For the " Art Soldier " in the army, most people have the impression of various singing and dancing performances, and there is no need for corresponding comprehensive training in daily life. If the soldiers of the art troupe cannot go to the battlefield to fight in an emergency or when the war comes. It is precisely these situations that have led some friends to question this: Why does the troops recruit art soldiers every year? Is this action necessary enough?
According to relevant people, the total number of art troupes in the army is not large, and under normal circumstances, it usually remains at about a few thousand people. China calls hundreds of thousands of new recruits every year. The number of veterans in my country remains at around 2 million. Compared with the total number of soldiers with a huge scale, the number of staff in the art troupe is undoubtedly insignificant.
When various literary and artistic performances are needed, many art soldiers from the art troupe still need to go to troops from various places to perform separately, and there will be a serious shortage of manpower. At this time, some logistics personnel will be transferred to other troops to help. It is precisely because art soldiers need to perform frequently, which leads to obvious differences in their daily training and ordinary soldiers.
Ordinary soldiers need to undergo strong physical fitness and other subjects every day to improve their physical fitness as much as possible and maintain strong enough combat capabilities. But for art soldiers, their daily body shape and singing and dancing skills training are just as hard, and they also require a lot of time and sweat every day. After all, one minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage. On this basis, art soldiers naturally cannot continue to receive too much physical training like ordinary soldiers.
Relevant people have given data. The art troupe with about 2,000 people holds about 200 art performances every year, and the number of art soldiers required for each performance is quite large. Because many programs are large-scale performances, according to this calculation method, the tasks undertaken by each art soldier are heavy. Not only that, because the living environment of the troops is relatively boring, they cannot go wherever they want to go, and there are few daily entertainment activities like us. Art troupe was formed and literary performances were often held, in order to allow soldiers to have more fun in their hard and boring training, so that their physical and mental health could be guaranteed. With full relaxation and rest, better investment in subsequent training can also enhance the enthusiasm of these soldiers in subsequent training and activities.
It is precisely for this reason that the art soldiers themselves also bear corresponding tasks and responsibilities, and their selection standards are also very strict. In the past, some people believed that some celebrities became members of the art troupe after they were not popular, but in fact, these celebrities themselves are members of the art troupe. The exposure of the outside world is not the primary task for a art troupe, which gives some people the illusion that they only join the iron rice bowl of the army after they fade out of the screen. In any case, the existence of art soldiers is necessary and is a way to promote the culture of the army and the spirit of the military.
