摘鬱金香的男孩

The narrative feels so intimate and raw—I'm curious what inspired the choice to tell the story through a child's eyes in such a tense environment.

The contrast between childhood moments and the oppressive setting made the story feel even more intense. How did others interpret this juxtaposition?

The atmosphere is so palpable, and I wonder whether real events influenced the backdrop or if it was a purely fictional setting designed to evoke that era.
