As a story about a German soldier who was sentenced to 25 years by the Soviet Union as a prisoner of war and went to Siberia to reform through labor, and then fled back home on foot for three years. Although it is not as good as "The Shawshank Redemption", it still touches people with the power of "real" in spirit.
1. Humiliation is the first step as punishment.
After entering the labor camp, a group of soldiers had their heads shaved, and even their armpits were shaved.
2. People can't escape as soon as they have the opportunity, so they can't escape.
The words here come from a kind doctor. He helped the male protagonist escape with the equipment again after failing to escape from prison.
At this point, the male protagonist is brave and has faith. Although he dares to escape, he is not an ordinary person, but he is not a scheming expert. He hadn't thought about how to hold on after entering the endless snow-capped snow.
At least the doctor helped him do the preliminary work and ended his own life with cancer by suicide.
3. There are good and evil in the mine of human nature, keep your kindness in the journey of life.
The touching thing is that the doctor asked the male protagonist to bring a message home to tell his wife that he died in 1950 (it was not even 50 years old) and to describe his grave to her. The doctor said: Just say I died in February. After thinking about it, I said: No. May. He described his grave with a smile on his face, his expression full of happiness like a confession. He hoped it would make his wife feel better after hearing it.
Along the way, the male protagonist met good-hearted people who took him in and gave him food and help. There is selflessness, but also use. He didn't think about hurting others, but there were always times when he had to.
A Jew helped the male protagonist in the last moments of his life, using a fake passport to give him hope of returning to his country and continuing his journey.
The Soviet officer, who was bent on catching the male protagonist, watched the male protagonist leave at the border and gave him a chance to return to China. "The one who wins in the end is me." For the Soviet officer, it was no longer important to catch the male protagonist. All he wanted was a victory, which represented his joy in winning by resourcefulness. At the last moment, everyone in the know should be moved by the male protagonist. In 3 years, he crossed Siberia by himself and walked home.
4. What is incomprehensible is the male protagonist's dewy love on the way. And at the beginning, the man who ran with the sled dog didn't catch the male protagonist.
5. Faith is everything. I still remember the scene where the male protagonist walked and walked, and finally saw a small tree rooted in the snow. This is a tree. Compared with the beauty of the aurora he encountered on the road, he had no intention to watch it. The situation where the male protagonist saw the tree was the first time he was so excited and mad. Family is his belief and he is going home for Christmas!
