Return me to be true, good, and beautiful, and return me to be a hero
A film created and written by Chinese Americans and carefully created by famous domestic directors and famous domestic directors, "Fanghua" was finally staged in a chaotic drum noise. For a time, while reaping extremely high box office, it also received two very different reviews.
For "Fanghua", praise or accusation, as long as you buy tickets into the cinema, the purpose of the screenwriter and director will be achieved.
Kind Chinese people see the truth, goodness and beauty through the pictures of the actor's face and beautiful chest and thigh white photography height? See the real hero? Or ask yourself: What else do you see?
I see it. I see that "Fanghua" is not a film that carries forward positive energy and sings the main theme! Its background against the vietnam war is a gimmick is a blasphemy against the division of justice; the use of red hat emblems and green military uniforms to steal the simple feelings of old soldiers; the face is beautiful and crisp, the chest is white and the thighs hide the ugly soul; the pursuit of box office scandalization of military personnel attacking the government system is the purpose of the director. Praising "Fanghua" is undoubtedly the sadness of the Chinese people!
The 61S I once performed was the unit that participated in the war that year, and I will first talk about comrade Niu Xianmin, the hero of the "Pan Gut War", who is the real hero.
On the night of July 23, 1986, Niu Xianmin and the squad leader braved the rain to hold on to post 6 of position -17. That night, the cunning Vietnamese took advantage of the heavy rain to sneak into our position. At 21:43, a squad of the enemy came to our position in three directions. When Niu Xianmin and the squad leader found out, they threw bombs at the enemy first and opened fire first. The sound of gunfire awakened the other comrades resting in the cat's ear hole, and everyone quickly occupied a favorable position to resist the enemy attack. During the battle, a grenade thrown by the enemy exploded next to Niu Xianmin, his abdomen exploded, and a sticky intestine flowed out. In order not to affect the emotions of the other comrades in the class, Niu Xianmin gritted his teeth and stuffed his intestines into it, and continued to fight with everyone against the enemy's attack. After the class had repelled three enemy attacks, he fainted inside the battle fortifications. The squad leader and his comrades learned that he had been wounded and used the gap between battles to carry him into the cat ear hole. With the help of faint lights, the comrades found 17 wounds on Niu Xianmin's body. The heaviest wound was a 9 cm long from which the intestines flowed out and were stuffed back. Blood stained the uniform red, and rain poured down the wound into the abdominal cavity.
The Bai Ling military doctor made an emergency treatment of Niu Xianmin's abdominal wound and reported to the battalion commander by telephone. Because of the mudslide about one meter deep in the communication trench to the -17 position, the stretcher carried the cattle ancestors, which was not only difficult to walk, but also full of danger. Because the mines would also roll into the traffic trenches with the mudslide, a stretcher team of 8 Communists, led by Platoon Leader Yang Yi, braved heavy rain and the enemy's cold guns and cold guns, regardless of their own lives, and walked for more than 8 hours on the original less than an hour's journey before sending niu Xianmin down the mountain. Because the Baishiya Bridge was washed away by the flood, the two levels of the division and regiment adopted the method of relay to buy time to send him to the division hospital for surgery. The doctor cleaned the muddy water that went into his abdominal cavity, cut off 40 centimeters of intestines, and the 183rd Regiment Commander Li and other comrades-in-arms transfused blood on the spot to save his life. After Niu Xianmin's operation, the intra-abdominal infection was serious, and he had symptoms of kidney failure many times, but he almost killed him.
In recognition of his heroic deeds, the Central Military Commission awarded him the honorary title of "Hero of Battle" after the war.
The appearance of each hero is not accidental, it is the result of the long-term cultivation of other people's character and ideological awareness skills, and it is by no means produced by a momentary emotional impulse.
Behind every hero is a group of heroes.
Let me talk about truth, goodness and beauty. The greatest truth of Chinese soldiers is their infinite loyalty to the motherland, and at the crucial moment when the country's security is at stake in the face of the enemy's invasion, as long as the motherland is called, it will certainly pounce on the battlefield without hesitation. On the battlefield of our division's war against Vietnam, the hundred and ten female soldiers formed the "Line of Fire Women's Ambulance Team", "Line of Fire Women's Propaganda Team", and "Line of Fire Women's Service Team". There was a 17-year-old male soldier, who was seriously injured in the battle, and when he was dying, he muttered to the female soldier who rescued him: "Sister, I want you to kiss me", and the female soldier did not hesitate to kiss the little hero with deep affection and tears, so that he closed his eyes safely. This is the most primitive and authentic display of human nature, this is the most noble and pure deep love in the world, this kiss, this love, this love, it is really earth-shattering! Isn't it more noble and more humane than the sneaky clasp between the man and the woman in the film? Isn't it more true, good and beautiful than the face and breasts and beautiful legs? Isn't it more fragrant than "Fanghua"?
