The blue Mediterranean Sea is calm, and the bow of the cruise ship pushes the sea and sails quietly forward. Slip on other passengers and lean on the side of the boat to gaze out at the scenery in the distance, or lie back on a beach chair and soak up the sun. An albatross soaring in the sky, probably tired of flying and looking for a place to rest, aimed at the cruise ship sailing below and began to descend in altitude, gracefully flapping its huge wings to slow down.

The grace of the albatross vanished as soon as its feet touched the ship's splint, and it made a slight flat fall with its left foot and right foot in full view, slid forward for a distance, rolled and stood up again, folded its wings and regained its previous elegance, but its white feathers were a little messy.

The passengers on deck were amused by the funny sight, and they all held up their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures of the sudden arrival of the albatross. Jiang Yunfeng, who also came to the deck to breathe, saw this albatross standing there with his head held high and arrogant, unmoved by the passengers around him taking pictures, and saw that it was not afraid of human beings and was interested, so he stepped forward and wanted to feed the albatross some dried fish bought to satisfy its cravings.

But as soon as he took out the dried fish from the bag, he was stopped by the crew of the cruise ship before he could feed it, and the crew explained it in English with an extremely strong Turkish accent. Jiang Yunfeng, who was not good at English, was directly blinded by the crew, looking at him with a black question mark, only to see that his mouth was constantly babbling, but he didn't understand what it meant.

The man with the camera on the side who kept changing angles to shoot, dressed like a photography artist, couldn't stand it, he walked over and first communicated with the crew member to persuade the crew to leave before turning back, looking at Jiang Yunfeng's Asian appearance, he first repeated the words of the crew just now in Korean.

Jiang Yunfeng waved his hand to show that he didn't understand, the man rubbed his temples and had a headache, and accidentally saw that Jiang Yunfeng's mobile phone interface was Chinese Simplified before he realized it, and said in Chinese with a strange tone, "The crew gentleman just now said, please don't feed wild animals casually." ”

"Oh, it turns out that you can speak Chinese, so it's much easier to communicate." Jiang Yunfeng, who just wanted to use the voice translation software in his mobile phone, heard the other party speak Chinese, although the tone was a little strange, fortunately he could understand, put away the mobile phone and stuffed the dried fish into his mouth and replied apologetically: "I'm really sorry, we are used to feeding animals in domestic zoos." ”

The man was very serious and serious about what kind of harm would be caused by randomly feeding wild animals, as well as the relevant laws and punishments of other countries. Jiang Yunfeng was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know that his casual behavior would inadvertently violate the laws of other countries, and he would also bring shame on his motherland.

While the two were talking, the resting albatross was probably resting enough, flapping its wings and preparing to take off to continue its journey, and the surrounding passengers consciously retreated to the sides to make way for it to take off. Unfortunately, the running distance was too short, and the albatross, who had just taken off gracefully and was about to soar, tripped over the side of the ship due to insufficient height, and plunged into the sea outside the side of the ship, and the deck burst into laughter again.

The albatross got out of the water, shook the water on its body, stepped on the calm sea, took off gracefully, climbed high and soared into the distance. Jiang Yunfeng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, rubbed his sore abdominal muscles, and continued to talk with the man in front of him, who was at most seven or eight years older than himself, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

The man sat down and began to tell his story, his name was Tom. Sheffield, American. He was once a non-commissioned officer in the U.S. Marine Corps and fought in Afghanistan and Iraq for several years. His childhood dream was to become an adventure photographer and show the world to the public, but his powerful father threw him into the Marine Corps and pushed him into battle.

The naïve Tom thought he could become a war correspondent with the army, and under his father's special care, he became a soldier with a gun to kill. Finally, taking advantage of the opportunity to rotate back to the United States, Tom bravely stood in front of his father and said his dream.

How could his father, a four-star Marine Corps general, agree with him, reprimand him to his face for being naïve, and put him in the Marine Corps Officer Cadet School at the U.S. Marine Corps Quantico Base, and then return to the battlefield after 12 weeks of study. The negotiation between the two fathers and sons fell out, and Tom, who could no longer bear the arrangement of his own life, said no to his majestic father for the first time! Flip the table and leave the house.

After the discharge report was handed in, it was strangely approved quickly, and Tom thought that his father had given up on his only son. Leaving the Marine Corps and moving to Discovery as an independent photographer, Tom was finally able to realize his dream and live the life he loved.

Even the actual record of the Syrian civil war that Jiang Yunfeng likes very much is also from the hand of the guy in front of him, and even Jiang Yunfeng, who has watched it repeatedly many times, feels that he will be hit if he is not careful across the screen, which shows how close this guy was at that time, it is estimated that he is about to slap the camera on the faces of the warring parties.

"Didn't you get so close to you when you made that documentary about the Syrian civil war?" Jiang Yunfeng now remembered the scene of the bullets flying in the camera, and his back was still cold, even the warm sunlight of the Mediterranean Sea did not make him feel the slightest warmth.

"Scared, of course scared! There is no one in this world who is not afraid of death as long as he is a normal person. Tom put the lid on his camera lens, and said in a slow but determined tone, "But just like Mary, who died in Syria in 12 years. As Colvin said, "If I can't stop the war, tell the world the truth." ”

"Even so, you can use unmanned equipment while shooting, so you don't have to get so close?"

Tom smiled, took out a notebook that looked a little old from his jacket pocket, opened it, took out a photo to show Jiang Yunfeng, and asked with a smile: "Do you know this photo?" ”

The photograph is a black-and-white photograph of a soldier who was shot and fell. This is the most famous photo in the history of war correspondents, and it is impossible for Jiang Yunfeng, who is a military fan, not to know it, so he blurted out "Know!" This is Robert Capa's most famous photograph, Death of a Warrior. ”

"You even know Robert Capa?! Do you know what he said? Jiang Yunfeng casually said the photographer's name, which surprised Tom.
