Before I was a soldier I knew some English, but I've never had a chance to study since. I don't sce my wife at all. There's no sense in a soldier being married."

Then some one would come out of a smail building with a thin ribbon the newly of tissue paper with drawn characters of the man's name on it. This was placed across the man's chest and his picture taken.

I didn't think Chinese soldiers went in for that kind of sentiment.

Those about to be married can spend the whole of Sunday use- fully tearing up and burning old photographs, letters, garters, and other incriminating evidence. Unmarried people will derive greater pleasure from going for long, long hikes.
