Soul-Remembering Gun

During the war between the Eastern Federation and the Western Alliance, a special sniper rifle quietly appeared. It's called the "Soul-Memory Gun" - whenever someone pulls the trigger with it, they will see the entire life of the person hit at that moment. The creator of this gun, Dr. Cheng Yiwen, lost his only son on the front line ten years ago. He spent all his efforts to develop this gun, not to create a more efficient killing weapon, but to allow everyone who pulls the trigger to see the life of the person opposite: their childhood, family, dreams, and all the ordinary details that were erased by the war. The gun changed hands many times during the war. Lin Chuan, a soldier from the Eastern Federation, used it to hit Zhou Ye, a college student from the Western Federation. He saw every scene of him entering college from a small western county, staying up late in the laboratory, and telling his mother on the phone that he was safe. Western Alliance sniper Amin used it to hit civilian Aisha, experiencing the despair of this mother who devoted herself to her daughter's illness and counted "one, two, three" on the balcony waiting for death. Medical soldier Zhao Zhining used it to hit the young Rashid, and felt the fear of the child who was watching the road on the side of the valley path and going to the battlefield for the first time. The war is over. Not because of who won, but because someone finally saw - saw the forgotten memories, saw the ignored humanity, saw the choices that still exist in the war.
