About the war

Down to Gehenna or up to the throne. He travels the fastest who travels alone.

Hope is a dangerous thing. (Sister Dalei sang this sentence, the next sentence is but I have it.)

I watched War Horse five months ago, and in the memo, I wrote: "Life and death, it turned out to be 'luck' - so why did the veterans who came back from the battlefield get merit and glory? It's just luck that passed by by bullets. ."

I said in another paragraph: "Their bodies and spirits were torn apart, their bodies expropriated. Empty bodies charged into battle for an unreachable goal."

Let me refute myself.

From childhood to adulthood, textbooks tell us that Wen Tianxiang and Xin Qiji are national heroes, and that national honor should be placed above individual interests. Until I watched "War Horse" and "All Quiet on the Western Front", and saw that "The Big Shuangxinhe", which I thought was a happy narrative of a field outing when I was a child, was actually the confusion of the post-war generation. Murderers are veterans who miss the killing, and I discovered that war does not give subtle effects, but complete change and destruction. You can see the tremor in my heart, the pain and injustice for those who have no bones, who do not know who to die, and those who survive but carry bright red nightmares.

But today, I suddenly thought of Alsace and Lorraine. I think I was one-sided a few months ago. As far as the aggressors are concerned, the younger generation does not have any spiritual justification for waging war because of their greed and bullying instincts. But when different language systems, different living habits and national characters face erosion and assimilation, they should resist. At this time, the whole called "country" that is becoming more and more distinct should arouse the awareness of survival and crisis in each of them, and no one can stay out of it. The sadness of the emotional level is suppressed, and the reason is driven to move forward unremittingly. This is great.

When I remembered the contents of the "Nanjing Treaty" recited a month ago, my heart was not touched.

You can say that 1,600 lives are not in sight and have nothing to do with me, no pain or itching, why should I work so hard.

But in front of the war, without you and me, only us.

  • Lance Corporal Blake: Sir, the General is sure the enemy have withdrawn. There are aerials of the new line...

    Lieutenant Leslie: Shut up. We've fought and died over every inch of this fucking place, now they suddenly give us miles? It's a trap.

    [Leans in to Schofield]

    Lieutenant Leslie: But, chin up. There's a medal in it for sure. Nothing like a scrap of ribbon to cheer up a widow.

  • Lance Corporal Blake: [Schofield and Blake are in the underground German billet] Bloody hell! Even their rats are bigger than ours.
