Just to prove it happened, I wrote a story about it.

Bullets that almost got me, circled in red. Most went over the wall.

And here's me when I was in the PLA (People's Liberation Army) – I shit you not! I won a marksmanship award during a training camp. Of course, it was only a training camp – I never joined full time. I was actually in the Chinese Marines, hence the blue camo. The Chinese let me in to do a story.

This was August 2000. I was a dark, handsome devil back then – not the green crustacean I am now

Just to dispel any rumours I'm actually Chinese

There ya go ya bastards – finally showing my face after 20-odd years!

We all have stories to tell, Ben. Some are good some are bad, but they're all stories that makes us what we are.

Yours is a hell of a story! You should own that shit right there and be proud you pulled through. I dunno. As I said, I've never been shot. But I look back fondly on all my lucky scrapes and am thankful I'm still here. That's just me, I guess.

You know I just figured something
Gunfires is two sylobols

The first I’m stuck with
But I can not say the second one

Take some fire out
Some power back

Chicks dig scars!

Yeah, China was a much more open and freindly place towards foreigners back then. Very different now under Xi.

I shot a 50 out of 50 with a regular issue open-sights SKS (7.62x39). I have to thank my Chinese spotter who got me on target. Some of those guys can really shoot.
