Lead character of Das Leben der Anderen (Chinese title: 《
窃听风暴》, "Eavesdropping Storm"), the 2006 Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck film that won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar. Dreyman is an East Berlin playwright surveilled by the Stasi — the agent listening in eventually protects him. A classic of post-Cold-War cinema and a recurring reference in Chinese discussions of surveillance.
