In the article, the old woman's three sons all died in World War II, and the war left her unforgettable pain. For the innocent victims, Jews, this war is equally cruel and horrible. Movies can reproduce history and carry people's thinking about the past and the future. A Beautiful Life tells us a sad story with humorous strokes. ...
First, playing games in Nazi concentration camps.
In the Italian film A Beautiful Life, the little boy Joshua not only walked out of the Jewish concentration camp alive, but also naively thought that he was just playing games in the concentration camp. Why did he leave such an impression?
Joshua's father Guido is Jewish and his mother Dora is Italian. The three of them run a bookstore in a small town and live a happy life. However, the German fascist army broke this warmth and happiness. They forcibly took Guido and Joshua, who were of Jewish descent, and Dora, the mother, followed them to the Nazi concentration camp in order to be with her husband and son.
There, Guido and Dora do extremely heavy work every day. The cruel Germans dragged the old, the weak and the sick out and shot them, and sent the children to the gas chamber to be poisoned. Joshua is just a child who runs away because he doesn't like taking a bath.
In the Nazi concentration camp that could be shot at any time, his strong father told Joshua a white lie. He lied to Joshua that it was just a game and his mother was looking for him everywhere. As long as you don't get caught, you win a big tank by accumulating points to 1000. Joshua's pure heart was not hurt. He naively thought that all suffering was just a game.
Finally Guido was shot by the Germans, and Joshua welcomed the tanks of the British and American Coalition forces. He thought that was what his father called a reward, and he finally became a player who won the game.
Through the story of Joshua's family of three, we can see how fascism shattered people's beautiful lives and killed innocent lives. A Beautiful Life reveals the cruelty of human nature with a relaxed and humorous narrative, which makes people remember the cruelty of war and cherish a peaceful life more.
Second, the city taken over by the devil-Chernobyl
There is a beautiful city in northern Ukraine, Chernobyl, where there used to be birds and flowers, blue sky and white clouds, and lush trees. But now no one dares to live in this city except soldiers, because it has been taken over by the "devil". Some people may get sick or even die because they eat a few apples from fruit trees. What is this place!
1On April 26th, 986, the biggest and most serious nuclear accident happened in Chernobyl. Because of the operator's illegal operation, the No.4 reactor of the nuclear power plant exploded and caught fire, and all the nuclear reactors were destroyed. A large number of highly radioactive materials drifted into the air, resulting in 4,000 deaths and 3.2 million people being exposed to nuclear radiation. More than 30 years later, the air in Chernobyl is still filled with a lot of radioactive substances, and the soil, fruit trees and buildings are contaminated with a lot of radioactive dust.
After the nuclear explosion, firefighters were the first to rush to the scene for rescue. At that time, they rushed into the fire in shirts and T-shirts, and their skin was contaminated with a lot of radioactive substances because they did not take enough protective measures in advance. Afterwards, they were sent to the special radiation medicine department in Moscow for treatment. However, within ten days, they died one after another, and the doctors who took care of them fell ill and died one after another. The radiation of 400 roentgen will kill an ordinary person, not to mention that these firefighters are exposed to the radiation of 1600 roentgen.
Within 30 hours after the nuclear accident, the residents in the town were transferred away by more than 20 kilometers of 1000 buses. At that time, the government told them that they would come back soon, but in these 30 years, they never returned to their homes.
Chernobyl used to be one of the most important nuclear technology zones in the Soviet Union, which was the dream of everyone engaged in the nuclear industry, but later it became a horrible ghost town. The Chernobyl nuclear accident was a man-made disaster, which caused Belarus to lose 485 villages and towns, 70 of which were permanently buried underground, and more than 654.38 million Belarusian deaths were related to radioactive materials. After 654.38 million years, the influence of nuclear radiation on this area will be completely eliminated.
Third, understand the world through the eyes of German philosophers.
Yu said in "Boundless Passers-by" that Germany is a country full of contradictions. On the one hand, it was the initiator of two world wars. It worshipped Hitler's dictatorship and carried out a sweeping and crazy massacre of the Jewish nation. On the other hand, Germany, which has a poor humanitarian record, has made great achievements in the field of philosophy, and "spiritual peaks" such as Kant, Hegel, Feuerbach, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Marx and Engels have emerged.
