Lisa Li: "This started from 19 years ago, when I was assigned to work in a church orphanage in Eastern European country S."

The government army is approaching the last and largest city where the anti-government army is, and the war is about to break out. In order to appease the residents in the city, both sides send a message that the war will not start, and even if it starts, it will end soon.

A policeman named Li Du tortured a man named Wang Sheng into the orphanage. Li Du asked to stay in the orphanage for a few days. He cut off contact with his group. What he arrested was a vicious criminal.

, he needs backup to escort him back to Newtown. The U.S. Consulate and other institutions were closed a few months ago, and he now does not even have basic external communication tools.

After Sister Li Lisa agreed, the two stayed in the orphanage temporarily. Li Du told Li Lisa that the war was about to begin, and asked Li Lisa to contact the church and transfer all the orphans outside the city. While Li Lisa was trying to find a way to contact the church, she asked local employees to buy and

Stock up on food.

At that time, most people believed that there would be no war, and even if there was a war, it would end soon.

On the second day after Li Du moved in, the government troops began to besiege the city, and there were scattered exchanges of fire with the anti-government troops in the suburbs. In the afternoon of that day, a car accident occurred near the orphanage. Li Du hugged Yuan Wang back from the scene of the car accident.

At the beginning of the war, everyone was optimistic, but gradually, police were no longer seen on the streets. Electricity, water, and gas were all stopped, and the entire city entered a primitive society. This also started a four-year siege.

.

At the beginning of the war, residents hoarded some food and clean water. Especially in winter, supplies were extremely scarce. No electricity, no water, no fuel, no goods, no sanitary supplies, no medical care. Gold, diamonds and banks

Cards are like waste. Some women are willing to let human fish meat last for hours just for a can.

Three months after the siege of the city, people began to starve to death, and gangs also appeared. What is even more terrifying are the snipers during the day. They surround the high mountains near the city, overlooking the city, and shoot all moving objects. During the day, people

I could only hide at home, but at night it was time for gangsters to appear.

I don't know who leaked the information that the orphanage had stocked up a large number of canned goods, and the orphanage became the target of gangs. Some of the people who invaded the orphanage were just scavengers, some were thieves driven by hunger, and some were dangerous deserters.

At first, Li Du arrested people and drove them away. Later, the gangsters had more plans, a larger scale, and stronger determination.

In this case, Li Du released Wang Sheng.

In the next month, Li Du and Wang Sheng committed murder almost every day, and Li Du once had an emotional breakdown. The gang seemed to know that the orphanage had strong hands, and for the next month, no one invaded the orphanage again.

But the attack still came. Five men from the other side armed with long and short guns attacked the orphanage. Although they were finally defeated, Li Sheng was hit by several bullets and continued the operation and medicine. Without Li Sheng, Li Du would not be able to defend the orphanage.

The next day, Li Du handed over the gun seized last night to Yuan Wang and three children who could handle the gun. At night, Li Du became a gangster. He sneaked into a house and used the children to force the doctor to go to the orphanage to give Li Du a gun.

Sheng underwent surgery. On his way back to the orphanage, a child watching at the orphanage discharged his gun and killed another child.

The operation was successful, but medicines were needed. Medicines became the most expensive luxury goods at this time. Looking around, facing the orphanage that was about to become food for others, Li Du refused Li Lisa's request and insisted on selecting children to keep vigil with guns.

Li Du brought the canned goods and found someone to trade at night in exchange for medicines.

This night, Yuan Wang showed his bravery. He forced back three gangsters by himself.

Li Du thought this was not a long-term solution and began to recruit people openly. A deserter and a thief joined the orphanage a few days later. Many people came after hearing the news, including elderly people and children sent by cruel parents. In view of this

The food inventory was relatively rich, so Li Lisa persuaded Li Du to keep everyone as much as possible.

From that day on, there was no one idle in the orphanage. Winter was about to come, and clean water and sufficient fuel were the resources to ensure the survival of the orphanage. The first winter was passed peacefully, and Wang Sheng also recovered.

But no one knew that the war would last so long. The US military would conduct an airdrop every ten days, and these airdrops became the only hope for the residents. However, most of the supplies fell into the hands of the anti-government forces. Anyone who took the airdropped supplies privately might be arrested.

Arrests and executions.

