Changping, today's Gaoping City, Shanxi Province, between the east and west Liang Mountains, the Dan River near the valley. Shang Wen drove for three days and three nights before coming here. Shang Wen saw the unique geography here along the way. If there was National Geographic, Shang Wen would have been able to capture it all with his camera.

The wheat that has been planted in the valley has been harvested. This is already the border area of the Qin State. The state of Qin controlled most of Shangdang County. However, the eastern Taihang Mountain is mainly a customs clearance area. There was no occupation. If those areas were occupied, the Qin army could go directly down from the Taihang Mountains to attack Handan. Handan and Shangdang County are too close to each other.

That's why the Battle of Changping was chosen here. The strategic location here was too important for the Qin State and the Zhao State. Shang Wen didn't know all this when he read books before, but now he came here to check it out on the spot. I felt the difference in all this.

There was peace in the valley, and there was no sign of the great battle that had taken place many years ago. People who lived through that big war. The youngest is estimated to have become an old man.

"How many years have it been since the Battle of Changping?" Shang Wen asked, a captain officer next to him.

"It's about thirty. If you calculate it in detail, it is almost thirty-two years. The officer said.

"It's been more than thirty years. The changes here are no longer what the battlefield looked like back then. Shang Wen said with emotion.

"Let's prepare." Shang Wen said in a somewhat depressed mood.

"Yes, sir." Said the captain, who had undergone the new training.

Shang Wen couldn't close his eyes that night, because he slept near the battlefield back then. The wind whistling in the night seemed to tell of the war thirty-two years ago. The war lasted three years. The forces used by the Qin State were unprecedented, and the Zhao State was also unprecedentedly mobilized a large number of troops.

In the end, although Qin won the war, it also paid a huge price in casualties. The bones of more than 400,000 members of the Zhao army are still buried in this valley. This whistling night breeze seems to tell their grievances in the war, or the tragedy of the war.

"The road to reunification. It can't be piled up with blood. We can't send more people to death. Unification. Not such unity. Shang Wen said to himself.

The next day. A battalion of Qin soldiers came here to maintain order. At the same time, it is also to protect the safety of Shangwen. And Shang Wen only brought a chauffeur with him on his trip. This shocked the officers who came to protect them. And Shangwen believes that this is the best way to get close to the people.

At the same time, there were also a large number of local people. They are already part of the Qin people. The war of thirty-two years ago is a long way for them. They began to live a peaceful life.

In addition to the local people, there are also Zhao people, who come here to do business. Add to that a large number of journalists.

"To ladies and gentlemen. Good morning. Shang Wen said. The people looked amazed, but they got used to it. Because this is the opening sentence unique to the prime minister. It was said in the newspapers.

"The weather is fine today." At this time, it is already the end of August, and it is the time of autumn in the north.

"But my heart was very heavy. Because, thirty-two years ago, a three-year-long war broke out in this place. Those present probably still remember the war. Shang Wen said slowly.

"It was a terrible war. I didn't sleep all night last night. Listen to the whirring mountain wind. It's like the soldiers who died here are telling about the war. Shang Wen said slowly.

"I'm not here to commemorate how great this war was. It's reflection. Reflect on the impact of the war on us. Shang Wen said.

"The trauma of war is twofold. It doesn't matter if it's the winning side or the losing side. Both were harmed to varying degrees. This is war. Although our Qin State won the war. But the harm done to the people tells us that we are also losers. Shang Wen said.

"The state of Qin took the unification of the world as its manifest destiny. But can we unify the world by means of war in this way? Shang Wen asked. The people were puzzled. They still couldn't understand the emotion in Shang Wen's heart.

"Nope. It cannot be unified. Nor can it unify the hearts of such a calamity-stricken nation. Shang Wen paused.

"Enough blood has been shed in the war for unification. Here, right here, Changping. Under this land, the bones of more than 400,000 people of the Zhao army are buried here. Shang Wen brought up the old story. A lot of people seem to be deliberately avoiding all of this.

"A lot of people are reluctant to bring it up. But we have to talk about it. Because we have to be responsible. Take responsibility for the bloodshed. If the Qin State wants to be unified, then this responsibility cannot be shirked or evaded. ”

"After I came to power, I considered whether I could temporarily stop the pace of the united war. Can we not adopt such bloody and sacrificial means of warfare for reunification. This question is not correct. ”

"I think it's not a conflict, it's right. We can live in peace. We can avoid the bloodshed of war. Shang Wen said.

"The Xinzheng Four-Power Peace Treaty has just been signed. It stipulates that prisoners cannot be slaughtered at will. The lives and property of civilians will be more securely protected. This shows that we can live in peace. ”

"But the real problem is not that, but tells us that we can choose a better path to reunification than war. We can strengthen our ties through trade and trade. We can communicate with each other and respect each other. War is not the only option. ”

"A truly responsible major country should always reflect on itself. At the same time, the government should shoulder this responsibility with a high sense of responsibility. Rather than just doing it the wrong way. And the criterion of right and wrong is the people. Are our people guaranteed a better life? ”

"By the people, by the people, by the people, for the people, this is what a government should do." Shangwen quotes a classic passage from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

"For everything that happened in the past. I, all I can say to them, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. We are remiss in our duties. We did it wrong. Shang Wen said and saluted everyone present. The reporters quickly recorded.

"The government should pay more attention to the people. The Battle of Changping should cause us to reflect. Shang Wen said.

"I don't know what was said. But I think it's wrong to do the wrong thing. That's how it should be. We'll try to make it right. Shang Wen said.

"Thank you for your trust in us."
