Chapter 1506 (2/2)
He wanted to take out 21 guns by green day and let Dewey sing it.
For a punk band, ”21 guns” is indeed a rare deep song, no longer a single strong chord and all kinds of complaints about society, but a heartfelt appeal to stop the war.
Sentence lyrics Translated, it means:
”do you know why you fight?
When it's not worth your life,
does it take your breath away?
Do you feel like you're suffocating? ”
The following lyrics are translated as follows:
”is pain and glory equally important?
Are you looking for a place to hide?
Has anyone pierced your chest?
All you have left is the wreckage... ”
Green day's starting point is a comprehensive anti war, that is to say, one club denies all wars.
In other words, this practice is indeed a bit sloppy, because many wars are absolutely just wars, and such wars can never be denied.
It's like China, which fought against Japanese aggression in World War II; it's like the Soviet Union, which fought against the enemy with all its might in World War II; it's like Britain, which never surrendered, and the United States, which finally landed in Normandy; for these countries, the war itself can be denied, but the significance of their participation in the war can never be denied.
The reason why green day can write such a song is that, according to Li Mu, it may be related to the fact that Americans seldom fight just wars after World War II. After World War II, every war fought by the United States did not have enough legal support. Some of them even made it clear that it was aggression, especially Vietnam War. The American people felt that they had no light on their own faces. They reflected on the great harm the Vietnam War had brought to their country all day long.
In this social context, it is easy for the young generation of the United States to hold a comprehensive negative attitude towards all wars.
But this is obviously not in line with the values Li Mu wants to convey to the world in Flying Tigers.
Because both the Chinese people and the American Flying Tigers fought a war of absolute justice in World War II. For the just side, they deserve a thousand praises!
Therefore, Li Mu conceived in his mind that he must change the lyrics roughly.
Change to:
”you always know why you fight.
For the sake of the devastated motherland and the peace of the world.Even if it takes your breath,
you never regret it.
In your eyes, the motherland is more important than your own life.
when the war comes, you never want to find a place to hide,
you shed blood for this inch of land,
even if there is only debris left.
21 salutes,
give you the highest respect;
21 salutes,
you exchange your life for world peace!
21 salutes,
the world will never forget you.
21 salutes,
you will live forever in salutes... ”