Black traders appear in the city. They transport food, alcohol, cigarettes, medicine, etc. into the city through special channels, and exchange them for gems, U.S. dollars, gold, etc. in the city. Although the price is extremely high, it can be regarded as the only material for the residents in the city.

source.

After the beginning of spring, the orphanage began to plant vegetables. The more than 20 young members of the orphanage were very sensible and did what they could.

Everything seems to be getting better, but the endless siege has exhausted people's resources and patience. In the third year, not only are there no longer luxuries such as cigarettes and coffee, but even food has become a luxury.

Adults eat one meal of pumpkin soup and some canned food every day, and children eat one serving of food every two days.

Even so, water has become a big problem due to lack of rain. Many people in the orphanage suffered from diarrhea due to drinking unclean water. Without medicine, these people were quickly buried in the backyard of the orphanage.

In a sense, downsizing is not a bad thing for Li Du.

At night, one of Li Du and Wang Sheng would always go out to look for food and useful things. Under the pressure of survival, Li Du degenerated into a gangster with no bottom line. Theft, assault, robbery, and murder were all for the sake of survival.

Resources, every time he brings them back, everyone is happy. But the number of times he returns empty-handed increases.

Not only that, the invasion of the orphanage never stopped. Yuan Wang, who was physically strong and capable of learning, became the main force keeping vigil at the orphanage for the next two years.

Lisa Li: "At first, he called people and shouted to scare away the intruders. Later, he began to crouch and kill people, killing people without saying a word. He often squatted in the southeast corner, where there was a low wall that was not covered by the barbed wire.

When the invaders jumped into the low wall, he stabbed them. I asked him why there was a gap? He said that the invaders themselves are resources. The more invaders there are, the richer our resources will be."

Lisa Li: "In the end, killing became as normal to him as eating. I forced him to attend studies during the day, learning mathematics and music from the residents. But it was too late, and his thoughts were deeply ingrained: killing is survival...

…The most difficult thing was the last winter.”

During the nearly four-year siege of the city, many people died before the dawn. That winter was particularly cold. The gangs were no longer men. Women and even children also became gangsters. The orphanage that could feed more than ten people became a gang.

Focusing on the target, many people believe that the orphanage is stocked with a large amount of food, water, and fuel.

There were a lot of guns, but the bullets had been exhausted. Wang Sheng and Li Du went to the suburbs, and the two of them teamed up to bloodbath a military outpost. As for whether it was a political or anti-government outpost, no one cared. They brought back

A large amount of supplies. But this did not put the orphanage out of danger. Instead, it turned the orphanage into a battlefield.

Li Lisa: "There were originally twenty-nine orphans in the orphanage, and only seven of them survived, including Yuan Wang. After the war, I contacted my mentor, Sister Melissa, who ordered the Crusaders to escort the seven children to

Newtown, and registered their identities.”

Li Lisa did not tell a story or detail. She described what happened that year as plainly as possible. It can be seen that she was full of guilt for failing to protect those children. Almost all the children who died were accompanied by Li Lisa in their final stages.

The person Li Lisa feels most sorry for is Yuan Wang. She has always paid close attention to Yuan Wang's growth. Fortunately, Yuan Wang is full of positive attitude and full of hope for the future. Li Lisa is quite satisfied with his growth situation.

What Sister Lisa said is true, it happened in a modern siege: the Siege of Sarajevo.

Lisa Li said: "Yuan Wang is a very sensible and good boy. He is kind to people every day. He is willing to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. He has helped me share a lot of work. The temporary residents like him very much, and they are all rushing to teach him something.

He learns quickly, which gives them a sense of accomplishment. But I don’t find Yuan Wang has any hobbies.”

Li Lisa: "He doesn't like to play. He doesn't like piano lessons, but he will go to them. He doesn't like the violin, but he is willing to play. He doesn't like to drink pumpkin soup, and he doesn't like to kill people... He has a favorite

My good friend is a blind girl. She is very talkative and wants to talk almost when she is awake. She likes to hold Yuan Wang's hand and sit aside to chat because she knows Yuan Wang will not reject her. "

"Where's the little girl?"

Li Lisa: "She passed away in the third year. Lack of food led to malnutrition and then illness. We only had basic antibiotic pills and lacked symptomatic drugs. We didn't even know what illness she had. I remember that before she died, she still held her hand.
