my time as a director

Li Qian hastily corrected him, "Mr. Zhang, this is actually a romance movie."

Minister Zhang nodded, "The love between life and death during the war is more touching."

""

Forget it, Li Qian didn't say anything, anyway, this time I came to listen to the old man talk about his experience as a health worker on the Beibai battlefield.

However, looking at the photographer who has been following him to shoot, Li Qian frowned, "Minister Zhang, don't need to follow the camera, don't make such a big fight, it will surprise the old man."

Minister Zhang and the director of the municipal TV station looked at each other, but they didn't care, and still smiled, "Hehe, Director Li is very thoughtful, so let's take a few photos."

Li Qian nodded, feeling a little helpless.

I knew that I would not say hello to the local government, so I came directly to the rest place.

When I came to a yard, there were two young people at the door accompanied by an old lady, which should be the purpose of this trip, the old lady Sun Jixiang who participated in the Beibai War as a health worker.

"Grandma Sun, hello." Li Qian walked over quickly.

The 80-year-old Grandma Sun seemed very energetic. Seeing that so many people didn't mean to be disturbed at all, she seemed even happier. While greeting Li Qian and the others, she walked slowly into the house without help. , "Hello, hello, come in and sit in the room."

Li Qian followed Grandma Sun into this small house with a single courtyard, and entered the living room. The old grandma took out several large photo albums and a box of medals from the table, handed them tremblingly to Li Qian, and asked Turn around to pour water.

The two young men who had been with Grandma Sun at first hurried to pour water.

After sitting on the sofa, Grandma Sun asked Li Qian, "Young man, they said you made movies?"

"Grandma Sun, I'm making a love movie, because there will be some episodes of health workers on the Beibai battlefield, so I want to listen to you about what happened at that time." Li Qian looked at Grandma Sun and said truthfully, while flipping through the thick Photo album, occasionally looking down.

"Crack!"

The cameraman from the nearby TV station took a photo of Li Qian's head in front of the photo album, and with a "click" sound, he took a photo from the side.

Li Qian frowned, listened to Grandma Sun's words, took a sip from the water glass, put it down gently on the table, and made a loud knock that everyone could hear.

The photographer glanced at the director and stopped what he was doing.

When Grandma Sun heard Li Qian talk about what happened back then, the smile on her brows and eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by deep sorrow.

"I remember it was May of 49. I was 5 years old at the time, and I took my younger sister to enlist in the army. At that time, we were asked whether we wanted to join the art troupe or be nurses. My sister and I both said to be nurses."

Qi Yukun, who came with Li Qian, was taking notes in his notebook, and the reporter from the TV station was also recording something. Everyone was quietly listening to Grandma Sun's whispering about the past.

"Later, my sister and I were assigned to the medical team of the xx division of the xx army and participated in the study and training. In October 50, we suddenly received an order and set off with the army. We took the train to the northeast, and each of us was given a cotton coat. We trained the back wounded, tied bandages, and then one day before dawn, we took a train across the Yalu River and entered Beibang.

When we first arrived, it happened to be bombed by enemy planes indiscriminately. We hid under an apple tree on the mountain and stayed for 5 days. At that time, all the young comrades in the army returned to China, and my sister and I were also persuaded to return. , but we still stayed.

After we arrived in Beibang, the weather started to turn cold, and we couldn't spend the night on the mountain. It was so cold at that time, the squad leader saw it and hurriedly found some leaves to cover us. "

Grandma Sun sighed, her eyebrows lowered, "But it's still very cold, cold and hungry, and sometimes I haven't eaten for a whole day, and I can't eat the dry food on my back. It's for the wounded."

As she said that, Grandma Sun opened the photo album in Li Qian's hand, and found a piece of yellowed paper.

It was Xinhua News Agency's report on the front line. Although it was a long time ago, Li Qian could still see it clearly. It wrote: "Sister Sun Jixiang, a female nurse in a certain department, carried more than 30 kilograms of equipment on their backs. Marching together with the soldiers in the cold night. The troops crossed a high mountain of more than 30 miles, the snow was up to their knees, and their shoes and feet were frozen together, but they followed the troops and arrived at the destination. start working."

"Everyone doesn't take a bath, and there are lice all over their bodies. Just grab them in the armpits." Grandma Sun continued, "It's even more difficult for female soldiers. Every time they have their period, they can only pull out a little cotton from the cotton coat. Wrap the leaves and use them."

