On January 9, 1990, a grand ceremony was held at zero kilometers from the Tongdeng Highway from China Friendship Pass to Vietnam. The prisoners of war in the Chinese and Vietnamese armies slowly walked towards the opposite side, and there were several media standing next to them, recording this historical moment.
However, it is confusing that Vietnamese prisoners of war , which came out of China, are all huge in size and reluctant to leave, and have no joy to go home. However, the Chinese soldiers who returned from Vietnam have pale faces and are so sad.

Among them, the famous Chinese officer is Wang Bin. As an adult male, has only 37 kilograms of weight . He was covered in scars, and with the help of his comrades in his arms, he staggered onto the military vehicle .
Why is China and Vietnam so different from prisoners of war? What kind of bullying did Wang Bin suffer in Vietnam? What experiences did you have after returning to China? Why did he receive special condolences from Chen Geng's son?

geographically, Vietnam is China's southern neighbor. However, it is worth mentioning that it was once a vassal state of our country during the Qin Shihuang period. Later, it was independent of during the Southern Han period. After the failure of its successive recovery, my country gradually recognized Vietnam's status as an independent vassal state.
However, while our country entered the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society in the modern history period, Vietnam also faced the tragic fate of being ruled by the colonial state.

lips and teeth are cold. Therefore, in the leadership of the war of liberation, helped each other resist the invasion of foreign enemies. In this process, his Vietnamese leader also wrote Chairman Mao’s guiding ideology into the Vietnam Party Constitution.
It is precisely because of this special combat friendship that the two countries have formed a deep friendship like a life-and-death friendship. Especially in the war between Vietnam and France, China sent troops to support for three years without any return, and its total donation of materials exceeded US$20 billion.

You should know that the new China was just established at that time, with weak national strength and a sluggish economy, but it still fully supports Vietnam's War of Independence, which shows our sincerity for a friendly country.
However, such friendship cannot withstand the scrutiny of interests...
In the 1950s and 1960s, The Soviet Union proposed the requirement to establish the so-called " long-wave radio station " and " joint fleet " in our country . On the surface, it is a "win-win" approach, but in fact it is another act of depriving the right to territorial integrity.
Chairman Mao
Chairman Mao knew that China has suffered from years of oppression, and the hard-won freedom is particularly precious. Therefore, he immediately rejected the Soviet Union's "rude" demand with a very firm attitude.
Since then, cracks have occurred between Sino-Soviet relations, and the conflict on Zhenbao Island in 1969 has led to a complete deterioration of relations between the two countries. As a country that learns from China and the Soviet Union, Vietnam has to face the choice of "taking the team".
However, it was unexpected that the Soviet Union continued to impose various benefits to Vietnam, including its ambition to support Vietnam to achieve landlord hegemony. Vietnam was led by the nose, and completely forgot about China's kindness to help in times of crisis.

In 1978, Vietnam and the Soviet Union signed a military alliance cooperation treaty. In the eyes of Vietnamese leaders, as long as they take action against China and gain support from the Soviet Union, they can establish local hegemony.
Therefore, Vietnam began a series of behaviors of "farmer and snake".

First, the Vietnamese government canceled the content of Chairman Mao’s guiding ideology in the Party Constitution, and then excluded and suppressed overseas Chinese, resulting in a large number of overseas Chinese being forced to return to the country. Especially after Vietnam was unified by the north and south, it called itself "the third military power in the world" , which was even more unscrupulous.
At the instigation of the Soviet Union, Vietnam sent armed forces to frequently harass our borders, injured people at the borders, knocked down the border mark, and even unscrupulously attacked our border guards, with very bad behavior.

At the beginning, my country maintained a rational attitude towards Vietnam's provocation, However, the other party repeatedly eroded my country's territory and even launched an attack on Cambodia . In order to eliminate threats around China and to help Cambodia get rid of the crisis of destroying the country, it was decided to launch a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam by .
In the early morning of February 17, 1979, with the Chinese soldiers preparing for the first level of combat today, one shell made a huge bombing sound. In just 28 days, northern Vietnam had basically fallen. Our army took advantage of the victory to pursue it, and won the victory in the self-defense counterattack.

