Mr. Yang took a sip of wine, his eyes slightly smoky.
An Jianwu sat by the window and looked at the drizzle, his eyes slightly cloudy.
The third episode of "That Rabbit That Year" was playing on the big screen not far away.
The animation attempts to use a humorous and understated way to tell the story of the conditions encountered by the volunteer soldiers during those years of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea.
But reality is never a few light dialogues in animation.
A gust of wind blew outside the window, causing Mr. Yang's empty sleeves to flutter slightly. He glanced subconsciously, and it seemed as if bursts of gunfire sounded in his ears...
"Don't drool, your saliva will freeze..."
"Dear, your tears are frozen..."
"Don't worry about these details. How long will it take before the attack is launched?"
"Four more hours."
"Watch out for lurking!"
"It can be done."
"..."
Mr. Yang heard the dialogue in the animation.
Then, he looked at the big screen.
I saw two rabbits crouching in the snow.
In a daze, a series of memories emerged in my mind, vague at first, and then slowly became clear.
Vaguely, he heard the biting wind whistling in his ears, and the chill seemed to penetrate into his bones, as if everything in the world was frozen.
The soldiers were wearing thin cotton clothes, crawling in the wind and snow, waiting for the charge horn to sound at any time.
Time passed little by little, and some soldiers gradually lost consciousness. They knew that if they moved their bodies a little bit, they would warm up a little, but they held back forcefully.
They hold guns and their eyes always seem to be looking into the distance.
"Dear, the time has come, let's go, kiss? Uh?"
"..."
"..."
"relative?"
In the animation.
Mr. Yang saw a rabbit standing up, and when he was greeting his companions, he suddenly froze.
The cold wind mixed with the heavy snow. In the heavy snow, the other rabbit had been buried by the wind and snow, and had lost its voice.
The rabbit who was still talking to him four hours ago is now...
I can't get up anymore.
The rabbit lowered his head, twitched his body, and shed two lines of tears, but then wiped them away immediately.
"Tears, tears will also be frozen!"
After saying this, he stood up.
The familiar piano sound of "Chasing Dreams" sounded again.
The screen dimmed slightly, and then a line of blood-red text appeared.
【Thank you for everything you have given!】
Later, Rabbit picked up the Charge on the ground.
The screen dimmed again, and then another text appeared.
【us
happiness
And grateful]
The charge horn sounded.
Amidst the blasts of attacking horns, rabbits hidden in the wind and snow slowly poked their heads out and stood up, holding guns and running resolutely forward...
Along the way, some rabbits remained hidden in the snow and remained motionless.
It's not that I'm being lazy, or that I didn't hear the horn, but...
They can't stand up anymore.
"Dear friends, our slogan is to specialize in making eagle sauce, no pain, no small money..."
It's a very humorous sentence, and the animation tries to dilute the sadness and depression on the battlefield.
but……
Mr. Yang's body twitched slightly.
Touched, uncomfortable, determined, angry!
He couldn't help but stood up, his body straight, his eyes were already cloudy, and then, with his remaining hand, he saluted the animation.
In fact, the scene is a bit funny.
A veteran who served in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea would actually salute such an animation...
However, no one laughed at him.
An Jianwu also stood up and saluted at the same time.
Of course it’s not a tribute to animation…
Rather, I pay tribute to that era and the comrades who came back from that era, or who may not come back.
……………………
In the melody of "Chasing Dreams", old photos appeared again in everyone's sight.
Tang Xiao was already crying.
An Zhibin still sat upright, but his face could no longer maintain that calmness...
My throat seemed to be blocked by something, which was very uncomfortable.
A foreign object also got into my eye, and I couldn't help but wipe it, but the more I wiped it, the redder it became, and the more I wiped it, the redder it became...
Looking at the old photos, he clearly understood how difficult peace was.
"If it weren't for these ancestors, we would probably be like Ira*, in the chaos of war, and worried every day..."
Tang Xiao murmured to himself.
An Zhibin closed his eyes, feeling lost for a moment.
"You cried?"
Tang Xiao felt that An Zhibin had not responded for a long time, so he looked at An Zhibin, and then stared at him as if he had discovered a new world.
An Zhibin didn't respond, just opened his eyes. Although they were full of red bloodshot eyes, there was no tear.
He had seen too much life and death on the battlefield, and was used to seeing many cruel and sad scenes. His heart was already as solid as a rock...
Even though I feel a little emotional and a little sad, I won't cry like Tang Xiao did.
"Don't be nervous, just cry if you want to! Come on, let me lend you some support..."
War reporter Tang Xiao was crying, but he pulled An Zhibin away with a smile, and then made a gesture of opening his hands.
"ill!"
An Zhibin glanced at Tang Xiao and said this.
"Hold on, let's see how long you can hold on..."
After seeing that An Zhibin ignored him, Tang Xiao shrugged, then stood up and brought a box of tissues.
"Those Things About That Rabbit That Year" made me cry so much.
soon.
Episode 4 starts playing automatically.
The fourth episode is still the scene of the battle between Rabbit and Eagle Sauce, but now Eagle Sauce is very well-equipped and bombards the hills repeatedly, as if he wants to level the mountains in front of him.
The rabbits are hiding in the cave.
The 38th Parallel sign fell to the ground, as if it had been trampled, full of scars.
