Return to the interview and feel many feelings
— Ministry of Construction Life story of Zhang Hengbin, a former veteran of the 38th Army,
After years of military life, the author devoted himself to the media for 18 years. During this period, he has conducted exclusive interviews with 100 characters. Perhaps it is the role of the blood inheritance of the heroic force of the 38th Army. The author's face-to-face in-depth interview with Zhang Hengbin, a veteran of the 38th Army, gave me a different feeling, a different mood, and a different taste.
"All the Scenery of the Road. A Lifetime Glory" was first released by the [38 Military Soul] public account, and was soon serialized and forwarded by online media such as [Today's Headlines]. After being forwarded by [Today's Headlines], the number of views quickly rose to nearly 20,000 in just two or three days. Zhang Hengbin asked the author to contact us with satisfaction to print this series of interviews into beautiful books. A grand, dignified and elegant paper-based interview with the spread of pictures and texts on the Internet quickly won the favor of many new and old comrades and readers. For a time, Zhang Hengbin, a respected veteran and model worker, once again became the focus of hot discussion.
Looking back on this interview, the author has six major insights and inspirations:
connects history, inherits the spirit, how to fight the battle, how to train soldiers, tracks the times, innovates and develops
maintains determination, sticks to the bottom line
loves the party and serves the country, firmly believe in
sets a benchmark, sets a model

connects history, inherits the spirit
The author joined the army in 1975 and Zhang Hengbin transferred to his career in 1976. As people who have passed by me, soldiers, military affairs and current affairs, everyone knows it and understands it. And what was the situation during this period of "before this and after the founding of the People's Republic of China"? What kind of developments and changes are there?
is more specific. Where does Zhang Hengbin’s army come from and where does it pass? How was the "steel force" of the 38th Army created, and why did it have such influence, appeal and shock? In the peace period, the army still emerged in many heroes. For example, Zhang Hengbin can become a typical model and a model worker. What is the cause, where is the motivation, how can the "hero model" style and remain unchanged for life...
These questions, these stories and such feelings have been hovering in the author's mind, lingering, thinking, through a representative figure like Zhang Hengbin, the history of the army is truly and vividly reflected, and it is a memory of the veterans of the same era, and a historical fact and a living education for later generations.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Everything forward cannot forget the path we have walked; no matter how far we go or how bright the future we have walked, we must not forget the past we have walked..." The General Secretary also warned us that the education of party history and military history should be combined with heroes and models and the models around us.
is searching everywhere. Zhang Hengbin is such a typical example, he is the heroes and models around us. Through interviews and excavations of a veteran and a model worker like Zhang Hengbin, we have connected and integrated the three sections of history after the founding of the People's Republic of China, before the reform and opening up, and the new era, and understood the traditional style of the old army and gained it. This significance is self-evident.

How to fight the battle, how to train soldiers
Zhang Hengbin's experience in joining the army revealed an important military strategy and military thought.
Zhang Hengbin was conscripted in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the troops he joined were the world-famous 38th Army. In July 1953, the 38th Army returned from the Korean battlefield, and the troops entered the training and carried out barracks construction.The biggest feature, the most prominent, most important and realistic requirement of training during this period is to summarize the experience of the just-concluded great war of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and reveal the tactics and training methods from actual combat. This kind of training is the most effective and effective.
As a soldier, you must prepare for war. When fighting, you must train according to the current and future actual combat requirements. The idea of "however you fight a war, you can practice the soldiers" was, in the past, now, and will be equally effective in the future.

Tracking the era, innovative development
Tracing the trajectory of Zhang Hengbin's growth, innovation and hard work are the two most shining and brightest words. Zhang Hengbin is not satisfied with just doing his job well and completing tasks. He always combines his job, follows the times, and makes breakthroughs in innovation and development.
In the past, when the communication equipment was relatively backward, when the communication facilities such as radio stations had to be sent to the division for repairs. Due to his appearance and efforts, the communication equipment failed and "maintenance could not be released from the regiment"; the traditional artillery group shooting and centralized shooting, the password transmission method was single and the time was slow. Due to his innovation in cluster networking, "one password, group gun volley" was realized!
Zhang Hengbin not only innovates in technology, but also often makes breakthroughs in work; not only in the army, but also in the local area after being transferred to work. His innovative practice shows that the times are always developing, and innovation is endless. If you want to develop and do things in the work performed and the tasks performed, you must work hard on innovation and seek breakthroughs. The times are developing, and innovation is infinite!

