Chapter 2: The Darling of Fate (I)

In 1938, the film "Eight Hundred Heroes" written by Yang Hansheng and directed by Ying Yunwei came out, this film is based on Xie Jinyuan leading more than 400 soldiers to face a hundred times his own army in the Sixing Warehouse, and stick to the real battle example of four days and four nights, played by Yuan Muzhi Xie Jinyuan, and the famous movie star Chen Boer played Yang Huimin.

As soon as this anti-Japanese war film full of patriotic enthusiasm was released, it set off a patriotic upsurge in the whole of China, looking at the national flag rising above the Sixing warehouse, and looking at the Chinese [***] people who had retreated again and again in the face of the soldiers, they used their own flesh and blood to stand up to the backbone of the Chinese nation, and I don't know how many people shed tears in front of the screen.

If the Sixing Warehouse made Xie Jinyuan a hero of the world deservedly, then Yang Huimin became the darling of fate with the help of this history. During the national release of this film, Yang Huimin was invited to march around to promote, and it was on that high podium that she faced unfamiliar but enthusiastic faces, such a little girl who was only seventeen years old, and she went to talk to everyone about the battle that happened in Shanghai, where the two sides invested millions of troops; She told everyone what they did as a Boy Scout in a war that was destined to go down in history; She told everyone about the Chinese [***] people who fought to the end on the battlefield, had no food, their clothes were torn into strips of cloth, and when they finally withdrew from Shanghai, even the soles of their shoes were polished; She told everyone about Xie Jinyuan, and said that his subordinates who claimed to be eight hundred warriors...... Yang Huimin is not a politician who plays with power, let alone the kind of diplomat who is good at dancing with long sleeves, she only knows how to tell what she saw with her own eyes and heard with her own ears, recalled the scenes and scenes of the past, and remembered the big boy who raised a smile at her across the Suzhou Creek, obviously they had moved their hearts to each other, but they were destined to break up, and tears could not stop flowing out of Yang Huimin's beautiful eyes like stars in the night.

It is because of this that Yang Huimin's speech will have a more touching heaviness and poignant, and there will be an additional resonance and resonance that can make every listener's soul tremble. When Yang Huimin finally finished everything, stood on the podium, and bent his waist deeply in front of everyone, it sounded like a storm of applause and unyielding shouts from all the audience.

It was under the call of the "Eight Hundred Heroes" movie and Yang Huimin, that Xie Jinyuan, who was still alive and still in the lonely military camp in Shanghai, and in his own way under the guidance of the heroes who continued to fight, I don't know how many students who were still on the university campus threw down the pen in their hands and walked into the barracks; I don't know how many hot-blooded men said goodbye to their relatives and beloved girls, sang the unyielding national anthem, and strode towards the battlefield.

As the "ambassador of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression" elected by the Kuomintang, in August 1938, Yang Huimin was assigned to attend the Second World Youth Peace Conference held in Warsaw, New York, USA. It was in the United States that Yang Huimin was heroically welcomed by patriotic overseas Chinese.

Just listening to the name of this congress, it is not difficult to imagine that this is a conference that advocates peace and opposes fascist war. Yang Huimin was striding towards the venue in a conference dress with a Chinese logo when she suddenly saw an Asian walking towards her.

He has obviously received systematic and strict etiquette training, and every move carries an impeccable gentlemanly demeanor, but also a heroic toughness. And his height of one hundred and eighty-five centimeters, and the smile full of sunshine at the corner of his mouth, made his whole body full of a strange charm that could only belong to the Oriental.

Just as the two men nodded and smiled at each other, their eyes fell on the logo of each other's placket almost simultaneously.

The smile suddenly froze from the faces of the two people.

"Yang Huimin!" The big boy standing opposite Yang Huimin, fluent in Chinese, called out her name in one mouth, "I heard that China will also send representatives to this conference this time, but I didn't expect to meet such a 'war of resistance' hero as you!" I've seen the photos on your posters back home, but to be honest, you look more beautiful than the ones on those posters! ”

After a brief moment of surprise, the corners of his mouth once again raised an impeccable sunny smile, but Yang Huimin clearly saw that in his eyes, there was a fleeting disdain.

