This seems to be an inevitability.
Most film and television works with modern wars or events as the theme like to replace place names, country names, special titles and names with other names.
While this is not usually the case with most movies shown in theaters, this phenomenon has become the norm in TV series or web series.
Even the characters and events in the story have indeed happened in history.
The characters and stories that are finally presented to the audience become like a bridge over the long river of history.
We can only stand on the bridge and enjoy the infinite scenery under the bridge, but we can't personally appreciate whether the river is turbulent or gentle, warm or bone-deep.
Even when it was time to leave, there was no way to know the name of the river, where it originated and where it would flow.
Fortunately, those clever cast members will always inadvertently reveal some clues to us.
For example, use "time" to tell us that Sorghum's brother was killed in that war.
If you can understand the tragedy and history behind this war that took place on the border, then you will have a more specific and profound understanding of why young people such as Gu Yiye, Sorghum, and Jiangnan Zheng rushed to join the army.
Another question that bothers me is where is this unit that is about to become an "ace" stationed in the great rivers and mountains of the motherland?
Because there are almost no ordinary people in the play, plus the few people who appear on camera are fluent in Mandarin.
It is impossible to guess from the perspective of dialect, where is the bottom of the division, which was named the 234th Division, stationed at the bottom of the division?
Although the play gives us a very real name "Red Triple", this name does not provide us with much information.
Because the "Company" is too small and has undergone too many restructurings and mergers, it is necessary to find the "Red Three Company" from the long history, and the place where he was stationed around 1984 is comparable to ascending to the heavens.
Seeing this, you may think that the author is a little too real, is it bad to appreciate the plot? Why care about these innocuous details?
In fact, this is really not an insignificant detail, if you can know the location of this second, third and fourth division, you can understand why Commander Zheng Yuan is thinking of repairing the road of combat readiness.
It is also clear why there are wild boars around a troop's garrison, which is an important plot that makes sorghum almost take off its military uniform.
I suddenly realized that the place where there was a clue in the garrison of the troops was the scene where Political Commissar Wang Tianming wanted to jointly apply with Commander Zheng Yuan to repair the road for combat readiness.
In this scene, Master Zheng looked at the "Guilin Sanhua Wine" that Sorghum took out and said disapprovingly, "At such an important moment, take out my two bottles of good wine."
Is "Guilin Sanhua Wine" really not a good wine?
You should know that Guilin Sanhua Wine and Guilin Curd Milk and Guilin Chili Sauce are called "Guilin Three Treasures".
This "Guilin Sanhua Wine" once ranked first in the National Xiaoqu Wine Appraisal Conference in 1957, and was rated as a national quality wine in the three appraisals in 1963, 1979 and 1984.
In 1984, it also won the Silver Medal of the Ministry of Light Industry's Liquor Quality Competition and the National Silver Award.
Such a wine was said by Master Zheng to be inferior to the other two bottles of good wine, which shows that this wine must be the wine he drinks every day.
In that era when the logistics industry was not developed, although wine was something that could be preserved for a long time and transported over long distances.
But the habit of Master Zheng usually only shows one point, that is, Zheng Yuan and his 234th Division have a good chance of being stationed somewhere in Guangxi.
Remember the exercise that Gu Yiye and Sorghum encountered before they joined the army?
Beihai, a railway disciple, told the direction of the military railway: Zhangmu - Hongshikou - Nanzhen - Freeport.
Although these names may have been made up, I found some clues on the map.
I found "Zhangmu Township" in the northeast corner of Guangxi, and "Heather Town" and "Pingnan Town" in the east-central part.
Finally, I found "Fangcheng Port" near the seaside, that is, in the south of Guangxi.
It is also this Fangcheng Port, he gave me more associations and clues.
Do you remember where Gu Yiye, Sorghum, and Jiangnan Zheng would pass after they left the garrison?
Remember where Jiang Nanzheng sat when he talked to Sorghum about his father?
Remember the scene where Gu Yiye played with Jiang Nanzheng on the beach before he was discharged from the hospital?
Yes, there is almost a 90% chance that the 234th Division is stationed not far from Fangcheng Port.
Only in this way can Commander Zheng Yuan call his division a combat unit.
Because it is very close to the southern land border of our country, it can almost be said to be close.
Maybe it was because Commander Zheng Yuan always had memories of the border war in previous years in his heart.
This made him always grumpy about repairing the road of war readiness, and even if he offended the leaders of the military region, he had to repair the road of war readiness.
Yes, the 234th Division, the Ninth Company, the Ninth Squad.
Gu Yiye, Sorghum, Jiangnan Zheng, Zheng Yuan, etc... Wait a minute......
These soldiers and generals who trained hard day and night were always guarding the frontiers of the motherland.
It is also they who are always concerned about the safety of the frontiers of the motherland, and they are the real unsung heroes!
It's just that I suddenly came out of the play when I wrote this...
This place in Guangxi is already a tropical region.
But on the warriors' table, is it not too much to see the green leafy vegetables?
And what's going on with that cabbage? In that era, this thing should be considered a rarity after crossing the Yangtze River, right?
