Recently, a self-published video shows a dozen veterans of the Sino-Vietnam War in Pingjiang County, Hunan Province, wearing military uniforms and medals in the downtown area, openly asking for money because they have difficulty making ends meet. The move highlights the Chinese Communist Party’s use and abandonment of soldiers and the demolition of bridges.
According to a video posted by netizens, a dozen veterans who served from 1979-1989 and participated in the Sino-Vietnam War were dressed in military uniforms, several with medals on their chests, and pulled up multiple banners, lined up with stony expressions. When someone donated money to them, they saluted neatly to show their appreciation. The netizen also published his own testimonial: “Being regarded as a ball kicking around, the desperate veterans decided to beg for food in the downtown area to give a long face to the big power and teach the little pinky a lesson.”
According to Apollo.com reporter Li Chenyu’s investigation, in recent years, Da Ji Yuan has reported many times that there have been many cases of veterans in Hunan Province being suppressed for making group petitions due to their dissatisfaction with the issue of discharge treatment formulated by the Chinese Communist Party.
Apollo.com commentator Lin Feng suggests: I believe this is not a problem in Hunan alone, it is a China-wide issue of veterans’ treatment. The Chinese Communist Party’s intention to discard military personnel after use and to tear down bridges is very obvious. When the so-called “most lovely people” have become the target of “maintaining stability”; when the former tool of the CCP for maintaining stability has also become a social instability factor, can we ask those who are maintaining stability for the CCP now to think about their own future as well?
