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!"
GlobalTimes did acknowledge the video is real.
Watch the video. Do they look happy and enthused?

All dressed up, no place to go.
Of course it’s real. But it’s obvious that they are singing and not crying.
There are some vids on youtube about one of the Indian camps on the border with China. The weather and altitude take out more soldiers than does combat.
At that time, they were bidding farewell to their parents and sang the famous military song Green Flowers in the Army, and they sang Go home when you celebrate your work, completely contrary to the mood created by Taiwanese media,
Thanks.
That law ended some time ago.
Kaput.
No more.
Imagine every solider is an only child in a culture that boys are preferred.
We lost in Vietnam.
Not to many people won there.
In other words, they are good at taking on unarmed people. A lesson here for all of us. Don’t let them take our guns.
ROFLMAOLOLPIMP Now that there is funny !!! Not that war and/or death is funny but that is a humorous way to put it.
Ping.
