Chapter 1225 Panicked

Wei Lan often does not understand this big boy who is several years younger than her.

She can always see a lot of aura from Li Mu that is impossible for him at his age. Just like when Li Mu stood on the stage and touched the background wall through the silk cloth, she really couldn't understand that he was in his early twenties. The young man, where did such a strong sense of historical mission come from?

In the hearts of the older generation, the grief about the suffering of the nation during the Anti-Japanese War is naturally full of blood and bone marrow, but for the young people of this era, they have no chance to touch the deep bone marrow. Regarding the war of resistance, most of their intuitive feelings are superficial, such as accusing and scolding Japan for the culprit, applauding the atomic bomb dropped by the United States, and very few young people can be like Li Mu. A year ago, an unknown peasant woman and child were saddened.

Many things are easy when you look at them, but the more you look at them, the more difficult it is. Just like many young people like to talk freely about the international situation and the world situation, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the situation in North Korea, the war in the Middle East and the war on terror, He can talk about any topic for an hour or two, but nine out of ten such people don't know how much a pound of rice or an egg is today.

In Wei Lan's eyes, it is rare to see people who can stabilize their minds, be careful, and look down on them. This is a skill that she has longed for and has worked hard for for a long time, but she has not been able to learn it.

It's as if on a night without clouds and fog, anyone who looks up at the vast Milky Way may be across countless light-years within the visual range, but it is extremely difficult to see a little more concretely.

Ordinary people open their eyes wide, but at most they can only see the outline of the lunar craters and the huge craters. The details of any other celestial body are invisible to the naked eye. At this time, only with sufficient astronomical knowledge and professional equipment. To be able to see the details of other celestial bodies.

For those who know nothing about astronomy, give him a good enough astronomical telescope, he may not be able to see Saturn's rings in a year, and he may not be able to find Ganymede in ten years, and those who can endure loneliness, The person who can receive the smallest details in his heart can find one after another in the vast starry sky, and name it after his own name.

Before getting to know Li Mu, Wei Lan felt that only with the continuous growth of people's age, the accumulation of knowledge, and the continuous improvement of experience, can the scattered eyes gradually become more and more detailed. The same goes for the very small, because his own heat is not enough, but Li Mu has subverted this kind of cognition he has always had.

Some people take decades to burn that fire, while others seem to be born with a fire.

...

Before the official start of the press conference, the huge press conference site was already full of media reporters.

According to the staff, there were more than 800 media reporters present today. Basically, some well-known media from all over the world came. The whole conference venue was as lively as a vegetable market.

An hour before the press conference, Li Mu met Chennault's daughter and two existing members of the Flying Tigers in the lounge prepared by the hotel.

During the conversation with them, Li Mu heard an extremely shocking oral history, especially the two existing Flying Tiger players. Although they are both in their 80s and 90s, they are in very good physical condition, and their thinking and expression skills are also very good. Clearly, they clearly remembered many details when they were in the Flying Tigers, and they remembered the entire process of almost every lift-off operation.

Everyone, including Li Mu, Spielberg, and other creators, was shocked and moved by the oral histories of the two veterans.

When the two talked about their greatest wish in this life, their answers were surprisingly consistent: they both wanted to go back to China in their lifetimes, go back to the place where they once fought, and take a look at the people and things there, In their own words, it was a place they had desperately defended, and it was a great comfort to them to see that the people there were now living and working in peace and contentment.

One of the old Flying Tigers players named Paul Crawford said that when they were in China, they formed a deep friendship with many Flying Tigers in China, but after returning to the United States, many of them gradually lost Even many American Flying Tigers have gradually lost contact, so he still has a wish, hoping that Li Mu can help find more existing Flying Tigers in China and the United States.

Li Mu instantly thought of the words "Veterans Don't Die". This is a public welfare initiative launched by someone on the Internet in a previous life. The purpose is to find those existing veterans of the Anti-Japanese War and solve some problems in their lives. Li Mu once responded to this public welfare activity Very concerned, when he found that many veterans are now in their 80s and 90s, and they don't even have a shelter from the wind and rain, when he found that those veterans who have fought for the country have hundreds of people every month. When he didn't even have the subsistence allowances, when he heard that some veterans were poor all their lives, and even had no money to see a doctor when they got old, a man in his thirties also burst into tears.

