Since the first generation of Emmanuel Sonnenschein, the Sonnenschein family was forced to make a living out of the countryside and came to the city, it quickly settled in the city with the family’s unique ancestral “secret recipe” Steady heels, get rich and prosperous. On the surface, this "secret recipe" is a black book filled with various herbal formulas that can be used to brew mellow wine and "tasting the sun". In fact, it is the pursuit of free breathing and the persistence of faith. This is a family experience. The most precious gift that can still be maintained. However, what Enmanuel might not have expected is that the "secret recipe" will come to an end to his generation, because his proud two sons, whether they are the eldest son Ignatz who specializes in law, or are interested in Gustav, the second son who studied medicine to treat social illnesses, did not intend to receive the "secret recipe." Enmanuere doesn’t mind the career choices of his sons and is proud of them. He even regards Ignatz as his greatest achievement in his life, because he knows best in his heart that the family’s “secret recipe” is not what others think. In that way, it was the little black book hidden by the father who was killed by the boiler explosion, but a kind of spirit survived in his own heart, in the hearts of everyone in his family. He used to be worried and lost the secret recipe in a dream, but after waking up, he only regarded it as a nightmare. The terrible thing is that the nightmares will finally come true one by one in one's own children and grandchildren.
The wish of the old Enmanuere fell through. Ignatz soon abandoned the family’s fine traditions. Not only did he take his younger brothers and sisters to change the surname Sonnenschein to Sors, but also gave up the pursuit of free breathing. He lost his faith, betrayed his father and brother, and hurt his wife. The surname was changed only to make myself more like a Hungarian rather than a Jew, so as to avoid being excluded by anti-Semitic forces in the official career and to have more political space in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. In the later life, Ignatz sold his soul, became an accomplice of the empire, became a criminal who strangled reforms to maintain a crumbling and decadent system, and became an executioner who sent enemy prisoners to the guillotine on the battlefield of World War I. He was patriotic. name.
Finally, the old Emmanuel and the Austro-Hungarian emperor died on the same day, and the Austro-Hungarian empire, which was as old and decayed as the old emperor, also collapsed in an instant. The era of great change has come, and Ignatz, who is still a loyal servant of the empire, has been rebellious, his wives are scattered, and he has also died in his illness.
When the old Enmanuere was young, he fell in love with his cousin Sarah Bettehai, but failed to get married under the obstruction of his grandfather, because in the eyes of the Jews, marriage of blood related people is a curse. Since then, Emmanuel has not been truly happy in this life. And this kind of love between blood relatives seems to be the lingering curse of the Sonanskine family. Enmanue’s eldest son, Ignatz, is also deeply in love with his childhood sweetheart, cousin Valery, and breaks through. Obstructing the marriage, gave birth to the next generation of the Sonan Sors family: Istvan Sors and Adam Sors brothers. Fortunately, they are all healthy, not Cursed. However, Valery, who has devoted her life to recording beautiful things with the camera and who naturally knows how to breathe freely, cannot accept that her husband is reduced to a running dog of a decaying empire. When her husband is busy sending the enemy to the guillotine on the battlefield, she Resolutely liberate yourself and find new love. She is the only one who has the gift of breathing freely.
Adam Soss, like his father Ignatz, betrayed his family traditions and beliefs in order to achieve greater success in his career. Although he won the gold medal for the country at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, he unknowingly betrayed freedom and supported dictatorship, and followed the bloody fascist regime like a criminal, but he still did not change the fate of being purged as a Jew in World War II. , Was hard and stubbornly humiliated by the Nazis in a concentration camp. He would never understand until he died that a cowardly man who stripped his own Jewish bones and blood at all costs would never be accepted by the fascist regime that would wipe the Jews from the earth in the age of nationalism. In the difficult and long process of his death, more than two thousand trembling Jewish compatriots, including his own son, stood numb and indifferently, and became unrelated crowds of onlookers.
When Hungary, which had taken refuge in Nazi Germany, decided to purge the Jews, the Sonansk family still had illusions. The whole family gathered in front of the radio. They were frightened and carefully listened to the sound of the radio wave, thinking that they could serve the government because of their parents. To win glory for the country, thinking that he has cowardly renounced his Jewish identity and moved closer to the fascist regime at all costs, so that he could be given a way of life and avoid suffering. Poor, this simple and naive fluke was quickly crushed by political cunning and cruelty, and the oppressed were divided and strangled in this way.
Because of greed and cowardice, thousands of ordinary and kind people became accomplices of the devil in extraordinary times. In the end, having experienced the baptism of the socialist revolution, withstood the cruelty and torture of revenge, and the test of imprisonment, the middle-aged Ivan finally understood that the most precious wealth of the Sonanskine family is the concept of freedom. Perseverance and pursuit, any thoughts and actions that lose oneself in order to achieve worldly goals can only bring about disaster.
The frenzied political movement makes everyone naturally guilty of original sin. What seems extremely politically correct today may prove to be your downfall tomorrow, just like Ivan’s former boss, Andor K, who was tortured to death in the political struggle. Address at the funeral of General Andor Knorr: “We believe that we can build a new world that can benefit mankind. In fact, we are harming the world; while we denounce criminals, we also become criminals; we fear the truth, the truth See you and me." The
only way to find the meaning of life is to be open and honest. 150 years, for a person's life cycle, is slightly longer, for a family, it is only a few generations, and in the face of a long human history and even the universe, it is simply a drop in the ocean, and it is insignificant. In 150 years, the emperor died and the dynasty was destroyed. The Nazis were like a farce, and even communism disappeared in the dust of history. Only the spirit of the family, the pursuit of free breathing, the obsession with faith, and the world Endure.
Finally, let us revisit the indelible motto of Sonanskine's four generations, 150 years, how many blood and tears frustrated in exchange:
My dear child, you left the family that sheltered you to pursue your goals in life, to become a judge, to make laws like Moses, to uphold justice like David, to use the power of the Almighty Lord, or to be a guardian. Thousands of years later, you have entered a world. Knowledge determines your success or failure, and learning is always our Jewish rule; Jewish civilization teaches us to doubt the world and recognize the connections between different things. If you feel your own power, it is your illusion.
If you think you can surpass others because you know more, then you are wrong. Keep yourself away from vanity. Vanity is the most evil and the root of all evil, and always stick to your beliefs. Not for God, God represents all faith.
If he spends his whole life pursuing outside recognition, he will never get happiness. Faith is flawed, but it can smoothly carry you to the other side. Life is like a leaf boat floating with the waves, swaying.
If you are judging others, you must first understand: everything they do is to live a peaceful life, and they are mortals just like us. Don't judge people by appearance, avoid listening to slander, don't be credulous, everything needs to be practiced; stay away from power, despise authority, and keep a low profile.
The so-called wealth is actually worthless. Wealth cannot withstand fire and flooding, political plunder, and no pie in the sky. Unrighteous wealth makes people ugly, so we must be principled.
