The story of the people's liberation army on the island

Beijian Island, an island far from the mainland, covers an area of only 3.4 square kilometers, with no residents, no commercial electricity, no boats and no fresh water. A desert island with "more stones and less soil, the wind blows sand and stones, birds don't build nests and fishermen don't go to the island" was evaluated as a desert island without human living conditions by experts on-the-spot investigation. In the past 59 years, officers and men of the Haiphong Company of Beijian Island, a maritime defense regiment in the Guangzhou Military Region, have withstood loneliness, loneliness and tests. They pursue "taking root in the island, building the island, and dedicating the island" as a kind of value, temper it as a kind of quality, struggle hard in suffering, show their value in suffering, guard the island with loyalty, and cast the soul of the army with blood, and successfully complete various tasks entrusted by the party and the people.

In the hot summer, the reporter set foot on this isolated island. During a few days with the officers and men of the company, the reporter was deeply moved by the different life experiences of the island sentry. ...

This island lacks this and that, but it does not lack love. Although love is full of twists and turns, the final harvest is sweet and happy-

There is a lot of happiness on the island.

In August, 2006, Hui Yu, the wife of Huang Qiang, then the company commander, took a leave of absence and rushed to Zhuhai from her hometown to meet her husband on the island.

On the day of the trip, just in time for the strong wind, white waves rolled on the sea. Landing craft is like a small leaf, sometimes thrown to the top and sometimes washed to the bottom. After more than four hours of hard sailing, the ship finally reached the sea only 20 meters away from Beijian Island Wharf. However, the wind and waves were too strong, and the ship was swaying back and forth near the dock, but it could not reach the shore, so it had no choice but to return.

Looking at the vague figures of the husband and the waiting soldiers not far from the shore, Yu Hui had mixed feelings and wanted to jump into the sea and swim in the past. In desperation, she tied the red scarf around her neck to the mast of the bow. The red scarf fluttered in the wind, and Huang Qiang and the soldiers on the dock were in tears. ...

Hui Yu, who returned to the mainland, didn't blame Huang Qiang. Half a month later, she wrote to her husband: "Distance is a kind of beauty and a preservative for our love. I once complained why you didn't go back to your hometown to accompany me. It was not until that day that I understood why you didn't want to leave the island and your soldiers. If I miss you in the future, I will look at our wedding photos and touch the military medal you gave me. It's windy on the island, so take care of yourself. I will take good care of it at home ... "

Holding this sweet letter from home, a strong sense of happiness and a sense of mission rooted in the island blend with each other, filling Huang Qiang's heart.

Luo, this "old island" has another kind of happiness.

Luo has worked in Beijian Island for 13 years. Because of his excellent work, he was awarded "good soldier" and "Military Training Model" for many times, and won the third class merit twice. He was also rated as "Top Ten Model Figures" by Zhuhai Garrison and as a model of theoretical study by Guangzhou Military Region.

However, on the road of love, he was frustrated repeatedly for a simple reason: the conditions in Beijian Island were extremely difficult, and many girls quietly walked away as soon as they heard about what happened on the island. Later, he simply stopped thinking about it and put all his energy into training, winning back more than 10 gold medals in various competitions. Early last year, his advanced deeds were widely publicized by the army and local media.

Unexpectedly, he soon received a long letter of 13 pages, written by a girl named Li. She told Luo that she was a nurse in the People's Hospital of Lipu County, Guangxi. After seeing his advanced deeds in the media, she admired and admired him very much.

Through letters and telephone exchanges, Luo found that he and Li shared many common interests, and his spirit of taking root in the island also conquered Li. At their wedding ceremony, Li published his own declaration of love: "He can stick to the island conditions so hard and dedicate his life to such people." Although being with Lin is a little less romantic, I am willing to be with him and support him for life. "

The reporter said that the Danish philosopher Kierkegaard said that how much a person can achieve depends, in a sense, on how much loneliness he can tolerate. People need concentration, not temporary concentration but long-term concentration, which is a kind of loneliness. The island sentry learned to stick to it by overcoming loneliness and taking root in the island. A person who knows how to persist must be worthy of love and will win love!

This island is short of this and that, but there is no shortage of talents. Many new recruits on the island for the first time have been thoroughly remoulded after years of experience in the company-

There are many champions on the isolated island.

In Beijian Island, when it comes to Ji Zhijun, everyone gives a thumbs up. He is a native of this island.

When Ji Zhijun first arrived in the company, he knew nothing about acting, let alone performing on the stage. But his nature is lively and active. No matter how annoying everyone is, as long as Doby talks to him, he will be able to smile.

The company immediately recruited him to join the performance team. Ji Zhijun, like a duck to water, quickly entered the role and gradually became the main force. After several successful performances, he became a "star" in the hearts of officers and men.

In June, 2007, he participated in the arrangement of the new song "Letter from Dad", which was well received in the amateur art performance of Guangzhou Military Region, and was also rated as an outstanding amateur actor of Guangzhou Military Region.

Fang Bin is the "top martial artist" of the company.

In February 2008, the company organized the aiming hand to compete in the course of "setting and refitting", and Fang Bin lost to Han Chong, the aiming hand of a certain class of the Fifth Artillery Corps, by 2 seconds.

There is no runner-up on the battlefield. From then on, he ran to the gun position to practice "fixed modification" as soon as he was free. Fang Bin found that "setting and refitting" mainly depends on the mental arithmetic ability of the sight. He skillfully used a game to quickly calculate numbers for "simulation" training, and his grades improved rapidly. Two months later, Fang Bin won the first prize in the competition of "Setting and Modification" of the group.

