Ayi in the play is Major Battalion Commander Lin Yi.

After the regiment leader Long Wenwen committed suicide, he asked Tang Ji for help and transferred Master Yu. From the deputy commander of a cannon fodder regiment, he was upgraded to a regimental commander with well-equipped equipment and sufficient personnel. Ayi's biggest dream is to become a person like Long Wenwen. Ayi learned from Long Wenwen how to fight. He made his regiment look impressive and its combat effectiveness was considerable.

Since following the regiment leader Long Wenwen, Ayi has learned a lot of practical experience, especially after two brutal Nantianmen experiences. Ayi has got rid of the childishness of a student soldier and has grown up rapidly. Influenced by the experience of almost starving to death at Nantianmen, Ayi always likes to hoard a lot of supplies during wars, and can hold on in the bunker for a month or two.

Finally Ayi and Meng Fanglia met on the battlefield. Ayi's regiment was besieged for a day and a night, but they still resisted desperately. In the end, Meng Fanglia persuaded Ayi to surrender, and Ayi asked his men to surrender. After surrendering in an honorable and orderly manner, he committed suicide by drinking a bomb while listening to his favorite song "Wild Flowers and Grasses Come in Spring".

The reason why Ayi chose to surrender was to choose the realistic escape route for his subordinates, and suicide was to choose the escape route for himself. As he said in the play: "I can bow to reality." , but I will not give up my ideal! If my ideal is destined to be impossible to realize, I would rather die!"

Character introduction:

Chief Ayi is an alternative among the cannon fodder. He was in the shelter, but he was different from the other wounded soldiers who were slovenly and dirty. He was neatly dressed and energetic. He was a different sight among the cannon fodder.

He has the highest rank among the cannon fodder, and is also the only one in the cannon fodder regiment who has not fought before being reorganized. He wanted to unite everyone, but his ability was really limited, so everyone called him "Sir Ayi", but no one cared about the majesty of this commander.

Extended information:

Ayi is the only neatly dressed person in the shelter. In order to encourage everyone's determination to go to the battlefield, he sold the watch his father gave him and made a meal of stewed vermicelli with cabbage and pork, which established a lifelong friendship between the brothers in life and death. He is so cute when he shakes his head and strokes his hair proudly and proudly holds up the pork. Ayi tells us with facts that if there is a dream, there will be a miracle.

After the death of the regiment leader, Meng Fanlian lost his ideals in the battle, so he was easily captured and surrendered. As for Ah Yi, even if he no longer has ideals, he still has principles, so he persists. After meeting Meng Fan, Ayi found an excuse to give up his principles, surrendered and committed suicide.
