Summer, 1983
The site of tunnel that Tiger Company works on the initiative of a war. It was the task of the railway corps in the War of Liberation. Our protagonists are those people who built roads and bridges. Since 1976, the railway corps began to be reduced. By the end of 1980, more than half of 430, 000 troops left the railway corps. What remained were elites certainly. The story begins with the tunnel construction site of the Tiger Company. Be careful. Sir, why’s our company commander sleeping here? Sir, his snores are louder than windmill. That’s terrible. Right. Why’s our company named the Tiger Company? Because he snores like a tiger, isn’t it exciting to listen to it? Yes. He hasn’t slept for a couple of days, so let him sleep a bit longer. We can’t let him collapse. It’s a hard task, so some people fell ill recently. Fortunately we’re not behind the schedule. So he may have a good sleep now. Anyway, don’t let him sleep here, take him to the camp. Forget it. If we really take him back, he’ll kick our asses when he wakes up. Shall we just find a place around to let him sleep well in case he’d catch cold? All right? Don’t just nod, do it. He won’t bite. What? He’s the tiger head of us, why don’t you do it first? The tiger’s ass shouldn’t be touched, either. Shut up and carry him together. Be careful. Dong Xiangqian. Dong Xiangqian. Why’re you walking so fast? Is your love ahead there? You walk so fast as a short guy. Watch the tiger’s head. His helmet. Now we’re talking. Let him have a good sleep here, right? Right. Go. Why does it stop? Sir? What stopped? Why does the pneumatic drill stop? The pneumatic drill? The pneumatic drill stopped. Let’s go. Hurry. I can’t bear it. I’ve got a stomachache, give me a hand. Where’re they? Where’re they? Why does the pneumatic drill stop? Sir, I’m impressed. You could sleep well in noises and you woke up when it stopped. Tell me why the pneumatic drill stopped. Sir. Sir. The pneumatic drillers went to the toilet because of loose bowels. All of them? Yes. They have to use toilet hand-in-hand? Sir, it’s’ all because of loose bowels. When I was in the toilet, I squatted when I just stood up and I squatted when I just stood up again. The diarrhea does a number on us, so it’s not their fault. We shall tunnel it through by the end of this month and we’ve just finished two-thirds of it. Send the order, anyone wants to go to the toilet shall do it on the spot. Keep the pneumatic drill working even if he has to work while shitting. Did you hear me? Why’re you laughing? What? You want me to show you how to do it first? Sir, we’ll follow your order. Punks, I’m just telling you the idea, you know how to do it. There’s only one rule, stick to the schedule, no matter what happens, got it? Yes. Who else can use the drill? Xiangqian. Dong Xiangqian. It’s not the time for a recruit to show off. You’re not taller than the drill, go back. Go back. Come back. No soldiers of our Tiger Company shall cringe, got it? Got it. Can you do it? Sir, I used to be a miner, so I can be the driller. Good. Compete with your platoon leader. If you defeat him, he’ll clean your camp for a whole week. What if I win? Come on, you’ll do it if it is a draw. All right. Let’s encourage the guys. Yes. Defeat him and you’ll win the respect in our company. Did you hear me? Yes. So, now you know you’re not good as me? You know why? I’m strong enough, constitution matters. Sir, I lost. Come on, lad. Honestly, you’re skilled. It was our company commander’s fault. If he didn’t created a disturbance, we wouldn’t have worked so long. Let’s go after him. Where’s the company commander? The company commander? He can sleep for four days, do you believe it? Look out! Dong. Take him out now. Be careful. His leg. Easy. Be careful. Sir, we can only dress the wound simply. He should be sent to the regiment’s hospital right not to see if his bones are smashed. Sir, I’m fine. Just apply some medicine. What medicine? All he has are just mercurochrome or gentian violet. Sir, don’t send me away or you’ll lose a driller. Just do as I say, you’ll still be a driller when you recover. Sir. Sir, the vehicle is ready. To the regiment. Sir. Dong Xiangqian. Follow the order. Yes. Come. Let’s go. Take it easy. This way. Come. Be careful. Use your strength. Get ready. One, two, three, go. Hurry. Be careful. Easy. Why didn’t you take care of him? Be careful. Put him inside. Slowly. Come here. Open the door. Sir? Don’t tell the headquarters about the diarrhea. Why? Didn’t you give all the platoons the medicine? I did it a week ago, but I just know berberine can be used for diarrhea, nothing else. Do we have enough berberine? I’ll take more from the regiment headquarters, but it didn’t seem to work. Look, we used it for a week, but those who were healthy have diarrhea too and those who had it are getting worse. Don’t tell the headquarters anyway. Check the books to see if there’re other medicines which can be used to stop diarrhea. I know some medicine, but they all have side effects. The problem is I dare not to use them since we don’t know the cause of the diarrhea. Just hang in there. If the regimental commander knows we’ve got so many patients, he may withdraw all of us and send another company. Then all of the effort we spent before will be in vain. Keep this in your mind, give me about 20 days and I’ll make a complete tunnel. Sir, I know that, but… Stop it. Our company has been through many things, I’ll come after you if you spill the beans. Yes. Sir. Sir. I heard our railway corps will be transferred to civilian work the next year and some will be released before that, including those who’re unhealthy or who performed poorly. Who told you so? We’re all talking about it. You know I value those with skilled hands instead of big mouths. Go now. Send Dong Xiangqian to the headquarters. Yes. Let’s go. Why are they sleeping here? Yang Yong. Sir, wake them up. No wonder they don’t feel well since they slept like this. Let them sleep in the camps. Yes. Boys, don’t