If it is a poor child or teenager, then give him food and clothing, and give him the opportunity to receive education, and he still has decades to change his destiny;

If it is a poor youth, then give him a chance to work, and he will have decades to work hard;

If it is a poor middle-aged and elderly person, giving him a subsistence allowance can at least guarantee him in his later years;

But if it was the veterans who had generously died for this nation during the Anti-Japanese War, but now they have been devastated by reality, what should be given to them in order to comfort their old and traumatized hearts and souls?

When the young people in this country are fanatical about stars from all walks of life, does anyone bow to the veterans in front of them, even if it is a salute for them?

The year of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War was 1945. Fifty-eight years have passed since then. Even people born in 1945 are now 58 years old, not to mention those who lived between 1937 and 1945. , who once carried big swords and guns and fought bravely against foreign enemies for this nation.

Even if he took up a gun and went to the battlefield at the age of eighteen, he would be at least seventy or eighty years old now...

Thinking of this, Li Mu's heart suddenly felt like a knife. He didn't know how many veterans who had participated in the Anti-Japanese War were still alive, but it was certain that every day in the future, the number of veterans would only decrease and would not increase.

One day, all the veterans who participated in the Anti-Japanese War will die. At that time, no one will be able to tell others the history of that year. How did they take up guns and rush into the battlefield when they were teenagers; How to use flesh and blood to resist the invaders' tanks and artillery; what kind of spirit did they use to die back then, and they poured their blood for this nation one after another...

Thinking of those who are the only ones left, they may be lingering in shacks in the countryside at the moment, or they may be picking up the abandoned bottles and jars by the garbage dumps in the city. gas.

Li Mu temporarily bid farewell to the two veterans and Mr. Chennault's daughter, and came to the corner of the hotel's fire stairs by himself, lighting a cigarette.

At this moment, Li Mu felt that he really had to do something, to make a movie just to justify their names and make their history public, but for those veterans who are suffering in life, such a movie will not help them. To any substantive help, it must be a more painful thing for them to see such a movie in a shack, next to a garbage dump.

So, Li Mu took out his mobile phone, wanted to make a call to the country, wanted to order a suitable person to help him travel all over the country, to count how many veterans of the Anti-Japanese War still survived, and to see how these veterans are doing now , how many people are struggling and what kind of help they all need.

But with the mobile phone in hand, Li Mu didn't call out after spending enough time on a cigarette.

too difficult.

There are too few veterans, like black pearls scattered in the ocean. If you want to find them all, this workload is not something that can be done by one person. It is necessary to establish a complete system, and establish a system that can perfectly run this system. Hardware platform.

In other words, this is a big project with both software and hardware. Only software is developed. If the hardware platform cannot be brought up, it is no use. But if the hardware platform is ok and the software is not scientific and reasonable enough, then the efficiency of the entire system will become very low.

It is difficult for anyone to do such a thing, unless you take the lead, so in this case, there is no need to make a phone call.

Li Mu sighed lightly, lit another cigarette with the cigarette butt, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and smashed it out with his toes. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "What is the problem with the omnipotent Li Mu?"

Li Mu turned his head subconsciously and saw Wei Lan standing behind him with a smile on his face, and said in surprise, "You walk without making a sound?"

"You didn't hear it." The smile on Wei Lan's face seemed to be a little bit of her sister's doting on her younger brother, but she also felt a little distressed. She reached out and touched Li Mu's face, and said softly, "Do you listen to the two of you? After the old Flying Tigers said that history, you are a little breathless?"

Li Mu nodded: "It's overwhelming."

Wei Lan said with relief: "Actually, you don't need to feel so heavy. You see that they have lived so long and are living well now. This is a gratifying thing."

Li Mu sighed deeply and said, "You feel very relieved to see that they are doing well, but what I'm thinking of is the existing veterans like them in our country, I don't know how they are doing now, although they are big Some may be taken care of by the government, but the country is so big that some veterans will be missed. It is very likely that an old man begging along the street in the city is a veteran who once carried a gun on the battlefield. Thinking of them, I always feel that I should do something for them. order something."

Wei Lan looked at Li Mu's solemn expression and couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged him gently, put her face on his shoulder, and said in his ear: "Dear, try not to think deeply about this kind of thing, It is too heavy to think deeply, and I am afraid that you will add too much psychological burden because of these heavy history..."

Li Mu said, "But in front of me, there is always a group of lonely, lonely old people's faces flying around and lingering..."
