In name only: In the name of Zhao Mengsheng's son!

Finally, the protagonist, overhearing these crickets talking to his face about how deserters are shameful and how he, though not much, is willing to sacrifice himself for his country, couldn't take it anymore and ordered the company commander to gather the entire company!

"Anyone who dares to say that I, Zhao Mengsheng, am a coward, I'll fight them to the death! Whether they're heroes or cowards, we'll see on the battlefield!"

Zhao Miao's performance won praise from his grandfather Zhao Mengsheng and his old comrades. Although Zhao Mengsheng didn't know what he looked like at the time, his old comrades said, "Your grandson acted just like you did back then, with eyes as red as if they were dripping blood, like a wounded wild beast!"

At that moment, the audience watching the movie stopped mocking them. It was as if the protagonist didn't seem so bad after all!

The protagonist took out his treasured absinthe to share with everyone, and he nodded in agreement; he had already integrated into the group!

Zhang Cheng's portrayal of Jin Kailai also included a sarcastic remark, prompting Zhao Miao to immediately throw the object to the ground. Jin Kailai then realized he had gone too far! He extended his hand, and the two reconciled!

Everything is progressing in a positive direction.

However, the plot that followed was very depressing, with constant sacrifices. Everyone felt terrible seeing the rice and other aid supplies from China being used as sandbags and piled up on the front lines by ungrateful people.

Then came the scene where Jin Kailai stepped on a landmine. He acted exceptionally well. His wish was simple. Director Chen had to film this scene, where he was "psychoady" with Zhang Cheng, 83 times. Zhang Cheng was completely numb!

A group of people watched him perform, but the problem was that he was prone to bursting into laughter. Every time he saw his cousin, who was playing Zhao Mengsheng, lying on top of him, he wondered if his cousin really thought he was dead. Otherwise, how could he make such a sad expression?

Hey, you know what, you really think that's what Zhao Miao actually believed, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to cry!

So after more than eighty rehearsals, Director Chen finally let Zhang Cheng pass. Director Chen was also in a dilemma. He couldn't scold him, and he couldn't put pressure on him, so he could only use psychological manipulation!

"This is a martyr! Zhang, stop laughing, you must act like you're in pain!"

Moreover, this movie doesn't just show people completely intact with only a few bloodstains on their clothes. The special effects company went all out to create it, with veterans who personally participated in the battles providing guidance on how wounds should be treated!

It looked bloody; the bullets had not just pierced the body through small holes in the front and back, but had also wounds the size of bowls in the backs of both men!

For the first time, the young men and women who came because of Liu Yifei experienced the cruelty of war. In short, after seeing this, no one said anything about wanting war anymore!

This isn't a game where you die and just flip a coin to revive! Damn it, those anti-Japanese war dramas misled me. Rifle shots leave wounds like this, yet these characters are hit by several heavy machine gun bullets and still alive and kicking! It's outrageous! It's like that saying: the protagonist gets hit by two pounds of bullets and doesn't even suffer acute embedded copper poisoning, while a soldier gets shot in the leg and dies instantly!

Not to mention those dead people who come back to life in the graveyard and tear apart Japanese soldiers with their bare hands! I watched it with great interest when I was a kid, but now it's all over. There are no martial arts masters in this world. Even if there were, they couldn't withstand a 7.62mm bullet.

Then, Company Commander Liang Sanxi was shot and killed while saving Zhao Mengsheng. Zhao Mengsheng's eyes widened in anger, which made everyone completely accept the protagonist. At this moment, if you don't get worked up, you're not human!

Finally, when they saw Zhao Mengsheng carrying a bundle of grenades, looking like a demon with sunken cheeks and hateful eyes, rushing into the bunker, everyone felt a pang of pity. Jin Kai was right; Zhao Mengsheng had read many books and proved himself to be a soldier! They didn't want him to die.

Finally, when they saw Zhao Mengsheng limping out, his left cheek ripped open by the explosion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief! Everyone hoped their hero had survived!

After watching the movie, everyone was deeply moved, especially by the scene where Commander Lei sent his son to the front line and sacrificed himself, and how the old lady and Yuxiu insisted on paying off their debts no matter how hard, poor, or tired they were!

Zhao Mengsheng sold his imported camera just to buy some nutritional supplements. Everyone began to think that Zhao Mengsheng was just supposed to do this. He was gold, with the blood of a hero in his veins, and he had just recovered!

Recalling Commander Lei's words, "The Communist Party has no heroes," the noblewoman was initially mocking him, saying, "I have a drawer full of first-class merit medals." But after hearing that Commander Lei's own son had also sacrificed his life on the battlefield, she looked so ashamed and powerless!

Zhao Mengsheng also took on the role of a company commander and began to take care of the families of each soldier!

Finally, the scene where Commander Lei saluted the martyrs' cemetery on the mountain was incredibly heartbreaking!

A group of people watched the movie's opening theme song, "As You Wish," sung by Gao Fangfang. No one wanted to get up. An elderly woman with snow-white hair, sitting somewhere, was already sobbing uncontrollably!

He is Lei Zhen, the God of Thunder, who is 96 years old this year. He didn't want to come to see the actor who played his son, but he was really upset to see that the actor who played his son looked 80% like his son Zhenhua! So he had to come!

My mind raced, recalling every word my eldest son had said to him!

"My humble family, where we wear straw sandals, has produced a scholar?"

"Not just a scholar, but a future marshal!"

"Marshal? Hmph, tomorrow you'll be mopping the floor first, and you can't sleep until eight in the morning!"

Lei Zhen couldn't bear these words, especially seeing them spoken verbatim in the movie. He covered his head and sobbed in anguish. He used to be able to discuss his son without batting an eye, but now that he's old, he can't help but tremble whenever he thinks of Lei Zhenhua! Let alone his biological son, even if it were a dog, after raising it for eighteen years, it would still be family. Moreover, this son is exceptionally talented, with excellent writing skills, just like that line in the movie!

"The marshal is for the future; for now, I am still your soldier!"

Lei Zhen was unaware of this, but he felt that his son's words showed his unwavering resolve!

Lei Zhen's daughter, grandson, and great-grandson were with him at the movie, and they also got to know his elder brother, uncle, and maternal uncle very well. They were all born after Lei Zhenhua's sacrifice!

They all knew that there was such a person in their family, a martyr, but they didn't know much about him. They wanted to ask their parents, but their parents always had a sad expression, so they didn't dare to ask anymore. Today, they finally learned about the life and deeds of their eldest brother, uncle, and maternal uncle. He was only eighteen years old, so young.

No wonder my parents don't want to talk about it! Who wants to bring up their own inner scars?
