Introduction: In 1979, in a restaurant in the United States, Bertner, a proprietor who had fought in the Korean War and had been captured by China, noticed several Asian faces.
Among these faces was an interrogator who had been captured and was a woman. Börtner was incredulous and repeatedly confirmed. Soon, the Asians also noticed that Böltner was watching them, his eyes full of questions.
On closer inspection, Bertner confirmed that one of these Asian faces had interrogated him in a prisoner of war camp, and that it was this man who had changed his life.
Burtner walked over excitedly, stretched out his hands and asked, "Is your surname Liu?" The woman nodded in acknowledgement, but she didn't seem to be impressed with Burtner.
Börtner hurriedly explained: "I am Burtner, and you interrogated me during the Korean War!" When the lady heard this, it dawned on her that they were old friends from many years ago.
So, who is this lady surnamed Liu? Her story is closely related to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in New China. In June 1950, the Korean War broke out, and the United States burned the war to the Yalu River, threatening China's security.
In the face of this crisis, after repeated consideration, ** and *** decided to send troops to North Korea to resist US aggression and aid Korea. As a female student, this lady surnamed Liu resolutely decided to join the army and fight for the peace and dignity of the country.
The Chinese people are not afraid of the coming of war, because the fruits of victory are not easy to come by because of the efforts of countless young people. Liu Luzeng is one of them. As a committed volunteer soldier, her story is deeply admirable.
When he learned of the outbreak of the Korean War, Liu Lu was still a student. Full of enthusiasm, she is eager to join the army to defend New China and her homeland. However, due to family reasons, her wish could not be fulfilled.
Liu Lu was born in Shanghai in 1928 into a wealthy family, but her father was a hugely successful businessman. In 1950, the army came to Liu Luzeng's school to recruit a group of battlefield translators.
She didn't have time to discuss it with her family, so she immediately signed up. Liu Lu did not let his expectations be disappointed and successfully became a volunteer soldier. Her determination and courage make people deeply feel the perseverance and patriotic enthusiasm of the Chinese people.
On the battlefield filled with gunpowder, the test of life and death is going on all the time. When Liu Lu first arrived in Korea, he was shocked by the cruelty of the battlefield, from the Yalu River to the front-line battlefield, they had to withstand the strafing and bombing of the Americans, and walked through rugged mountain roads.
U.S. planes often glide over the heads of our troops, and the bullets sprayed from the wings did not even let go of animals, and this experience made Liu Lu, who had lived under the protection of her parents since she was a child, was greatly shocked.
During the interrogation of American prisoners, Liu Lu felt the cruelty of war more deeply, which made her disgusted with war. After arriving at the destination, Liu Lu was assigned to the Enemy Engineering Department of the Political Department of the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army according to the organization's arrangement, responsible for interrogating American prisoners.
At first, she was in a group of several people, and she would have someone to take with her who was unfamiliar with interrogation, but soon she had to face the captives alone, and the translation office in the field was short of people, so she took on the task without hesitation.
Liu Lu was a volunteer soldier who had just joined the interrogation work, and in the face of the interrogation of the prisoners, she had to master military knowledge and interrogation skills as soon as possible. While preferential treatment of captives was a basic policy, the need for quick access to information meant that she could not rely on torture.
She must follow the pace of her own learning, because here, time is of the essence, and every minute of interrogation can reduce the sacrifice of a warrior. After working day and night, Liu Lu mastered the key skills of interrogation and memorized commonly used military terms.
Although she was a skinny little girl standing in front of the tall American captives, she managed to win the trust of the captives with her intelligence and determination.
In the face of the captive's disdain and stubbornness, Liu Luzeng did not flinch. Instead, she was convinced that her interrogation methods would deter her captives, so she practiced her tone of voice on her own to deal with the various situations of interrogation.
Her hard work and persistence allowed her to be successful in the interrogation work and made important contributions to the intelligence work of the Volunteer Army.
Although the tone of this little girl was stern, her words deeply touched many American prisoners who despised Liu Luzeng. After the criticism, she changed her attitude to a moderate one, patiently explaining to the US military the policy of our army and expressing concern for the predicament in which they were found.
When interrogating blacks, she showed great respect and won the trust of blacks, thus gaining their cooperation. When she is confronted with a stubborn American pilot, she racks her brains and finally comes up with a clever trick.
