Many people remember the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan 15 years ago, but forget the Afghan war launched by the Soviet Union more than 30 years ago. In 1988, they came to Afghanistan with the absurd ideal of "helping the Afghan people resist imperialist aggression". When they shed their blood on the unnamed high ground, they got the answer from the superior that we didn't need that high ground, and we had withdrawn our troops. . As soldiers at the bottom, those fresh young men have always been pawns that the old men in Moscow can discard at any time. Two years later, as the tricolor flag was planted in the Kremlin, the blood they shed, the brothers who died, and everything they fought for their country, together with the ridiculous war, were all forgotten in that faraway place. The heights, as if never existed. After ten years of war in Afghanistan, more than 15,000 child soldiers were laid in zinc skin coffins and transported back to China. Soon after that, the great army and the country they fought for disappeared in an instant and was forgotten, while the veterans have to continue. Life, this is probably the greatest tragedy of that war. Excellent war films are anti-war. In this film, there is no distinction between righteousness and evil at all. From beginning to end, there is a deep sense of helplessness. The 9th Company of the Soviet Army, who was trapped in the highlands, did not know that they were guarding it. What is the meaning of high ground. They don't know why Afghans and even children use bayonets and bullets against them. When the Soviet Army smashed innocent villages with 125mm hail rockets, the old Afghan's eyes were numb when he witnessed all this. He was just a microcosm of the millions of people at the bottom of Afghanistan. One can't help but wonder why all this is happening. Politicians launch wars, and the final result is only endless suffering for the soldiers and ordinary people at the bottom. Going back to the present moment, the Korean peninsula is now cloudy and the South Korean government is desperate, seems to have forgotten the bloody lesson of more than 60 years ago. Thousands of loyal souls from other places. Today, more advanced weapons are scattered on both sides of the DPRK and the ROK. I hope that all parties on the peninsula will exercise rational restraint. The lessons of blood sixty years ago have warned the world that once the war begins, there is no turning back. I would like to pay tribute to peace with this film!
