One Hundred and Four Lives and One Man's Reputation
General Fiction一百零四个人的生命和一个人的名誉
Zhang Zuomin
I hesitated for a long time, should I write this story? Countless movies and TV dramas have this scene: the enemy - whether it is the Kuomintang or the Japanese Japs - walks out of the tunnel waving a white flag. But suddenly, the role is about to change. I can't imagine what it would be like: Battalion Commander Wang holding a white shirt high with both hands, walking toward the enemy troops with live ammunition and toward the American reporters with cameras. Although he held his head solemnly, without fear, humiliation, or guilt... He was surrendering after all. Of course, he is not alone. Following behind were 104 half-grown children, the oldest was 16 years old, and one was a girl. Later, an editor told me that since it happened in history, it should be written about. What the world thinks about it is other people's business.
