The story is gradually unfolded through the memories of "my father" and "I" helping "my father", and the image of "my father" is also more interesting, not only describing obscenity, short and small and with an orangutan face, with a flat mouth, and "my father" does not seek progress, "only to survive" on the battlefield. Such an honest and timid person finally killed the red eye before the tragic humanity of the Japanese devils.
