In 2006, a shocking news detonated the Internet. A 19-year-old Chinese boy, Bai Xiaobao, risked his life and became a mercenary in Iraq with only two In a year, he bought a mansion for his parents and became a local celebrity in Shili Baxiang. As soon as the news came out, it immediately sparked domestic heated discussion.
You know, that is Iraq, full of gunsmoke, and there is a rain of guns and bullets everywhere. If there is a slight mistake, it will be killed. Then the question is, what is the reason, let a young adult choose to stay away from his parents, regardless of the danger Choose to go to Iraq to be a mercenary? What life and death test did he encounter there?
In 1987, Bai Xiaobao was born in a poor family in Shaanxi Province. In that year when the traffic was not developed, he always climbed four or five hills on foot in order to go to school, but even so, his results were still not ideal.
As the eldest son in the family, his parents have always placed high hopes on him. Under this double pressure, the childhood Bai Xiaobao began to rebel. It didn’t take long for him to skip school and read extracurricular books. At that time, every time there was a parent meeting, his mother Always wipe his butt.
But for some reason, he always couldn't learn it. In his words, as soon as he opened the book, he would fall asleep. That year, Bai Xiaobao was seven years old. He became stunned like a demon and became obsessed with Kung Fu. As long as the theme song of the Shaolin Temple movie is played on TV, he will follow Jet Li’s beat and punch and kick. At that time, Bai Xiaobao had only one dream, which was to grow up and go to Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts and practice it as a gold bell cover Iron cloth shirts, walking the rivers and lakes chicly.
So not long after, his parents found him a local martial arts instructor, and taught him how to fight day and night. I have to say that Bai Xiaobao was born a good seedling. Only two years later, he was born with a steel bar iron. bone.
But as the saying goes, strength caused trouble, and I fell in love with martial arts, and this study was completely abandoned. Because of poor grades that year, Bai Xiaobao began to talk with some local gangsters in the society as brothers and brothers. For this reason, his parents No less anxious to get angry, but because I’m in a rebellious period,Coupled with his youthful age, Bai Xiaobao is still doing his own way. Today’s fights and tomorrow’s fights will end every day. Even his younger brother Bai Xiaowei was led astray. At that time, relying on his brother’s wings, Bai Xiaowei always behaved. Finally, in a certain dispute, because of a mishandling, it caused a catastrophe and cut the opponent. For this reason, the plaintiff was outraged and resorted to the law. After the result of the trial, the younger brother entered the juvenile prison, and the parents Because of this, I didn't care about the business and caused huge losses.
Bai Xiaobao at this time can be said to have regretted his intestines. A family that was originally good, was destroyed by himself and shattered. Looking at the mother who washes his face with tears every day, the father who sighs and sighs, this naive child seems to be overnight. When he grew up, he was determined to change his past, re-behave, and become the pillar of the family. For this reason, he abandoned his erosive life, put on a thick body armor, and became a small armed force. Escort.
But obviously this meager salary cannot make up for the guilt he owed to his parents, so when he was 19 years old, this slightly immature teenager boarded the train to Beijing. He believed that in the capital, he could find A satisfactory job, but what is desperate is that because of no academic qualifications and unfamiliarity with the place of life, Bai Xiaobao has just arrived here and became a veritable Peking Drifter. He has neither a stable residence nor a practical job. During that time, he could only curl up in the rental house, hungry and full. Whenever his parents called, he thought of his delayed brother, and wanted to give himself a punch.
But destiny did not abandon him. At noon that day, when Bai Xiaobao was passing by the cross street, a recruitment notice on the telephone pole caught his attention. He was looking for Iraqi security personnel with an annual salary of one million US dollars. The string of zeros, a crazy idea, popped out of Bai Xiaobao's mind, it's better to be a mercenary.
Obviously, for the current Bai Xiaobao, this is undoubtedly the best choice. One can repay his parents, and second, he can also show his fist. Just do it, and that night he dialed the contact number on the recruitment form.
"Just think about it, Iraq is not China, and there is a danger of death at any time." Looking at the recruiter opposite, Bai Xiaobao nodded vigorously. On that day, he delivered a reimbursement form worth four million. When he reached his hands, he suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.Looking at the tall buildings in the distance, his father and mother appeared in his mind.
"Is what you said is true? If I die, the pension will be given to my family", "Of course, we are professional."
Finally, with solid basic skills and courage not afraid of sacrifice, Bai Xiaobao After passing the rigorous training of mercenaries, three months later, amidst the roar of engines, he and 12 Chinese boys embarked on a journey to Iraq.
That afternoon, when Bai Xiaobao and his party were in the ruined city center of Iraq, looking at the strange buildings on both sides, the big boy suddenly had the urge to cry. It stands to reason that at this flowery age, he should have been Staying with his parents to enjoy life, but at this time he is in a dangerous situation, racing against death at any time. But obviously, reality is always more cruel than imagined, and Bai Xiaobao is not given room for regret at all.