sleep here. Get up. Boys, wake up. The company commander is here. Wake up. Wake up. Come on, wake up. Wake up. Hey. Don’t sleep here. Wake up now. Sir, I couldn’t wake them up. Many people are too weak because of the diarrhea and extremely exhausted, so they can’t be woken up once they fall asleep. Step aside. All of you, on my mark. Stand up. to the camps, double march. Have a good sleep there. Double march. Tell the cookhouse to give them something to eat when they’re not sleeping. Yes. Hey, someone passed out. Zheng. Be careful. Hurry. Go. Be careful. Make way. Put him here. Be careful. Here. Take it off. Take it away. Zheng. Easy, don’t get choked. Why’re you standing so closely? You’re blocking the air. Sir, I guess this is it tonight. Too many patients. You mean we shall stop working? We don’t have a choice because we’ve got over thirty patients. Isn’t Zheng just… He didn’t drink water when he has diarrhea, how couldn’t he dehydrate? Each soldier only have 2 bottles of water. Didn’t I tell you to give the patients 3 bottles? We’re short of water, so the others soldiers save the water for the patients and we’re all reluctant to take the water from others. Therefore, they don’t report it when they’re ill. Sir, report for duty after recovery. You’re recovered so soon? Yes. Just the injury of skin and muscles, the bones are alright. Really? Really. All they had were just mercurochrome and gentian violet. or gentian violet and… and mercurochrome. Just the medicines like here. All right. It’s good you’ve recovered. Go back to your squad and work at the next shift. Sir, I can work right now. You’ve just joined us and you are already like a member of the Tiger Company. Raise his head a bit. Does it hurt? No, I had a painkiller. OK. Let’s eat. Have more water and continue to work this afternoon. Yes. Dong, can you make it? Yeah. Keep up. How’s your leg? It’s fine. Are you sure of it? I’m sure. It won’t stop me from drilling. Save your bravado. Take it. With one hand. One, two, three, get on. I don’t need you, sir. What’re you talking about? You’re honey-lipped. You don’t need me? Yeah. The company commander will no longer be needed. When this railway is built, we’ll all take off the uniforms. Sir, you love this uniform? You don’t love it? Why’re you laughing? I love it. But we have to take it off one day anyway. I feel so bad if I’m the only one who takes it off and go home to farm. I’m a small man who can only use the pneumatic drill, nothing else. Tell me then, are you afraid of going home and can never leave there again? I… I know you’re afraid of it. I’m from a poor place just like you. Trust me, since you joined the Tiger Company, there’s a place for you. I won’t leave you behind even if I’ll tie you to me. Sir, why’re you so kind to me? Little punk, don’t be sentimental. I just know you’re tough enough to be my soldier. Where’re the others. Liu Bo. Where’re the others. Sir, we’re the only ones who can take the night shift, the others… all fell ill. Just hang in there. You’ll be alright after a while. It hurts. Dr. Lin. Dr. Lin, check on me. Dr. Lin. It’ll take a while, then you’ll be fine. Dr. Lin. It hurts. This is Lin Jinsong, the medic of the Third Company. What? The regimental commander is here? Sir. Why did you come here instead of working at your place? The regimental commander is here and he seems to be upset. Where’s he? Towards here. Platoon commander. Sir. Be careful. Yes. Sir, why’re you not sleeping since it’s so late? I’m sure you want me to sleep. Then you can do whatever you like such as lying and playing tricks, right? You’ve been keeping it a secret so well. Tell me how many patients you have exactly. Sir, didn’t I tell you about it already? Just a few people who have diarrhea. I told the cooks to make a self-criticism. Such a depletion is not a problem to our Tiger Company. Our soldiers are made of iron. Well, keep boasting. You think I still know nothing about it. Speak, how many patients you have exactly. Tell me the truth. The truth? The truth is, comparing with the other companies, our solders can hang in there even if we have some diseases. You won’t tell me? Listen up, I saw the four patients of your company who were sent to the headquarters’ clinic. I asked them and knew that there are more than 30 patients except them, right? You’re exaggerating, how could there be over 30? Where did you hear it from? Enough. Cut the crap. I’ve decided to send another company to reinforce you. Sir, we can make it. This is the Tiger Company, we never failed ever since the company was established. So I don’t need reinforcement, absolutely not. Besides, the other companies also have their tasks to do. You think I don’t know your true thought? You just don’t want them to take your credit, right? Am I such a man? Though we’re in difficulty, we can’t implicate the others, or how could we be called the Tiger Company? The Tiger Company? Do you know your schedule is wrong? Didn’t the regimental surveyor measure it? He did it wrong and missed some parts, so your company is 25% ahead of the schedule. You scared me to death. You scared me to death, too. Tell me the truth, how many patients are there in your company? Sir, how about this? Punish me when we hand over the completed project. You just let me finish the job perfectly right now. I have to know the situation before punishing you. Cut the crap. Take me to your headquarters. To your medical corps. Let me see the patients first. Yes. Where’re the patients? Sir, the patients are almost healed, so they’ve gone back to their squads. They’re all healed? Yes, they’re all healed. Sir, The First Platoon is all here. Sir, the Second Platoon is all here. Sir, the Third Platoon is all here except those on the night shift. At ease. Attention. Sir, The Third Company of the First Battalion awaits your instruction. Are these all your soldiers? All is here except the soldiers who are on the night shift. At ease. Yes. At ease. Comrades. At ease. Who among you are