书籍简介

我不再是张德伦了 我是58909。

我们是中国劳工军团，共有十四万人。 在初次世界大战的那几年，向东航行的年轻人注定要在法国的战壕后面辛苦劳作。 我们中有太多人再也见不到家了。

张安妮的父亲失踪了，他的85岁生日盛宴即将冷清。

骄傲、绝望还是希望？ 恐怖之中毫无意义。 不知怎的，我活了下来，并在玛格丽特的帮助下在这片异国他乡扎根。

从来没有人分担负担，母亲去世后的这些年里，只有少数人记得痛苦的过去。

战场上早已布满了矢车菊。 我的战友们像墓碑一样盯着我。 我照顾它们，以免它们沦为当地人无法理解的被遗忘的语言字符。

没有人告诉安妮他们的故事，她也没有时间听。

当我走了，谁来为我们说话？

I'm no longer Zhang Delun. I am 58909.

We were the Chinese Labour Corps, all 140,000 of us. Sailing eastwards in the final years of the Great War, youth bound to toil behind the trenches of France. Too many of us will never see home again.

Anne Zhang's father is missing, the feast for his 85th birthday is going cold.

Pride, desperation or hope? Meaningless amid the horror. Somehow I survived, and with Marguerite's help found roots in this foreign land.

Never one to share a burden, the years since mother's passing have only claimed the few who remember a painful past.

The battlefields have long since scabbed over with cornflowers. My comrades stare back at me as gravestones. I tend to them, lest they be reduced to forgotten characters of a language that no local understands.

No one told Anne of their stories, nor does she have time to listen.

When I'm gone, who will speak for us?
