WZ523

The WZ 523 is a Chinese produced six wheeled Armored Personnel Carrier. It was unveiled at a military parade in Beijing in October 1984, gaining the US Army designation M1984, although it was destined for export and did not enter large scale service with the People's Liberation Army (PLA). An internal security vehicle based on the WZ 523, the ZFB 91, which has a turret armed with a 35 mm grenade launcher and a 7.62 mm machine gun replacing the roof mounted 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun of the WZ 523, is in service with PLA units in Hong Kong and Macau.

    I sat and stared at the sky.
    I knew I'd find myself there again.
    I wonder how else to cope with the air.
    The air that brings me this luck.
    I'm unlucky, that's just me
    Seems what used to be has changed.
    And I feel it coming again
    I feel it coming with the wind
    I feel it coming again
    I feel it breaking with the wind
    And I know, I won't feel it again if I just played along.
    "Stupid games are for stupid people" and they end just like a song.
    A song with no beginning, a song that has no meaning.
    Just like this one, just like this one...
