- 格尔是一位德高望重、有着多年教学经验的老教授,他不仅对当今时事和政治充满关切,对世风日下的社会充满忧虑,而且还积极地活跃在社会活动的前线,通过社会和政治活动维护自己的主张。他不甘于像身边其他衣食无忧的老年人一样居于一隅安享晚年,在骨子里,他还像18岁青年那样抱有改造社会的意愿,并且利用自己所在的位置努力地为之付出实践。格尔自豪地称自己是切·格瓦拉的最后拥护者之一,不仅对他的革命理念抱有矢志不渝的信念,并且一直对1967年发生在玻利维亚,切·格瓦拉最后的斗争,以及之后那段不幸的历史事件记忆犹新。他一直如此告诉周围所有人,并且竭力地想要证实,自己曾经也是那段风云故事当中的一部分。但是事实的真相似乎并不是这样。
