While the soldier cries as said above, another soldier jumps forward.
“Hey, I got your sorrow. Your sorrow and mine are both about wives. But put your sorrow aside and listen to mine. 3 00:00:14,005 --> 00:00:21,531 My grief is not specified in a Confucius book. Nor is my special sorrow felt by people.” 4 00:00:21,561 --> 00:00:37,705 “Your grief must be special. Tell us about it.”
“Hey soldiers. Listen to my sad story. Thanks to my parents, I got married at seventeen and lost my wife at twenty five.
I managed to propose to a girl at thirty five, sending a letter to her house. She responded with the wedding date. Many things were prepared.
I got on a sick horse with no hair. The saddle was moth-eaten. Mr. Bak was double hare-lip.
Mr. Gong was a hunchback. They escorted me.
Mr. Jeong carried a present box. A one-eyed servant was from a good family.
A lame man, a clever man, my uncle, and a cow with a black saddle came to the wedding hall.
I went proudly to my bride’s house, wearing a hat, a belt, and silk clothes for the wedding.
She and I bowed to each other and drank in the wedding hall. After I entered her room and had a snack, the sun set in the west.
I helped myself to a great dinner. I smoked quickly and sat quietly.
어따, 우리집 마누라가 들오는데, 옆눈지어 살펴보니 명조가 둥둥 뜨고 영풍이 깃들었다.
My bride entered the room. I took a side glance at her. Her face was bright and brilliant.I took a look at her entire costume. She wore a gorgeous wedding hat and ceremonial attire.
Her brothers’ wives escorted her on the left and right and pushed her to me. ’let’s go quickly.’ They got into the room.
They placed her behind a folding screen and left quietly. The bride sat there alone. I pondered for a moment.
An old saying holds that if you touch your bride’s hands at the wedding night, she will be fated to be a widow.
I approached her from behind her slowly for fear of scaring her and hugged her softly around her waist. I took off her wedding hat and attire and hung them on the folding screen.
I took off my clothes too, hugged her with my arms, and tried to have an affectionate talk.
All of sudden,
the shout ’the people of Wei(魏) Country! Let’s go to war in the Chibi(赤壁) River! Come out!’
shook mountains and rivers.
A soldier standing there ran at me.
He put a military uniform and a fur hat on me
pushed my back and waist, and grabbed my neck, as we came out.
My wife must have fallen in love with me at the first night. She ran to me and grabbed my hands.
‘Honey, I can’t believe this. What will become of me?’ I shook her hands off and came here.
When can I go back home, hold my lovely wife’s hands, and talk with her as much as I can? Alas. Woe is me.”
Several soldiers jump in. “After listening to your sorrow, I can tell that you are a lustful man. After all, you miss not your parents but your wife.”
He stares at him as he gets out of the tent. “Are you the sons of pure fathers and faithful mothers?”
Another soldier comes forward. He is small and has a long sharp beard. His nose looks like a tomb. He carries a small commanding sword and shouts in a loud voice as he comes out.
If you cry, you are brats.
There is a saying that a patriot cannot take care of his family.
How can you miss your wives and children? All of you, forget about your homes.
We became soldiers and were taken to this battleground. Wouldn’t it be a disgrace to go back home without a meritorious deed?
It is my long time wish to go back home after cutting off the heads of the generals of Wu(吳) Country and Han(漢) Country with one move of my long sword.
Parents, brothers, sisters, wife, children, and relatives will welcome us. ‘I am happy. I am pleased to see my husband coming back alive from a distant battlefield.’
Wouldn’t it be great to welcome each other? Soldiers, don’t weep. Don’t sob, soldiers.”
Several soldiers respond, “You are a maverick and a loyal subject alone. If you act like that, we will call you Xiang Yu(項羽).”
Another soldier comes forward. “We are on a battlefield. Listen to my war song.”He sings a war song.
“In the Banquan(阪泉) War, Xuan Yuan ***(軒轅氏) who invented the spear and the shield fought against Yan Di(炎帝). In the Zhuolu(琢鹿) War, Chi ***(蚩尤) who could create fog was captured alive.
After the Zhou(周) Dynasty became weak, there were a lot of wars amongst ancient countries during the Chunqiu(春秋) era. After powerful and wealthy Qin *** Huang(秦始皇) became old, six countries fought each other in the Shandong(山東) area.
Many generals fought fiercely in the war between Chu(楚) Country and Han(漢) Country for eight years.
Liu ***’s(劉邦) parents and wife were taken as hostages in a war during which a northwest wind blew hard in favor of Liu ***(劉邦).
Liu ***(劉邦) waged war wisely and obtained ancient China.
Seventy feudal lords were confused in Xiang Yu’s(項羽) war.
When will China be unified? Wei(魏), Han(漢), and Wu(吳) Countries are fighting each other.
Some are in danger in the Chibi (赤壁) War where a southwest wind blows.
I wish to accomplish a feat and go back home.” “Hey, stop the war song. I feel suffocated.”