Under the leadership of the Iraqi respondent, the group of them got on the Hummer and drove towards the suburbs. As the car passed through a vast no-man’s land, a sudden rain of bullets broke the surrounding tranquility. This has been since Bai Xiaobao’s life. The first time I saw a real gun battle scene, the cold bullets passed through the window, scared everyone into a cold sweat, their hearts almost jumped out of their throats, but soon Bai Xiaobao recovered his calm, this is his. Work is also something he must face in the future, and he knows that he has no retreat.
So in the next three months, he learned how to distinguish dangerous areas and how to escape from the rain of bullets. After his efforts, the local military contractor signed a new mercenary contract with him. So far, this young man The Chinese boy became a professional Iraqi mercenary. Not only did he have the qualifications to be equipped with guns, the money he received every month also tripled, and his annual salary reached several million US dollars. You must know that this is an astronomical figure that ordinary people can't save for a lifetime.
And for this money, Bai Xiaobao has to pin his head on the waistband. He goes out early and returns late every day, haunts various complicated areas. According to the contract, Bai Xiaobao’s main job is to take charge of some valuable personal belongings or characters. , Escorted to the designated location. During this period, due to the large number of local weapons and the proliferation of guns in Iraq, gun battles may break out at any time. Perhaps in the next second, the Humvee will be lifted into the sky by a bomb.
In his spare time, Bai Xiaobao will also take on some base patrol missions,To put it bluntly, it is to make money. In his opinion, he cannot be filial to his parents, so he can simply make more money and honor his parents far away.
But what people did not expect was that it was precisely this job that almost killed the child. When Bai Xiaobao was on duty that day, suddenly a group of gunmen broke in. They couldn't help but pulled the trigger and said It was too late and then, in order to protect the safety of the base, Bai Xiaobao rushed out at that time, but during the exchange of fire, a bullet accurately hit a comrade behind him.
That night, looking at the messy buildings around, Bai Xiaobao was crying without tears. He hugged his bleeding partner and fell into great fear. After this incident, the big boy bought a cemetery for his comrades with a lot of money. .
Obviously, the environment in Iraq still exceeded Bai Xiaobao’s expectations. In the following months, there were more gun battles, and his comrades fell one by one, looking at those familiar and unfamiliar faces. Bai Xiaobao once again remembered his parents in the distance. He knew that he was the pillar of the family and he would never fall down.
So he is like a Populus euphratica, firmly rooted in the desert. No matter how bad the surrounding environment is, he has to survive hard. In order to avoid the intense local sunshine in Iraq, Bai Xiaobao always goes from head to toe every time he goes to work. Wrap yourself tightly.
But even so, the bullet did not let him go. That afternoon, when the Chinese young man was squatting in the camp and smoking, he heard only a "bang", and a huge tearing sensation spread from his heart. He came over. Fortunately, the bullet did not penetrate the body armor, but even so, it still broke his three ribs. Afterwards, the doctor told him that the attack had caused huge damage to his heart, and it was likely to remain. Sequelae.
Facing the doctor’s diagnosis, Bai Xiaobao was a mixed bag for a while. Over the years, as a mercenary from China, he always tried every means to take care of his compatriots in China. He has long been counted for his compatriots. Fighting the villain, in his heart, he has only one plan, which is to stay until the end of the contract and bring back a lot of money to his parents so that they can enjoy their twilight years, but he is afraid that his parents will worry about him. Regarding the mercenary, In front of his parents, he never said a word, sometimes he couldn't keep it, he said that he was a bodyguard, eating well and dressed well, without any danger.But only he knows the hardship in this. Over the years, the comrades around him have left one by one. Seeing that the only compatriots who came back then were only one of them, and Bai Xiaobao's heart finally sprouted a retreat.
After the contract expired in 2015, he returned to his hometown and used the money he saved to buy a mansion for his parents. Looking at the enviable eyes of his neighbors, this young man is not too happy, as if all these years of hard work are worth everything. NS.
In 2017, in order to help more peers, Bai Xiaobao decided to return to his old business, using his contacts, and friends to establish the China-Thailand Business Association, which is an enterprise engaged in security services, under the leadership of Bai Xiaobao , And gained popularity in Southeast Asia within a few years.
Since having money, this young man has frequently appeared in public welfare activities. For him, wars have long been commonplace, so he understands better than anyone, the value of life, in his words, he did not understand when he was young The meaning of life is the persistence of his parents, which made him learn to be grateful. Now that he has the conditions, he must give back to the society.
In a variety show event, Bai Xiaobao not only recorded the show free of charge, but also faced the camera, telling his thrilling life in Iraq. Looking at this high-spirited and successful young man, who would have thought that many years ago, he Ever wandered the streets and provoked trouble? I have to sigh, as long as there are dreams, sparrows can fly to the sky!
