Dedicated to a stranger who loves me

Man proposes, God disposes.

The film "I Am David" based on the world's classic children's inspirational novel "Send a Letter to Copenhagen"

Reinterpret this classic Chinese idiom.

There is no foolproof strategy, only a sudden and brave heart.

The success is in heaven, heaven does not help others, heaven is only responsible for watching, to see if there are strangers on earth who are willing to love you.

David, a 12-year-old boy, was able to escape the concentration camp, traveled thousands of miles across 4 countries, and found his 10-year-lost mother.

The person who designed the escape route for him was a stranger.

This stranger, neither in the original novel nor in the movie, has a name.

He suddenly became brave,

He pitied the child, who had not yet tasted freedom and was about to die.

He, very irresponsibly, pointed a way to the north,

Tell David: Northern Freedom.

12-year-old boy David dared to escape from prison.

Courage comes from the death of another stranger.

He was shot in the head for a bar of soap.

The cellmate named John died for him voluntarily.

David doesn't understand why?

I thought, maybe, this is God's will.

Then, to the north, to freedom, run.

12-year-old boy David finally met his mother,

the moment we meet again,

He still dared not call: Mom.

He was afraid that all of this was a good lie.

He only dared to say softly: I am David.

Waiting for the arbitration of fate.

Man proposes, God disposes.

A Danish novel that exposes the US-Soviet confrontation, the global Cold War, and political horror,

In China, it has become a juvenile version of "Send the Letter to Garcia".

Inspirational for children.

I Am David quotes

  • David: I wish I were dead!

    Johannes: Don't say that. Don't even think it.

    David: Why not? There's nothing good here! What's the point of even staying alive?

    Johannes: Because if you're alive you can change things. If you're dead you can't. Do whatever you can to stay alive, no matter what! Go.

  • [first lines]

    Title Card: In the years after World War II, many people in Eastern Europe were sent to forced labor camps for disagreeing with their new governments. Because of this, families were torn apart. Life in these camps was very harsh, and escape was not an option. And yet, for one boy named David, it was his only hope...

    The Man: Are you listening to me? You must escape from here tonight. It's your only chance to stay alive. If you follow my instructions and make it out of the camp. Travel when it's dark to free Bulgaria so you won't be seen. They'll be everywhere waiting to arrest you. And unless you're very careful, you'll be caught. If you make it across the border, you must get the envelope to Denmark. First, head south to Selonika, and hide in a ship that's going to Italy. When you arrive there, travel north as far as you can. Your journey will be long and it may be impossible, but you must get this envelope to the authorities in Denmark. You must not open it. If anyone sees its contents before you get there you'll end up back here. Do you understand?

    The Man: I know you've lived in this camp your entire life, but there is a world outside it. However, it's a very dangerous world. Trust no one.