【Don't say it's unforeseen】These words on the card look extremely ironic.
The wounded were holding cups, but there was no water in them, only pebbles shaken from the cave.
Lack of food, lack of water, lack of weapons...
In a battle, the most deadly situations were all encountered by Rabbit.
It's hard to believe that under such desperate circumstances, the rabbit would be the winner in this war.
In the cave...
“It’s so annoying to hear the sound of gunfire every day!”
The wounded were very depressed and were bombed every day...
It's unimaginable that they can survive in such a situation.
An Zhibin vaguely remembered that the environment described in the animation should be the Battle of Shangganling.
Battle of Shangganling!
"Then let me sing a song for you guys..."
"A big river has wide waves
The wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides of the bank
My family lives on the shore
I'm used to hearing the boatman's slogans
I’m used to seeing white sails on ships…”
A crisp and loud sound sounded in the animation.
An Zhibin was stunned.
He has never heard this song.
But the song is vivid, tactful yet distant and tranquil, depicting a series of fascinating scenes, which makes An Zhibin feel yearning in his heart, and is full of healing for the soul.
An Zhibin closed his eyes and unconsciously immersed himself in the picture depicted by the song...
However, he planned to listen to it carefully, but found that the song stopped abruptly after only singing a few verses.
He opened his eyes.
"Dear friends, the artillery fire is over, the hawks are coming up! Prepare for battle!"
"Guys, follow me!"
Each rabbit stood up again and rushed out of the hole with great courage.
The screen switched for a while.
The once arrogant Yingjiang now has blood on his head.
On the ground…
John Bull lay motionless with his back to the sky, while the Gallic chicken was frothing at the mouth and trembling constantly, and the helmeted soldiers were shivering with fear on their faces...
The rabbit's head is also stained with blood, but he is standing, accompanied by an exciting and surging melody, like a hymn to heroes.
The scene slowly changed, and the "38th Parallel" sign that had previously fallen to the ground was put up again, and it [don't say it was unexpected] was shining brightly in the sunlight.
He wins again!
However, the hymn did not last long and stopped in an instant.
The picture became vast and white. A rabbit was sitting alone in the vast world, its back stretched very long.
silence!
There was no dubbing, which was in stark contrast to the passionate melody just now, which made An Zhibin feel vaguely uncomfortable.
Then, a rabbit wearing medals of merit slowly walked over and sat next to the rabbit.
He let out a long sigh.
"relative!"
"Are you OK?"
"It's been a long time since we sat together and chatted..."
"Did you know? Today's dry food has become a strange self-heating dry food. It will heat itself when you add water. There is meat in it, although it is saltier than the captured meat. Last time, my grandson and his braised meat were sour, so I secretly pinched it.
After eating the cake... they all thought I threw it away!"
"Hehehe, hahaha, eh! How great is our reconnaissance company!"
"By the way, do you still remember the Iron Turtle we made back then? We also saw it during the military parade. Come on, it's so big and awesome..."
"When we got to the anti-tank place, Lao Wang and I couldn't help but salute, cheer up, cheer up!"
"But now these guys are so unsure of winning against Yingjiang. Think about how I fought against them back then?"
"Damn it, give me another brick and let me go to the 38th line again. There were no iron turtles or handjob machines back then, so I was never afraid. You say I'm scared now!"
"..."
"Hey, now we can not only afford tea eggs, we can also have meat for three meals a day..."
"..."
"But, dear, I miss you so much!"
When he saw the outstanding rabbit burst into tears, An Zhibin suddenly trembled all over. Then, his heart suddenly twitched uncontrollably, and his mind went blank. Endless emotions hit him like a flood.
Come.
In the picture, the other rabbit's body turned into a shadow. He patted the outstanding rabbit on the shoulder and handed him a box of cans.
On the can, it says "Eighth Army of Eagle Sauce!"
That virtual rabbit is the soul state.
he!
They are heroic spirits who sacrificed themselves far away!
In the animation, the accomplished rabbit stretched out his hand and held it with another phantom rabbit, as if he was feeling something.
In an instant, it was as if two worlds met.
"Yes, today is a happy day! Honey, let's go home!"
"go home!"
An Zhibin heard this sentence,
His lips trembled slightly, and the hairs all over his body stood up. When the melody of "Chasing Dreams" sounded again, his eyes instantly became moist.
The screen switched and then turned into a video. In the video...
"We are China Eastern Airlines Flight 60, transporting the remains of volunteers to Shenyang..."
“Welcome the loyal volunteers to return home!”
"..."
An Zhibin closed his eyes again.
He knows this history very well, after all, his grandfather was one of the heroes of that era!
When he was young, he heard his grandfather talk about those years and the loyal souls who came back from the plane...
Going forward through the wind and rain, shrouded in horse leather...
this moment!
Tears flowed slightly from the slits of his eyes.
They exchanged their lives for peace.
And the motherland has never forgotten them!
martyr!
Back home!
"We eat fried noodles with snow here so that our relatives in the motherland can fight for ten pages of sweet and salty tofu brains. We drill here in air-raid shelters so that our relatives in the motherland will no longer drill into air-raid shelters. Dear friends, your dreams, Leave it to us to protect you."
end……
Rabbit's words echoed again.
"A big river has wide waves
The wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides of the bank
My family lives on the shore..."
Then...
The sound of singing sounded again in the old photos.
