Born to Burn, Born Young

This may be the choice I regret least in my entire life. From the moment we stepped through this door, we were destined to live differently from ordinary people. On the land we love, we defend the beliefs we hold fast to with our blood, our sweat, and our bodies. We are a special group, an ordinary group, a contradictory group. This land is our home; our families of birth come second. As the five-starred red flag flies in the wind above us, and the red-and-blue flag ripples in the evening breeze, our silhouettes in the glow of the setting sun embody a solemn and sacred mission. We come from every corner of the country, from countless households. In the end, the tides of history will carry us to every inch of land we defend. The darkness before dawn is simply a road we must travel. I hope the glow of dusk will shine on our extraordinary lives. And then I’ll wave goodbye to the deepest secret in my heart.
