中印战争老兵被困印度50年 盼望回家(组图)

　　【观察者网 综合】据英国广播公司（BBC）1月31日报道，1963年，中印战争爆发几星期之后，一名叫王琦（音）中国军队勘测员进入印度后被俘虏。自那以后，王琦一直不能离开印度，他渴望和中国的家人团聚。BBC印地语记者Vineet Khare 遇到了他。

　　以下为BBC报道：

　　Tirodi村距离位于印度中部城市那格浦尔Nagpur最近的机场约有5小时的车程。

　　我来这里和王琦会面，他是一名中国勘测员，1963年进入印度，但是还没有回过中国。50多年来，他一直渴望回家和亲人团聚。

　　王琦已经80多岁了，头发灰白，身穿一件保暖背心，见面时他拥抱了我。我们将试着和他3000公里之外的家人进行视频通话。

王琦和母亲遗照合影

　　我们一起去政府办公室，这是附近几公里内唯一有互联网的地方。

　　他满怀期待地注视着我拨号，当他82岁的的哥哥王志远（音）的头像出现在屏幕上时，他的眼睛亮了。王志远此时在陕西省咸阳市的家中，坐在沙发上和弟弟通话。

　　这是两兄弟50多年后再次看到对方。这通电话打了17分钟。

王琦和哥哥视频通话

　　王琦（观察者网注：印度名Raj Bahadur）的话带着强烈的印度口音，他对我说，“我认不出哥哥了，他看起来很老了。他说他活着就为了我。”他三个印度出生的孩子在旁边一起安慰他。

　　王琦的故事漫长而感伤。

　　他出生于陕西的一个农民家庭，有四个兄弟和两个姐妹。他当时学习测量，并在1960年加入了中国人民解放军。

　　王琦说，他的任务主要是为中国陆军修筑道路。1963年1月，他因为“错误地偏离”进入印度领土而被抓。

　　他说，“我走出营地闲逛，但后来迷路了。我累了，饿了。我看到一辆红十字车，向他们请求帮助。他们把我交给印度军队。”

　　印度官员称，王琦“侵入印度”，并向当局提供了关于他去向的“假背景和资料”。

　　接下来的七年里，他是在不同的监狱里度过的。 1969年，一个法院下令将他释放。

　　警察将他带去了中央邦Madhya Pradesh的一个名叫Tirodi的遥远村庄。从那以后，他就没有被允许离开印度。

　　目前尚不清楚王琦是否是战俘。但他一直拒绝接受印度的官方文件或者公民身份，同样的，印度官方也不允许他回中国。他的家人说，王琦需要一份文件才能离开印度。

　　当地的高级官员Bharat Yadav 认为，王琦的情况有“缺陷”并“缺乏兴趣”。

　　他说，“我们没有怀疑他的行为，如果他想回去，我们会尽力帮他。”

　　中国大使馆的一名官员，2013年帮助王琦获得护照，承认他知道这件事。但给印度联邦内政部的去信仍在等待回复。

　　对于王琦而言，这是一个漫长而又激动人心的等待。

　　无论是语言、食物或是完全不同的社会，王琦都必须一步一步地去适应。

　　王琦说，“我开始是在面粉厂工作。晚上因为思念家人而痛哭，我想妈妈。”

　　“我反问我自己陷进什么东西里去了。”

　　1975年，王琦在“朋友的压力之下”，和一个名叫Sushila的当地女子结婚。

　　Sushila笑着说，“我因父母把我嫁给一个外国人而生气。我很难理解他的语言，我忍受了几个月，然后慢慢习惯了。”

　　王琦曾想做生意，但是没有合法的印度公民身份，这意味着当地的警察会上门找麻烦。

　　BB Singh是王琦多年的邻居，他说，“我记得王先生因为没有贿赂警察而被他们殴打。他是一个诚实的人。”

　　Jayanti Lal Waghela是王琦以前的邻居，他说，“王先生总是谈论他在中国的家。他的家人生活在极度贫困之中。”

　　王琦曾给家里写信，但是直到1980年代才收到第一封回信。他和亲人交换了家庭照片。

王琦兄弟姐妹的合照

　　他在2002年和母亲通电话，这是四十多年来第一次和母亲说话。

　　“她说他想看看我，因为感到来日无多了。我说我想回来，我给每一个能给我提供离境文书的人写信，但是事情没有变化。”

　　王琦的母亲2006年过世了。

　　2009年，王琦的侄子以游客的身份来到印度，见到了他。正是王琦的侄子帮助他得到了办理护照必须的文件。

　　现在仍不清楚王琦是否能去中国。如果王琦回中国，他还能回印度吗？

　　“我的家在这。我去哪里呢？”王琦一边说，一边逗他的孙女。

　　但是Sunshila有点担心，她说，“我希望他回来。”
