As a newcomer, the first year is the most difficult. Many young people aged 17 or 18 have never left their parents, let alone celebrating the New Year outside. Everyone sitting and watching the Spring Festival Gala wants to get up earlier and the night to end earlier. The New Year is always associated with tears. Not only newcomers, veterans also feel homesick and homesick.

One New Year’s Eve, when everyone was sitting and really thinking about using chopsticks, a soldier who had served here for five years and was considered a veteran suddenly started howling with such sadness and grievance. , that kind of endless homesickness, seems like the water of the Yangtze River, rushing endlessly. On New Year's Eve, we don't see the kind of majestic and brave soldiers here, but they look a bit like kindergarten children who shed tears when they don't see their parents. Moreover, when one person wipes his tears, the ocean will soon fill up, making everyone feel homesick and homesick. At that time, I was already the company instructor. On such an occasion and in such a situation, all I could do was act like a mother at home, coaxing these steely-looking soldiers. Only this time, no matter what, I couldn't make everyone quiet down. I stirred up the soreness in my heart and endured the pain in my heart. I walked over and patted everyone on the shoulder without saying a word. Despite the steely will, what I see here is deep tenderness. It was during this year that I told everyone about my New Year complex, and how I had not been home to celebrate the New Year for fifteen years.

On my third year here, the company arranged for me to go home to celebrate the New Year. I never went back to the village where I was born and raised to celebrate the New Year. It’s been fifteen years since then. In fact, there is a formal system for soldiers and cadres to go home to visit relatives. Except for military defense needs, soldiers and cadres will be arranged to go home in turn to reunite with their families. Sometimes, there are many people who are eligible to go home to visit relatives, and they need to be arranged in batches throughout the year. In batches, that is, waiting. When the troops have missions, it is difficult to say that they are going home to celebrate the New Year. It is also normal to go home to visit relatives. This is normal. thing.