In the North Alliance, there is also a famous scholar named Chen Chong.

In 2003, the recruit Chen Chong came to Beijian Island and became a company document with a good cultural foundation. At first, the boring island life made him lose his way, and he often sneaked into the classroom to watch TV during exercise time. After the company commander knew it, he told him the story that the company veterans studied hard and were admitted to the military school. He is determined to learn from the old monitor and be admitted to the military school.

During the day, he studied hard under the "rooted tree" in front of the old barracks; In the evening, he was the last to leave the study room, and two platoon leaders who graduated from undergraduate courses also became his teachers; In the military training assessment, his achievements are among the best every time, and many training achievements break the company record.

In June 2005, he took the unified examination of the whole army, and he ranked first in the Guangzhou Military Region with a score of 480.

The reporter said that everyone has the sun, and it is important to make it rise and shine. The vast sea blocks the road from an isolated island to a wonderful world, but it can't extinguish the passion of officers and men of Beijian Company to perform a wonderful life. They are in a tiny place, but they shoulder the mission, and they have embarked on a broad road of life with indomitable spirit, striving for the first place. The stage is as big as the dream, because with the wings of the dream, the sky is the biggest stage.

This island is short of this and that, but it is not short of spirit. In the face of loneliness, officers and men created a unique island cultural life with enthusiasm and wisdom-

There is a lot of joy on the island.

"Defend the South China Sea and go to the northern end of Beijing", "Youth is dedicated to the blue sea and the elite soldiers to practice hard, and the sound of the waves stirs up the soldiers' lofty sentiments, duties and responsibilities, and keeps them in mind" ... Walking on the poem "Pedestrian Street" from the dock to the company barracks, the epigrams of the soldiers can be seen everywhere. Speaking of the origin of this street, there is another story.

One evening in early 2003, Deng Dongping, a company military doctor, was walking on the national defense highway leading to the dock. He happened to find that there were many low stone walls along the road, which were suitable for writing brush characters. He had a brainwave and wrote the word "North Point" on the stone wall of the dock with elegant running script. After more than a month, he wrote many poems on the low stone wall, which can be appreciated and inspiring.

I didn't expect this idea to be popular. Many officers and men imitate first, and then create their own poems, and the poems written are gradually organized. The company regularly organizes selection, and excellent works can be listed on the "pedestrian street" of poetry for everyone to read.

"I am the master of my vegetable field, and I have nothing to say if I steal it." This was the slogan of "Happy Farm" on the Internet by private Yang Hao. Before joining the army, he studied network engineering in a well-known university in Hunan, and whenever he had time, he would turn on the computer and play "stealing vegetables" games.

At the beginning of this year, after new employees joined the company, Yang Hao came to Beijian Island. On the afternoon of the first day of registration, the monitor assigned him the task of digging holes and spreading soil. While shoveling the earth, Yang Hao's mind still shows the feeling of being a "farmer" on the Internet from time to time. Who knows that before shoveling a few times, the superior soldier She Zeliang next to him smiled: "College students, do you know how to cover the soil? Bend or not, straight or not. "

A word made Yang Hao feel ashamed. About a month later, the storm on the island lasted for a week. The vegetable shed collapsed, the melon rack fell, and several half-baked pumpkins fell to the ground. Because the supply ship could not dock for two weeks, the whole company ate pickles and soybeans bibimbap for four or five days.

After the storm, Yang Hao understood the importance of vegetable fields to the company. He fell in love with the vegetable fields on the island, and whenever he had time, he would water and fertilize them. Every time he sees the fruitful new look on the vegetable field, he feels that he has become a real "happy farmer" on the island.

Last July, a touching story happened in the company canteen.

"Han Chong, how are you going to celebrate your birthday next week?" Li Jianbo, the platoon leader, and Han Chong, the squad leader, inadvertently talked about their birthdays.

"How do you celebrate your birthday? This is not an old tradition of the company. Can I still have a cake and have a birthday party? " Although Han Chong's expectant eyes only flashed by, they did not escape the eyes of Li Paichang.

Eating a birthday cake sounds like a common thing, but it is a "luxury" thing in Beijian. Although there is a tradition in Beijing Jianlian, no matter who is born, the company will make him a special dish and a bowl of egg noodles. But this time, Li Paichang wanted to give Han Chong a surprise.

He asked the stationmaster of the Wailingding Island Army to help him order a big cake in Zhuhai. It's time for the catering boat to go to the island again, but where is the cake in the hot July? I have no choice but to put it in the cabin.

This afternoon, platoon leader Li went to the dock to pick up the boat. When he opened the cake, the cream almost melted, and the words "Happy Birthday to Han Chong" embedded on the surface of the birthday cake were beyond recognition ... Even so, Bian Instructor and Li Paichang arranged a special birthday party for Han Chong.

At dinner time, the light suddenly went out, the happy birthday song sounded and a special cake was served. Among the 20 candles, the apple flowers carved by the cookhouse squad are dotted with severely deformed cakes, but they look very warm and beautiful by candlelight.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you ..." On the night of Beijian, Han Chong was very happy.

The reporter said that the island lacks this and that, but there is no shortage of joy and friendship, because it is always touching. The person who enters the north gate is the one at the north gate. The officers and men used their intelligence to create a colorful cultural life, keeping it away from loneliness; If you are in trouble, everyone will help you together, forming a friendship of comrades-in-arms that is thicker than water and as close as brothers, and the hearts of officers and men in isolated islands are closer.
