The gift of breathing freely.

When the great-grandfather acquiesced to the marriage of the same blood, the tragedy began. It is not because of the so-called punishment of religion, but the kind of meaningless obsession that is passed on from generation to generation.
The grandfather died in depression with the faith of allegiance to the emperor. His father died of torture for his partisan beliefs. He finally possessed the same title as his grandparents-Colonel, but fell again because of his unwillingness to obliterate his sense of justice. No one can compete with the changes of the times. Wrong and right are just the changing rules of the game. Justice or evil may not be as distinct as imagined.
The grandfather was not wrong, neither was the father, and even he was right. They are a drop in the turbulent world, fighting for their beliefs, like a gamble, some people win, they lose. Failure has a price, usually death, and sometimes imprisonment. The most successful imprisonment for a person is not to restrict freedom, but to bind his heart forever. Therefore, at some point, attachment is equivalent to punishment. It imprisons a person's life in an iron frame.
Although the grandmother witnessed the destruction of her husband, son, lover, and a family, she must agree that she lived happily and left the world peacefully. She is not a man and cannot go to battle to kill the enemy; she does not believe in religion and does not have to chant and pray; she does not understand revolution and does not raise her arms. She was the weakest person in the whole family, but she supported her to the end with a tough and eager heart.
Life is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of eyes to discover beauty. In the turbulent years, her heart drifts left and right with light and shadow, and she lives as a kind of belief, not afraid of changes, and fearless of twists and turns. In her world, every day is new. Yes, every ray of sunshine has extraordinary meaning. "Person in prison does not mean being a prisoner. Outside the prison, it may not be unconstrained." If there is someone who can smile calmly after a sad parting, it must be her; if there is someone who can be open-minded and tolerant in the chaos and disorder, then It must be her, because, She is the only one who has the gift of breathing freely.
Have faith, but don't need to be too persistent. As the sun rises and sunsets, life will always continue. One day, everyone will return to peace. The glitz and chaos of the past will all be turned into clouds and smoke.

Sunshine quotes

  • Ivan Sors: For the first time in my life, I walked down the street without feeling like I was in hiding. My great grandfather Emmanuel must have been the last Sonnenschein to feel like this. I knew the only way to find meaning in my life, my only chance in life, would be to account for it. My grandmother's words return to me; "Try to photograph what's beautiful in life." By the time I finish this story, the third tragic misadventure of the 20th century was over. After the monarchy and fascist rule, the communist regime also went up in smoke. I remembered the recipe book that we had lost and suddenly realized that the family secret was not to be found on its pages. It was preserved by my grandmother. The only one in our family who had the gift of breathing freely.

  • Valerie Sors: My darling, you are not in prison. They are.
