🚲 故事梗概

故事发生在二战时期的法国，一位12岁的男孩马赛尔（Marcel）热爱骑自行车，梦想有一天成为环法自行车赛的冠军。但战争改变了一切：德国纳粹占领了法国，生活变得紧张又危险。

马赛尔无意中发现了家中隐藏的秘密：他的父母正在帮助法国抵抗组织对抗纳粹。随后，马赛尔发现他最好的朋友德尔菲娜（Delphine）其实是一名犹太人。为了保护她不被纳粹发现，他开始利用骑车送面包的日常任务，秘密传递信息，参与到大人们的“抵抗行动”中……

在这个过程中，马赛尔不断面对恐惧、挑战与抉择，但也在行动中逐渐成长，成为一位真正的“英雄”。

A gust of wind cut across Marcel’s face as he cycled furiously down the street. He was riding as fast as he could, and he pushed even harder on the pedals of his trusty blue bike, but the bumpy cobblestone streets of Aucoin were not exactly made for speed. Still, he had to hurry. Just a little while ago his mother had come into his tiny room, with its narrow iron-framed bed, desk, and old armoire crammed in the corner, demanding that he get up and run this errand for her. She said it was very important.

“Can’t it wait?” he had said. “It’s so cold out.” It was late Sunday morning, and he and his family were back from church. He was warm and cozy under a small blanket, reading an out-of-date magazine about French-born René Vietto, the second-place winner of the 1939 Tour de France.

“No,” she said. “It can’t. You have to bring this loaf of bread to Madame Trottier right now.” Her tone was unusually stern.

So with a big sigh, Marcel set aside the magazine, ran his fingers through his mop of curly hair, straightened his tortoiseshell glasses on his nose, and reached for his jacket. He’d have to finish the article later.

Ever since Marcel had gone with his cousins and his father to see the Tour three years ago, he’d been practically obsessed with the big bicycle race and was looking forward to seeing it again. Riders from all over the world participated in the grueling competition, which was broken up into stages and went on for days. But in the spring of 1940, Germany invaded France, and shortly after that, the German army marched into Paris. The Tours de France had been canceled indefinitely. Now it was 1942, and the Occupation had dragged on for two long years. Who knew how long it would last or when the race would start up again?