However, after our army returned to the court, Vietnam did not stick to itself, and still tirelessly harassed our country's borders, occupied part of our highlands, and built military base , hoping to launch a long-term battle with our country.
Faced with Vietnam's unrepentant action, our army did not sit till death , but launched a ten-year round of battle stage.
At that time, our army decided to implement the "stay defense" combat plan in the areas of Laoshan and Zhejiang Yinshan . On the one hand, it is to resist the attack of the Vietnamese army, and on the other hand, it provides the army with opportunities to train troops.

The battle with the deepest impact and the longest combat time, and is the "Laoshan Recovery Battle" that started in April 1984. During this battle, China invested hundreds of thousands of troops, and a large number of heroic groups and individuals emerged, including Wang Bin.
In 1957, he was born in Zoucheng, Shandong Province. He has been thinking about defending his country since he was 19 years old. After he became an adult at the age of 19, he actively responded to the national call and became a glorious People's Liberation Army soldier.
At that time, Wang Bin was full of passion, and hoped to make achievements on the battlefield and sacrifice bloodshed for the country. However, he could not have imagined that this road was full of hardships and ups and downs.

self-defense counterattack against Vietnam began, the 1st Battalion of the 118th Regiment of the 40th Division of the 14th Army of Kunming Military Region where Wang Bin was located obeyed the order and quickly went to the front line to support it. At that time, he and his comrades performed very well, and were rated as "Hero Camp" , and he was also promoted to deputy instructor.
If Wang Bin can return to China smoothly, his future will be bright. However, in the battle of Laoshan's recovery, he encountered an accident.
At that time, because the Vietnamese army occupied the high ground, our army could only adopt a plan of advancement. The 1st Battalion where Wang Bin was located accepted the combat plan, was responsible for carrying out interspersed tasks behind enemy lines, and cooperated with the main force to launch an attack on Laoshan and the 662.6 highland.

At that time, Wang Bin was responsible for battlefield rescue and ammunition supply. However, it is even more difficult to complete the task successfully and return to the position.
Because after more than 40 years of training, the Vietnamese army has already possessed very excellent military qualities. In addition, many of them were trained by our army after resisting U.S. aggressing Korea and aiding Korea. They are very familiar with our army's tactics.
Therefore, before Wang Bin and others carried out their mission, the commander of the 14th Army temporarily changed the combat plan and asked them to change the original plan to intersperse the foot of the mountain to intersperse the hillside. They wanted to use the topographic characteristics of high mountains and dense forests to ensure the concealment of the operation.

However, the key to this set of "shocks win" was completely exposed to the actions of the Vietnamese army. They arranged heavy firepower ambush on all the routes that our army might intersperse.
According to the battle diary of the 1st Battalion, "No landmines were encountered in the interspersed route, but the entire army fell and injured 27 people and 1 person was sacrificed."
Even though there were still unknown difficulties ahead, they never gave up, especially Wang Bin, who said: "Protecting national peace is the mission of every soldier. Regardless of bloodshed and sacrifice, we must complete the task."

Quickly, on the way of march, our army was attacked by artillery fire from the Vietnamese army. Several soldiers fell one after another, including company commander Wang Shitian and instructor Gao Shaolin. They were seriously injured to varying degrees and had lost their command ability.
The burden of the entire army was on Wang Bin. He calmly, used the terrain to launch a counterattack, and then successfully escaped the dangerous area. However, due to the hasty retreat, As a result, the bodies of the martyrs who have already died were not brought back in time.

You should know that whether it is the resistance to U.S. aggression and aid Korea, or the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam , our army attaches great importance to the life safety of each soldier, and has ordered that once there is a sacrifice, try every means to allow the martyrs to return to their hometown.
Wang Bin joined the large army and immediately made a request: "I ask my superiors to allow me to return to my position and take my comrades home. "

He spoke sincerely, with tears in his eyes, obviously he made up his mind. Seeing this, the battalion commander ordered him to go with two other soldiers. However, no one expected that there would be no return.
When Wang Bin was still inserting deep, a small team of the Vietnamese army had been waiting for for a long time. They fired wildly, causing Wang Bin's two comrades to be shot and died, and his feet were also affected. Shooting, inability to move.

