One Eddie was the first person he met in heaven
He was the Blue-Skinned Man, and the Blue-Skinned Man told Eddie: You meet five people in heaven, and each of us has a reason for appearing in your life, which you may not have known at the time, and that is the meaning of the existence of Heaven, for people to understand their life on Earth.
The Blue-Skinned Man recounts that the cause of his death was due to an unintentional pick-up of a ball when Eddie was a child, which led to the death of the Blue-Skinned Man who was driving in a car accident.
The Blue-Skinned Man talked a lot with Eddie, and finally said: I am leaving, I have crossed this heavy realm of heaven, and you have others to see.

They used to serve together in the military. He was a captain and Eddie's commander, and they fought side by side in the Philippines, where after breaking up, Eddie never saw him again. He heard he had died in battle.
The two recalled that during the war, they were captured, tortured, and eventually escaped from captivity, where Eddie was wounded and the captain stepped on a mine during his drive away, which was blown into the sky twenty feet high and torn to pieces.
Eddie asked the captain, "Why here?" You can pick anywhere to wait for me, right? That's what the Blue Skin Man said. So, why here? ”
The captain smiled. "Because I died in battle, I died on this mountain. When I left, I knew nothing about that world except war--- war discussions, war plans, war families. ”
"I want to see what a world without war looks like, the world before people start killing each other."
The captain was gone.
