Live out the heroism of a man, the heroic poetry of a man

Every time I jump over a limit, I gain new strength; countless battles between life and death make me fearless. Wang Delei's profile: He joined the army in 1984, entered the Changsha Engineering Corps Academy in 1987, graduated in 1989, and served as the platoon leader of the 14th company of a certain unit of the Guangzhou Military Region. In 1991, he was awarded the title of "Model Youth for Flood Fighting and Rescue" by the Youth League Central Committee and received first-class merit. In October 1994, he participated in the National Day ceremony as a representative of the PLA heroes and models. In 1995, he was rated as an outstanding grassroots cadre and currently serves as the deputy battalion staff officer of a certain unit of the Guangzhou Military Region.

All I have done over the years is just doing my part, nothing special.

Two years of studying at the Changsha Engineering Corps Academy is actually equivalent to two consecutive years of fighting on different battlefields. Anyone who can insist on winning every battle will definitely not be the same person after two years of fighting. After graduating from this school, I not only transformed from an ordinary soldier to an officer, but also really reached a special state in terms of physical fitness, willpower, courage, etc.: I am highly sensitive to difficulties, dangers, and obstacles. . Fighting floods, rescuing people, acting bravely, going to Tibet... Faced with all life and death tests, we naturally enter a "combat state". At this time, all the tension of life bursts out with one goal: defeat the "enemy" in front of us! For us, this is the normal state of life, because "combat state" is the normal state of soldiers. In the summer of 1991, my company was ordered to go to Xinzhou County, Hubei Province to perform flood fighting and rescue tasks. At the critical moment when the Jushui River embankment breached, I led the "death squad" and jumped into the roaring torrent, holding hands and shoulder to shoulder, building a They formed a strong human wall, fought for more than 5 hours, blocked the breach with wheat bags and cotton wool, and saved the lives and property of 80,000 people in Xinzhou County. To be honest, it is in such hardships and dangers that the true nature of our soldiers is revealed! And we are also experiencing the dignity and glory of life in the challenge of life and death!

To tell the truth, it was the military academy and the army that trained me and gave me this stage in life. I should fulfill my responsibilities here and do my best to do a good job.

Performing our duties is not so much a moral requirement for us as it is a habit developed in the military academy many years ago. Our way of thinking, habits and practices are all designed and trained according to the needs of the battlefield. The first duty of a soldier is to obey. Wherever I am, I have to do everything in place without allowing any oversight or distraction. I am a platoon leader, and I just want to be a platoon leader well. I don’t think about other things that have nothing to do with it. The so-called platoon leader is just a vanguard. What is being competed on the battlefield is strength, and the soldiers obey my strength as the vanguard. When performing tasks, I must walk in front of the soldiers and work harder than the soldiers. I remember that during a mission to help people affected by floods resume production, a dam of more than 150 meters needed to be built. I personally undertook the most arduous task of bunkering and building embankments. I soaked in polluted water for 5 days and 5 nights in a row. During the day, I was exposed to the scorching sun and endured mosquito bites at night. Eight of my fingernails were scratched off while grabbing earth bags on my hands, and my crotch was severely ulcerated. I didn't say a word. When I completed the task, I couldn't stand up. My comrades carried me away. Complete the mission and defeat the "enemy". This military order puts us into an "extreme working state." And every time we jump over a limit, we gain new strength; countless battles between life and death make us fearless and invincible. In fact, when a person concentrates on doing something, there is nothing that cannot be done beautifully. It may be difficult for people who have not received military training to do this. But for us, everything is very accustomed and natural.

(Interview: Peng Jianmei)

I am obsessed with this kind of coolness:

The sonorous and powerful goose step in the big playground,

Standing guard Standing still,

Standing forward in front of the gangsters,

Fighting floods and rescuing people, jumping into the whirlpool without risking their lives

Hou Hongli’s profile: Born in rural Henan in 1973 , joined the army in 1991, and was admitted to the Changsha Engineering Corps Academy from the Jinan Military Region in 1994. He is currently studying in the 12th team of the school.

