In 1978, on the streets of New York, USA, people were immersed in the celebration of a grand holiday. Bettner, the owner of a restaurant, was so busy that he greeted customers as they entered the restaurant and urged the kitchen staff to serve the food as quickly as possible, so as not to discourage the customers.
On a busy street, an older-looking Oriental woman caught Burtner's attention. He craned his neck and stared at her carefully, then his eyes widened gradually, and he exclaimed, "It's her, the Chinese woman who paid for the country in the war." ”
Ignoring the endless flow of restaurant business, Bötner immediately rushed to the Chinese woman and asked in unskilled Chinese, "Is your surname Liu?" Did you participate in the battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea? ”
Image source network, their eyes met, full of long-lost familiarity. Bertner said excitedly, "Do you remember me? I was a prisoner of American soldier in the Battle of Triangle Mountain (known as the 'Shangganling Campaign' in my country), and you personally educated me. ”
The other party frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he replied: "Oh, you are Bertner, that's right, of course I remember you, I was Liu Luzeng, the translator at that time." ”
* The two men looked at each other and smiled heartily, recalling that moment in the winter of 1952, when the Battle of Shangganling, the highest level of fierce fighting in World War II.
At that time, the illusion of the joint ** was shattered.
MacArthur's ambition came from uniting the powerful equipment and material superiority, and it was widely believed that China would suffer a heavy blow in this war of disparity in strength.
However, the tenacity and strength of the Chinese have made the whole world see this oriental dragon that cannot be ignored. In particular, MacArthur, who had previously boasted about Haikou, finally had to throw away his armor and flee.
In the fierce battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the self-confidence of the 1st Marine Division was shattered by the advance attack of the volunteers, and it was finally captured by our army. One of the captives was called Bertner, who grew up in the United States, and his unfortunate family left him wandering around, often hungry.
The trajectory of his life was twisted by some vices, often stealing people's wallets, until one day he ran into the jeweled woman on the street. However, his theft was discovered by the other party's bodyguards, and he was caught off guard and then taken to the police station.
Prisoners who fought on the battlefields of Korea were punished without even any punishment and were paid high salaries. This decision provided a fateful opportunity for Burtner, who was faced with a difficult decision.
In order to preserve the peace of the rest of his life, Böltner did not hesitate to throw himself into the battlefield. However, he did not foresee the cruelty of the war, let alone compete with the Chinese's spirit of sacrifice to serve the country.
His original intention was only to protect himself, but on the battlefield, this seems to have become nonsense.
The moment Bertner laid down his ** in the war and raised his hand to surrender, he seemed to foresee his fate. However, what he never expected was that after being captured by the volunteers, he was treated extremely warmly.
It turned out that during the entire period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the volunteers always adhered to abiding by international law, implemented the policy of "giving preferential treatment to prisoners", and strictly respected the personal dignity of prisoners in words and deeds.
Especially when injuries and illnesses are discovered, the Volunteer Army is quick to provide the best **. The new copy retains the core idea of the original text, that is, during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the volunteers always abided by international law, implemented a policy of "preferential treatment of prisoners" for prisoners, and respected and protected the personal dignity of prisoners.
At the same time, the new copy allows readers to better understand the attitude and practices of the volunteers towards prisoners through more vivid and vivid descriptions.
Bötner looked at the clean and tidy volunteer dormitory and the piles of clothes, and couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. Although he was still a prisoner of war, his view of the Volunteer Army changed somewhat.
However, this unstable life made him more and more confused, and even developed resistance to management. However, the appearance of one person completely changed Burtner's mind, and she was Liu Luzeng.
During that special period, Liu Lu used to communicate with American "prisoners" in English as an educator of the Volunteer Army, and she was empathetic and received unanimous praise.
Once, while Burtner was in bed imagining his death on the battlefield, Liu Lu walked in, holding a hot meal in his hand, and said with a smile: "Although our conditions are simple, I believe you have never tasted such delicious Chinese food." ”
Her words were gentle and caring, soothing Bertner's mood.
I'm alone in the United States, and no one has ever paid attention to me, let alone listened to me, and I'm really grateful that you're the first person to be so nice to me. ”
Image source network: The initial trust between Bettner and Liu Luzeng has shortened the distance between the two hearts. Liu Lu once used daily communication to quietly and silently convey the "anti-war" concept advocated by the volunteers.
However, Burtner still suspected that this was a superficial effort by the Chinese volunteers, and was worried about the future of their captive soldiers. However, an incident occurred that completely changed his deep-rooted beliefs.
One day, Böltner was suffering from a cold fever due to a long loss of appetite, and he lay in bed moaning in pain. In his blurred vision, he saw that the anxious Liu Lu had put a cold towel on his forehead and intimately fed him medicine and water.
There should be no war in the world, and all countries should live together peacefully. Liu Lu once deeply appreciated Burtner's enlightenment. Two years later, with the negotiations between China and the United States on post-war issues, the prisoner of war camp established by the Volunteers in Korea faced the fate of disbandment.
Before boarding the plane to the United States, Liu Luzeng Bertner saluted the land where she lived day and night and said: "Being a prisoner of the volunteer army is the luckiest thing in the world." ”
The departure of the last group of prisoners of war marked the end of the three-year-long War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. However, Liu Lu, as a woman who had gone to the Korean battlefield and served as the only tunnel soldier in the Battle of Shangganling, could not calm down for a long time.
Because Liu Luzeng's youth was all dedicated to those hard years, it became a witness to her ideal of joining the army and serving the country.
I want to join the army, Dad, Mom. "18-year-old Liu Lu said firmly. However, his parents frowned and told him:"Our family's background is not very good, and this dream of yours may be difficult to achieve. "
It turned out that the Liu family was a famous family in Shanghai, Liu Luzeng's grandfather was the governor of Sichuan, and his father was the manager of the Industrial Bank of China, and their economic strength and social status were unimaginable to ordinary people.
