我们的童年是幸福的,被父母宠着、惯着,我们是生活在蜜糖中的孩子。我们不曾想过在世界的另一头——非洲西部的塞拉利昂,那里的人们却生活在战争的阴影之中,那里被恐怖的死亡气氛所笼罩着,到处都是孩子、妇女、老人的哭叫声和炮弹的轰隆声。作者比亚根据对这段亲身遭遇所写...
评分This book tells stories of a boy's memory in a civil war. In this war, either side desperately seeks every opportunity to kill the other side. The important message from this book is that even an innocent person as a school child cannot stay independent. ...
评分很长时间内都刻意避免主动去看这个世界的丑陋与无奈,避谈政治民生避谈国际大事。不是别的什么原因,只是每每看到世界各处发生的悲剧,会心生惭愧。我痛恨空谈空论,要么就做些什么有裨益的,要么就干脆闭嘴。别人痛苦的时候没有给予帮助。没有阻止悲剧没有化解悲痛。作一个旁...
评分《血钻》里的Danny说,战争的鲜血染红了非洲的土地。 塞拉利昂正是这样一个盛产血钻的地方。在这场无关正义混乱的内战中,这个总人口仅为560多万的西非小国,有超过5万人丧生,还有450万人流离失所,无家可归。大量不满18岁甚至更为年幼的儿童被强征入伍,他们身背枪比人高的AK...
评分今天一整天,心情都很沉重。在一个陌生的城市出差,关注一个陌生国家的战争,感受一个陌生孩子的无助。这一切都让人有一点绝望。是,绝望。原来这个世界上有一个叫塞拉利昂的地方,1993年爆发了一次惨绝人寰的战争,而这场战争居然持续了11年! 而93年,我4岁,正...

The first-person account of a 26-year-old who fought in the war in Sierra Leone as a 12-year-old boy. 'My new friends have begun to suspect that I haven't told them the full story of my life. "Why did you leave Sierra Leone?" "Because there is a war." "You mean, you saw people running around with guns and shooting each other?" "Yes, all the time." "Cool." I smile a little. "You should tell us about it sometime." "Yes, sometime."' This is how wars are fought now: by children, hopped-up on drugs and wielding AK-47s. There are more than fifty conflicts going on worldwide and it is estimated there are some 300,000 child soldiers fighting. Ishmael Beah used to be one of them. What is war like through the eyes of a child soldier? How does one become a killer? How does one stop? Child soldiers have been profiled by journalists, and novelists have struggled to imagine their lives. But until now, there has not been a first-person account from someone who came through this hell and survived. Ishmael Beah, now twenty-five years old, tells a riveting story: how at the age of twelve in Sierra Leone, he fled attacking rebels and wandered a land rendered unrecognizable by violence.By thirteen, he'd been picked up by the government army, and Beah, at heart a gentle boy, found he was capable of truly terrible acts. This is a rare and mesmerizing account, told with real literary force and heartbreaking honesty.