patients? All patients, come forward. The commander of the First Regiment of the Seventh Division of Chinese People’s Liberation Army railway corps orders all the patients to come forward. Well done. I’m impressed. Are you all made of iron or stupidity and can only keep the sufferings to yourselves? What? All of you are just doing this to keep the face of your Tiger Company for your commander? So you keep the sufferings to yourself. I just told you company commander that I’d send a company to reinforce you, what do you think of that? Do you want the reinforcement? We don’t. You don’t? Did you hear about some rumors that there would be an elimination before you were transferred to civilian work? Those who didn’t perform well or not strong enough would be terminated? I could tell you responsibly that the country will make the decision according to the necessity. so I hope you could stop spreading or believing it. Do you understand it? We do. You’re still criticizing one for wearing patterned underpants in this era? We have to criticize something. That’s a short sketch which satirizes the people who win cigarettes by play cards. So, your soldiers even gambled? It seems I have more reason to punish you. Feel free to punish me when I finish the task well and hand over the project to you. Feel free? You should keep your word. Sure. All right, the Second Battalion needs a commander urgently. After my deliberation, I decided to let you be the commander of that battalion. Be an acting commander first and you’ll be a formal one by the end of the year. I have to finish the task first. I don’t need a commander when you finish it. I can’t leave before the job is done. You are afraid that your successor will ruin your work? Exactly. Think carefully, it’s a rare opportunity to get promoted. Then please keep it for me. Keep it for you? I may consider to keep your punishment. Sir, it’s all ignited. Take cover. Yes. One. Three. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. All right. Let’s begin to work. Sir, you’ve got a call. Hello. This is the commander of the Third Company. What? The general headquarters’ hospital sent a medical unit here? Who let them come? Did I invite them? Nonsense. Tell them to go back. I don’t know who will serve whom when they come. Tell them come back? How’s that possible? Mu Jianfeng, Sir? Who are you sending back? You sent them here? Well, how could I refuse your favor? No. Sir, we just haven’t received the maters from the general headquarters. What did you say? What did you call those comrades who spent efforts to go there? I was wrong. I shouldn’t have called them masters. I mean, where are they now? Please try to keep them at your headquarters. I can send the patients to your place, just don’t let them make trouble here. What do you mean by trouble? I was wrong again. I’m sure they won’t make trouble. My point is… I get your point. Listen up, they’re on the halfway. No, I’m just afraid they can’t get used to the life here. Sir, you know the condition of my place, too poor. I couldn’t even offer some good food to them. So I don’t want you to offend the general headquarters’ masters… no, comrades, and be humiliated by us. Right? So please stop them and let them live at your headquarters. I can’t, prepare to receive them. Sir? Sir? Who helped us to get freedom? Who helped us to get liberated? It was the People’s Liberation Army. It was the Communist Party. Ya-ra-yang-zhuo-ruo-ruo-li. Ge-sang-mei-duo-sang-ai. The army and the people are a family. Let’s do laundry for our family. Who helped us to build the roads? Who helped us to put up the bridges? It was the People’s Liberation Army. It was the Communist Party. Ya-ra-yang-zhuo-ruo-ruo-li. Dr. Wang. We’re almost there. Alas, at last. My waist almost collapsed from the bumpy way. You alright? I’m fine. Stop. Stop it now. Are you deaf? Huh? Who let you come here? The medic. We’ve got so many patients and so much work to do, why did you let them come here to make a scene? Sir, here’s the thing. The regimental headquarters called to tell us to be warm to the medical unit. So we are trying to be warm. Right. Right my eggplant. Go back to work. Did you hear me? Yes. Dr. Wang, we’ve arrived. What? Are you all fools? Easy. You alright? I’m alright. I can’t even bend my legs. Me, too. My waist is sour. Why’s your voice changed also? No, you’re slandering me. Why should I? Attracted by the male soldiers? What’re you talking about? Look at yourself, your mouth is watering. I was curious just now, your eyeballs wouldn’t have made such a noise if they fell. What’re you looking at? Haven’t seen girls before? Be quiet. Back to work. You’ll be fined a bottle of water each if we’re behind the schedule. That’s too cruel. We only have two bottles each day. We’re here. Group One, get off to grab the stuff. Yes. – Hello. – Hello. We need some comrades to carry the baggage for the girls. Since Dong goes to help, what’re we waiting for? Shall we? Let’s go. You… Why’re you all going? Idiots. Your tents are over there. Let me help you with those things. Yes. Thank you. To work. What’re you waiting for? Go to work now. You’re Dr Wang? Yes. On behalf of all the soldiers of the Third Company, I welcome you. You are commander Mu Jianfeng? I saw your photo on the military newspaper when you were the spine of the basketball team of the Seventh Division. So, do you have more people who fell ill? Since you’re already here, let me tell you the truth. We’ve got patients in each platoon today. The old patients couldn’t get well after having had the medicine for a week. Honestly, it’s bizarre enough for your company to have this diarrhea. Well, this is the most experienced technician of our hospital, Wen Ting. Hello. We also brought here the primary laboratory equipment. They are Zhao Yiqin and Zeng Buyu, the new medics we just recruited who came here for training. Let me introduce, That is Mo Li, we all call her Dr Mo. This is Mu Jianfeng, commander of the Third Company. He was 23 when he took