My friend’s Iraqi roommate told him that he saw the first dead body at the age of 12, bullet through head and violent death. He could be messed up or broken down mentally like thousands of Iraqi people did but he chose to learn to appreciate life. During one semester’s exchange, he left Hong Kong for one week, not telling me where to go. He came back as a refugee Canadian with an Iraq inside. Being far away from that war ridden land, his story is still relevant to me. All the courage we need to carry on lies inside us.
这电影让我想起读大学的时候听到的一个故事：
来自伊拉克的室友淡定地告诉朋友，他第一次看到死人的时候是12岁，子弹爆头，暴力死亡。他本可能像千千万万伊拉克同胞一样当场崩溃，但他仍然热爱生活。来香港交换的一学期内，他说要离开一个星期。一个星期以后，他成了加拿大人，是的，难民。虽然我离那片战火纷飞的土地遥不可及，但他的故事仍然鼓励着我，我们坚定的内心有着对抗残暴生活蹂躏的所有勇气！
