Dog Leftovers Run New Fourth Army Marriage Rules Cause Controversy Why Are the Rules Set by Premie

Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-05

Recently, the comedy "Dog Leftover Run" (a total of 24 episodes) released by CCTV is almost over, and after watching it, I feel that it is to praise the desperate efforts of those low-level small characters and devils through the cloak of funny.

It has to be said that the actors' acting skills in the film can be described as superb, with funny plots and funny dialogues abounding, and full of laughter.

However, just when this drama is about to end, there are a lot of places in the plot that can't stand up to in-depth study, and there are places where logic is chaotic and deviates from history.

For example, if Liu Laoyu wants to poison the devil, why not throw the rat poison into it while the fish is stewed?

Also, why did the dog go to Lao Wangji to inquire about the news, and buy things while shopping? Otherwise, it would not have been discovered by that naughty child, and it would not have caused Xing'er and Wang Mao to be shot by the devil Yoshino.

For another example, the plot of Ye Da Lamb entrusting the commander to Yang San before his death was too simple to make sense at all.

What I want to say is, Episode 21 of "Dog Leftovers Run": Can the company commander of the New Fourth Army talk about marriage? I have to let the choreographer think about the rules.

In the film, the instructor plans to introduce Song Yutao to the company commander Tang Yulong as his daughter-in-law.

Then, Song Yutao angrily approached Tang Yulong and said that the person she liked in her heart was a dog.

To be honest, it's really annoying to set up such a character as the heroine in the film, how could a woman in that era say so directly that she likes her superior, this kind of silly setting is really infuriating.

This drama distorts military history, mainly because since Xiang Ying became the deputy commander of the New Fourth Army in December 1937, strict regulations have been made on the marriage of officers and soldiers of the New Fourth Army. In the play, Tang Yulong mentioned Nanjing Da** (December 13, 1937), suggesting that the time background of the plot should be after Xiang Ying served as the deputy commander.

Within the New Fourth Army, although Ye was the commander, Xiang Ying was actually the actual decision-maker, because Ye was not a party member. Xiang Ying's leadership style was very tough, and he once adopted an extreme "one-size-fits-all" policy on the love and marriage of all officers and men of the New Fourth Army, and put forward the slogan of "shooting people in love," that is, no one is allowed to marry regardless of age and seniority. This was to obey the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, believing that only by defeating the Japanese invaders could officers and soldiers be allowed to fall in love and get married.

It was not until February 1939 that ** raised objections to Xiang Ying's "one-size-fits-all" during the inspection of the New Fourth Army, advocating that it should be treated differently according to the actual situation. Subsequently, ** proposed the solution of the "285th Regiment", stipulating that regiment-level cadres who have reached the age of 28 and have joined the army (joined the party) for more than five years can apply for marriage. This provision began to be implemented in all units of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, and although there were differences in the implementation standards of each unit, they were generally consistent.

In the classic anti-Japanese drama "Bright Sword", when Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment, strongly asked the head of the regiment Li Yunlong to marry Xiuqin, Li Yunlong refused in a humorous way, saying: "When I got married, the soldiers were greedy." This scene shows the humor and frankness that characterize the army.

And Political Commissar Zhao Gang responded in a righteous and stern tone, emphasizing that the organization stipulates that as long as the age and position meet the standard, you can get married, and it is useless for anyone to be greedy! This underscores discipline and decency in the military and emphasizes the insignificance of personal feelings in the face of organizational regulations.

In the play, Li Yunlong, as a cadre during the Red Army period and the head of an independent regiment, fully complies with the marriage regulations of the "285th Regiment", so even if some people are greedy, they can't change the rules.

In fact, both the "285th Regiment" and the later "258th Regiment" stipulated that the level of cadres marrying was regimental (deputy regimental level was also acceptable). These regulations were formulated in accordance with the marital problems commonly faced by military cadres at that time, and showed that the army attached great importance to organizational discipline.

Looking back at the period of the Agrarian Revolutionary War, most of the leaders at or above the regimental level in the army were in their early twenties, but because they ran on the battlefield all the year round, they did not have the conditions for marriage at all. It was not until the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were firmly based on the ground, and the comrades who had participated in the revolution were generally older, that they gradually met the basic conditions for marriage.

Generally speaking, the marriage regulations of the "285th Regiment" and the "258th Regiment" were tailored to the actual situation faced by the cadres of the army at that time, and this reflected the army's emphasis on discipline and organizational regulations.

The marriage rules set by our troops continued until July 1953, when the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed. It is stipulated that the older battalion-level cadres (over 30 years old) in the volunteer army can apply for marriage. With the awarding of military ranks in 1955, the implementation of the monthly salary system abolished the marriage restriction, and even platoon commanders were eligible to marry.

However, conscripts who have served in the military to this day are still not allowed to fall in love near the barracks, let alone marry (unless they were married before enlistment). Therefore, the instructor's introduction to the company commander is purely fictitious, and Song Yutao wants to marry Gou Yu, maybe he has to wait for eight years, and he can only get married after Gou Yu is promoted to the regimental level. It is important to note that this provision applies only to men in the army, and female soldiers are not subject to this restriction.