She imprisoned the pilot with the South Korean puppet army captives, but this unacceptable treatment for the American pilot made him finally open his mouth and apologize to the Chinese female soldier he once looked down on.
Liu Lu had become acquainted with Burtner on the Korean battlefield, and in the process of interrogating countless prisoners, she always insisted on treating everyone with humanitarian care, so that the policy of the Volunteer Army could truly take root.
This kind of love deeply influenced Burtner, and he left a deep impression on Liu Luzeng. Before the outbreak of the Korean War, Burtner was just an ordinary American, he had no skills, but he had a habit of petty theft, which eventually led to his imprisonment.
However, the outbreak of the Korean War changed the course of his life. In order to earn a living, he was conscripted into the army after his release from prison and sent to the Korean battlefield. However, he had no idea about the war and why it was being fought here.
Shortly after arriving in Korea, he was captured by the Volunteers. After being captured, he fell into a deep depression and confusion. The fighters told Liu Luzeng about his condition, and Liu Luzeng used her unique communication skills to help Burtner unload his psychological burden and make him start pouring bitter water on her.
Liu Luzeng's kindness and understanding made Bertner feel the warmth of humanity, and he began to reflect on his past and find meaning in life. This experience had a profound impact on Burtner and changed his life dramatically.
During his years in the United States, Bertner searched for a sense of identity and worth, but never found it. It wasn't until the prisoner of war camp that he met Liu Luzeng, his confidant and listener.
Liu Lu not only listened to his story, but also gained a new understanding of him, and she saw that his essence was not bad, but the environment affected his judgment. Liu Lu was convinced that if he had grown up in a good educational environment, with skills and the right values, he would not have been so down.
Liu Lu once cared for him with practical actions, and when Burtner's high fever did not go away, she immediately took him to the doctor, making him feel the warmth he had never felt before. Liu Luzeng's kindness and understanding made Burtner regain confidence and hope, and he believed that he could change.
In volunteer prisoner of war camps, learning is always paramount. Compared with the methods used by other armies to mistreat prisoners, the volunteers treated prisoners equally, paid more attention to their spiritual transformation, and helped them establish a correct world view so that they could become worthy people who resisted oppression and imperialism.
Here, for the first time, Bertner was exposed to education on volunteer army policy, national management system, and world view, and when he encountered questions that he did not understand, he would ask Liu Luzeng for advice, and Liu Luzeng always answered patiently.
Through many encouragements, Bötner has transformed himself from a former street gangster to a dignified person. Although interrogating prisoners of war in a prisoner of war camp was only a brief experience in North Korea, as his mission changed, he joined the frontline combat units, working with his soldiers to capture prisoners and gather intelligence.
Liu Lu once recalled: "When I was at home, I didn't have to worry about anything, but when I arrived in North Korea, everything changed." I fought with the soldiers, and the things that I couldn't eat were now eaten, and the firewood that I couldn't drag can now be dragged.
I really experienced what it feels like to be 'on my own'. "In the Battle of Shangganling, the two sides engaged in a long tug-of-war on the front line. After the outbreak of the Shangganling Battle in October 1952, psychological warfare became an indispensable part of both the enemy and the enemy.
For psychological warfare, translators are urgently needed. So, on Christmas Eve in December, Liu Lu was transferred to the front line of Shangganling and began to attack the enemy.
Shangganling is a meritorious position that has been baptized by artillery fire. Every day, the U.S. military pours tons of shells in an attempt to raze the place to the ground. Liu Lu once shuttled through the artillery fire, and the shock wave of ** often buried the tunnel, but the volunteer soldiers would dig the tunnel between the bombardments and continue to fight.
Liu Lu once used English loudspeakers to conduct psychological warfare against the US troops in the fortifications on the Shangganling front. To increase the effect, she wrote American songs and letters from the families of the fallen soldiers, which made the US military very angry.
Although their bombing interfered with her broadcasts, it also proved that Liu Luzeng's broadcasts had an impact on the U.S. military. In the pothole life, they face a difficult environment.
During the day, they could only stay in the potholes, because the artillery fire of the American army kept them from moving. The resulting shaking will shake the dust down, leaving them covered in dust.
The lighting and cooking equipment in the tunnel were rudimentary, with gunsmoke outside and cloudy air inside. This was a great test for Liu Luzeng, a rich lady who once enjoyed a privileged life, but she finally succeeded in adapting to this hard life.
