寻找79越战消逝的老兵

本片围绕着原四十二军和五十五军湛江籍参加过79中越自卫还击战的老兵展开，讲述了当年战争的残酷和荣誉（一等功、二等功、三等功，一级残废、二级残废、三级残废......），他们塑造了新一代最可爱的人！79老兵带着荣誉卸甲归田，原以为政府会给一口饭他们吃，但随着三十年的改革改制，他们从最可爱的人变成最可怜的人——下岗、失业、战争的后遗症、人的衰老......有的没有房子、有的没有老婆、有的没有孩子、有的没有工作、有的没有钱，他们成了真正的“两无”、“三无”、“四无”、“五无”人员。这场战争和三十年的改革改制剥夺了他们当中许多人年轻的生命和现在生存的权利，使他们开始反思？！

Centered on the veterans with ancestral home in Zhanjiang who were original 42 and 55 Army Corp that participated in the war between China and Vietnam in 1979, the movie presents the brutality and honor of the war-- Order of Merit, Merit Citation Class II, Merit Citation Class III, First-level Disability, Second-level Disability, Third-level disability......They have modeled the new most beloved men! The veterans went back home with honor, thinking that the government would give them some compensation. However, as the reform and restructure of the mechanism in China, they turned out to be the poorest men---being out of work, being unemployed, suffering the after effects of war and aging. Some of them have no house for living. Some of them are still single without any children and some of them have no job. They became the “n-without”people. The war deprived them of their young lives and right to life, which makes them rethink......

没有2005年原新华社记者韩敬山跟我讲几乎被国人遗忘的凭祥烈士陵墓，没有2006年见到原42军126师376团2营六连2班班长陈文超讲起1979年中越之战中的马安山战场的残酷，全连战后只剩16人和他现实生活的贫穷、困顿，我想我不会从广州到广西那个偏远落后龙州县去寻找马安山昔日战场，今日平静……
去拜祭、看望龙州、凭祥、凉山中越之战双方烈士墓地里长眠的四、五千阵亡的中国军人和四、五百阵亡的越南军人。
走过友谊关，凭祥、崇左市政府正在搞一个文化活动的舞台准备工作，关口是往来的平民和军姿不好看的双方边防军人，但却是友好的。
和平友好了，我可以花上100元人民币坐近3个小时的车直到河内，花上150元人民币住上河内的小旅馆，吃得很差却很贵，与河内市民合影时他们的表情同中国平民没有什么样，他们爱人民币美金，认中国和美国人做大哥。
河内街上的摩托车很多很有中国八十年代城市的感觉，也有小汽车，多是日本产的丰田、韩国的大宇，还有德国的奔驰、宝马，没有什么中国造。
而河内的灯光、建筑远没有南宁的亮、高、现代……
整个行程从2006年11月22日开始24日结束25日回到广州，同行者是生活困窘的阵前。
离开当时的语境去看这样一场战争，27年后没有什么人再愿意提起！
当年热血——死了的早已凝固成山野中一座座人迹稀少的陵墓，活着的早已变凉……
有人曾经这样评价战争：人民并不需要战争，但战争使平民变成士兵，使士兵变成仇敌，他们相互厮杀，然后一起永远沉于尘土，历史牢记着巴顿、拿破仑的名字，却没有人记得士兵。这样的情况，对于每个国家每一场战争似乎都一样。


If Han Jingshan, the reporter of Xinhua News Agency had not told me about the Martyrs' Cemetery that was nearly forgotten by people in 2005 and if Chen Wenchao, the monitor of the original Class 1, Company 6, Battalion 2, Regiment 376, Division 126, Army 42, had not told me how cruel the war between China and Vietnam in 1979 was with the result that only 16 people survived in the company and what poor life they were living, I think I would not go to the isolated and poor village in Longzhou of Guangxi Province to look for the former battle field of Maanshan. How peaceful it is today.
Go to visit and show my respect to four or five thousand of the Chinese martyrs and four or five hundred of the Vietnamese martyrs who participated in the battle of Longzhou, Pingxiang and Liangshan lying in their last sleep.
Passing the Friendship Pass, we found that some staffs of the municipal government of Pingxiang and Congzuo were preparing the stage for a cultural activity. Some people and soldiers for frontier defense were walking back and fro. They are friendly to each.
Since peace was established now between two countries, I can spend 100 RMB on the ticket to Hanoi, taking almost 3 hours. I can spend 150 RMB on room rate of the hotel in Hanoi, having bad but expensive meal. When we took photos with the citizens of Hanoi, they had the same facial expression with Chinese people. They like Renminbi and US dollars, viewing them as the most important thing.
The motorcycles on the street were just like the ones in 1980s in China. There were also some cars, most of which were Toyota of Japan, Daewoo of Korea, and Mercedes-Benz and BMW of Germany. None of them were made in China.The whole journey began on 22th November in 2006 and ended on 24th, coming back to Guangzhou on 25th. My partner is Zhenqian who lived a difficult life.
Fiery-spirit in those years has already frozen in the lonely mausoleums in the mountain. Those alive has already cooled down……
Some one ever made common on the war: People don’t need war, but wars make common people turn to be soldiers and make soldiers turn to be enemies, who fight with each other and finally sleep forever under the earth. The history never forgets the terms----Barton and Napoleon, but no one can remember the soldiers. This situation happens to every country.