I also want to say a few words to the famous director, the famous director, after all, you are a famous director, with your talent and experience, you can no longer shoot a "Garland Under the Mountain" or the Chinese style "Saving Private Ryan"? Even if you can't, you can't make americans write what you want! Moreover, you have also been a soldier, even if the army has been unfair to you, you must also take care of the feelings of a group of real soldiers.
I am also anxious that the status of military personnel is not respected by society, the relatives of martyrs are not well pacified, and the veterans who participated in the war do not get the care they deserve, but you have rendered the internal relations within the army so complicated, the comrades-in-arms are deceitful, and the heroes are so produced.
Watching "Fanghua" on the winter solstice, there is another bone-chilling cold.

Taste good words
After I stepped down from the leadership position, there were fewer and fewer social activities, and more and more good words were heard in my ears.
All this stems from the recent writing of several humble articles, which have been published in publications such as Reader, Overseas Digest, Selected Essays, Northwest Military Literature, Guangming Daily, Shaanxi Daily, and several prose poems are even hung on the home page of the western portal website Shaanxi Cultural Industry Network. As a result, the landline phone that has been silent for a long time rings frequently, the sms prompt sound of the mobile phone is constantly jingling, and the WeChat is even more liked. Words of praise, encouragement, compliments, and exclamations are endless, and all that is heard and seen is good. What surprised me even more was that the old comrades-in-arms who had been missing for decades came to see me from thousands of miles away according to the bits and pieces of information found in the text; the old comrades-in-arms who were far away in Jiangsu saw wensi people express delivery to the local souvenirs; the lover's girlfriend came to the home to ask for a collection of signed essays, which was really lively for a while.
You say that it is okay to have a small sense of accomplishment, he says that it is enough to satisfy a little vanity, in short, listening to good words is always pleasant and pleasant.
Immersed in the crowd of people saying good things, he floated his legs to Xiaozhai Shizi and poured into the bustling crowd of people coming from south to north. Suddenly a familiar voice sounded in my ears: Hey! I heard you're writing prose now? I looked up and saw a dude I hadn't seen in years. This old man has always called himself a pen holder in the original unit, and it is said that the pen head is very hard! He was dismissive of the general manuscript. Before I could get back to god, I just listened to him continue: Don't think that writing a few words is an article, and don't think that writing a few articles is prose! Prose is not so easy to write! Hearing this, I only felt a little chill on my back, some fine beads of sweat appeared on my forehead, and my gaze moved from his arrogant face to my toes, and involuntarily a sentence came out of my mouth: Then how do you say that prose should be written? Then he listened reverently to the guidance of this high man, but for half a day there was no echo, only the faint sound of rat poison being sold in the distance. I looked up and saw that the brother was long gone, and quickly turned around and chased after him with his legs open in the direction he was going, but he almost rolled out of bed--it turned out to be a noon dream.
The dream of waking up and drowsiness is gone, lying on the bed and recalling these good words of what I have seen and heard.
Thinking about it carefully, it is the tradition of our nation to say good things when we meet people. The old ancestors had an ancient saying: three good words should be money; good words are warm to the three winters, and bad words are added to the cold in June. This is talking about the cause and effect of saying good things. There are also: there are three words to say, and it is wonderful to say cleverly. This is a talking skill, something that belongs to the technical level, but it is also a good thing. This concept extends to the field of commodities, very bitter pills are coated with a layer of sugar coating, you no longer frown when you eat it, but swallow it smoothly into the stomach; even if it is colorless and tasteless potato chips, it must be wrapped with sweet and sour, spicy, cumin and different flavor juices, stimulating your taste buds, inducing your banknotes to brush out of your pockets!
In a lifetime, people always have to do one or two articles and accomplish one or two things. Once it is done, it is not only your own, but also belongs to the society, and the good or bad is left to people to comment.
From this I further savored a lot of good things that people said about my humble writing.
Saying hello may be really good. But it's not too good to be true. Maybe it's a scene in your article that he's experienced and caused emotional resonance; maybe a few words in your article touched the softest part of his heart and made him feel mixed; maybe it was a sentence in your article that plucked the string that he had been silent for many years, thus making a pleasant sound, and the sound was transformed into a word: Good! All this, in the final analysis, is really well written by your article.
