Brief introduction to the story of beautiful life

abstract

Guido, a young Jew, and his friends drove to arezzo Town to open a bookstore and met Dora, a beautiful female teacher. These two people have a lot to think about, and everything will be fine. The good times didn't last long. Guido and his son were forced to be sent to concentration camps because of their Jewish ancestry. Although Dora is not of Jewish descent, in order to be with her son and husband, she resolutely walked together, and her former colleagues were held in a concentration camp alone. Guido doesn't want to cast a tragic shadow on the child's young mind. In the inhuman concentration camp, he lied to his son that it was just a game. He kept his son's childlike innocence from being hurt by playing games, but he died tragically at the muzzle of the Nazis.

explain

1939, the shadow of World War II enveloped the whole of Italy.

Guido is a young Jew. He looks clumsy in appearance, but he is kind, honest and optimistic in heart. He is full of beautiful yearning for life. He and his good friend Fei Lucho drove an old car from the countryside to the small town of arezzo. His wish is to open his own bookstore in the town and live a comfortable life without competition. Passing a barn tower, Dora, a beautiful young girl, suddenly fell into his arms. There is a yellow honeycomb on the tower, and wasps often harass local residents. Dora tried to kill the people and burned the hornet's nest, but she was stung by a wasp. Guido immediately took a fancy to her and enthusiastically treated her wounds. To show gratitude, Dora sent Guido some eggs and watched him leave meaningfully.

In overcast Italy, the reactionary forces of Nazi became more and more powerful, Mussolini pursued a tough policy of racial discrimination, and Guido's application for opening a bookstore was repeatedly blocked and rejected. The job my good friend paid for is long gone. Due to the pressure of life, Guido had to work as a waiter in a restaurant. He won the favor of customers with sincere, simple, warm and thoughtful service attitude.

Guido accidentally knocked down Dora when riding to work, and the two met again, igniting the flame of love in Guido's heart. He lost no time in expressing his love for Dora.

Dora is a teacher in a school. One day, an inspector from Rome was going to inspect the school. When Guido learned about it, he pretended to be a superintendent and came to inspect Dora's school. The headmaster received him warmly. In order to please Dora and attract her attention, Guido simply jumped on the platform to show his talent as a comedian, which made the students laugh and stunned the principal and teachers.

Guido learned that Dora and her boyfriend Rudolph were going to the theater to see the opera, and he also bought tickets. Guido, who sits downstairs, always stares at Dora in the upstairs box. At first Dora didn't care about Guido's hard pursuit, but because Dora hated Rudolph, she often stayed with Guido. Rudolph was wishful thinking about the engagement party between Concord and Dora. The party happened to be arranged in Guido's hotel. Guido skillfully freed Dora from Rudolph's entanglement, thus winning her heart. Dora fell out with her parents, ran away from home and married Guido.

After the marriage, good things followed, Guido's dream bookstore opened, and they had a lovely son Joshua. Guido often plays games with his son when he is free, and the family lives happily. A few years later, on Joshua's fifth birthday, the Nazis captured Guido and Joshua and forcibly sent them to a Jewish concentration camp. When Dora and Joshua's grandmother came home excitedly, only to find that the building was empty and the house was turned upside down, Dora understood what was happening in front of her. Although she has no Jewish blood, she insists on going to the concentration camp with her son. Dora was imprisoned in a women's prison, and Guido didn't want to cast a tragic shadow on his son's young mind. In the inhuman concentration camp, Guido tried his best to get in touch with his wife in the women's prison and report to Dora that he was safe. At the same time, he wants to protect and take care of young Joshua. He tricked his son into playing a game, and those who abide by the rules of the game can finally get a real tank to go home. The naive and curious son believed Guido's words. How much he wants a tank car! Joshua endured hunger, fear, loneliness and all the bad environment. Guido keeps his son's childlike innocence from being hurt by the game.

When liberation came, one night, the Nazis were preparing to escape. Guido hid his son in an iron cabinet and urged Wan to tell Joshua not to come out. He planned to beat his wife Dora in a women's prison, but the Nazis found out. When the Nazis escorted Guido through Joshua's iron cabinet, he walked optimistically and strode, implying that his son would not come out, but soon he heard a cry.

At dawn, Joshua climbed out of the iron cabinet and stood in the yard. Just then, a real tank car rumbled past in front of him, and an American got off the car and carried him onto the tank.
