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!"
They’re just emotional because they didn’t make the final cut at the beauty pageant.
I think what we’re seeing here is a group demonstration of why the have buck teeth and strong forearms.
Three ways you know this is fake news:
1. Any 12 year old can take a random youtube video and put whatever headline they want on it. And sit back and watch supposed adults relish this newfound “proof” of their opinions.
2. Have you ever seen soldiers getting sashes to wear for their deployment to the front? Me neither.
3. There is no flat land with broad tree-lined avenues within driving distance of the Pakistan Chinese border.
I’d love to think that Chinese soldiers actually know the futility of their country’s pointless provocations of every neighbor (and lots of other countries like Australia) and the danger of the better trained Indian army.
But more likely this is a video of a team of cadets that just lost some competition.
in 3. of course I meant the Chinese Indian (not Pakistan) border.
Agreed.
These guys are ‘ Gung Ho ‘ and singing their hearts out. Lyrics and what they mean to them are bringing tears to their eyes.
Has China ever won a war in the last 500years?
????
China completely stomped India in 1962.
LOL! I love it!!!
Go India! Smash in those heads!!
Have you ever watched Chinese singers? I have. Just like cats getting their tails stepped on - screeching, weird facial expressions, etc. And they're actually expressing joy doing it.
You don’t know Chinese boys very well. They are perfumed princelings.
The PLA is not volunteer - these are two year conscripts that come from single child homes. Mommy has always wrapped them in bubble wrap to keep them safe. Going away to fight Indian soldiers who are career infantry? Ha.
More popcorn, and more body bags please.
Nope but I’ve seen Norks doing that.
That’s why the video was deleted.
Impossible. I’ve heard by shitbirds on FR that China could “crush us”.
As mom-in-law entered her 90's she began singing Chinese songs. My wife and her siblings never heard her sing before; an elderly neighbor from China explained that she sang while in her teens. When she sang in the assisted living, I asked her to keep it down, as it sounded annoying to me. But the other residents (all Chinese) said it was wonderful. A culture thing. My wife was born and raised here, and the singing annoyed her also. We've watched other Chinese singers outdoors in Chinatown with the same results. Sadly, mom-in-law passed last month at the age of 96. We donated all her music CDs and DVDs to the facility.
Very nice. One of the most eloquent posts I’ve every seen.
I think they’re just singing Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.
Reminds me of the horrors of the “White War” in WWI.
One thousand words...
China mostly won the China versus China war in the late 40’s. But like most victories in Asia, the outcome is still “too soon to tell”.