Saying hello may be really saying yes. Really good people, it may be your old leader, discovering your new strengths as a new one. Saying hello is affirmation, praise, encouragement and encouragement, and your progress makes him feel proud and can't help but praise. It could also be your old friend, "The Lover's Eyes Out of the West"! He knows your past and present very well, and is very convinced of your behavior in the world, these friends, in personality, will not be dwarfed, obscene, unsound, in behavior will not be contrived, false, in the handling of things will not be inconsistent, self-deception, he will not hesitate to say what he is optimistic about. It may also be that your old subordinates have always admired you in the past, and even appreciated your help, and they naturally feel very kind when they see your words, and some of your speeches have lit up a heart lamp in the depths of his soul and illuminated his gray world, and at this time he will certainly praise you without thinking.
Saying hello may not really be saying good. There are people outside the people, there are heavens outside the sky, there are more people in this world than you, people who are stronger than you, people who are taller than you, how can they easily say hello? There are also some people who are born to see the thickness of rice in other people's bowls, and say a good word about people, for fear of dwarfing themselves. But for the sake of face, or for the sake of elegance, you will also say a good word perfunctorily, but you must not take it seriously. Or even you usually think that you are the most familiar and best friend, maybe because you make some unexpected movements, you are still uncomfortable! One day on the road, I met an acquaintance, the meeting is very polite, not only nodded his head, but also tried to squeeze out a smile, said: Your prose I read, indeed well written ah! I said: Really? Have you seen it? He didn't answer and went away. I think people gave us encouragement, how can we say "thank you"! So I turned around to add the word "thank you", but unexpectedly I saw that he was also turning back at this time, gritting his teeth at my back! I had to swallow the word "thank you" into my stomach along with the acid that flooded my throat.
In fact, after a work is published, it is sometimes not important to say good or bad, and often time has become the gold standard for testing the quality of the work. I remember that in 1993, Mr. Jia Pingwa wrote a novel called "Waste Capital", and when it was first published, the praise and insults went hand in hand, saying that the good ones said that they were contemporary "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "Golden Plum Bottle", which had extremely high literary value; the cursers denigrated them as obscene books and bad books, saying that they were poisonous snakes and beasts; what is more, during the day, they scolded their books in public, but at night they hid in the bed and loved them. This work, which was quickly classified as a banned book, won the famous Fermina Literary Prize in France in 1997, and was republished a few years after being banned for 16 years. From this I think, how much sense does it make to say that it was good or bad at that time?
Mr. Mu Tao, winner of the Lu Xun Literature Prize, said: Writing essays, you can say five sentences, which is almost a first-class article. These five sentences are: speak people's words, tell the truth, say homely words, say pertinent words, and say things with personality and level. I think this can be used as a criterion for judging the quality of prose. An article is written and published, people will always comment, the key is that the author himself must have concentration, when he hears a good word, he does not think that it is too good to be oblivious, and when he hears it is not good, he thinks that he is useless and vain - just step by step.
That's the little taste I get from the good things I hear.

Doklam, I want to tell you quietly
Doklam, you've survived!
The whole world finally breathed a sigh of relief for you, the Chinese people put the heart hanging in the throat back into the stomach, I am more proud of you, praise for you!
On the afternoon of August 28, Xinhua News Agency released a message: The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced: At about 14:30 on August 28, the Indian side will withdraw all personnel and equipment from the border to the Indian side of the border, and the Chinese on-site personnel have confirmed this, and the Chinese side will continue to exercise its sovereign rights and safeguard its territorial sovereignty in accordance with the provisions of the historical boundary treaty.
"Soldier who yields without fighting", this is the wisdom of the old ancestors in the more than 2500 years ago theoretical refinement, unfortunately, for hundreds of years, the Chinese people can only understand it literally, and this time, you are using Kunlun as the background to Take Doklam as the stage, interpreting and interpreting what is the real "soldier who surrenders without fighting" with actions.
China has finally straightened its spine, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also hardened its nerves, and Doklam has indeed grown a face for its people. If Doklam is like a "persimmon", India just stuck out a finger and touched it this time, trying to be soft and hard. If it is a "soft persimmon", it is easy to pinch. It turned out to be a "hard persimmon", but he was still ready to throw out his fist and smash it. Later, as time went on, it seemed to find out that it was an "iron persimmon" or even a "steel persimmon", and had to retract its fingers helplessly.
Although the fingers retracted, the fists were still clenched.
Anyone in this world can breathe a sigh of relief, but you Doklam must not relax, not only can you not relax, but you must also drum up, think deeply, and prepare for battle in a down-to-earth manner.
