——————————————— -The
place name Mostaganem is mentioned in the film, which is translated as Mustaganem in Chinese, which is a place in Algeria.
Algeria was once a French colony.
Since the 17th century, the coast was part of the Ottoman Empire. Since 1830, France used a diplomatic incident as a reason for war to invade and occupy the coast of Algeria. Governor Hussein was exiled, and the French colony gradually penetrated south. It wasn't until the invasion began to have a profound impact on the area and residents, but due to stubborn resistance, France did not basically complete its occupation of Algeria until 1905.
During World War II, Algeria supported the Allies and supported the armed fighting of Free France. After the victory of the Allied Powers ended in 1945, the French government under the leadership of Charles de Gaulle began to suppress the protest movement that demanded Algeria's independence. The subsequent massacre became a turning point in Algeria's history.
In 1954, the National Liberation Front launched a guerrilla war for the independence of Algeria. After nearly a decade of struggle, Algeria became independent in 1962. http://baike.baidu.com/view/10991.htm

The Quranic verses recited during the dialogue between Christian and Fayattia:
……and you will find the nearest in love to the Believers (Muslims) those who say: "We are Christians." That is because amongst them are priests (Men devoted to learning) and monks (men who have renounced the world), and because they do not behave proudly. (Holy Qur'an 5:82) http://www .islamicweb.com/bible/main.htm
Chinese translation
82....... You must find that the closest to believers are those who profess to be Christians; because there are many priests and monks among them, and because they are not arrogant.
