我记忆中的海地维和往事

Peacekeeping Memories from Haiti

前几天,整理电脑里的照片,不经意间点进一个很久没打开过的文件夹,一张我头戴蓝盔、一身特警防暴服、手持95单兵自动武器的照片呈现在电脑屏幕上,瞬间把我拉回到久远之前的维和记忆中。那还是2004年10月17日,我作为中国首批赴海地维和警察防暴队的一员,和125名战友一起,从首都机场乘专机出发,开赴那个位于拉丁美洲加勒比海的陌生岛国。那一年,我24岁。

A couple days ago when I was organizing photos on my computer,I happened to access a folder that I hadn’t opened for quite some time.A picture popped up on the screen.It was me wearing a riot suit and a blue helmet with a Type-95 Automatic R ifle in my hands.I couldn’t help recalling my memories o f serving in a peacekeeping m ission years ago.On O ctober 17,2004,125 co lleagu es and I departed from B eijin g Capital International Airport by charter flight.We were the first group o f Chinese riot police to be sent on a peacekeeping mission in Haiti,an island country in the Caribbean Sea in Latin America.I was 24 that year.
