The phrase "I will not be a deserter" may have long been erased by time in most people's lives, but for Sun Xiaoqi, an ordinary worker in Heilongjiang, this oath has become synonymous with his struggle with fate. He was once a Russian mercenary chasing his dreams on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, but now he is caught in a lonely counterattack, eager to return home and ask for help from the embassy.
The embassy's response was succinct and fair: "This is your personal act. This answer, although it seems fair, pushes Sun Xiaoqi into a deeper desperate situation.
Sun Xiaoqi is not a military master living under protection, but an ordinary person seeking change due to the pressure of survival. When he saw an advertisement for the Wagner Group's mercenary recruitment on the Internet, he inspired his deep military dreams and decided to go to the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield to chase the opportunity of high pay and military training.
However, on the brutal battlefield, his dreams turned into nightmares. The virus has weakened him day by day, and he has begged the Wagner Group to let him return to China for treatment, but he has been met with indifference and refusal. Contracts and agreements have become like waste paper, and he can only ask for help from his relatives in China through WeChat, hoping for attention and assistance from the Chinese government.
However, what is unbelievable is that netizens' calls for help from him did not come as scheduled. His cry in the harsh winter: "There are no medical conditions here! I will die here! There is no medical equipment!" seemed to inspire netizens to question and be puzzled.
In the comments of netizens, a figure named "Dinghe Road Man" and several photos of "Wagner mercenaries" became the focus. Through the investigation of "Dinghe Road Man", I found out that he is actually a character who is famous for his righteous and awe-inspiring poems and the label of "no bad guidance" in the video. This intrigued me, because these labels are usually the clichés of some metaphysical marketing accounts and trio jokers. But in netizens' interpretation of the word "abstract", I found a deeper story.
"Use me in the first battle" and "Use me to win", these abstract slogans appear in the definition of "Dinghe Road People". What is even more surprising is that he actually supported Sun Xiaoqi in a symbolic way.
This aroused the confusion and questions of netizens: "There are no medical conditions here", "I will die here", is it also a clever tactical layout?
In the fragments of the entire thread, it seems that most netizens are cautious about the views of "abstraction" and "support for personal behavior". But under the guidance of the "Dinghe Road Man", everything became more complicated.
This reminds me of a Soviet joke about an old man who fell into a river and ended up getting the attention of the police by shouting "Down with Brezhnev". However, for Sun Xiaoqi, it was as if he had become a criminal who had been symbolically exploited and was once again sent back to the front.
In the netizens' interpretation of the word 'abstract', I suddenly saw a conclusion: "Closed loop!" This reminds me of the retreat plan in the Soviet joke, as if Sun Xiaoqi has no other choice, he is caught in this self-selected dilemma, while others choose to avoid it.
Eventually, he began to advise others: "I advise you to think carefully, you think about war too simply. It is impossible to judge what to look at at these words, because he has taken a path that few people are willing to take a step on.
Theoretically, the embassy's job is to help suffering Chinese citizens, but how does the embassy handle such a personal choice in the face of a man who was once an international mercenary who had already received military training and volunteered to participate in high-intensity modern warfare?
The fundamental reason for 'individual behavior' is that there are no prerequisites, mercenaries are not high-level, but only a labor-employment relationship, and the working environment is even worse and cruel. Embassies may do their best to help Chinese citizens in suffering, but they will not force a person's personal choice.
In this story full of war and hardship, Sun Xiaoqi may be a lonely adventurer who once thought he was
The beneficiary found that the shore of the return was too far to be seen. His experience becomes a complex mystery, a self-chosen ending. This is perhaps a modern fable of dreams, choices, and consequences. In this long and tortuous counterattack, we may be able to draw some profound lessons from it.
