a captain and a soldier

In ChunQiu era, there is a father and his son going for a war. The father is always a captain, while his son is still a soldier.

春秋战国时代，一位父亲和他的儿子出征打战。父亲已做了将军，儿子还只是马前卒。

He sat rooted in his seat, and the young people began to wonder about him, trying to imagine his life: perhaps he was a sea captain, a runaway from his wife, an old soldier going home.

他引起这班年轻人的猜想：也许他是个船长，也许是从家出走的，或者是一个归家的老兵。

他像生了根似地坐在座位上，几个年轻人开始诧异起来，试图想像出他的身世：他或许是位海船船长，或是一个抛下妻子离家出走的人，再不就是一个回家的老兵。
