南非民族斗士曼德拉因为领导反对白人种族隔离制度而被捕。自1962年8月至1990年2月,他在狱中度过了近28年时光,而其中有20年被关押在与世隔绝的罗本岛上做采石等苦工。在刺眼的太阳下,他在石灰石采石场开凿石头,没有任何眼部防护措施,这样的艰苦工作几乎毁掉了他的泪腺,他失去了流泪的能力。因为曼德拉是要犯,专门看押他的看守就有3名,他们对曼德拉很不友好,经常找各种理由虐待他。 South African national fighter Mandela was arrested for leading the opposition to the apartheid white system. From August 1962 to February 1990, he spent nearly 28 years in prison. Of these, 20 years were imprisoned on the isolated Robben Island for quarrying and other hard labor. In the glare of the sun, he stoned a limestone quarry without any eye protection. Such hard work almost destroyed his lacrimal gland and he lost his ability to shed tears. Because Mandela was a prisoner, there were 3 guards who specifically watched him. They were very unfriendly to Mandela and often used various reasons to abuse him.
