Inside the box was a set of folded military uniform, already retired from active service, with many brown stains as if remnants of blood that couldn't be washed away.
Besides the uniform, the box contained several meticulously polished medals, clearly showing the owner's cherished care.
On the back of each medal was a line of small text, respectively engraved with 'Chan Country Independence Liberation Medal', 'Siam Krimu Defense Line Battle Medal', 'Jawa Country Conquest Medal', 'First-class Warrior Medal', 'South Korea Operation Special Forces Medal', 'Squid Country Peace Medal'… Each medal seemed to narrate a past of iron and blood, stirring an inexplicable emotion.
Situang put on the uniform, adorned all the medals one by one, and stood before the portrait of the Supreme Leader, silently saluting with a crisp and efficient move, appearing nothing like a man in his twilight years.
