The story is not untouchable, but the film is really unimpressive.

Different from the traditional Chinese perspective, it seems to look at the war from the perspective of a bystander, the truth and the lie, the pedantic loyalty in the heart and the secret of keeping the so-called "truth", what you see can't be said, quitting the party is not recognized, Tragic life, great humanity, when others are doing for themselves, being able to be for others is also precious.

In any case, the Chinese should remember this German who helped hundreds of thousands of people.
