As I get older, I get new insights every time I watch it.
What I saw when I was a child was the cruelty of war and the greatness of soldiers.
When I went to the military academy, I understood the sacrifice of life among comrades and the honor of the company.
Now that my life is very difficult and difficult, I picked it up and read it again.
When Lieutenant Winster walked into the Ardennes forest with the lack of food and clothing, he said something to the retreating troops: We are paratroopers, and paratroopers are born to be surrounded.
I suddenly recalled many fragments of memory after I came to the army.
When we were in Leting, it was raining heavily that day, and the water soon filled the drainage ditch beside the tent. We were all laying on the floor, and one class went out to dig the ditch in underpants and raincoats. It was raining heavily at that time, and we just ran out of water. After finishing the work, I took off my clothes and took an open-air bath for myself, shaking with the sea breeze and rain.
When I was in Shifang, it was still raining in November. I wore my summer training uniform and climbed into the quagmire full of water without hesitation. The cigarette in my jacket pocket was soaked in water, and when I was able to stand up, my comrades and I shivered and smoked a damp and soft cigarette. When I was climbing, the water gun was aimed at my face, I shouted slogans, and kept clenching my teeth and crawling forward.
When I was in Yumen, the tent was leaking, and the sand was heavy at night. I took off my clothes and trousers to block the leaks. The wind was blowing all the time, but I slept peacefully. I keep thinking about my girlfriend, always thinking about my home.
Now, I have nothing left, and I can say that I am surrounded by hardship and suffering. She also went with someone else. My road in the future may become more and more difficult, and there are still more arduous roads to continue. I don’t know if I can keep my head up and finish it.
At the very least, go in like E Company without hesitation, and then walk out with your head held high.
