AIPEI (Taiwan News) — As tensions continue to simmer on the Sino-Indian border, a video surfaced on Sunday (Sept. 20) showing People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers crying as they are allegedly deployed to the border.
On Sunday, Pakistani comedian Zaid Hamid uploaded a video showing several PLA recruits crying on a bus as they are allegedly "transferred to Ladakh Border to face Indian Army [sic]." Hamid then wrote that China's one-child policy is "seriously hurting the motivation level of our Chinese brothers."
He then added, "We Pakistani support you China. Stay Brave." Although Pakistan is an ally of China, Hamid appeared to be poking fun at the tender, green recruits.
The footage was originally posted on the WeChat page of Fuyang City Weekly, but it was soon deleted. The original post shows 10 fresh recruits from Fuyang City's Yingzhou District in China's Anhui Province.
All of the new troops were reportedly college students, and five of them had "proactively volunteered to serve in Tibet," which borders the Ladakh region where the bloody Galwan Valley skirmish took place in June of this year. The video was reportedly filmed at the Fuyang Railway Station as they prepared to head to a military camp in Hebei Province.
In the video, the soldiers can be seen sobbing hysterically as they struggle to sing the words to the PLA song "Green Flowers in the Army" (軍中綠花). A Chinese netizen who goes by the handle @waynescene reposted the video on Sunday and wrote "They were told that they would be going to the front lines after they got on the bus. The cannon fodder are crying!"
Given the altitude and weather of the China-India border, I might cry, too!
Never get involved in a land war in Asia.
It’s always good advice, but perhaps easier for us to follow than for China.
Fiddle - they’re singing their hearts out.
They know they are dead. That they are just being used as cannon fodder.
"The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia,"
but only slightly less well-known is this:
Never go in against a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line. "
No per diem?
Maybe someone told them a funny joke and they are laughing:
I heard Xi Jingping is going to publish his own little red book of quotes like Mao....
It’s going to be called “That’s what Xi Said.”
“Fiddle - they’re singing their hearts out”.
BINGO! I can’t believe people actually think they’re crying.
They’d be shot.
But what about all the super-duper secret weapons system China has? They can send in some stealth jets. Maybe their new aircraft carriers can help them on the Sino-Indian border.
Tears result from being overcome by emotion.
The tears are of happiness for being able to defend the CCp
China's one-child policy is "seriously hurting the motivation level of our Chinese brothers."
Actually, these are American snowflakes upset by Trump's reelection. It really sucks to be an only child.
If true I’m sorry for them. No one chooses to be born into that commie misery. They have no choice in this matter :(
For them, a fate worse than Nazi soldiers getting sent to the Russian front. And right before winter sets in, too. Maybe they can build snowmen and learn to ski? Hot chocolate every night before bed? These guys know they will be future popsicles.
Tough as slant eyed drill instructors...

PLA got its ass kicked the 2 times it went against its neighbors, Vietnam and India.