office. Now he’s the youngest company commander of the railway corps. I had the wrong medicine. I took too much dimenhydrinate and can’t be totally awake even now. Dr Mo was the best student of our medical university and was just sent to our hospital a month ago, but she took the initiative to come here. Dr Wang, I can’t stand your advertising, took the initiative to come here? I just came to have fun because I heard the scene here was good. I’m telling the truth. Dr Mo, are you still dizzy? A bit, but I’m much better. Is Dr Mo really a doctor? How could she be a fake doctor? Why does she look like a figure in movie? She’s an outstanding student of the military medical university. No, I’m sure she played a role in some movie. Easy. Easy. Be careful. Call me when you’ve arrived. Take care. All right, Dr Mo, shall we? Just go, I need a while and I’ll go when the medicine wears off. How much did you have? Can’t remember. Listen up, too much of it makes you feel worse than carsickness. What could I do? It was so bumpy that even my guts would went out. How about this? Nobody knows how long it’ll take, let me carry you. I’m over 50 kilos, you’ll be crushed. I can carry you. I could even carry 50 kilos of hawthorns to climb mountains. So I’m hawthorns to you? Dr Mo, you’re the first patient of our unit. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. Look, let me take your baggage, you two help her to walk. Yes. I’m fine, Dr Wang. Just go. Hurry. I’m really fine. Let me have some fresh air here and I’ll go to join you. Are you sure? Just go. Go to sort out your stuff. We’re leaving then. Just go. Tell us if you need help. Okay. Go. Go ahead. Sir, where shall we put them? Put them all here. OK. Here it is. Come on. Let’s go. Why don’t we wait a while? Come on in. OK. Hello. Here’s the thing, since we’re working in the wild, this is the best place we can offer so far. I’m sorry for this. It’s alright. It’s the place for the wives of our company commanders. Your company commander’s wife also lived here when she came? Our company commander is still a bachelor, he has no wife. He’s not married yet? He’s just 26. Just 26? What’s wrong? No, he just looks like 35. A cute middle-aged man, right? You have a crush on him? All right. You just sort it up here, I’m going to the kitchen. I will call you when the dinner is ready. OK. Thank you. Remember to tell us, we’re starving. OK. No problem. OK. Let’s go. Come on. Come. Let’s go. Shall I be a matchmaker for you and that cute middle-aged man? I’d rather be your matchmaker. Since I have Dr Wang, you may have that one. Give him to her. Her mouth was watering when she saw him. I’m good. I’m still young. Where’s my bed? You’re young? You two shall have those beds. Let’s take the stuff to the beds. Sort those things out. All right. It’ll be windy at 6 o’clock. It’ll be moderate gale sometimes. It’s almost 6 now. It’s windy every day? Almost. But it stops after an hour regular as clockwork. Thank you. Let me take it for you. Why’s it so heavy? Books mostly. Thanks. Put it there. Thanks. I’m going to the clinic. It’s way too heavy. I need to eat more to make up for it. Were you starved to death in the previous life that you always have to eat? You’re really hungry? Certainly. Want some bread? Where’s the bread? Here. Thank you. Yiqing. Here, try some. I’ve got one more. Here. I… I’m good. You’re not hungry? No. Don’t stand on ceremony. It’s so good. Then I’ll eat it all. Have that one if you want. It’s yummy. Thanks. No problem. Have some water. I’m choked. Lin Jinsong. Sir. No sense of disciplines. You humiliated me because you didn’t tell me that the medical unit came. Sir, I admit my fault. Sir, have some water. Sir, do you know something about Dr Mo? Sir. My classmate at the division headquarters called, saying Dr Mo has a complex background. You’re just using the public phone to spread those gossips? Sir, gossips mean the information inexact, but I promise mine is absolutely exact. Who? Dr Mo is the daughter-in-law-to-be of our division commander. His son went to study in America last year. He’ll come back as a doctor which is amazing. Shaolin. Be careful. Numerous heroes admires you. Impressed? She just wants to attract the others. She played fragile right in front of commander Mu when she just came here so he might carry her inside. Didn’t she throw up terribly on the vehicle when we came here? Didn’t you see it, too? Could she fake that? We all saw it. Because she wanted all of us to see her. She altered the skirt so short and dared to wear it here. It’s the uniform, you have to let her wear it. Then help her to fetch the water, don’t help me. You’re so tired, but you’re still helping her, you look so glad. Easy. You can’t wash your hair if you spill it. Who said that? Dr Mo is an outstanding student of the medical university who took the initiative to come here. Who said that? Someone’s jealous. I can smell it. Get lost. Listen up, you may be jealous in this place if you want, but don’t lose a single drop of water. I read a foreign play named Waiting for Godot. Some words of it were brilliant. Put the water down and I’ll tell you. It says like this. What’re you doing? I’m waiting for Godot. When does Godot come? I’ve no idea, but I know waiting is meant to be painful. One day, I finally realized that such waiting had become a habit. I think you’re my Godot. So, Miss Godot, when will the day you enter my home comes? Let’s go. Take the water. Shaoling. Dong Xiangqian, what’re you looking at? Are you a fool? Those female soldiers really want to bathe here? Stop making faces. Shouldn’t we let the girls of the headquarters bathe in such a hot day? Only the floor of this place is coated with cement, if they bathe in another place, there will be mud everywhere. One, two, three, four. March off. