"It's too difficult for us," someone wiped their eyes and expressed what everyone was thinking. They had come to the military camp with dreams and aspirations, but the excitement they felt at the beginning was now replaced by sadness.
When they left their hometowns, some places, like Wang Ye's, sent off their troops with glory and the attention of the masses. The veterans would beat drums and welcome them warmly, even providing water to soak their feet. At that time, everyone thought it was wonderful and heartwarming.
But now, after comparing the short period from yesterday to today, they realized that it was just an illusion. The heaven they experienced before was fleeting. They had to endure what felt like two years of hell ahead.
