Understanding of the last riddle spoken by the German doctor and Quito in "La Vita è Bella"

I have also read some foreign comments. The basic point is that it is a common riddle with no hidden meaning. Therefore, I transferred a post from Baidu Beautiful Life Bar to the

director’s answer when he was asked this question. Yes, there is no solution to this riddle, and the purpose is to reflect the absurdity of that war. So everyone's dispute can come to an end.



http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=411284373 I have
read some related posts in the bar, I think everyone's analysis has some truth.
However, the most important sentence was ignored. So, I want to talk about my views. I will sort out the original text first:
In the restaurant, a German doctor deliberately dropped the fork on the ground, and Quito came to help pick it up. The German doctor said to Quito: "I have something to tell you, it is very important." Quito replied: "Where? When?" "I'll signal you later," the doctor said. Quito nodded and left.
Later, a German woman finished talking to the doctor and walked away. Quito wisely stepped forward to help the doctor pour the wine, and said, "Doctor, my wife is here." The doctor gently "ah", before he could say the following, he was forced by a German officer. Pulled away.
At this time, Quito quietly walked to his son’s side. He squatted next to his son and said softly: "Hey, Qiao Shuwei, eat slowly, it’s not good for you. We may need to leave here earlier. The game may be better than The expectation is over early. Make no mistake! Eat slowly."
Later, the doctor stood by the bar alone. He pretended to knock over the wine bottle, and Quito went over to help the doctor wipe it naturally. (The point is coming...)
The doctor said to Quito: "Listen to me carefully." Quito nodded seriously. The doctor continued: "I am fat, not very beautiful, I am yellow, and people can see me from a distance. If you ask me where I am, I replied: "Quaquaquack". I walked and shit. , But not much. Who am I? Tell me, "Quito's eyes are a bit confused at this time, but he still concentrates on listening to the doctor. The doctor continued, "I should be a duckling, am I not?" Quito nodded. The doctor suddenly got excited, and his eyes were a bit wronged and said: "Huh? Isn't it a duckling?... Not at all! This is a riddle given to me by a veterinarian in Vienna. If I can't solve this riddle, there will be no Give him my riddle!" Quito closed his eyes in disappointment and dropped his head. The doctor said again: "I also thought it might be a platypus, but the platypus doesn’t say'呱呱呱', the platypus says'呲呲呲'! I translated it into Italian for you last night, what do you think? Everything is shown. The answer should be the duckling. Help me, Quito...I can't even sleep..." The doctor turned to his side sadly, repeating the puzzle in his mouth, and then yelled "It should be the duckling!" , Hit the bar with a punch. At this moment, Quito had already left helplessly.


From Quito's initial suggestion of the doctor's words and what he later said to his son, it is obvious that Quito has always believed that the doctor is willing to help him rescue them. Because the doctor saved Quito once before and arranged him to work in the restaurant. But Quito was completely wrong. The German doctor saved Quito and transferred it to the restaurant, purely hoping that Quito could help him figure out the mystery that made him sleepless all night. This is a German doctor who is completely obsessed with guessing. He would not fall asleep because he could not guess the answer correctly, and would feel aggrieved and angry because he guessed the "duckling" incorrectly. He even remembered the rules of the game like a child: "If I can't solve this riddle, I don't have the right to give him my riddle!" And this game rule obviously became his heart disease. (This is something I think has been overlooked in some related posts)

So I think this quiz is a quiz without any metaphor. The doctor said at the beginning "I have something to tell you, it is very important." It is not difficult to guess that the "very important" thing for the doctor is his unsolved mystery. And when Quito talked about his wife being locked up here, the doctor just "ah" for a while, and he stopped talking and thought that it was still his mystery. The last time the doctor simply got to the point, he was talking about his puzzles. Quito finally saw such and such a German doctor, but he had no choice but to walk away. He thought that the German doctor could help him, but he didn't expect the poor German doctor to be waiting for Quito's help instead.

While Quito was trying his best for the safety of his family, the German doctor could not sleep for an unimportant puzzle. It's ironic enough.