I have only been in college for a short period of time, only two years. However, these two years were enough to change my entire life. I can't tell how it changed, but I feel like I changed from a compass to a set square. This is not to say how smooth and sophisticated I was in the past, but to say that I was somewhat less tough and pure. I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I came to the college, I brought 1,000 yuan. I originally thought that when I first arrived, "meaning" was indispensable in order to have a good relationship. But during the entrance examination, he was discovered by the district captain. The district captain said, I'll save the money for you and take it back during the holidays. You won't need it here. I thought to myself that it was always necessary to hand over a handful of cigarettes, so I bought a pack of Baisha cigarettes. Unexpectedly, when I handed over the cigarette, the district captain's face sank: "Don't do this!" Slowly I discovered that this place is indeed different from other places, especially the cadres and teachers. If you are full of righteousness and come into contact with them, you will always feel your "smallness", giving you a sense of squeezing, and you will willingly accept this squeezing.

The first labor class is to level the playground. Changsha in September is like a steamer. Standing under the bright sun, the heat squeezed from the top of my head and my feet, making me breathless. And our captain has been standing under the sun waiting for us early. "He's just giving orders, how can he really do it?" I thought to myself. But as soon as they were divided into groups, the captain pulled up a car and started running. The captain was nearly middle-aged and had gained some weight. After a few cars, he was soaked all over and his foot was accidentally twisted. He was seen limping and kept pulling. Everyone was rushing to replace him, but the captain never let go. In this way, what can you say, I no longer feel hot or tired, and I have completed two days of tasks in half a day.

The first mine class was already in late autumn. The teacher completed the tasks of digging, laying, clearing, and concealing mines in the pouring rain. A classmate tried to hold an umbrella for him, but was rejected. He wants us to understand that war does not choose climate and environment. Any speculation and trickery may lead to failure or sacrifice. We know that teachers are talking about training and being a good person. To be a soldier, you must be rigorous, conscientious and meticulous, which is the lesson of blood and fire; to be a commander, you must be self-disciplined, perseverant and courageous, which is the blessing of a soldier.

In the first management class, the teacher said: "Management means taking care of small things. The failure of any big thing is caused by the negligence of small things." Even if the roll call is called, the teacher still wants us to "arrive" and be proud of ourselves. They said that if you can't even show your voice when leading troops in war, how can you command the troops?

Perhaps, these are education and edification. Anyway, after two years, I feel that my body has become stronger and my waist has become straighter. It seems that in my heart, there is no such thing as being insignificant or hesitant about looking forward and backward. When I went home to visit relatives last year, the train reached the junction of Hunan and Hubei. Seven or eight big men came up and bullied a migrant girl. I jumped up on the back of the chair and scolded him harshly. At my call, everyone in the carriage subdued the bad guys together. Afterwards, people asked, you are a little guy, aren't you scared? I said, I don’t think so. After graduating this year, I submitted an application and asked to work in Tibet. My relatives advised me, your original army was in Henan, and your uncle was also there. What a great condition, why did you go to that miserable place? To be honest, I can't explain why. I just feel that I have endured all kinds of hardships in college, and I am not afraid of the hardships in Tibet. There are few people there, so who else would I be? When I got home, my classmates also said that I had changed. Some students were particularly willing to date me, saying that even though you, a soldier, have no money, you have something more than many of our rich classmates. The father of a classmate is the head of the county industrial and commercial bureau, and the house is always packed with guests. When I went home that time, he spent 2,000 yuan to book a karaoke room for me, but I didn't go. He was very unhappy and complained that I was not chic enough and made my classmates think I came from the 1950s and 1960s. I wrote him a letter and said that spending 2,000 yuan to rent a karaoke hall for me was too extravagant. Friendship is a feeling in each person's heart, which cannot be eaten or drunk. My dislike of getais and dance pavilions does not mean that I have stayed in the 1950s and 1960s, just as following fashion and fashion does not mean that I stayed in the 1980s and 1990s.

Regarding chicness, we once had the same understanding, such as riding a new car, wearing famous brands, drinking wine, spending a lot of money... But now in my opinion, walking in a sonorous and powerful goose in the big playground is very chic, and standing guard is so confident. The motionless posture is very cool, standing up in front of gangsters is cool, and fighting floods and rescue operations to protect people's lives and property by leaping into the whirlpool is also cool. I told my classmates how sincerely I was obsessed with such unrestrainedness, but it was a pity that you lacked this experience. Later, he wrote back and said that he understood me and praised me as the richest person who "becomes miserable when the world is suffering, and then becomes rich when the world is rich". He sold his motorcycle and started riding his father's old bicycle again. He excused himself from birthday parties and refused gifts from relatives and friends. He said he would work hard to get closer to me. 4
