What can she do? Not only did she work hard and even desperately, but the result told her that there was nothing she could do, and what else could she do to struggle in the face of all this. Then the colonel came, and she took off her dignified clothes without even saying a word, but this old man unexpectedly brought her a little respect, protection, and safety that she had not seen for a long time.

After seeing her actions and guessing what happened to her, the colonel turned around and left without saying a word. The next day, he brought his friends to her house for a dinner as if he was declaring territory with his companion Zhou, and beat the soldiers violently to declare this. already under his protection. Although I can't understand the motive, it does bring a long-lost sense of security to the heroine, although this should be what his husband does in normal times. So when the colonel starts kissing the heroine lightly, you can't tell whether it's encroachment, protection, or love, and the heroine's return you can't tell whether she's out of gratitude, long-lost warmth, or long-term She has been numb since, but one thing is certain is that the arrival of the colonel has indeed given her a little dignity as a human being and the respect that a woman deserves. As for the others, what else can she ask for, at least you have at least become like a woman in the case of artificial swords.

Finally the war was over, she refused the colonel's invitation to return to China with her, and chose to bring back her husband with the truth. However, this man who fought bloody on the front line failed to maintain her safety when he fell, and at the same time he failed to bring back a trace of warmth and comfort to her after the war, let alone the hugs and tears of the two injured people. Such a contrast made her have to be grateful for everything the colonel brought her during the war. She rushed to the colonel like a gallop, as if she wanted to throw herself into his arms and cry about the injustices and grievances she had suffered for a long time. After all, there was only one person left who could make her do this, but she didn't do that. Out of the last bit of dignity of a woman, she just came to express her sincere gratitude, and for the same reason, she did not choose to leave together, but chose to swallow all the words in her heart and live strong. Even though she initially wanted to cry about her husband, she found it was the Colonel who was comforting her.
