The first 200 lines.
Gu Yiye!
Yiye!
Gu Yiye!
Yiye!
Everything's fine?
Great.
What are you doing?
I'm going to the division commander's.
He's not around.
Then I'll wait for him.
There's no point in doing this.
Then what should I do?
Alright,
we all saw your act just now.
The division commander won't like it.
Act?
I wasn't acting!
I joined the army with great ambition,
and I even gave up gaokao.
For all these years,
I've been preparing
to become a soldier.
I trained infantry technique by myself,
and did physical training.
I learnt military history on my own,
and taught myself tactical knowledge.
I am more suited to the army than anyone else!
How could you say I'm not the one?
How could you make me retire?
And what?
And,
I know I should not be
saying these now,
but they are stuck in my throat.
Even it’s just acting,
please let me see the division commander
and finish my lines.
It's already time for you to bow and step down.
Lines?
They used to call me a book worm,
but I say you are the book nerd!
Have your father told you
the difference between military institutes and common colleges?
At the artillery reconnaissance class,
he once said
that we investigate functions for the death,
and use cannons
to write them down.
This is the difference
between military institutes and common colleges.
Common colleges teach knowledge,
but military institutes
put what you’ve learnt into practice
by blood and fire.
You,
you might have more knowlegde than others,
but in the class filled with blood and flames,
destined for iron and volition,
you don't have advantages
to anyone else.
To you,
this is a test,
a test of life.
Soldiers are special individuals.
Maybe one can be here
out of their love towards military,
but they definitely can't
stand all the way through with their initial enthusiasm.
Of course loving to be a soldier is great,
but you need more than just passion
to wear this uniform.
If you can't understand this,
leaving right now
might be a good choice.
I'll never leave.
Excuse me,
have you seen
a tall, thin new recruit?
His name is Gu Yiye.
No. Comrade,
you can't enter here.
Comrade,
Gu Yiye is fine,
you can go back now.
Did you ask for leave?
Running around like this.
Hurry up and go back to your troop.
Yes, Sir.
1, 2, 3, 4.
Gao,
Gao, you see,
you are about to retire to local.
You really should work hard,
and be that ten-thousand-yuan household.
Gao,
I do know a way
to let you stay in the military.
Just marry a woman soldier,
then you get to be a soldier's dependant!
Piss off!
Yeah,
that's a way.
Stop pretending!
All of us saw clearly that
you just like that woman soldier
whose family name is Jiang, right?
Really?
Stop it. I'm telling you,
that's just revolution friendship.
Now that I'm not going to stay in military,
this revolution friendship should stop here.
Niu,
These clothes... - What?
Gao.
I don’t need them anyway. - No.
You can keep this uniform
as a souvenir.
Wearing this army green
without a red star
and two red flags on
is really a pity.
What are you thinking about?
Not gonna thank me?
Gao,
it smells.
I'll suffocate you!
Yes. – It can’t be true.
Come and play.
We'll wait for you.
Gao. - Gao.
I think you'll do great.
Gao.
We’ll walk you out. - Don’t bother.
Just rest.
Say hi to the woman soldier.
Yeah, I'm just going to the woman soldier's,
why are you all following me.
You guys just take a rest, I'm going.
Goodbye, comrades.
Good bye!
Dear comrades,
you said goodbye to your friends and family,
leaving home for military.
That's devotion.
But me,
I came to the military alone,
to seek refuge.
You don't know
that I'm the one
who has nowhere else to go.
And now,
I'm leaving you.
Brother,
where are you?
I miss you.
Deserter from the new recruit company?
Had a cramp.
Who wears that suit to swim?
There's no way you can swim.
I'm fishing here this afternoon,
and I saw you hemming and hawing
right here in the water.
You made me
stare at you for hours,
and I can't even fish.
You are an old soldier, right?
Have you fought in a war?
I’ve faced some enemies.
But I still can't be compared
with those veterans.
Then you are half the known kind.
I'll tell you something about our maneuver.
You haven't eaten anything all day, so you must be hungry.
There are two eggs in the bag,
go ahead and eat.
Yiye,
the girl at the train station last time,
was she your girlfriend?
No.
No?
I saw her crying real hard,
so she must like you very much.
Actually,
being a soldier is not like a monk,
you don't have to be like that.
I know,
but I'm so determined to be a soldier.
I can't hurt her.
Way to go, really ruthless.
But, speaking of this,
being in a relationship with a soldier
is really not easy.
Few girls
can be compared with my Xiu.
Xiu? Who's Xiu?
My girlfriend.
We've been together for 2 years.
I'm not afraid of being a joke.
We only met 3 times.
After we get back,
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
