Oh, No. No. No, we can't.
I heard a story once. It said:
In the 1980s, the chief of the general staff asked a general:
"If USSR army attack Beijing, how long could you defend?"
"72 hours, sir!"
"hmm... When could you organize counter-attack?"
"Sorry, sir. What I said is the time how long USSR Army wipe out all of us.
You have 72 hours to withdraw from Beijing."
I has inquired of my father (who used to be on active service) about whether
the story is true. He answer: "No, not real. 48 hours is more correct. When
I was serving in 张家口, the Beijing's north gate, our duty was serving as
cannon fodder for 48 hours if USSR army attack Beijing."
For short, as a Chinese saying goes, 瘦死的骆驼比马大(A skeleton camel is
bigger than a fat horse). China is a fat horse, we still have a long way to
go.
That's my answer.
Let's finish on a lighter note. In later 1980s, my father was serving in 张
家口(Zhangjiakou), the city which will host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
口(kǒu)'s original meaning is mouth and extended meaning is gate, gates of
the Great Wall. There are a lot of mountains in 张家口. My father said, the
mountains have been hollowed by him and his comrades for building bomb
shelters. There are hundreds of bomb shelters in the mountains. There are
bomb shelters in every mountains under the Great Wall.
When you visit 张家口 during the Olympic Games, you will see the mountains.
While you skiing, there may be a cave my father dug under your feet. Ha ha,
just a joke. Hope the caves never be used. Cheer for Olympics, cheer for
peace. |
