On the Korean battlefield, a group of American troops was about to be surrounded by our volunteer army, and the Us army tried to break through, and at the critical time of the exchange of fire, suddenly a voice sounded "Don't fire, I am Chinese."
When the volunteers suddenly heard the words of their compatriots, they looked very stunned and stopped shooting when they were confused.
Just at this moment, the shouters threw grenades, killing and injuring many volunteers, and the US military took advantage of the crucial few seconds to concentrate its fire to carry out overwhelming fire, killing and wounding many of our compatriots, and successfully broke through.
The caller was Lu Chaoran, a Chinese American soldier who was a second lieutenant platoon leader at the time.
Lü Chaoran, who immigrated to California from Guangdong with his father in 1920, returned to China as an adult, met a woman through blind dates, and married her.
In 1944, Lu joined the U.S. Marine Corps. However, due to severe racial discrimination, Lü Chaoran has not been able to participate in the battle, and he has always been eager to be promoted by establishing military merit.
In 1950, Lü Chaoran was able to enter Korea with the army.
Although he participated in the battle as he wished, although he was also a platoon leader, the discrimination that Lü Chaoran suffered in the US army remained unchanged, and his comrades did not trust this yellow-skinned and black-haired man very much.
Lu Chaoran knew that he had to do something to change the status quo.
Lu Chaoran this guy was on the battlefield, that is jumping up and down, desperately.
Taking advantage of his appearance and language, he carried out reconnaissance missions many times, and in the process of reconnaissance, he found out many of our army's dark posts, and then led the US army to remove these dark posts.
On the battlefield, Lü Chaoran was wounded and hospitalized many times, and once he was seriously injured, he could have been sent back to the rear to recuperate.
But Lu Chaoran did not want to go back, this rare war was a time to change his fate, this guy was not willing to give up.
Lü Chaoran's many positive actions, as well as the later sentence "Don't fire, I am Chinese", finally let our army know the existence of such a shameless person, and how many compatriots' lives withered in his hands.
Unfortunately, he was not killed, but only seriously injured. This time he was seriously injured, and had to let Lu Chaoran return to the rear for recuperation.
In 1968, Lü Chaoran only retired with the rank of major, at this time he had not yet received future honors, just an ordinary retired soldier.
A few years later, a turning point occurred, and while filming the documentary "Extraordinary Courage: Chosin Breakout", the staff remembered Lu Chaoran while looking for material.
In the documentary, Lu Chaoran said frankly that it was I who shouted "don't fire, I am Chinese" in time, which won a valuable breakthrough opportunity for the US military.
A yellow-skinned Chinese, although he has a Chinese bloodline, but in the face of American interests, he does not hesitate to choose to fight for the United States and ruthlessly shoots people with the same blood as himself. Americans are certainly happy to hear such inspirational and touching stories.
Therefore, after the packaging and rendering of the media, Lu Chaoran finally got the recognition of the Americans and became a hero of the United States. After becoming famous, he talked about his "heroic deeds" on different occasions, and every time he won the applause of Americans.
I'm so ashamed!
After reading this article, there will definitely be people who wash the floor for Lu Chaoran.
"He's a soldier, he's Chinese, he's fighting for America, there's nothing wrong with that"
"From the American point of view, he is indeed a hero, and he is not Chinese, what is wrong?"
Killing Chinese as your own in exchange for the approval of other countries, among the high society, I yawn! I am not so noble, I am just a layman, I am not used to this shameless villain behavior.
And he has repeatedly publicized his deeds in public, not ashamed, but proud, simply do not face to the extreme.
In 2014, Lu Chaoran died of illness, and after his death, he had no children and no daughters.
Finally, I quote his original words, which he considers to be "glorious" acts:
We were surrounded by opposing troops, bullets were pouring down on our heads, and we were unable to complete the plan for a breakout. We couldn't see the opponent's position clearly, so we were very passive. At the critical moment, taking advantage of the gap between one shot, I stood up and shouted: Don't fire, I am Chinese! The opponents were completely confused, and some of them also stepped forward, exposing their position. Then we seized the opportunity to shoot at our opponents, causing them a lot of casualties, and finally we succeeded and broke out of their encirclement.