Li Qian was stunned. He had imagined the hardships of war, carrying heavy loads, marching in snow, and not eating. He had thought about all of these, but he had never thought about the problems faced by female soldiers in that environment.

Generally in the factory, people will say that women are men, and men are animals.

But on the battlefield, women are not much better than men.

Qi Yukun, who was writing furiously, also stopped suddenly. After two seconds, he clenched the pen with his right hand and continued to write, that period of past history.

It's just that his hands are getting harder and harder, and the writing is rustling on the paper.

The female reporter from the TV station stopped, and couldn't write any more.

Grandma Sun didn't pay attention to their condition, and recalled to herself, "In November 50, in Xinxingli, the xx army participated in the second battle. After the battle, the wounded came down, and their hands and feet were blown out of shape. , we were all scared to death.”

Recalling this, Grandma Sun said with tears, "A soldier died, but his eyes were still open. The squad leader asked me to drag him out, but I always felt that he was not dead, he was not dead...

When I pulled out the soldiers' corpses, I found that there were several corpses covered under a pile of straw next to them, so I and other comrades-in-arms dug a pit to bury the sacrificed soldiers, and everyone cried. "

Li Qian's eyes kept closing rapidly, suppressing the tears that just came out.

Grandma Sun wiped her eyes, and then said with some emotion, "Once I got a pancake for the wounded to eat, but the wounded refused to eat it, and said, "You should eat it, and you will be able to help other wounded after eating it." "

The old man talked a lot intermittently. Besides suffering and sorrow, there were also stories such as during the fifth battle in Xia Tian, ​​he ate captured sausages during the rapid march, and collectively had diarrhea. He marched rapidly while having diarrhea.

The bridge was blocked by the enemy. She sneaked under the bridge at night and almost died, but the soldiers rescued her.

In addition to hard work, there are also some happy times.

In that Beibai war, the old man won 1 second-class merit, 5 third-class merits, and the title of "Model Nurse" of the division medical team.

After speaking for more than an hour, the old man's spirit was a little weak, and the speech was almost finished, so Li Qian left.

After rejecting the invitation from the local government, Li Qian got into the car and left with Qi Yukun and Su Lun.

On the modified commercial vehicle, the two of them still felt a little heavy.

Li Qian smiled, "Okay, the sufferings of the past have been experienced by our predecessors. Let us cherish this world created by our ancestors and let future generations remember it."

As directors, Qi Yukun and Su Lun have seen and heard countless stories of all kinds, but this time the old man on the opposite side told the story of his own experience, which touched him a lot.

However, he quickly put this touch in his heart and adjusted.

Su Lun said, "Boss, the part Grandma Sun said about using the cotton in the padded clothes and wrapping the leaves to make sanitary catties is very necessary to be photographed. Not only men but also female soldiers suffer all kinds of pain during the war, and they are physically Not as good as a man."

"The insertion of this plot is too strange." Qi Yukun shook his head, "Actually, there is not much useful information on this trip. Grandma Sun works in the health team at the division level. When she grows up, she is in a field hospital, and in the movie The leading actor is the health worker at the lowest level in the company below, and the environment is completely different, and it is more of a shot to be shown on the battlefield."

Su Lun glared at Qi Yukun, "What's strange, the wounded must be transported to the hospital behind, and the health staff followed along the transport, and the hero escorted the wounded to the field hospital, didn't he meet the nurse in the field hospital?"

"But our movie mainly shows the cruelty on the battlefield and the spirit and will of the volunteer soldiers. The hero's identity as a health worker is just an excuse to join the army."

"On the battlefield, hospitals are also part of the war. Doctors and nurses are also part of the soldiers, and they should be displayed in an all-round way."

"But"

The two actually got into an argument about it.

Li Qian shook his head, and hurriedly called a stop, "Okay, okay, remember first, it will depend on the situation when we sum up later, let's go to the next place."

Li Qian wanted to visit a lot of places, mainly related to the two battles of Changjin Lake Ice Sculpture Company and Pine Bone Peak Bloody Battle, veterans who survived the war, and a visit to the military area.

After all, to restore these two battles in the movie, even if the time is short, it must be done well, and the support of the military must be indispensable.
