"Your shadow has crossed the line." The North Korean sergeant Wu Jingbi who was on duty made a joke to the South Korean sergeant Li Shouhe, who had become a friend across the 38th parallel. In fact, this was a kind of dissatisfaction expressed by the director, and it was to expose the current state of the country. state of division.
