Thanks students
Thanks!You have been working very hard

If they can’t do it
We can do it by ourselves

suffering the bullets,suffering hunger and cold at the same time
No Chen Yi .You can’t go there
Zhou Wen,you came!
Why are you so late
I went my family's store to gather some.
So.Where should I put it?
Save it.They can’t get it anyway
Maybe the fire is too strong
They can’t transport these to the battlefield
That bad?
I heard they send all the soldiers to the front
Maybe
They don’t have any soldier to do this.
