The first 198 lines.
Finally, our family
don't need to squeeze in this tiny house anymore.
I'm willing to squeeze in here.
I'd rather squeeze in here
than letting you take off this military uniform.
Jiang,
how's everything going with Gao?
He's still undergoing rehabilitation training.
He's hanging in there,
but with no passion.
It's like he's a different person now.
Jiang,
this is
a little something prepared by
all the officers and soldiers of Second Battalion of Special Forces.
Please take it.
I salute you
on behalf of all the officers and soldiers.
You've been through a lot.
At ease!
Attention!
Right-dress!
Eyes-front!
Battalion commander, we will always wait for you.
Battalion commander, we have been trying hard.
Battalion commander, let's try together.
Battalion commander, we are by your side.
No matter life or death.
Everyone, ready!
Set! Sing!
He is a soldier.
He loves his men.
He loves his training field.
He loves the resonance of their voices.
And more, their unique affection.
Listening to them singing,
he feels like he is back in them.
He found himself,
and came back to life.
Good timing.
Help me take all the trash out.
Dad,
these are your painstaking efforts.
How can you call it trash?
The Cold War has been over for almost ten years.
These things
should be buried in the history garbage dump.
There's no need to study it anymore.
It's a pity that
this computer
has only been bought a few years ago.
I intended to
input my decades' study achievements
in it.
See,
I have only put in less than one third of it.
No need to do it anymore.
This computer
can only be used for card games from now on.
Dad,
let me help you type.
Got time?
Yes.
Want to talk about it?
If not, you don't have to.
I intended to
transfer to civilian work.
But just now,
I changed my idea.
I was thinking
if I can be transferred back to college.
I can stay by your side,
no matter what I do.
Why?
I want to finish study with you.
I can be a typewriter,
or an assistant, whatever is fine.
Several days ago,
Hu Yang spoke metaphorically to me
that studying the Cold War is your eldest son.
Then it's my older brother who's in trouble now.
As a younger brother,
I have to show up.
This metaphor
is quite interesting.
I will consider it.
Dad.
I know you are writing a book.
I have plenty of time lately.
How about this.
I will leave my thirty years from now
all to you.
With this length of time,
it's enough for us to
study the Cold War over and over again.
You can feel assured that
I will definitely
finish writing this book.
No matter if it is abreast of the times,
or if anyone else will read it.
At the worst,
we will be the only two reading it.
No,
there is Xiaofei.
I will try my best
to let Xiaofei be the third reader.
Dad,
the box of books outside the room
is also yours, right?
Yes.
So cruel.
On those books,
there are small figures I drew.
I remember back when I was little,
you often beat me for those drawings.
How about this.
I will bring the books back,
and let Xiaofei
draw small figures for you.
Go ahead.
The Chinese Government issued a statement
that China lodges the strongest protest
over the bombing of the Chinese Embassy by NATO.
The statement pointed out that
this atrocity constituted a gross encroachment upon China's sovereignty.
The US-led NATO
has to assume full responsibility for this.
The Chinese Government reserves all the rights
for further reactions.
At midnight, at least three missiles
were fired from different angles and directly hit the embassy building.
The missiles went through the roof of the 5-story main building
directly to the basement.
The roof of the Ambassador's residence
beside the main building
was also torn off.
Heavy smoke billowed inside the embassy.
At the time of the bombing,
there were about 30 personnel
and Chinese journalists posted in Yugoslavia
inside the embassy building.
It has been confirmed that Shao Yunhuan, a journalist from Xinhua News Agency,
Xu Xinghu of Guangming Daily
and his wife Zhu Ying died heroically.
Other embassy personnel have evacuated
to the Intercontinental Hotel.
After the attack took place,
Pan Zhanlin, Chinese Ambassador to Yugoslavia
stood in front of the damaged embassy ruins...
Gu Yiye.
Gu Yiye.
Here.
I'm telling you,
you are the best of my works in my life.
Officer of People's Liberation Army,
Gu Yiye.
When the motherland and the people need you the most,
you have to stick to your post.
Bear it in mind,
as long as you don't want to go,
no one will ask you to leave the troops.
As long as you don't give in.
no one can defeat you.
Yes!
I can stand up by myself.
Army Commander.
The processing of Gu Yiye's transfer to civilian work
was reported by the Party committees level by level.
I can't let anything happen to
a troop like our Division 234.
We can't afford it.
Different levels of Party committees?
Yes.
How much did your decision weigh in this?
I...
My decision...
No.
I didn't get you, Army Commander.
Let me ask you, Chen Dashan.
What is it about Yu Sizhe?
He is just a leader at the platoon level.
Was it necessary that you, a division commander,
transferred him from the office
to the company for acting capacity?
He can't even do
pull-ups.
And yet,
he went to First Battalion of the Red,
the top training model battalion
to work as platoon leader.
And a merit citation class III was given away to him.
With this career experience
and military medal,
he can rightfully
be promoted in advance
for the next step, right?
You have calculated so well.
But this military medal
