I vaguely remember that I opened the media database one day in February of 2012 and saw this snippet of the CNN phone connection. At that time, I was still wondering who this one-eyed female reporter was; I later found out that she was Mary Colvin, her profession. His career has covered almost every conflict and war since the 1990s, Bosnia, Sri Lanka civil war, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria. Today, I saw a biographical film about her, which almost truly restored the last experience of her life. To this day, I still remember the conversation between Andersen Cooper and her, "Mary, you have reported so many conflicts and wars. How is this (Syria) different from the previous experience?" "This is the worst war ever. … Artillery and snipers are everywhere, innocent and helpless people are hiding under the eaves. All they can do is pray that they won’t be hit this time. It’s really very, very difficult, and it’s impossible for people to face it." Duan (February 21) The interview aired 10 hours after Mary Colvin was bombed and killed in Homs. I and my colleagues have a deeper feeling. I myself have reported and filmed in Iraq twice in 2013 and 2015, and once went to Kobani in northern Syria, and the media staff who conducted interviews on the Tell Brak frontline really didn’t know this. How to describe this movie. Although I have been back for 4 years and switched to filming entertainment documentary shows, that experience can never be erased. That is, tmd will never fight, and that kind of darkness will never happen.
