In the war-torn era, a founding general named Wang Fuzhi shouldered the heavy responsibility of acting as the division commander, and faced a life-and-death struggle in the war with his comrades-in-arms.
The late summer and early autumn of 1952 was a period full of gunsmoke and silence for Wang Fuzhi and his comrades. They were in positions east of the Jinjiang River, facing the test of life and death brought about by the war. In a sudden bombardment, the top of the cave collapsed instantly, burying Wang Fuzhi and his staff officers deep inside. In the darkness, they face threats to their lives and unknown fate.
The three people trapped in the cave are like dust forgotten by time, facing heavy oppression and dark confusion. Their bodies were crushed by heavy stones, and every breath felt like a struggle against death. However, in such a desperate situation, Wang Fuzhi did not give up hope. He heard the faint sound of mosquitoes and flies, and realized that there were others trapped in the darkness like him.
Those two flies seemed to be messengers of fate, and their existence became the only voice of life for Wang Fuzhi and his comrades. Even in the dead silence of the space, their hum echoed, becoming a reason for them to persevere. Wang Fuzhi began to move his body with all his might, trying to find a glimmer of life. His comrades-in-arms were also infected by this indomitable spirit and began to try to move the stones.
In this struggle, time seems to lose its meaning. Their bodies gradually weakened, but the fire in their hearts grew hotter. Wang Fuzhi always maintained his optimism, constantly encouraging his comrades-in-arms, telling them that the organization must have known their situation and that someone must be looking for them outside. His words are like a beacon to guide them forward, so that they will not give up hope in the darkness.
Just as they were about to give up, the two flies reappeared. Their hum echoed through the dead space, as if to tell them that the will to live was so tenacious. Even the slightest sign of life can be a reason to keep going.
In this desperate situation, Wang Fuzhi and his comrades-in-arms proved the tenacity and indomitability of human life with their will and courage. At this moment when life and death are intertwined, the lives of Wang Fuzhi and his comrades-in-arms seem to have received new hope. In that long, dark wait, they used almost all their strength, and their survival was like a race against time. The headquarters of the Volunteer Army in the outside world has launched an all-out rescue operation, and General Peng Dehuai's words seem to be an order falling from the sky echoing in the ears of every volunteer soldier: "No matter what, we must rescue them." In that cave full of despair, Wang Fuzhi and his comrades-in-arms did not know that the outside world was fighting for them, and their lives were like wind chimes hanging on a thin thread, which could fall at any time.
But just when they were about to give up, the outside world gave them a miracle, on the morning of August 3, when the bombing sound of enemy planes sounded again, the soldiers of the volunteer army did not flinch, but fought back more firmly, in this moment of life and death, the lives of Wang Fuzhi and his comrades-in-arms seemed to have gained new hope, just when they were almost unconscious, the comrades-in-arms outside finally found their traces, the two flies flew out of the gap in the cave at some point, and became the key clue to guide the rescue team, at this critical moment, Wang Fuzhi and his comrades-in-arms were miraculously rescued, and Wang Fuzhi after the rescue had a deeper understanding and emotion of lifeRemembering that it was those two flies that gave him hope in his most desperate moments, and since then Wang Fuzhi has never fought flies again, for him, these tiny lives have become an indispensable part of his life.
After the war, Wang Fuzhi finally had the opportunity to return to his hometown, the boy who had left home at the age of 12 to join the army, is now a white-haired veteran, his reunion with his father was full of emotion and tears, in front of his father, he knelt down to express his years of unfilial piety and inner guilt, Wang Fuzhi's life was full of legends, but in his opinion, the 38-hour experience was the most thrilling moment in his life, and it was that experience that made him cherish every breath and every moment even more.
Today, Wang Fuzhi is one of the few living founding generals. He is not only a memory of war, but also a hymn to the perseverance of life. In his heart, those two flies were not only the saviors of his life, but also an eternal part of his life. This is a life-and-death contest, a war that makes people think more deeply about life.