Judging from the current international situation, China's repeated defeats on the battlefield of resistance against Japanese aggression, and the fact that even the national political axe was forced to move the capital, he does have the qualifications to despise Yang Huimin.

"I'm sorry, I don't know your name, and I really don't think I need to know your name."

Yang Huimin was originally a girl who was not afraid of heaven and earth, with arrogance and chivalry. When she thought that she came here, representing the people of the whole of China, and even more representing those who were fighting bloody battles against strong enemies on the battlefield, Yang Huimin was even more courageous. When she straightened her waist slightly and smiled again, a kind of self-confidence and freedom cultivated by a long-term tour of the country, receiving cheers from the crowd again and again, and being respected and even worshiped with heroic etiquette again and again, made this girl who was only seventeen years old suddenly have a metallic dazzling aura on her body.

Yang Huimin looked the other party's uniform up and down, and said with a smile: "Because I really can't think of any reason why a country that believes in militarism and constantly provokes wars of aggression against neighboring countries would come to participate in a world youth conference that advocates peace." Maybe...... Your ministry has already intervened in the congress for political reasons, and regarded this congress as a step to show its strength and win more status on the international stage, so they will send a professional soldier who has just reached adulthood, but God knows how long he has been in the barracks, and it is even more difficult to say whether he has had blood on his hands, to participate in this peace conference? ”

The man standing in front of Yang Huimin still had a modest and sunny smile on his face, but when he stared at Yang Huimin's eyes, he suddenly condensed dangerously, and then slowly relaxed again. He looked up and down at the Chinese girl named Yang Huimin in front of him, he had seen a lot of information about Yang Huimin from the intelligence agency of the Ministry of Military Affairs in the country, and he also gave a considerable evaluation to this girl scout who risked his life to send a national flag into the Sixing warehouse, but it was not until this time that he found out that he still underestimated this Chinese girl who was only seventeen years old!

"That's right, I'm Warrant Officer Matsushita Kawa, who is subordinate to the Army Department of the Great Empire. I must affirm that our Yamato nation is a peace-loving nation, and although it is a pity that the Sino-Chinese War broke out now, throughout the history of mankind, this is a process that must be passed for a backward nation to become advanced in civilization. ”

Warrant Officer Matsushita Chuan stared straight at Yang Huimin, and said proudly: "Two hundred years ago, both your country and our empire believed in the policy of closing the country to the outside world, and they were once opened by the Western powers with warships, and they were forced to bend their proud waists under the iron hooves of the Western powers. The difference is that you China has been opened to the country by the Western powers again and again, and you have signed treaties that humiliate the country again and again, and you have nearly 10 million square kilometers of land and huge materials, but you are accustomed to surviving with a groveling attitude. After the Meiji Restoration, we said that the empire was a thousand miles away in terms of politics, economy, and military. ”

"It is our own actions to prove to the world that our yellow-skinned Orientals are also an excellent race, and they can also be strong and qualified enough to keep them in the necessary respect and courtesy for us! However, if we want to change the prejudice against the Orientals that the whole world has slowly developed over the past two hundred years, it is not enough for us to rely on the efforts of one country, we need the whole of Asia to become strong and become a decisive field in the world. Only in this way will we be able to establish the strength and dignity of the whole of Asia in the eyes of the world public in the shortest possible time. It is with such good wishes and ideas that we will consume our precious energy and talents to build a Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere. We want to help you, so that you China can get rid of backwardness and barbarism in the shortest possible time, but you China, not only do you not appreciate it, but you are still shouting every day to protest and protest, I really don't understand, what qualifications do those who preach this kind of slogan that obviously radicalizes racial hatred and intensify national war come to participate in this second world youth peace conference advocating peace! ”

Quietly listening to the generous speech of the warrant officer Matsushitagawa, Yang Huimin took out a small dagger from his pocket without saying a word. Warrant Officer Matsushitagawa, who has received strict military training, can see at a glance that although the small dagger in Yang Huimin's hand is very similar to the fruit knife that can cut the apple skin in the girl's hand, whether it is the arc of the blade, or the bleeding grooves on both sides of the blade, or the serration teeth on the back of the knife that seem to exist only for aesthetics, they all illustrate the same problem...... This is a murderous weapon!
