our nightmare

our nightmare

The wall of shame


Today is a normal as usual; I am eating breakfast with my parents. Suddenly there is an old man passes by my windows, he reminds me my grandparents who live in West Germany. My parents and I miss them very much but I cannot visit them because of the Berlin Wall. We want to escape from East Germany to West Germany for many times. These are some reasons of that, first of all, I really want to be with my grandparents and other relatives, and we have not met for three months because they are all live in West Germany. Then, people who are live in West Germany are freer. It means that we are under the control of the Socialism; until now we are not adapt and accept this institution. Like we do not have the freedom of speech, we cannot buy our private car nor do some private business. At last, the life of my family is getting poorer and poorer. There are not have enough goods and material in East Germany, also whatever you have a good job or not, the incomes are basically the same, so we want to move to the West Germany.
            Actually, my family has tried to escape, but we failed. We tunneled a secret way under the Berlin wall, but when we passed through this tunnel, unfortunately, the soldiers who defended this wall found us, and he hut my father. So we are afraid of escaping to West Germany, because maybe next time we will die for this.
