"If you don't see the enemy, you don't pull the strings"
A line has influenced generations, for many netizens after the 80s and 90s, the first contact with movies when they were children was mostly through the black and white curtain played in the village, and whenever a movie was played, they would wait early.
Many red-themed movies are presented to the audience in this way, including "Mine War".
In order to deal with the enemy in the movie, the soldiers have developed a variety of mines, and the strange ways always make the enemy suffer, and the bombed enemy cannot find the north, because a lot of comedy is added to the movie, which is very popular for children.
Now 60 years have passed since the premiere of this movie, with the progress of the times, there are more and more film and television works on the theme of the anti-war category, such a simple way as "mine warfare" can no longer meet the brain hole of the director and screenwriter, divine dramas abound, and the era of "Mine War" has passed.

Many years have passed now, and there is very little coverage in the media.
Yulan (played by Lu Jae-yun)
The heroine in the play, because Zhao Hu studied hair thunder, there was a little misunderstanding, and later saw that Zhao Hu was using hair to make a new type of landmine, so she cut off her beloved big braid and gave it to Zhao Hu.

God rewarded food, after Yang Yaqin became popular with "Mine War", many directors also found her to film, and in 1965 "Bitter Cauliflower" became popular all over the country and became a popular star.
Since then, she has successively starred in dramas such as "Youth Like Fire", "The Second Spring" and "Xizi Girl" and became more and more popular, and in the 50s and 80s, she became one of the most representative actresses in the mainland film industry with Liu Xiaoqing and Wang Xiaotang, with unlimited scenery.
Career was smooth sailing, but emotionally frustrated repeatedly, left a last word of "no one loves me" on the occasion of his death, and died of depression.
The first husband was arranged by the family, no love, did not understand each other, Yang Yaqin after marriage longed for the husband and wife Qin Se and Ming, there was a common topic, but the old-fashioned husband only wanted his wife to be able to inherit the family and take care of the family, the husband and wife were like partners, there was no common language, and they divorced when they gave birth to their daughter less than a year old.
Yang Yaqin's second husband is his fan, from Hong Kong and worth a lot, he knows Yang Yaqin's preferences very well, and the two have endless words together.
Under the offensive of sweet words, Yang Yaqin gave up her career in the mainland and followed her husband to Hong Kong to develop, but the marriage was not as happy as imagined, and finally the marriage ended in divorce again.

Captain of the traitor (played by Mou Changling)
The merchant who pretended to be a picker went to the village to collect information, met the sentry children's group member Tiedan, and got the phrase "don't see the devil and don't pull the string" from his mouth.

"If there are fewer devils, we will do it, and if there are more devils, we will turn, hide in the secret to shoot cold guns, bury mines and look at it from afar, the ghosts are bombed and beaten, and a single figure cannot be seen", it was Dayong who said this line.

Er Man (played by Tian Zhixia)
The female number two in the play, the scene of knocking off the traitor's straw hat, became a sassy and sassy posture in one go, which left a deep impression on the audience.
Actor Tian Zhixia, only starred in this movie, there are few reports on it in the media, some netizens once broke the news that he was a teacher at the Tianjin Drama Theater, died of lupus erythematosus around 1986, and died very young.
Of course, in addition to these actors, there are many actors in "Mine War", but because the network was not developed at that time, there were few relevant reports in the media, and most of them could not find relevant information.
Although today's anti-Japanese war themed film and television works such as "King Kong River" and "Eight Hundred" are still outdated, for the audience of that era, the memories and happiness brought by a "mine war" are far better than today.
