Speaking of the two old men in "The Legend of the Galactic Heroes", among the two old men who are known and respected by Yang Willy, Colonel Canfi shera is indeed a complex one. It was his anonymous letter to the Confederate government that sparked speculation within the government, which led to an investigation into the death of the former hero Marshal Ashupy. In order to take care of Yang Willy's dream of historical research, Kajren threw this matter to him, thus revealing a secret intelligence network that had been sealed for decades, spanning the Allies and the Galactic Empire, and the secret of the "730 Party" that had won every battle.
But who would have thought that this dusty past was provoked by an Imperial prisoner of war who was imprisoned in the planetary shelter on the edge of the Allied Powers, and he used his years of research data and reasonable inference to form a bold idea, thus throwing out bait and waiting for Yang Willy to be hooked. He was Colonel Canfishira, who was captured at the famous Second Battle of Yamat, which cost the Galactic Empire dearly, killing not only more than sixty senior generals, but also heavy casualties among armaments and soldiers. So far, the Galactic Empire has not been able to launch an effective war offensive for more than a decade.
With countless comrades who were captured with Canfihilla, he was not a very conspicuous general, and he was engaged in civilian work in the army- intelligence analysis, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he was one of the many small people who were killed in the war between the two countries. He did not change history, nor was he a general with great achievements, and his name will not be recorded in the history books. He spent most of his life as a prisoner of war in a remote shelter for his enemy, the Allies.
Unlike his other comrades-in-arms, Canfisilla did not aspire to return home. Most of his comrades-in-arms either died in the regret of missing their relatives, or desperately tried to find a way to return to China as prisoners of war in exchange, and he only silently collected the relics for his deceased comrades to deal with the aftermath, or reported to their relatives for them.
During his more than four decades in prison, he had many opportunities to return home, but he refused them all. The reason was his wife's betrayal of his marriage and the persecution of the other side's aristocratic forces. The wife, who had been married for a year, chose the second son of a count and left him. In order to make him agree to the divorce, the earl's family was soft and hard, and after the money temptation failed, they used their aristocratic status to pressure him to go to the Border Domain Star Domain, which can be said to be exiled and had no political future. In a fit of rage, he joined the army, intending to die in battle for a hundred years. This love wound hit him for life, and it also became a turning point in his life, but his stubborn personality also delayed him, and he kept gritting his teeth and refusing to let go, even desperately trying to live, just to gamble, as long as he lived, his wife could not justifiably remarry, and the children born to his wife and mistress were illegitimate children without status. For this reason alone, he refused to return to China, lived a life of no quarrel in the asylum, and has been mixed up as the "boss" of the internment inmates.
At the same time, he devoted himself to the study of the history of war, sorted out a lot of valuable information, dug up intelligence, and then discovered the reasons for the great defeat of the Imperial Yamat, a dusty history that was clearly sorted out by war criminals on such a marginal planet. Later, the notes brought to the Allies by Yang Willy were archived by the government as confidential documents, and it was not allowed to be published until 25 years later. Many times, some obscure little people have created many miracles, and their contributions are not known to the public. And they spend their lives silently in the way they choose.
Later, because of the assistance of Colonel Canfishira, he stopped the riot in the captive shelter, saved Yang Willy and others, and exposed the evidence of corruption by the director of the shelter, and finally was acquitted by the Confederate government, and granted the status of a citizen of the Allied Countries, enjoying the benefits of retired colonel's allowance, so that the preferential treatment could also be regarded as a stable old age.
Sitting at the airport waiting to leave, Canficiela has mixed feelings, leaving the shelter where she has been staying for more than forty years, as an imperial nobleman who became a prisoner of war and finally became a citizen of the Allied Countries, some countries do not want to return, some families do not want to return, this obscure life, is it worth it or not? The New Year's bell rings, everyone is celebrating, he finishes drinking the beer in his hand, nostalgic for the beer of the Empire, and finally falls asleep in a slight drunkenness, and dies of a heart attack in his sleep. At this point, Canfisilla's life ended, ending on the first day of his freedom after more than forty years of captivity.
In the long river of history, how many such small people, in the cruel operation of the wheel of history, how many innocent people have been involved in it. They are either capable but have no chance to emerge, or they are mediocre, and The goddess of luck has not cared for them. They died silently with a lifetime of regret or a lifetime of obsession, and their contributions were never known.
Canfi sheila's tombstone is a sentence that Yang Willy arranged to engrave: he has saved many lives in his life. In order to show respect, he arranged for people to carve in the imperial Chinese, which is a summary of the life of this obscure old man.