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, one. One, two, three, four. We’re the best shooters. One, two, three, four. Halt. At ease. Attention. Eyes right. Eyes front. At ease. Attention. Comrade, The whole company awaits your instruction. At ease. Yes. At ease. I need to say something. At ease. From today on, our company’s mess hall will be lent to the medical unit for the time being. So we will have meals at the drill ground behind. Pay attention to keep there clean. That’s all. At ease. Sing. Attention. Let’s sing a song. With my pack. Ready, sing. With my pack and rifle, I’m full of proudness and pride. Chairman Mao waves his hand and I march forward to the place my motherland needs me the most. Stop. You haven’t eaten the breakfast? You sang this good song without momentum at all. Again. Got through the mountains of Kunlun. Fought against the waves of the East China Sea. We built new railways in the snowy wild. And battleground beside the Jinsha River. Got through the mountains of Kunlun. Fought against the waves of the East China Sea. We built new railways in the snowy wild. And battleground beside the Jinsha River. We design and construct carefully to build a railway network on our vast land. Listen. Dr Mo almost became a music teacher. She can sing all kinds of songs. Tell me about it, she has a good voice. Wonderful. Girl, be careful. What’re you looking at? Back to work. Be careful. Be careful. Be careful, Dr Mo. I’m fine. Dr Mo, be careful. It’s dark inside. It’s a nasty place. It’s alright. Watch your steps. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Dr Mo is here. Sir. Why’re you dragging me. Sir, Dr Mo. Stop dragging me. Dr Mo is here. Who? Dr Mo is here. Hello, commander Mu. Dr Mo? Why did you leave the camp and come to the work site? It’s helpful to find out the pathogeny by checking the working site. It’s helpful to find out the pathogeny. Look, leader of the Third Squad, Sir. Give Dr Mo a tour. Yes. Leader of the Second Squad, Sir. Lead the soldiers to keep working. Yes. What’re you looking at? Stop it. The doctor came to see you, don’t just look at her. Keep working. Come here. Give me one of your garment. I’ve just got a singlet. Then you’ll wear it. There’re many holes on it. So what? Watch your vanity. Commander Mu, I’m lucky to have your guidance, or I wouldn’t dare to enter this tunnel. It’s so creepy. Dr Mo. Why don’t you take a more careful look? I’m going up there. Give me a hand. Down there. He’s mad? Females should get the permission first before they enter the tunnel. How could she just barge in like that? Dr Mo didn’t tell anybody when she came here. Couldn’t you see it? Does she look like to be at the work site? Skirt and high heels? Commander Mu. Commander Mu. Why’re you following me? Back to work. What’s wrong to wear high heels and skirt? They won’t stop me from running and jumping. I’m not walking more slowly than you. That’s the price of bragging. Thanks. It’s a rough path here. You may fall even if you don’t wear high heels. Satisfied now? Your feet may be cut. No. I’m used to it because I grew up with bare feet. Why? It’s hot in Chongqing. I grew up beside the Jialing River where the rock beach ruined shoes easily. So I can save 2 yuan and 50 cents in a summer because of that. Why was it 2 yuan and 50 cents? You don’t know it? A pair of plastic shoes was worth 2 yuan and 50 cents. You are not like a doctor. What should a doctor be like? Not like you. Why did you learn the medicine? I learned it because I didn’t think much. My dad used to be a doctor who treated the senior officers, so they all believed that I should learn it. Maybe I really don’t look like a doctor. They said I pulled strings. That was nonsense. I entered the university with high scores. Really? Remove your question mark. Maybe I was born to be a doctor. Bye, commander Mu. At ease. Attention. Eyes right. Eyes front. At ease. I’ll say something. At ease. I only have three sentences to say, then you may go back to rest. First, You’ve worked so hard. The second is still you’ve worked so hard. Third, since you’ve worked so hard, you shall go to rest immediately. No playing cards, no wandering, especially don’t go to the west. Which side is the west? That way. The squad leaders shall report the names of those who always go there to me. Squad leaders, do you get me? We do. I’m warning you to remind your men to keep that in their minds. Am I clear? Yes. Attention. Leader of Squad One. Yes. Come forward. Take some men to help the female soldiers to move the clotheslines to the behind to separate the living quarters. Yes. Anyone wants to do it? Nobody? Let me ask you again. Anyone wants to do it? – Me. – Me. – Me. Stand straight. Hang in there. Your leg doesn’t recover well. I’m sure you didn’t rest well. Don’t move from now on. Did you hear me? Lie still. Show me your tongue. Stick it out a bit. Stick out your tongue. All right. Does it hurt? What’s wrong? It itches. Be serious in examination. Hands down. Lie still. What’s wrong, young comrade? Dr Mo, could you use more strength? Then it won’t itch. You’ve got many problems. I don’t fear it if you hit or pinch me, I just can’t bear itch. You talk too much. What’s up, Dr Mo? He’s seriously ill and refuses to take the examination carefully. I think we should send the seriously ill patients to the headquarters. They’re lack of water severely and the patients with diarrhea need water the most. I agree. We can’t leave, we have to take the night shift. What? You? I’ll work, too. You’re seriously ill, but you still have to work at midnight? We all have to because we’re short of manpower. Hey, let’s change our seats. The patients’ working time is changed to 6 hours. The healthy ones shall work 10. The platoons may arrange it respectively, just make sure we won’t fall behind the schedule. Any questions? Yang Yong. What do you want to say? Sir, isn’t 10 hours too long considering the high working intensity? We worked 12 and 14 hours before, the weak shall not join the railway corps and don’t join my company. As you all know, this is the last railway we can build before we’re all transferred to civilian work. When this project is over, all of us will take