Monuments are dedicated to the real people in history, not the masks on the wall

I wanted to see this title for a long time, but it has been two years and I always miss it. Today, I accidentally saw his name again, and finally made up my mind, do it. The next 100 minutes was a time that almost made me cry.
We always have many, many ways to treat history. We always like to label history with the title of the grand view of history, and we always abuse the grand view of history time and time again. In the end, how many years does it take for a piece of history to clean up the dross, uncover the fog, and let us judge him more simply and accurately. We judged the history of the Qing Dynasty in the Republic of China, and judged the old democracy after 1949, and 49 years have passed. 60 years, but now we can't judge these 60 years, yes, maybe you will say, this "dynasty" has not passed, can't make any judgment, we are still continuing to write this history.
Is it true that you can only judge your own history when you change dynasties, and you can only judge when you can no longer hear what others say about yourself. I suddenly feel that people are really cowardly. In my opinion, we just want to beautify this history. "I'm too weak to make up for my mistakes", we are too weak to make up for our mistakes, we try to do more "deeds" in the hope that a monument will be built for us in the future.
However, just like 49 years, our history books are filled with the names of many more people, and we know many "great people" and many "big events", but these only exist in the history books, without any monuments is built for them.
The real monuments in history are dedicated only to those who are real, not masks.

    Using articles instead of meeting made me almost burst into tears! "NO! THIS IS FOR ME."

    Despotism means that some people can be masters of others.

The Lives of Others quotes

  • Georg Dreyman: The state office for statistics on Hans-Beimler street counts everything; knows everything: how many pairs of shoes I buy a year: 2.3, how many books I read a year: 3.2 and how many students graduate with perfect marks: 6,347. But there's one statistic that isn't collected there, perhaps because such numbers cause even paper-pushers pain: and that is the suicide rate.

  • Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: Madam?

    Christa-Maria Sieland: Go away. I want to be alone.

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: Madam Sieland?

    Christa-Maria Sieland: Do we know each other?

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: You don't know me, but I know you. Many people love you for who you are.

    Christa-Maria Sieland: Actors are never "who they are."

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: You are. I've seen you on stage. You were more who you are than you are now.

    Christa-Maria Sieland: So you know what I'm like.

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: I'm your audience.

    Christa-Maria Sieland: I have to go.

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: Where to?

    Christa-Maria Sieland: I'm meeting an old classmate. I...

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: You see? Just now, you weren't being yourself.

    Christa-Maria Sieland: No?

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: No.

    Christa-Maria Sieland: So you know her well, this Christa-Maria Sieland. What do you think - would she hurt someone who loves her above all else? Would she sell herself for art?

    Hauptmann Gerd Wiesler: For art? You already have art. That'd be a bad deal. You are a great artist. Don't you know that?

    Christa-Maria Sieland: And you are a good man.
