For this family, who has lived in seclusion in the forest for more than a decade, the main source of food on weekdays is taken from nature.
Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer food resources in the vicinity, and as the only male in the family, Huang Ganzong has to travel farther and deeper into the forest to forage for food.
On this day, Huang Ganzong collected food in the woods as usual. Following the hare's trail, he came to a small bush, and the two glass bottles lying inside aroused Huang Ganzong's interest.
He picked up the bottle and looked at it, and found that it had the words "Wanli Beer" written on it, and the production place was Nanning, Guangxi! Although he had not seen Chinese for a long time, the Chinese genes engraved in his bones would not let him forget this kind text.
Looking at the familiar mother tongue on the bottle, Huang Ganzong, who had been out of contact with human society for more than ten years, was excited at this moment - he had never heard of Nanning and this beer before.
What does this mean? Standing on Vietnamese soil, Huang Ganzong finally understood that the war of self-defense and counterattack against Vietnam had ended, China had begun to continue the development path of reform and opening up, and normal trade between China and Vietnam had also been carried out.
He can go home.

In the 1970s, Vietnam, which had just ended the War to Resist US Aggression, began to covet China's rich land and resources, and constantly attacked guangxi zhuang autonomous regions, Yunnan province and other places at the border, posing a huge threat to the lives and property of local Chinese people.
With the order of the Central Military Commission, on February 17, 1979, the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam officially began.
In this border conflict, which lasted less than a month, the Chinese People's Liberation Army fought bravely to defend the country. Under the wise leadership of the party, just a dozen days after the beginning of the war, the People's Liberation Army occupied many towns and strongholds in Vietnam.
After destroying many of Vietnam's military personnel and infrastructure, the ENTIRE PEOPLE's Liberation Army completely withdrew from Vietnam on March 15 and resumed consolidating its border defense forces.
During this war, the Chinese People's Liberation Army fully carried forward the spirit of fearlessness, wrote many heroic deeds that can be sung and wept, and more than 140 organizations or individuals have received honorary titles from the Central Military Commission.
In addition to the heroic battles of the army and soldiers, the broad masses of ordinary people also made indelible contributions to the victory of the war. Among them, the local militia in Yunnan is one of the indispensable forces, they are mainly responsible for logistics support and transportation, and have become a solid backing for frontline soldiers.
The Huanggan Sect comes from this folk force.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > captured</h1>
As soon as he heard that the village was gathering a former militia to provide logistics supplies for the People's Liberation Army, Huang Ganzong signed up without even thinking about it.
Born in the era of peace, he has always been full of enthusiasm for defending his family and serving the country. After bidding farewell to his wife and children, Huang Ganzong set out on the road with the large army of the former militia.
That night, Huang Ganzong's troops were resting somewhere in the forest. Suddenly, with the sound of a cannon, the fire suddenly shook the sky, and everyone was awakened from sleep. They suddenly understood that they had been raided by the Vietnamese at night.
The militia itself was mainly responsible for logistical support, lacked sufficient weapons and ammunition, and even fewer people had actual combat experience, and Huang's troops were quickly dispersed.
There was almost no natural light in the forest at night, and with the fire from the guns, Huang Ganzong fled for his life in a panic.
Because the surrounding environment was too complicated and dark, Huang Ganzong, who had escaped, was suddenly tripped by something he didn't know, and then he was hit the head and suddenly passed out.
When he woke up, it was the next day, only to see that his whole body was tied up and down, and he couldn't move. At this moment, two Vietnamese soldiers came to Huang Ganzong, and he fixed his eyes on it and found that the two Vietnamese soldiers in front of him were actually daughters!
After experiencing the War of Resistance Against France and the War of Resistance Against the United States, the total population of Vietnam has been small, and men alone cannot sustain the war between countries. As a result, many Vietnamese women were forcibly recruited and, like men, were sent to the battlefield to kill or be killed.
At this time, the two Vietnamese female soldiers standing in front of Huang Ganzong were whispering something, and Huang Ganzong looked at it and found that the two female soldiers were not very old, and from the appearance and demeanor, they did not look like veterans who had been in the battlefield for a long time.
Immediately after, the two female soldiers began to introduce themselves, one of them was called Li Shiping, the other was called Ruan Shiying (they would Chinese a little), because there were no men available in the village, in order to complete the army's recruitment targets for each village, many women were forcibly recruited into the battlefield.
The two of them did not have much interest in the war of the country, and did not want to die in the depths of the inaccessible forest at a young age, so they became deserters and hid in the vicinity.
Huang Ganzong listened to it and immediately recounted his escape to this place, and said that he had no intention of hurting the two, hoping that they would let him go and return to the motherland. But Li and Ruan did not want to let him go.
It turned out that the fate of being a deserter in Vietnam was very tragic, and neither of them could return to the village for the rest of their lives.