off the military uniforms and become ordinary workers of the railway. The division ordered us to finish it as scheduled or it’ll be thorny when the rainy season comes. Commander Mu, what’s the matter with you? Go to see how ill your soldiers have become. Their lives matter more than the schedule. You can’t ignore their lives just because of the schedule. Some patients have had diarrhea for 2 weeks and you still let them work, to keep your title of Advanced Company which lasts a decade? Dr Mo. This is an officers meeting. Good. Shouldn’t I tell you on the meeting? A soldier only has two bottles of water each day in such a terrible enviornment. Not just the patients with diarrhea, even a healthy person like me can’t stand it. Yet you still ask them to… If you can’t stand it, turn around and go back to your comfortable life. Why should I turn around as you ordered? Am I your soldier? Can you bully me? Don’t you know the era now? You’re still behaving like a warlord. Dismissed. Dr Mo, you don’t know the situation here. Speaking of the seriously ill patients, our company commander is one of them. He was the one of the people who fell ill first and the first one who had hematuria. Then he’s even more wrong. He doesn’t just care nothing about himself and work rashly, but makes the other soldiers care for nothing about themselves, too. What’s more important than lives? Dr Mo, my point is that it’s not easy for our commander. Since the political instructor left, he took care of the company alone. Because he’s the commander. Yeah. He spends at least 15 hours at the work site every day. Even a healthy man can’t bear it, not to mention a patient. The railway corps are going to be transferred to civilian work and it is said that some may be sent away before that. Dr Mo, many of our company’s soldiers are from poverty-stricken places who are afraid of being sent away. Therefore, we’re guessing in the past half a year. The morale of the troops will be affected by the conjectures. So if our company commander doesn’t take the lead, won’t the morale be shaken more seriously? Last thing, do pay attention in the safety check. Check the explosives stricly and remove the dud once you find one. Safety matters the most. Am I clear? Yes. Set off. Yes. Left turn. Forward, march. One, two, one. Commander Mu. Commander Mu. You’re said to have hematuria. Why didn’t you take examination? I’ve recovered. The doctor will confirm if you’ve recovered. Please come for examination tomorrow. I’m sorry. I was a bit anxious just now. When I saw so many soldiers who fell ill and the pathogeny wasn’t clear, so… I’m sorry. Don’t look at me so fiercely. YoYo English Channel YouTube Don’t be mad, alright? Why should I be mad? I have much to worry about. What’re you worrying about? Tell me and let me share some with you. You really want to know? OK, I’ll tell you then. We’ve got a soldier whose family is very poor. Now his father is seriously ill. Now he’s afraid that he may be sent home before we’re transferred to civilian work, so he’s pretty upset. His father has… You should go there. Listening to the off-key Unforgettable Tonight, Mo Li tastes something else for the first time in her life. Though she has been a member of the railway corps, she didn’t realize it until now how ignorant she was of those soldiers. She knows that the soldier Mu Jianfeng mentioned isn’t just the one who plays the flute. She finally got to know the heavy burden of the Tiger Company and began to understand why he valued the schedule more than anything else. This Unforgettable Tonight shows Mo Li the confusion and the worry of those soldiers about the life when they are transferred to civilian work. Just put them at the door. At the door? Will they be taken away? How’s that possible? Besides, the medical unit will be back after the breakfast. Dr. Mo is still sleeping inside. Then her thermos flask isn’t filled yet. Why doesn’t she have breakfast? The guard said that she took the night shift and didn’t come back until the dawn. Let’s fill it when she wakes up. But there will be no hot water then. How about we take out her thermos flask secretly? Yes. Sir. Who… who shall enter it? Who? You of course. I won’t enter it. Don’t play numb, I’m sure you want to enter. No. What’re you laughing about? Dong. Let Dong enter. Dong is known for his honesty. Dong, we’ll all be relieved to let you enter. Yes. Go. Whatever. Well done. Hurry. This way. Well done. Come. Let’s go. Come here. Let me take it for you. Just put it there. Come here. Come. Come. Xiangqian. We timed for you already and you spent 5 minutes inside. If it wasn’t 5 minutes, it should be 3 minutes. 3 minutes! Dong Xiangqian, what did you do inside? I did nothing. Sir. Fine. Take a look, suppose this is the flask. If I take it… One second. If I walk out… 5 seconds. Even your leg is wounded… 10 seconds. It’d be enough for you. But you spent 5 minutes in there, what on earth did you do? Speak. What did you do? What’re you talking about? You’re blushed. Dong Xiangqian, you just look to be honest, but you’re not honest at all. Did you talk to Dr. Mo? What did you talk about? Were you close to her when you talked? Was she pretty? Did her body… You… Dong Xiangqian, what’re you doing? Why did you push me? That’s enough. I wouldn’t bother to do that. You’re so filthy. Your mind is full of shit. Say that again. Don’t you dare say that again. Come back. You may slander me, but leave the others be. Are you done? Dong Xiangqian. This is my mouth, I want to talk anybody as I like, is that your business? How dare you push me? I won’t let you say it. That’s enough. Dong Xiangqian, if you don’t stop doing this, I’ll tell the platoon commander. You shall shut up. Tell the company commander. You shall shut up. Are you done? You shall… What’re you doing there? You shall shut up. Did they bully you? No, we’re joking. Come. Just throw it up, don’t keep it. Not so fast. Do that again and I’ll give you three bottles more. You’re always not honest. Easy. Lie