What spiritual food will these "spiritual peaks" provide us? How do they view the world and human beings? Let's understand the world through the eyes of these philosophers!
You have your own way. I have my way. As for the right way, the right way and the only way, there is no such way.
-Nietzsche
Nietzsche's words are encouraging us to be ourselves. Many times we don't know what we should do, so we imitate others and follow others' footsteps, but in the end we find that others' roads are not suitable for us, so we begin to be confused again. Nietzsche tells you: Just stick to being yourself.
People finally like their own desires, not what they want!
-Nietzsche
Have the students ever heard of an idiom called "It's hard to fill one's needs"? It means that human desire is as difficult to fill as a deep valley. Nietzsche reminds us to recognize ourselves: we are lucky to be born with healthy bodies, but we also want to have decent looks, fashionable clothes, enviable jobs, lots and lots of money, and so on. We have too many desires, which are too difficult to satisfy. They are as continuous as dominoes, which makes people upset. So Nietzsche said that human beings like their own desires best, because things can be satisfied, but they can never be satisfied.
Do these philosophical quotations give you a sobering feeling? Just a few crossings, but there are many reasons behind it. If you are interested in philosophy, or you are a fan of philosophy, you can try to read the works of German philosophers, who will certainly make your views on the world and mankind more profound and original.
Fourth, German food that makes you willing to get fat.
German food is particularly practical, not only full of weight, but also meat-based. People living in Germany like to eat sausages, roast pork elbows and drink beer. High-calorie food is their favorite. If you come to Germany, I believe you will try the following foods at the risk of getting fat. Do you want to lose weight? Let's talk about it later!
Sausages of all flavors.
Germany is known as the "sausage country", with 1500 sausages of different flavors. Even if you eat 1 plant every day, it will take four years to finish it! Beef, pork, vegetables and fruits can all be made into sausages. When we eat sausages, we usually slice them, while Germans eat sausages in many different styles, such as roasting, pickling and frying. The whole sausage is strung together as bread stuffing and mashed and smeared on the bread. Sausages are often named after place names, such as Bavarian white sausages and sausages.
The local people's favorite is probably the famous snack curry sausage. Its practice is very simple, that is, the baked or fried sausage is poured with tomato juice and curry powder, which is spicy, sweet and sour and stimulates people's taste buds. After biting the casing, the rich gravy is filled between the lips and teeth, and with French fries and bread, it will definitely make people feel relaxed and happy.
Roasted pork elbow for massage.
Pig elbows can share the world with sausages in Germany. When you come to Germany, you must not miss the roast pork elbow in Munich. It's a "massage" roast pork elbow with crispy skin and tender meat. How to make pig's elbow in Munich?
First, massage the pig's elbow. Pour the beer on the pig's elbow, rub it with gentle hands, then pour the beer and sprinkle salt to let the pig's elbow "rest". During the "rest", you can continue to "massage" it to promote the absorption of beer and salt.
Then, let the pork elbow enjoy smoking and steam for 15 minutes to remove excess oil.
Finally, put the pork elbow in the oven and cook it. This Munich roast pork elbow is ready. Roasted pigskin is crispy and chewy, the meat is fat but not greasy, it melts in the mouth, and it is poured with sauce when eating, not to mention how enjoyable it is!
Black Forest Cake
If you like sweets, this dish is definitely your dish! This famous dessert invented by German women deserves the "Outstanding Contribution Award for Dessert".
The Black Forest is a scenic spot in Germany, located in Baden-Wü rttemberg. Every year when cherries are harvested, women in the Black Forest will rack their brains to develop a cherry feast, making cherries into juice and wine and adding them to the cream of cakes. If the cherries are not used up, they will mix cherry juice, cherry wine and flour to make a cake blank, and they will also fill the interlayer of the cake blank with cherries. In order to eat as many cherries as possible, they really let go of their "sucking power".
So the most authentic black forest cake refers to the cream cake made of cherry juice and cherry wine in the black forest. We usually think that the black forest cake is a cream cake sprinkled with chocolate chips, which is wrong. In order to avoid people's misunderstanding of it, the Germans specifically stipulated in the law: "The cream of black forest cake must contain black forest cherry juice." Look, even food has strict regulations, and the strict genes of the Germans really live up to their reputation!