During the days of escaping from the troops, the two had built a simple thatched hut in the woods and decided to spend the rest of their lives in the deep forest far from the inhabited forest.
However, only two women are together, after all, something is missing, and there are many inconveniences in life.
Until Hoang Gan Jong risked death to break into their lives, as if it were a gift from heaven to the two - two Vietnamese female soldiers hoped that Hwang Gan Tsung could stay, never ask about the world, return to the mountains and forests, and live with them. How could Huang Ganzong agree when he heard this, his dearest family was still waiting for his triumphant return from his hometown in Yunnan!
As the days passed, Huang Ganzong did not want to flee back to his hometown for a single day. He was a non-professional militiaman, and in front of two female soldiers with military training, it was difficult to fight with two fists and four hands.
Under the coercion and temptation of two female soldiers, coupled with the complex natural environment of the Vietnamese rainforest and a wide variety of deadly animals and plants, Huang Ganzong gradually lost his strength and waited for the best chance to escape in the future.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > home</h1>
The time comes to 1991, at the beginning of the article, at this time, Huang Ganzong, who holds the "Wanli Beer", has an undercurrent in his heart.
On the one hand, he was very excited to think that even if he rushed out, there would be no Vietnamese army to catch him and he could return to China smoothly; but on the other hand, the so-called one-day husband and wife Bai Ri'en, who had lived with the two sisters Li and Ruan for more than ten years, also had two daughters, and their feelings for them could not be described as deep.
In the end, the love for the motherland and the longing for his family still drove Huang Ganzong to take the first step home. Taking advantage of an opportunity to go out hunting, Huang Ganzong judged the general direction of the motherland and began to rush day and night.
When you are hungry, you will eat some wild fruits and wild game, when you are thirsty, you will drink mountain spring water, and when you are tired, you will find a cool place to take a nap- it can be said that these twelve or three years have been like this.
After three days and three nights of hiking, Huang Ganzong finally crossed the Sino-Vietnamese border and returned to the motherland he loved after more than ten years of absence.
According to the villagers who first discovered him, at that time, Huang Ganzong's whole body was full of hair, and there was almost no clothing to cover his body, and he sneaked out of the woods and escaped a contemporary savage alive.
With the help of the villagers, Huang Ganzong finally returned to his hometown in Yunnan. Huang Ganzong, standing at the entrance of the village, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar village in front of him, and his mood was very complicated. It wasn't until he pushed open the door of his house and called for his family that his hanging heart fell to the ground.
It turned out that since the disappearance of Huang Ganzong in the Battle of 1979, the family had been inquiring about him everywhere, and only after a few years did they gradually accept the fact that he may have died in battle.
At that time, the vast majority of the militia were fellow villagers, and the comrades who survived the encounter heard that Huang Ganzong had returned home alive after thirteen years and came to visit them.
While congratulating the family on their final reunion, they also wanted to hear how Huang Ganzong had come to be in the past ten years.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > imperfection is perfection</h1>
The later story is like the end of a novel with a slight regret. After the death of his wife, Huang Ganzong opened a small shop on the border between China and Vietnam, doing a small business on the border.
Some say he opened shops on the border to find out more about the two female soldiers. In fact, as early as the 1990s, the reporter of Nanning Evening News had interviewed Huang Ganzong himself face-to-face on this magical experience.
Huang Ganzong said that in fact, after returning to China, he very much wanted to bring the two sisters Li and Ruan to Yunnan and spend the rest of their lives together. After all, the three of them have lived together in the rainforest for more than ten years, and they have spent countless ups and downs together.
With defeated militia on one side and war-weary female soldiers on the other, these two wonderful identities finally come together. Even though it may have been hostile at first, in the complex and dangerous rainforest, they only had each other, and had little contact with anyone else during this time.
They were all victims of the barbaric war of aggression waged by the Vietnamese government, and they were supposed to live in their respective villages with their friends and relatives in the countryside.
But it is precisely because of this war that three people from different countries and different identities met, so that their stories have been passed down to this day. It is understood that until Huang Ganzong's final death, he could not get a single bit of information about the two sisters, Li and Ruan.
Perhaps, after Huang left, the two female soldiers continued to live in the woods, supporting themselves; perhaps, they also learned the news of the end of the war, returned to human society, and raised the descendants of Huang Ganzong.
As time goes on, people leave, and fewer and fewer people will know about this old story. Eventually, everything will turn into a fine grain of sand in the rolling red dust of history, floating in the wind and disappearing.
After the gunshots, there was no winner. War is always cruel, and what ordinary soldiers and civilians can only bring is endless disaster and suffering.
Today, I would like to share with you this past that occurred in the war, which is enough to comfort people's hearts, and I also hope that everyone can experience the cold and warmth of human feelings in cruelty, and draw flames and light in the cold.
There is only one kind of heroism in the world, that is, after seeing the truth of life, still love life.
