The female honor guard in Hong Kong wears out three pairs of riding boots a year. Is this the best way to promote female soldiers?

This is a great way to spread the word.

First of all, let’s analyze the meaning behind wearing out three pairs of riding boots. According to common sense, the quality of a pair of ordinary riding boots can be worn for two or three years. The quality of military riding boots is twice or even more than ordinary shoes. Therefore, it seems unreasonable to wear out three pairs of riding boots in one year. But when we delve deeper into the reason, it is the result of the hard training that female soldiers, especially female honor guards, undergo every day. The People's Liberation Army requires honor guards to make a loud noise when landing during ceremonies. The riding boots gradually wear out with each step and exceed the normal wear rate. Three pairs of shoes in one year, or one pair of shoes worn out in four months, are the result of the perseverance and sweat of the female honor guards day after day.

Such a high-intensity training is indeed very difficult, but what is missing is the spirit of the People's Liberation Army that is not afraid of hardships, fights to overcome difficulties, and unconditionally obeys discipline. It also reflects their mission and responsibility of loyalty to the motherland and the people. This very well publicizes the good atmosphere within the People's Liberation Army, and is very suitable as a propaganda theme for female honor guards.

Some people may think that such an exaggerated approach will make contemporary young people shrink back from this glorious profession. This is impossible because it underestimates the national spirit of the Chinese nation. China has been around for five thousand years. This is an ironclad fact, and the spirit it has created is the driving force that supports the development of our nation and remains standing. Such publicity makes people more inspiring and courageous to take responsibility.

Indeed, becoming a soldier must be hard work. However, whether it is the country or the people, the awe of the military is obvious to all. The best expressions of this are the slogans about giving priority to soldiers, the slogans about being proud to be soldiers, and the reverence of every Chinese people for soldiers that appear in many places. There is peace now because there are people carrying the burden for us. Of course, being a soldier is hard work, but protecting the country is very honorable. Behind this propaganda, it reflects the military's disciplinary concept and praises them. Therefore, this material is a good way to promote it.
