– If you don't get dressed at camp, you'll run for a nude appeal – your parent warns. It worked.
Baoli is simply a Chinese boy and his parents invented a summertime military camp for him. possibly he'll lose weight and follow instructions. More and more Chinese children spend their holidays in camps led by erstwhile soldiers. The eleven-year-old Ruirui went under Beijing from Sichuan Province.
– They will teach you to shoot here – says your mother, and your father adds that he has a fondness for armed forces. possibly your daughter can make fresh friends here. This is the first specified long separation with parents who can inactive attend the camp oath and go home. Children curse to fulfill their mission and execute their duties.
– This bed is badly made – the teacher curves. Must be smooth and smooth. Correction!
It's starting to... run now. 2 kilometers in 40-degree heat without rifles, but in uniform. It's going on due to the fact that most of them, like Baoli, are clearly overweight. It takes a while, but they end up in a distance. 1 of the boys falls and vomits.
– Clean it with your bare hands – the teacher orders.
– You're going to run all the way down here.
Then standing shooting. It's crucial not to point a weapon at your people, due to the fact that you can't swing a gun. They put plastic rifles on their arms and mimic arrows. After many days you can yet call your parents.
– I was punished for my rest. I was besides slow – Ruirui complains.
– You can come back, but then I'll send you to a real military camp – Mom answers. I don't think there's much to discuss. Baoli says he doesn't want to be a soldier anymore. But he'll take his uniform to school due to the fact that he looks better in it. Talks like that.
War game. Children divided into red and blue teams are to fight for a peculiar area. Now they've got rifles imitating shots. Baoli kills almost all his own, so the “killed” are complaining about him to the commandant. It's not good. I don't want to be a soldier! He does not yet know that he will have to, due to the fact that that is China's policy, which by 2049 intend to become the world's top military power.
– We don't want a war – the commander declares to the camera. We like peace.
But they don't want democracy either. End of camp. Ruirui is indifferent to this due to the fact that she hasn't made any friends. Baoli hasn't lost weight and inactive doesn't want to be a soldier, but his parents are arrogant of him. They'll send him here next year.
