Traveling is not a list of must-see attractions, but a blank diary to record the memories which remind us that learning is a lifelong journey. These memoirs are meant to open a window to reveal the everyday details that encapsulate the souls of the cities that I have visited.

Just as certain cities appear to be frozen in time, others seem to have shed their past as quickly as possible, eager to shape a new identity. Berlin is one such city.

德国，一个孕育出了“命运交响曲”的国度，经历了太多历史的风风雨雨，沧海桑田。走进柏林，进入德意志的中心，亲历这座一言难尽的城市：高尚而残酷，强硬而懦弱，狂热而克制。纳粹的罪状被永远钉在了耻辱柱上，而千帆过尽后的柏林人民依然能够扼住命运的喉咙，延续德意志的精魂。