Keep your determination and stick to the bottom line
Consistency and bottom line are a symbol of a person's maturity, and it is also a necessary quality and due realm for a party member and a cadre. With the determination to " never forget the original aspiration and keep the mission in mind", and with the bottom line awareness of compliance with laws and regulations and strict self-discipline, we will stand the test and pass the test of "power, money, and women" in the face of the huge temptations and challenges of "power, money, and women"; we will "let the wind and waves rise and sit firmly on the fishing boat" in the face of various political storms and color revolutionary tests.
"After the influence and training of the 38th Army's steel troops, it is like a brick from a kiln, and it has been finalized." Zhang Hengbin grew from an ordinary young man to a qualified soldier and party member and cadre, and always adhered to the creed of "being a good person and being a good official". In the army, he worked as a technician and a corps chief, insisted on not being greedy or taking advantage of it, and was "clean in both hands" when he was transferred. In the local area, the acting factory director deals with difficult problems, adheres to principles, is fair and honest; the director has organized the allocation of houses three times for more than ten years, and all of them are selected by employees, and they live in old houses for a long time; they act according to the system and procedures when dealing with sensitive issues such as personnel and finance, so as to seek justice in order to openly seek justice. After the audit of retirement and resignation, the staff gave six words of evaluation: innocent, clean, and transparent.
"Don't praise people for their good colors, just leave the world full of clear air." Work hard and frugal all your life and always stick to the bottom line. Someone was talking about Zhang Hengbin's stupidity behind his back. He said: I would rather hear people say I'm stupid than label "greedy". That would only slander the party and let my children lose their money, so that I can regret it. Only by being innocent can one "live freely and be calm in one's heart"!

Love the party and serve the country, firmly believe in
Zhang Hengbin said: "The one who gave birth to me was the mother, the one who cultivated me was the party, and grew up in the military university." Since he was a member of the party, he should have greater pursuits and a higher realm.
In the army, he "as a soldier, he is the general in charge", unwilling to be mediocre, dares to be the first, and strives to make achievements in his position; when he goes to the local area, he takes over the winery called "mess", and manages it in an orderly manner. More than 100 employees jointly wrote letters to keep him as the leader. As the director of the sanitation department, on the basis of almost starting from scratch, he led his employees to rely on their own strength to work hard, innovate and start businesses, and lead the sanitation work from tradition to modernity.
There is faith in your heart and strength under your feet.For many years, every time he walks a distance, he has left a solid trace step by step, and every time he goes through a position, he has produced a bunch of fruitful fruits. He won the reputation of praise for the party and created achievements and rewards for the people that were recognized by Beijing and the state.

Set the benchmark and set the model
Zhang Hengbin is a model of labor commended by provinces, cities and the state, a benchmark set the fiery construction era and the open era, and a inheritor and practitioner of the Shi Chuanxiang spirit. His exemplary style vividly reflects the light of the spiritual spectrum of the Communists. A typical example is a flag, which indicates the direction of progress.
General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly advocated that a person "must have ambition, backbone and confidence." Ambition, backbone and confidence are the noble qualities and role model that every Communist Party member in the new era should have. Zhang Hengbin set a benchmark and set an example in this regard. He has the ambition and made achievements for the party throughout his life; he has the backbone, diligence throughout his life, and is innocent as an official; he has the confidence, can do whatever he does, and do well in everything he does!
is particularly worthy of praise and praise. Zhang Hengbin’s innovative and practical spirit. When we evaluate a person's job, we usually refer to him performing his duties conscientiously and completing tasks with high standards. In addition to doing his job well, Zhang Hengbin always seeks breakthroughs in innovation and shows his achievements in innovation!
The era is developing, innovation is infinite, and innovation is rare and precious in "forging on a new journey and making contributions to the new era". The goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is to rely on the hard work and innovative efforts of hundreds of millions of people to seek breakthroughs one by one and achieve perfectly.
A flower blooms alone is not spring, but the garden is full of colorful flowers. Carrying great causes requires creative labor and innovative development. If we are like Zhang Hengbin, the work we are carrying out will be prosperous and prosperous; if we are like Zhang Hengbin, the great cause we are carrying out will be lush and leaves, with flowers, showing infinite magnificent and wonderful scenery!
Innovation will make your ambition stronger, your backbone stronger, and your confidence more strongly; innovation must start with me and start now, and Zhang Hengbin is the model!
