二、 內文: That’s probably why Louie Zamperini’s life story has been on the
New York Times bestseller list for 21 weeks – where it is currently ranked
No. 2 on the hardcover, non-fiction list. Universal Studios recently
purchased the rights to the story and plans to put it on the big screen. They
have asked Zamperini to be a consultant. He agreed, but then jokingly told
them to hurry because he is 94 years old. Unbroken details the astonishing
survival tale of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic track star and Air Force pilot
who was shot down over the Pacific, spent six weeks at sea on a raft and then
years enduring torture as a Japanese POW. In a letter to his former captor,
he wrote, "The post-war nightmares caused my life to crumble, but thanks to a
confrontation with God through the evangelist Billy Graham, I committed my
life to Christ. Love replaced the hate I had for you. Christ said, "Forgive
your enemies and pray for them.' " He then faced many of the guards who held
him captive in Japan. They had been arrested, convicted and imprisoned.
Through an interpreter, Zamperini told them about the Savior who redeemed his
soul. And he told them he forgave them for what they did to him.
