Who is to blame?

I have always liked watching Korean movies. Someone once said that Chinese films will not be as good as Korean films in another 30 years. I very much agree. It's not that there is anything inferior in terms of skills or equipment or even the level of directing. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a lot of restrictions. I have seen similar Korean movies, such as "The Taiji Flag Flying", or "Gorgeous Holiday", etc., and there is a kind of cruel objective of history in it. It's wonderful, but also very emotional.
Politics is always the game of big men, but it is often the little people who don't know anything that sacrifice blood. As they say "how do I know any military secrets".
Whether it is a man or a woman, a soldier or a police officer, no matter what you are, you are first and foremost alone. Humans have seven emotions and six desires, and they have flesh and blood. They don't talk about war, they don't talk about belonging to the north and the south, they only talk about feelings, they only play games, they smoke and drink. Perhaps, from the very beginning, it was destined to be a tragedy.
What caused the tragedy in the end? Maybe it's the times, maybe it's politics. The saddest thing is that you don't even know who to blame.
Guilt tortures people, life is better than death, both of them want to return their lives to Sergeant Zheng. The shooting at that time was inevitable and helpless. But then the torture of conscience became more and more intolerable. Because, they are first and foremost, and the truth is, they killed their friends.
There has never been a good war, and there has never been a bad peace.