Watching the Yue army rushing forward, Wang Bin had already guessed the result of his capture. He raised his gun tremblingly and prepared to commit suicide, but was eventually hit by the Yue army in the head and fainted deeply. When
and others woke up again, Wang Bin saw that he was in prison, and the Vietnamese soldiers walking back and forth around him made him feel desperate and said to himself: "I would rather die than suffer humiliation. "
pic source network
The reason why Wang Bin had this idea was because the Vietnamese army's behavior towards prisoners of war was particularly bad. As early as the end of the counterattack against Vietnam, five batches of prisoners of war returned to our country. According to them, "The Vietnamese army did everything they could to get the information they needed. "
He did not want to suffer humiliation, nor did he want to betray the country. However, the suicides were discovered timely by the Vietnamese army, and then was directly escorted to the Vietnamese capital Hanoi , and received stricter supervision.

For the Vietnamese army, Wang Bin was the first PLA instructor prisoner of war they captured, so naturally he would not let it go easily, and even used to kill and other various cruel sentences. The punishment method forced him to explain useful clues.
Wang Bin's body was covered with bloodstains, , but he always remembered that as a Chinese soldier, he should be loyal to the party and the country's perseverance . He was steadfast and unyielding, and did not reveal any secrets of our country to the enemy.

However, under inhuman abuse and torture, Wang Bin's weight dropped sharply, his body was overwhelmed, and his mental problems also arise. He tried to escape, but every time he was discovered by the Vietnamese army, and then he was beaten and more strict
In the five-year imprisonment life, Wang Bin had the idea that life was worse than death. However, this dark day finally showed up with the efforts of our army.

990, as the relationship between China and Vietnam eased, the last batch of prisoners of war had reached an agreement to exchange. After Wang Bin learned the news, he was more worried than joy. completed the handover ceremony Later, five captured people, including Wang Bin, returned to the embrace of the motherland. As the most serious person, he was also rescued as soon as possible and was arranged to be hospitalized for treatment.

Looking at the familiar Dongfang Kong, Wang Bin had a rare sleep. vaguely, he heard someone gossiping, the general content was that Wang Bin had "turned into the enemy". The reason why such rumors spread in
is attributed to a letter he wrote in a Vietnam prison .In addition to a detailed account of his own battle and his capture, he also has a bit of the meaning of "persuading surrender".

However, this is Wang Bin's helpless move after suffering severe damage, without any words to betray the country. After our army's review, he did not have any "traitorous" behavior.
Although Wang Bin is innocent, still keeps talking. , and he gradually became afraid, worried that he would not be able to continue to contribute in the army, and even felt like he was giving up on himself.

However, the appearance of a person gave Wang Bin the hope of rebirth.
On that day, he was lying on the bed in the group hospital. He recalled his miserable experience in Vietnam and couldn't help but burst into tears. At this time, the group walked in and the person who was leading the person spoke enthusiastically: "Comrade Wang Bin, how is your health recovering? If you have any discomfort, you must report it in time."
Wang Bin
Wang Bin stared at the visitor in confusion, feeling an indescribable sense of familiarity. It was not until the person next to him spoke
introduction: "This is Chen Zhijian, the deputy commander of the 40th Division, and also the son of Marshal Chen Geng." He quickly got up, but was pressed by the other party.
Chen Zhijian
It turned out that Chen Zhijian was very worried when he heard that our army was detained in Vietnam returned to China, especially when he learned that Wang Bin's condition was serious, he rushed to the scene non-stop for concern. However, Wang Bin sighed heavily and expressed his concerns.
Chen Zhijian comforted her heart: " If you really rebel and surrender to the enemy, we will not come to express our condolences. If you believe in yourself, the words of outsiders will naturally be defeated without attacking."
Chen Zhijian
Looking at the concern of the military leaders, Wang Bin finally calmed down. Then good news came that he not only restored his party membership and military rank, but also was awarded the rank of captain for his brave performance in the battle.
In 1993, Wang Bin recovered and was discharged from the hospital, transferred to his hometown, , and with the help of the local government, he found a stable job and had no worries for the rest of his life.

although Wang Bin was unfortunately arrested, but with his tenacious courage, he waited for the opportunity to return to the motherland. And his loyalty also won the respect and honor he deserved.
Every Chinese citizen, in any case, should maintain absolute loyalty to the country . Any betrayal and other similar spy behavior will be punished according to law, and will be nailed to the pillar of shame and be scolded by the world.
