The indented bone under the neck. Is that it? Let the man fall into it, walk in the desert for 3 days and 3 nights for her, ignore justice and war for her, and dedicate the most precious and painstaking map to the German army for her. As long as he can save her, he doesn't care about anything. Even though he knew that she had been sleeping in the cave, he still kept his promise, returned to her, took her away, and stood against the wind with her arms in his arms. Let her sit at the front of the plane and let them fly to heaven together.
Although he lost his face, lost his skin, and lost most of his organs, he still had a life, a life without some memory, marked as the life of an English patient. There are some things that cannot be forgotten no matter what, such as the songs he sings from time to time, such as the story of Gais's seizure of power for the queen, such as the Hungarian ballad that rings in his ears when they fall in love, such as his beloved Women, such as the notch under the spine that made him deeply intoxicated... The
body cannot fully recover, but the memory gradually wakes up in the loss of time. At last he remembered their first encounter, everything about her, and her desire to walk with him in heaven—a heaven without a map.

Anyway she stayed for her patients. So she and he depended on each other in a small castle in the desert.
The old man's prophecy is sometimes terrifyingly accurate, "The piano will make you meet your lover". Just when she thinks she's in love with Memories, just when she's playing the piano, he comes, "German bombs won't be silent because you're playing Chopin".
Everything in war is precious, especially love, perhaps for women, but for men? Comrades-in-arms and brothers are more important people to them. So he insisted on work first at all times; so he could never let go of Hardy's death; so he could only choose to leave at the end of the war. I believe that he will always remember the murals he gave to her temple and Mei Lun Meihuan, just like her.
The forgotten must be forgotten, the past must be past, the war and pain will eventually end, and life will continue...