down there. Help me to fetch some hot water. Easy. Have a deep breath. Easy. Take your time. OK. Just use my cup. Breathe. I told you to rest, did you hear me? Why did you go to work? Here. It’s hot. Sir. Be careful not to get burnt. Gargle first. Feeling better now? Much better. Thank you, doctor. Come. Lie down for a while. Commander Mu. What’s your business? The vehicle you applied for carrying the medicines came here. Great. Come on. Move upwards. Give me a hand. OK. Sleep here. OK. If you keep making troubles I won’t let you get out of this tent easily. Behave yourself. You’re having an IV. Your soldiers are so unbridled. Dr. Wang. You’re alright. Just have more water and rest well. What is it? You found the reason? No. No abnormal pathogen is found. No wonder the obstruent didn’t work effectively. This diarrhea is interesting. What to do? Jus use normal saline and glucose as fluid supplement? Keep observing. It’s been 3 days and we haven’t found the reason, the normal saline and glucose are not inexhaustible after all. Didn’t Mo Li go to the headquarters? She’ll bring some back. It’s a long way in the mountains, isn’t she afraid of the carsickness? She didn’t draw enough attention here, so she went there to attract more people? Come on, you’re still standing against her? I dare not since she’ll be the daughter-in-law of our commander. You’re the daughter-in-law of we Wangs, so you’re no inferior to her. You should have confidence. Who’s the daughter-in-law of the Wangs? You’re not glad? Look, we Wangs are from the working class, so even our commander shall respect us. So, when can we Wangs received you, daughter-in-law? Come on, back to work. I know why she went to the regiment headquarters. Why? Because commander Mu went there, too. She won’t miss any one, whether it’s the son of a commander or a peasant. You’re wrong. Dr. Mo went there to receive a call which was made by her boyfriend from abroad. The signal here isn’t good. Why doesn’t she go back? It’s just 3 days, the overseas call came here already. You just left less than a minute and I came here already. Did I go further than Dr. Mo? Come on, she came here for experience? I think she just came for credit. Come on, enough of complaining. Keep observing. Come in. Sir. You lost weight again. Why did you come here? I heard the regiment got two winches. You won’t have one even if we’ve got 10. But our winch is too old which always has to be repaired. I just need a good winch. I just need a good battalion commander. Didn’t we agree that I’d take the office when the project was finished? Who agreed on it? At least let me tunnel through it by the end of this month. What could I do? When some officers heard the railway corps were to be transferred, they pulled string behind my back and left. Among the five battalions of my regiment, none of them is completed. What could I do? Why’re you still standing there? Go to take your winch. Yes. All right, easy. Easy. Put it down. Come on. One, two, three, go. Easy. Close it. Thank you. It’s alright. No sweat. Did Dr. Mo say where she went to? No. Comrade. Commander Mu. Did you see Dr. Mo? In the telephone exchange room over there. Thank you. He really just lent me 2 books. Why’re you always like this? Always talk nonsense. Your sister borrowed books from him too, did she have an affair with him, too? Go. Shouldn’t we wait for Dr. Mo? We’ve waited for an hour. I have much to do when we’re back. What about Dr. Mo? You’re talking too much. Can’t she find a car? What’s wrong? Something goes wrong with the engine. What’s wrong with the car? Something went wrong. Sir, you may go back. I’ll take the truck. I’m not sure when it can be repaired. It’s the only car for the regimental officers, but they left it for me. I wasn’t going to take it to your company headquarters. I just wanted to catch up with you and then let it go back. Tell commander Gao that I thank him. Goodbye. Is it a serious problem? Dr. Mo. Is it serous? Not really, but it will take a while. It’s fine. Take your time. You’re carrying this? You want it or not? It smells gross. Give it back. Need some? I’m too tough for the mosquitoes to bite. Jasmine brand? No way. It’s true. Stop pretending, you don’t know it since you bought it? Who bought it? I don’t need it. I confiscated it from a soldier of Shanghai who was a fashionable man. He was so sissy and even took a bottle of toilet water, so I confiscated it. Will it violate the discipline since you gave it to me? Who gave it to you? It didn’t cost you a cent, why’re you so cheap? It smells so good and can drive the mosquitoes away. Make it quick. Yes, sir. Your parents are in Henan? You asked about my family? My hometown is a poor place. How poor? Poor enough to make you wish you could forget the way back when you leave. You know what railway corps are? The soldiers who build railways. The railway corps are soldiers of C-grade. The guards of honor are of A-grade. They have to be tall and strong since they represent our country. And the field forces are of B-grade. They should be people of a certain height and shall have no scars nor pockmarks. For the C-grade soldiers, there’s almost no limitation. We just have to be strong enough to work. The children from my poor hometown had malnutrition, so they became C-grade soldiers when they grew up. Most of my soldiers used to be poor children. You? Me? I was a poor child, too. I mean you don’t look like a C-grade soldier. Because of a coincidence. There was a regiment headquarters of the railway headquarters around my school. Since they usually saw I wandering by the basketball court, they played basketball with me and found out I was a good player. So they recruited me to the basketball team of the regiment headquarters. Then the good food there helped me to grow taller and stronger. I joined the division’s basketball team afterwards. The division’s basketball team? Wasn’t it a good thing? What fault did you commit that you became a C-grade soldier? If the railway corps