Luckily I've read memoir of Zhu Min.
She was born in Moscow in 1926, after a month, her father Zhu De(the commander in chief of PLA) was ordered back to China to fight for KMT Government against Peking Government, and never have seen each other until 1940. In her childhood, she could only meet her father in the street -- where Zhu De's pictures were on the Wanted.
In 1941 she arrived U.S.S.R. for studies, but after six months, the fifteen year old girl was captured by German soldiers, and had been sent to a concentration camp in East Prussia. During the one week terrible death-march, suffering disease , she could barely believe that she was alive.
The fate was cruel, be Beaten, slashed by German solider was her life in that period, while witnessing many deaths --to be buried alive, gassed and genocide to Russian and Jewish people, and received a bad treatment from a German doctor, who cut off a bossing from her neck without applying any anesthetic nor disinfect.
During the 3.5 year life in the camp she lost her ability of speaking couldn't speak too much Russian, German, even Chinese, and didn't grow up.
-----------------
And by the way, there's another boy of CCP's high rank leader was killed at that time, too.
the execution by chopping in two parts was a normal phenomenon in the KMT era for terrorizing the communists. ------------
Whatever, many scenes weren't happen in one person, but it took place, and the reality was more horrible than the movie. I can tell you this film is a mixed truth, except the tattoo.
