曾经渴望战争
1966年“文革”初期,我父母从革命干部一下子被打成了“走资派”,我当兵没门、入党无望,被分配到了杭州临安县插队落户。当时“中苏珍宝岛事件”发生,我一心想报效祖国,就写血书,总算于1969年4月,我们到了黑龙江生产建设兵团。我所在的连叫“带岭武装连”,我被委任为三排机枪班班长,那些枪可全是真家伙,听人说,如果中苏开战,我们番号一变,立刻可以成为现役部队拉上前线。不过当时给我们的任务是挖一个地下坑道,代号“701”工程,地点是在离带岭镇40里外的原始森林里,那年我才19岁。
那时真的是要革命不要性命,打坑道,本来打风钻要用水,但我们嫌水枪麻烦,进度慢,就直接“打干眼”。打干眼粉尘大呀,一米外见不到人影。歇活了擤鼻子,擤出来都是水泥糊糊。生活条件差就不用说了,只有干粮,很少有肉类蔬菜。营养严重不良,加上卫生条件差,结果许多人都生疟疾。到了最后,一个加强连差不多只剩了一个排的人还能坚持,我就是这个排的代理排长,24小时连轴转,吃睡都在洞里,终于按时完成了任务。
大家没有怨言,只盼着战争快点爆发,可以上前线,抛头颅、洒热血、火线入党、建功立业、改变“知青”身份、那怕成为烈士!可中苏只有一些小摩擦,没有大规模的战争爆发。。。。。这实在让我们很失望:苏修你这个纸老虎,怎么就不敢打过来呢!
形势缓和了,“701”工程搁置了,我们的武装连也要谴散了,后勤女兵班的都已经在城里联系好工作了,我们的雄心壮志也在硒肺病的咳嗽中,在整理锅碗瓢盆的丁当声中日渐暗淡。被谴散的最后一道重要工序是上缴枪支,这是我们最恋恋不舍的。那天我突发奇想,说仗没捞着打,但这断铭心刻骨的日子不能忘,我们就留个影吧。大家都说好!结果我又做策划、又做导演、又做化妆、又当主演。去卫生所借来纱布和红药水,最后就炮制出了这么个“战地热血”的照片。
抱机枪的是副班长王乔乔,中间喊口号的是我,我的台词是;“轻伤不下火线!”“子弹打光了、上刺刀!”“共产党员,考验我们的时侯到了!”反正当时电影里有什么我就喊什么。
渴望战争,现在人肯定很吃惊,甚至会说我们病态,但通过这张照片,我要告诉你的是:那是真实的!在那样的年代。

Longing For A War
It was in 1966, the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) started before long. My parents became zouzipai (people in authority carrying out capitalist line) from revolutionary cadres, I could neither join the army nor join the Party and was sent to Lin'an County, Hangzhou City to be a member of people's commune and settle in the countryside. When the Zhenbao Island Incident between China and the USSR took place, I was eager to requite the motherland and wrote a pledge in my own blood at last I went to Heilongjiang Production and Construction Corps. The company I belonged to was called "Dailing Armed Company" and I was appointed as squad leader of the machine gun squad of the Third Company. Our machine guns were all true and it was said that if the war broke out and the designation of our unit was changed we could go to the front as regular army at once. However, the task given to us was to dig an underground tunnel in the virgin forest 40 kilometers away from the Town of Dailing and it was named
The Plan 701. I was nineteen years old then.
In those days we would really work for revolution in spite of life. To dig a tunnel, water is necessary to operate an air drill but we thought it too troublesome and slow so we drilled without water. The powder it produced was so heavy that no figure could be seen more than a meter away. While we had a rest and blew our noses what came out was all slurry. Our living conditions were very poor.: There was only solid foodstuff, vegetables and meat were hardly to be seen. All were seriously malnourished. The sanitary conditions were bad, as a result a lot of people had got malaria. Finally only a platoon could sustain among a reinforced company and I was the deputy platoon leader working day and night, eating and sleeping all in the tunnel, the task was finished on time.
All of us never uttered a word of complaint but looked forward to the breaking out of the war soon so that we would dedicate ourselves to the motherland to perform meritorious deeds to change the status as school leavers, even gave our life for her. However there was just tiny brushes between China and the USSR, the big war did not come about at all. It disappointed us too much: You revisionists of the USSR, why did you dare not to come and fight?
The situations turned relaxed and our company would be disbanded. The women soldiers of the rear service had found jobs in the city and our great ambition faded day by day in the coughs of silicosis as well as the ding-dongs of washing dishes. The last procedure of disbanding was to hand in guns. We were reluctant to part with our guns! On that day I happened to have an idea to have a photograph taken as a souvenir for we lost the chance to take part in a campaign but those days should never be forgotten. Everyone said it was good. I became a schemer and a director and a beautician and I acted the leading role. We borrowed gauze and mercurochrome from the clinic then produced such a photograph--Righteous Ardor On The Battleground.
The one holding the machine gun was vice squad leader Wang Qiaoqiao and the one shouted slogans in the middle was me. What I shouted was, "Not to leave the front line while suffering minor wound!" "Fight with bayonet after running out of bulletins!" "Communist Party members, it is time for us to be tested!" I shouted whatever there was in the movies then.
Nowadays someone must think it strange that we longed for a war and maybe say that we were morbid. I will tell you that it was true in this photograph in those days.
This photograph was taken in the summer of 1971 in Dailing, Heilongjiang. The camera was Seagull 4B,F:11.T 25; black-and-white film of "Shanghai" 21 degrees, washed D-72.
