she liked, but then she kept crossing the boundaries of nationality and race, and even took the initiative to seduce her superiors. In the end, the Jewish woman she reported was rescued by a Russian female officer and became an enemy country nurses in field hospitals;

Singer chasing fame and fortune: Stepping on two boats, thinking that with the help of power to climb up and become a star, you can do anything, act recklessly, and finally die under the knife of self-righteousness and power;

The youth of five people is gone, and the war is over.

It turns out that the world is not perfect, nor can it be as one wishes.
