Relatives and friends who stayed in Germany died one after another, and crops never grew on the dry land. The relationship between the parents is gradually estranged and on the verge of breaking. Mom kept Lisa away from the locals, saying they had germs on them and they were contagious. But in the world of children, there is no racial superiority or inferiority. What's more, there was such a cute deer to lure her, Lisa finally put aside her mother's warning and stepped over, and since then, she has become friends with African children. Under the tree, Lisa read English fairy tales aloud to them, and made the stories into a drama together. Here, Lisa is no longer an "evil" Jew, just a little girl with very pale skin.
The deer was killed by a hyena, and its belly was torn, and its flesh was blurred, symbolizing the slaughter carried out in the distant "motherland".
After the war, my father wanted to return to Germany to rebuild his career, while my mother had already integrated into the local life and was reluctant to return to the homeland that made her desperate. Lisa is reluctant to Bambu, this kind African uncle has been taking care of their lives. Every time after school, Bambu would wait at the intersection to welcome Lisa home. Those intimate hugs gave Lisa the purest comfort, bridging the gap in the girl's heart that was carved by her parents' emotional incompatibility. It's also the time of the hug, and the close-up of the gap between the feet reminds me of the emotion of the killer Leon and Matilda. And here, between Bambu and Lisa, there is not only an age, but also a racial gap.
They are all white people, why can't they kill each other? It was the blacks who accepted the Jews at the moment when they were about to suffer annihilation. After several storms, thousands of Jews perished in concentration camps, and they survived.
Where should we go? Where is our hometown. Germany, can you trust it anymore?
The long train, slowly crossing the African land, is vast and seems to have no boundaries. They finally embarked on the journey back home. Lisa's younger brother was born, and there is still hope, small, growing up, healing wounds.
It would be great if I could sit among you forever and read!
