It turned out that such a war was breaking out in that ancient country.
It turns out that hatred between country and family can make a weak woman choose to pick up a gun and go to the battlefield.
A photo of seven Chinese women records more than just those seven people. Through their sad eyes, upright figures and the steel guns they hold tightly in their hands, it shows what Americans who advocate freedom and democracy across the ocean see.
There is a spirit inside, a spirit that will never give in.
This is actually very popular with Americans. Americans value individual heroism. Even if they love life so much, they will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the motherland and the people and things they want to protect. Just like the United States
Their hero in the War of Independence said a famous saying before he was executed: My only regret is that I only have one life to devote to my motherland.
As a spy, Hale failed. But to commemorate his patriotism, a life-size statue of Hale engraved with his famous quote stands at the CIA headquarters.
Americans admire heroes. And those seven Chinese female soldiers who resolutely took up guns and fought against the invaders are heroes.
Therefore, the little foreign girl's entry photo stood out from more than 10,000 photos and was awarded the gold medal by the judges.
Soon, the photos and the stories behind them were gradually spread. And the Americans’ perseverance was really admirable. Someone spent a lot of effort to find information about China and Japan from old newspapers eight months ago.
War information from Rehe Province in China. During that time period, China and Japan did have a war involving a total of 300,000 troops. The Japanese side had 70,000 troops and the Chinese side had 230,000 troops. This can completely prove that the little foreign girl’s
The photos and backgrounds are not made up.
However, a young reporter who was about to be laid off was the one who really brought this photo to the attention of people across the United States.
The young reporter named Richard probably didn't expect that his article would be selected by Time Magazine. He was just covering the photography exhibition when he received the notice of layoffs, and was very interested in this photo from China.
It's just a bit of news.
I don’t know whether it was due to the inherent sensitivity of journalists or knowing that he was about to lose his job in half a month. Richard made a last-ditch effort and spent a full ten dollars to send a message to his cousin in Shanghai, China.
I sent a telegram, hoping to find out the specific situation of the seven Chinese female soldiers.
After Richard sent the telegram, he almost forgot about it. He had to work hard to find a new job, otherwise he would be living on the street in two months.
But miraculously, his cousin sent him a telegram back a week later. Because the Japanese massacre of Mijiayu Village was reported in China by Reporter Liu’s Field Diary. It was so hot, just ask any Chinese
Almost everyone knows this fact, and the Chinese newspaper report also contained the personal testimony of Miss Laura, because she also witnessed the tragic situation after the massacre of the village.
However, it is not easy to find newspapers from nearly a year ago. It took the serious Americans a week to dig out the old newspaper from an old bookstore and confirm the true identities of the seven female soldiers in the photo.
The name of the female soldier in the lead is Michelle.
By the way, cousin Richard, who was also moved by Reporter Liu's war diary, also condensed the dozen or so articles of Reporter Liu's war diary that lasted for more than half a month, and spent ten times as much as Richard's telegram fee to transmit these texts.
To the anxious young reporter Richard.
The exhausted young reporter read the entire telegram from China thousands of miles away that night, and couldn't help but be deeply moved by the fact that China once had such an army. Sure enough, the story behind the photo is more touching than the photo itself.
Moving.
There is a reason why journalists are called the uncrowned emperors. A pen in their hand can turn black and white upside down, and they can also turn dullness into brilliance. What's more, Reporter Liu's writing style is good enough.
, Richard only needs to add the customary embellishments of Americans on the basis of tear gas words.
A story about seven female soldiers was published. In Richard's writing, not only did the seven female soldiers become heroes of China, but there was also a brave and fearless Chinese colonel who led them.
Thousands of soldiers under his command sacrificed their lives to fight against an enemy several times their size. In the end, the colonel defeated the vicious islanders, but thousands of his soldiers rested on the land of the Great Wall of China.
After a brutal battle, the sad colonel led the last warriors back to their homeland. Due to the heavy casualties, the seven new female soldiers who joined the colonel's army served as the patron saints of the men, and thus introduced Laura.
Miss Rothschild's camera lens.
Thousands of words were written eloquently, describing the extremely brutal Battle of the Great Wall between China and Japan. The Japanese army was defeated at Luowenyu on the Great Wall of China, and the Chinese army, which vowed to work hard to defend its homeland, won the final victory. In fact, there is no big problem with this writing, and it is basically consistent with the facts.
.
But in the writings of this American reporter, who was already passionate and full of personal heroism, the brave and wise Chinese colonel almost became a lone hero. Not only did he rush to the front line with the soldiers, but in the end he almost became a loner, with no one under his command.
There were two or three big cats and kittens, and even the new female soldiers who joined the army had to take on guard duties. The content of the photos was magically brought back to life, and it was seamless.
If Liu Lang hadn't personally participated in and commanded this battle, I would have almost believed it.
Looking at the big photo on the front page of Time magazine, the best-selling magazine in the United States, and the Chinese stories behind the seven female soldiers that fill a whole page, and the blinding headline: A Chinese Colonel
The story I had to tell with the seven female soldiers. Liu Tuanzuo also had to cover his head in front of the little foreign girl who almost laughed out loud.
Clickbait, pure clickbait! American journalists are really talented.
It must be said that although there was no Internet at this time, in the United States, where newspaper media was already well developed, clickbait politics was also very popular.
In itself, a photo of a Chinese female soldier winning the National Photography Gold Medal is already very eye-catching. Coupled with the title that both men and women can’t help but want to read, the content is exciting enough.
This news report, without any doubt, went viral.
With this press release, the unemployed young reporter rose to the top and became an official reporter for Time Magazine, the largest circulation magazine in the United States. From then on, he had an indissoluble bond with China, and he finally met the Chinese colonel in his novel in China.
.Of course, this is something.
It is not only the young reporters who are popular. It is not only the Great Wall battle between China and the Japanese invaders that is popular. It is not just the seven female soldiers who are popular. It is also the Chinese colonel who has no video footage but has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And his famous saying: Forward, my soldiers, the mission of a soldier is to die on the battlefield.
Damn it, when did I say this? Liu Tuanzuo was a little dizzy. Thousands of his subordinates were written down by the American cowboys, and they even added a famous saying to him.
He had forgotten that he once said to Liu Xueyuan: The mission of a soldier is nothing more than to wrap a corpse in horse leather. But if Americans want to translate this, it is obvious that they can only rely on guessing. The young reporter can learn from the model of his cousin's translation.
To distill this meaning out of vague sentences can be regarded as a very high level of writing.
What a touching spirit of patriotism! Because of the motherland, they are willing to give up even their most cherished lives. In the eyes of Americans, the Chinese colonel and the seven Chinese female soldiers have become synonymous with heroes.
Especially in the eyes of many Chinese Americans in the United States, he is a great hero.
Of course, more importantly, they finally learned about the Patriotic War that China was going through. Many Chinese communities began to take action. Although they may never return to China, it was the birthplace of their grandfathers or fathers.
