American youth Frederick Henry volunteered to participate in the Red Cross in the late World War II, driving an ambulance and rescuing the wounded on the northern front of Italy. During a mission, Henry was injured by a shell. During his recovery in Milan hospital, he received the careful care of British nurse Catherine. The two fell in love. Henry returned to the front line after recovering from his injury. He saw all kinds of cruel scenes of the war when the Italian army retreated. He resolutely left the army, met Catherine and fled to Switzerland. As a result, Catherine died in dystocia. Hemingway, based on his war experience and taking war and love as the main line, sang a sad and moving sad song, which has been put on the screen many times and can be called a classic of modern literature.