The young warriors fought in the pits, and before each expedition, they would ask Liu Lu to sing a song for everyone. At the end of the song, the little warriors rushed out without hesitation, and many never returned.
After the war, Liu Lu made silent contributions. At the beginning of 1953, she returned from the front line, and in July of the same year, she was again transferred to the Shangganling front. This time, she is the only woman in the tunnel, and she is still in charge of this battle.
During the negotiations, the US side wanted to compete on the battlefield and gain more bargaining chips for the negotiating table. Although by the time of the armistice negotiations, the U.S. military was tired on the battlefield, its response to psychological warfare was not as strong as before.
Without the rumbling of artillery, Liu Luzeng did not need to shout through the external horn, this time she stretched out the horn through the hole in the tunnel and shouted directly to the US military.
The U.S. military also seemed to have a tacit understanding, as long as Liu Luzeng shouted, the other side would not launch a shooting, and quietly listened to Liu Luzeng's speech. This shouting became a way for them to ease their emotions.
On the battlefields of war, people's desire for peace has become stronger. Everyone is looking forward to the early end of the war and the dawn of peace will shine on the earth as soon as possible.
Despite the difficulties of the negotiation process, everyone was confident that the armistice would be successfully signed. After a long wait, the dawn of peace finally appeared before people's eyes.
On July 27, 1953, representatives of the Chinese and North Korean delegations and the enemy delegation signed an armistice agreement at Panmunjom, announcing the official end of the war that lasted nearly three years.
At this time, Liu Lu was still in the tunnels on the front line, and her superiors told her the news by telegram and asked her to broadcast it on the front line. At 8 p.m., the armistice officially came into effect, and both sides stopped attacking.
In order to ensure safety, everyone waited patiently in the pit until 8 o'clock before quietly walking out of the cave. Sure enough, no more gunshots were fired. When dawn came the next day, Liu Lu had rubbed shoulders with the American troops outside.
The U.S. military didn't expect that there was really a female soldier in the pit of the volunteers, and they always thought it was a tape recorder. Liu Luzeng's bravery deeply admired the American troops present, and they unanimously agreed that this woman had extraordinary courage.
Liu Lu was a hero who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and after the war, she did not lie in the merit book to ask for credit, but returned to the motherland and became an ordinary clerk in a unit in Nanjing.
Her colleagues didn't know about her legendary experience, and it wasn't until she **went to** her heroic deeds that they realized that she was Liu Luzeng, who "had eyes but didn't know Mount Tai".
Although the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea ended, it brought about decades of peace in New China. The victory in this war was the result of the bloody battles fought by hundreds of thousands of volunteer soldiers, among whom more than 100,000 heroic sons and daughters were buried in other places, and they made immortal contributions to the peace and stability of the motherland.
Liu Luzeng and Bertner, one is a tourist worker in China and the United States, and the other is an American who changed his fate in a prisoner of war camp. They met again after the reform and opening up, and due to work needs, Liu Lu went to the United States, Europe and other places for inspection.
Especially in the United States, she met Burtner, a former prisoner of war, which made Liu Lu feel a lot of emotion. After the end of the Korean War, the Chinese released American prisoners, and Bertner was among them.
After returning to the United States, Burtner completely changed his life, opened a restaurant, and his business became more and more prosperous. Until his restaurant ushered in his nobleman - Liu Luzeng.
Liu Lu was a noble man in Bertner's life, although during her days in the prisoner of war camp, she was only one of the thousands of prisoners she interrogated. Years later, when they met again, Burtner's transformation made it impossible for Liu to recognize who the American was.
However, when Bertner said his name, Liu Luzeng realized that she had not forgotten this once confused American. This meeting was particularly cordial, and there was no tension in the prisoner of war camp, only relaxation.
After the meeting, Böltner helped Liu Lu find her first English teacher, and fulfilled one of her wishes.
The engraving of the years cannot erase the sparkle of the spirit, and Liu Lu has proved this with practical actions after retirement. Although her face is no longer young, her heart is never old.
From foreign travel to legal research, her quest for knowledge never stops. The experience of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea deeply affected Liu Luzeng's life and changed her view of life.
If she hadn't joined the military, her life might have been different. However, she always remembers those comrades-in-arms who died heroically for the sake of peace, and it was they who gave her the strength to move forward.
The bloody struggle of our ancestors was exchanged for today's prosperous peace. Their heroic deeds inspire the younger generation and make us cherish our hard-won lives even more.
