Features: American youth Frederic Henry volunteers for the Red Cross during the late World War I, driving an ambulance to rescue wounded soldiers on the northern front line in Italy, and meets and falls in love with British nurse Catherine Barkley. During a mission, Henry is injured by artillery fire and receives attentive care from Catherine during his recovery in Milan Hospital, deepening their romance. After recovering, Henry returns to the front line, witnesses the horrors of war during the Italian army's retreat, and decisively leaves the army. He escapes to Switzerland with Catherine after their reunion. However, Catherine dies in childbirth. Based on his own war experiences, Hemingway weaves a poignant and moving tragedy centered on war and love, which has been adapted into films multiple times and is considered a classic masterpiece of modern literature.
