Features: He opened a window with his life, allowing us to see things we always wanted to see but never did. This is especially precious in the era of mass imitation and replication of information. — Tang Shizeng, a renowned journalist from Xinhua News Agency. A true account of the author's experience in the Iraq War, featuring shocking war scenes and profound reflections on life. He returned from Iraq; he sat quietly at a messy chair in an internet cafe, typing characters. His words sparked a war online, with the focal point being: Who was he? People guessed, were confused, excited, and debated, while he chose silence. He said, "This is just a love letter, and I am just an ordinary Chinese-American soldier." He returned to Iraq, bidding farewell to his loyal midnight listeners. He said, "How fortunate it is to be able to read and write in peace." Let us wish him well in the unpredictable desert, where he may find eternal peace.
People who carry out killing missions in the West often struggle with inner conflict. Their simple beliefs about life are shattered, leading them to seek escape. Many veterans resort to smoking marijuana at night. A saying among snipers is popular: When a reporter asks how many people they have killed, they typically reply, "I won’t give you the evidence that leads to hell." For this reason, I thank those mysterious gun barrels every day for passing me by in the shadows. Someone must have me, and I must believe that. I believe I was spared, so I can spare others. I can leave Iraq not in decline but as a normal person.
You can love a person, love a piece of land, but don’t sacrifice everything for that love. The world is not lacking in faith, but true faith first begins with the ability to make the people around you, including yourself, happy.
