"Diary of a Bad Boy"

In a city occupied by foreign troops, due to food shortages, people's life is difficult. A young woman had to take her twin sons to seek refuge with her mother who lived in the countryside. This "grandmother" is not only illiterate, dirty, stingy, vicious, and even a murderer. The two brothers grew up in a difficult environment. In order to make themselves stronger, the two practiced their survival skills by beating and scolding each other, going on hunger strikes and other methods every day. They carefully recorded the events of each day in a large notebook. As the diary was opened page by page, a cruel nightmare fable gradually appeared.

"Two Evidence"

The twins separated. One of them crossed the border into another country, while the other stayed behind. The one who stayed was called Lucas. Since then, he has lived alone. He is dedicated to helping those less fortunate around him. He took in Yasmina and his illegitimate son Mathias; he would bring food to the priest's house in the town every meal; he tried to comfort Clara who was hanged because her husband was convicted of collaborating with the enemy; What a writer's dream for a long time... However, under the background of war, behind these things, it directly points to the original primitive nature of human beings. And the other twin brother, Klaus, brought a sharp turn for the whole narrative, almost overturning the original structure.

"The Third Lie"

After fifty years of separation, the twin brothers finally meet. Looking forward to it for many years, the distance between them has not been shortened by the passage of time. In the narration of "Lucas" and "Klaus", the truth of that period of childhood is gradually revealed. What happened to them during the years of separation? From the entanglement in "Diary of a Bad Boy" to "Evidence for Two", to "The Third Lie", the truth finally came out.

Describe the sick world through the innocent words of children, but you can also read the opportunity of redemption in the cruel and harsh plot. The protagonist in the story turned a blind eye to the hellish scene in front of him, but faced it with fearless courage.
