Is "The White Olive Tree" really worth watching?

Heroes are remembered and engraved on stone tablets; survivors are forgotten and changed beyond recognition.

——Title: Because of the sudden epidemic, I had an eight-month vacation. During these eight months, I read nearly 60 novels. However, looking back now, the most unforgettable thing for me is Another book is "The White Olive Tree". When I first read "The White Olive Tree", I thought it was just an ordinary romance novel. But when I read "The White Olive Tree" again, I couldn't let go because there seemed to be some fleshy soldiers in the book.

? The male protagonist in the book is a peacekeeper, and the female protagonist is a war reporter. They met unexpectedly on the battlefield in the Eastern Kingdom and fell in love, but in the end the war separated them forever.

? The description of the war in the book is very detailed. The part that impressed me the most was a group of children eating candies given by the heroine. The heroine, a war reporter, recorded it with her camera. Who would have thought The moment the photo was taken, a bomb appeared out of thin air in the crowd, killing all the children present. The photo was later named "Candy" and caused quite an international sensation and won the Pulitzer Prize for Photojournalism. But the heroine also suffered from depression because she witnessed the whole process with her own eyes and the crazy online violence she received afterwards. This incident reminded me of "The Hungry Sudan". Who would have thought that this photo gave photographer Kevin Carter great glory but also took away his life? How many people know that Kevin Carter went to rescue him immediately after taking the photo? What about the little girl? But those keyboard players who knew nothing and didn’t understand anything easily took away his life. Today's online violence is only increasing compared to that of the past.

? Numerous wars have broken out in the past century, including World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, the Gulf, Palestine and Israel... Perhaps as the book says, "The war made me wonder whether rationality and civilization are just illusions; whether There is no so-called reasonable solution to all human problems, only extremes, confrontation and hatred, and only resort to killing; is history always trapped in vicious cycles of reincarnation, disorder always defeats the system, and barbarism always defeats civilization. " There are still many countries where many newborn babies have to live under endless gunfire as soon as they are born. And when will these endless wars end?

? Very soon Coincidentally, I am also a journalism student, and I am also full of yearning for the journalist profession. The heroine once said, "Is journalism a profession that relies on suffering for a living? If not, why can't we prevent the war from happening? ?” Journalists, as members of the common people, cannot stop the war, but they can tell the world the truth about the war. One day, everyone will die, and everything that happened there will eventually become history, and history needs to be remembered. Maybe this is why I yearn for the journalist career!

? There is a place in the book called the city of Aara. In a battle, in order to defend this city, countless soldiers sacrificed their lives here, and their bodies were buried here. The heroine has countless sacrifices here. A black tombstone was seen among the tombstones, which read "Don't bury me too deep, brother. If someone invades my country, please wake me up and I will get up and continue fighting." War has always been the greatest tragedy in human history , sadly such tragedies happen again and again. After reading this novel, I had a very complicated mood. How can I describe it specifically? I would describe it as desperate but also lucky. Fortunately, I was born in a relatively peaceful era and live in a peace-loving country. Desperately, there are still many places in the world filled with wars, wars that cannot be stopped.

? Finally, let me end this article with a sentence from the book, which is more of an article based on my thoughts than a book review! “After seeing the deepest darkness, the most ferocious evil, and the ugliest horror, I am still glad that I have seen light, kindness, and the most beautiful soul.