are really transferred in the future, what will you do? Honestly, I haven’t thought so much. I just want to get my present work done. I came from a poor family, but it didn’t mean I’ll always be poor. I’m sure a poor child may do something big. Forget it. You don’t get it. Why don’t I get it? You didn’t suffer before, so a person like you couldn’t understand it even if you know it. What is a person like me? Wasn’t your father a doctor? Yeah. But he passed away when I was 6. Died from overwork beside the operating table. Your mother brought you up alone? Kind of. Then your mother must be a pretty woman, too. You know the reason I went to the headquarters? No. It wasn’t just about the medicines and the international call. I heard that a cook of your company was so badly ill that he couldn’t leave the toilet and you sent him to the regiment clinic before we came. But he got well without using any medicine at there. You went to investigate it? I thought the collective diarrhea was bizarre enough. You suspect that our illness was faked? That’s not what I mean. Smell it. Don’t you think the smell of the dirt is strange? So I suspect that it contains some mineral unknown which may cause diarrhea when it’s mixed with water. But we went here this spring and were alright when we drank the water. Why didn’t it happen until the summer? Because it didn’t rain. You’ve been keeping digging the well deeper. The deeper it is, the more the mud mixed with the water. Then there will be more and more such mineral. The cook recovered at the regiment clinic just because he had different water. To think that you’re really a good doctor. So if the patients have different water, maybe they can all recover themselves. I can bring a truck’s water back from the regiment headquarters each day. How could that be enough for a company? Then we shall use it sparingly. Sparingly? Commander Mu, your soldiers are doing hard work every day and are sweating a lot. If they can’t have sufficient water, they will be dehydrated. Such a condition is severer than diarrhea. What do you suggest then? I suggest we send the samples of the water and dirt to the Provincial Mineral Research Institute ASAP to see if it’s because of the water quality. A classmate of mine is working there, so I can tell her to get the test result quickly. If the test result confirms your suspicion, the headquarters will order us to move away, then my schedule is doomed. It’s just my suspicion, maybe it’s not because of the water. I’m just a person of strange ideas, but it won’t hurt to check it. I can let the headquarters send a car to pick me up tomorrow and send me to the nearest bus station Then I’ll go to the provincial capital. Dr. Mo is the daughter-in-law-to-be of our division commander. The commander’s son went to study in America. That’s not necessary. I can let my men send the samples to the military region. Won’t the military region send them to the Institute anyway? Then it will take one or two months. That will be enough. Enough for what? The truck is ready. Come. The driver is waiting for us. Here’s place for you. It’s cool up here. Drive. Let me see you. You’ve got flab. Dr. Wen, she pinched me. Save some water. The soldiers only have one bottle of water each day. OK. I heard they didn’t even make egg soup just to save water for us to bathe. Good then. What we have is egg bath. Isn’t it better than milk bath? Let me see, where’s the egg? No. Where’s the egg? No. Where’s the egg? Your egg. I could hear your laughing outside. Hello, Dr. Mo. Are you done? There’s a beautiful flower in the world. That is the blooming youth. The tough bones opened the petals. And the red blood watered it. Velvet flowers. So wonderful. Velvet flowers. Sounds like Li Guyi. Li Guyi sang it. I heard that even the art troupe tried to recruit Dr. Mo. No wonder. No wonder what? The buzz she has while singing. What buzz? Listen, be quiet. She changed the song. Don’t pick the wild flowers by the roadside. Why not pick them? It’s pointless to pick them. Remember my affection. Remember my love. Rise. Remember whose affection and love? Don’t you always complain that you can’t sleep enough? Since your squad has the most patients, I was going to tell you that you wouldn’t have to work after the midnight and just rest. For those who went to have IV at the clinic this afternoon, raise your hands. Wu Changsheng. Sir. Come forward. Squad commander. You were singing even when you were ill. Your shouts just now were full of vitality. So I couldn’t hear that you’re ill. Sir. The song could relax me and then alleviate my condition. I think you all have mental disease. Since there was a pretty young doctor, you had to pretend to be ill to see her, right? I’m warning you that a healthy man may get poisoned if he has too much medicine. Think about it, what is the medicine used for? For killing the germs. What will it poison if there’re no germs? You of course. Si… sir, what will happen if one’s poisoned? When one’s poisoned, there may be an incubation of 6 or 7 hours. He may be detoxified if he has the medicine before that. What medicine shall I have? That means you admit you’re poisoned. Comrade Wu, you’re taking the lead to get poisoned. No wonder all of your squad are poisoned. Write the names down for me afterwards. I’ll give you the cure later. Sir, didn’t you say we just had normal saline and dextrose? You lead them to waste dextrose and normal saline. You’ll all write self-criticism texts. Yes. Hey, is Dr. Mo pretty? I think she’s so pretty. Tell me then, was it wrong to peek at the pretty girl? I think it wasn’t wrong. Then don’t write the texts, but tomorrow you’ll work even harder tomorrow, take it as detoxifying. Did you hear me? Yes. Ghost. Why? You sang so well. Very well. Their lives matter more than the schedule. A classmate of mine is working there, so I can tell her to get the test result quickly. Some mineral unknown may cause diarrhea when it’s mixed with water. Dr. Mo. Sir. YoYo English Channel YouTube