The Doklam incident is printed to curb the realization of the "Chinese Dream". Obstructing China's economic development is undoubtedly a strategic choice for India. The area of the earth is so large, it will not increase, there will be so many resources, it will not grow again, there will be so many benefits, who does not want to have more points? Otherwise, President Xi Jinping just put forward the "Chinese Dream", Modi immediately proposed the "Indian Dream", President Xi proposed the "Belt and Road", India launched the "Spice Road" and "Monsoon Plan", Beijing successfully held the "Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit Forum, just a week later, India hosted the African Development Bank Conference, which attracted more than 80 countries to participate. In particular, the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which we are leading, is located in kashmir, which not only touches India's strategic pain points, but also easily ignites the flame of its national sentiment.
The Doklam incident is a reproduction of India's political expansionist ambitions. India declared its independence from colonial rule just 70 years ago. Over the past 70 years, successive Indian governments have continuously inherited their political ambitions to expand their territory, and have repeatedly succeeded, and its total land area has not decreased, but also created several vassal states, each of which is known as a protectorate. I will not repeat this as I have said above. The withdrawal of Doklam this time can only be said to be that its ability is not enough to support its ambitions. I dare not assert that there will be a war between China and India in the future, but I can be sure that the struggle between China and India over development interests will never stop, which stems not only from the geopolitics in which the two countries are located, but also from the political traditions, history, culture and national sentiments of the two countries. Even the temporary tranquility of Doklam implies and marks the beginning of a more fierce battle between China and India.
The spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense had a sentence this time, "We remind the Indian side to learn a lesson from this incident," and it was this sentence that stimulated my nerves in writing this article. To be fair, it is said that it is its business that Indians do not listen to and learn and do not learn lessons. But, Doklam, I want to tell you quietly, don't you have a lesson to learn?
Everything is done for the whole thing. Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a corner. It's hard for me to say that your direction is heavy or not, important or unimportant will change with time and conditions. As far as the present is concerned, the direction of the Taiwan Strait is undoubtedly the most important, and it should be ranked first in the national strategic concern; as long as "Taiwan independence" dares to "cross the line," the strength of the country must be recovered; secondly, the peninsula, once the peninsula is in turmoil, it will not be able to take action without taking a shot; you are similar to the South China Sea, about a grade; the Diaoyu Islands will have to lean back a little if they make trouble.
Think of the problem like this, try not to make the finger egg big thing bigger.
Everything is predetermined. There are no small things on the border line, and in most cases, they are all involved. According to international law, it is also possible according to common sense, and it is understandable for a country to build roads and outposts on its own territory, but you have to think about the concerns of its neighbors. Since it is relevant, it must develop a plan to deal with concerns and be prepared to deal with them. Acting hastily will cause passivity, and if Mars is not pinched out in time, it will only cause greater passivity.
Public opinion is the guide. Our media don't keep running behind other people's butts. Compared with the Diaoyu Island incident and the Doklam incident more than a decade ago, the rationality of the Chinese people has been greatly improved. Think about when the Diaoyu Islands incident occurred, some people marched and protested, in addition to burning a few cars bought by ordinary people out of their pockets, they damaged a single hair of the Japanese nation? In this Doklam incident, there are all kinds of voices, some blindly lightly shouting and fighting, some are afraid of the lord of war, some are even very dismissive of the concept of sovereign territory, and some even hold up the benevolent classic of "let it be three feet and why not", thinking that it is not just a simple Doklam, is not it a hundred and ten meters across the border, and dozens of people have come? Why should we make a big fuss about this and hurt the lives of the people and affect the overall situation of stable development? According to this view, the Chinese government around 1840 also cut the land and lost silver for the benefit of the people? No wonder that when we took back Hong Kong 20 years ago, when we saw a bustling area of Hong Kong, a very few people actually thought that the land leased to britain was small, and the export was crazy: How good it would be to rent out even Guangzhou at that time!
Prepare well. "War is about the founding of a country and the founding of a country, and without the victory of war, a country cannot survive. Any great nation must take the victory of the war as its starting point and eternal cornerstone." Looking at the history of Chinese and foreign nation-building, which country did not play out? Unless it is incompetent, it can only be neutral or a vassal of a powerful country. Not to mention the country, even Shennongjia, the territory where groups of monkeys in Mount Emei live, is also fought by the monkey kings who beat their heads once a year. To safeguard national sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, it is all the more necessary to be backed by solid combat preparations.
It is true that India's withdrawal of troops is the result of the comprehensive use of various forces, such as the precise strategic judgment, determination, and will of the leading figures, which is undoubtedly one or two thousand pounds, the use of comprehensive national strength, the rotation of diplomatic mediation, the guidance of public opinion, and the solid response in military operations, so that the Doklam incident can be resolved without bloodshed.
I am a retired soldier, and when the Doklam incident subsides, I can only focus on whispering to Doklam from my professional point of view.
