In 1833, the mysterious death of the German young man Hausser and his first appearance in society provoked many discussions about loneliness and identity. His story not only involves personal destiny, but also becomes a profound allegory of human nature and society. A young man lives alone in the darkness. What secrets does he hide?
Hausser appeared on the streets of Nuremberg, Germany in 1828. He was only sixteen years old at the time and was deeply confused and afraid of everything around him.
His story begins with a letter. The author of the letter claimed that he abducted Hause when he was an infant, hid him, and taught him language and religion in solitude. However, this mysterious boy's memory of life seems vague. He can only repeat simple sentences such as "I want to be a cavalry like my father."
During his time in captivity, the life Haousser described was downright horrifying. He claimed that he was visited every night by a masked man who offered him food and taught him to walk and write.
This story immediately attracted the attention of many officials and citizens at the time. They are full of speculations about Hauser's identity, and some even think that he may be the missing prince of the Archduke of Baden. However, many dramatic events pushed Hause into another mysterious abyss.
In his life, Hause's health gradually aroused people's doubts. In 1829, he was stabbed after an argument. Haousser claimed it came from a mysterious attacker, and the subsequent reaction raised many suspicions. As the incident develops, his story becomes more and more incredible, and a series of "accidents" occur one after another, making people begin to doubt his true identity and experiences.
Some people once suspected that what happened to Hause was a hoax planned to arouse sympathy.
As time passes, Hause's story turns into a suspenseful plot. Under the care of the British aristocrat Sir Stanhope, Hauser's life was relatively stable, but his mental state was always fluctuating. Finally, during his life in Ansbach, there were even rumors of a dispute with a school teacher and his death in a mysterious stabbing incident.
His tombstone reads: "Hausur, the mystery of the times." But how many unsolved stories does this coded description only cover up? Even more than 230 years later, the young man's death remains the center of controversy and mystery.
Some psychologists believe that Hauser's behavior reveals some pathological characteristics, which complicates the understanding of his true identity.
Many contemporary scholars and literati are still discussing the life of Hause. Novelists and film-makers have used him as a subject to explore the repressed corners of human nature. At the same time, genetic testing and academic research have repeatedly questioned his claim to blood, making the mystery of Hause's life experience even more bizarre.
As this story continues, more and more scholars have begun to realize that what is hidden behind Hause is a struggle for human existence. His loneliness leads people to reflect on self-identity. One can’t help but wonder: How much real connection and understanding have we lost in this world of uncertainty?
