Wearing military uniform, heroic and cool. There is a tempered "steel rose" that is blooming in its own world.
Today we will meet Chen Xiaoyue, a 2022 administrative management major at the School of Public Management/Emergency Management.
At noon, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, the grassland had dried up, revealing a piece of grass roots, and the wind raised the dust on the ground to reflect a unique halo.
As the commander of the squad leader, the fully armed female soldiers set out one after another, crawling forward with the loess. No one wants to fall behind, because the person who climbs the fastest enjoys the right to stop first. When the person finally stopped, the originally bright camouflage uniforms of the female soldiers were already covered with dust...
Two years ago The training scene of the recruit company , Chen Xiaoyue is still vivid in her mind . The experience of joining the army for her was like chewing a fresh oil-sweetened . She felt sour at first, but when she looked back again, she exuded a different freshness and sweetness, with endless aftertaste.

Recruitment, please join!
" When I was a child, my grandfather took my hand to the street, and I would always meet an old man like him who stopped and touched my head, making fun of it. "
When I was a child, Chen Xiaoyue was confused. It was not until she became older that she learned that these old men were grandfather's comrades-in-arms. If they had an alumni meeting, they would travel thousands of miles to this small seaside town.
Once a soldier, his life will be the soul of the military. Chen Xiaoyue's desire to join the army began with the influence of the strong atmosphere of the family . Her grandfather was an engineer in the 1960s, and her uncle was a retired Air Force.
"That was a hot period..." Grandpa was not well educated, but he liked to tell stories about Xiao Yue in an unstandard Mandarin. At the beginning of the word "hot", grandpa could talk endlessly and spit for an hour. Looking at the light in grandfather's eyes, Xiaoyue also began to yearn for the army .
019 National Day military parade, Chen Xiaoyue, who is in her third year of high school, watched the military parade for the first time in full. Stand up, steadily, politely... The female soldiers in the square team were upright, firm and heroic, and were full of righteousness from head to toe. "It's so cool to be a female soldier." Watching the team passing through Tiananmen , the resolute figure of the soldier gradually reflected in her mind, outlining a vivid future.
After the college entrance examination, Chen Xiaoyue successfully entered the Jinan University administrative management major with a high score of 650. Although he has successfully obtained the admission ticket to his favorite university, his idea of joining the army is still lingering in Chen Xiaoyue's mind. "Go and try it." In the eyes of my mother, Xiaoyue is still a child who has not grown up. It is the best choice to hone her character and exercise her abilities in the melting pot of the army.
"Why should a young man not dream of picking stars? Dare to pull the mulberry bow and shoot Yuheng." Registration, physical examination, pre-service training... Chen Xiaoyue passed five passes and killed six generals, successfully becoming a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army , serving in a certain unit of the Eastern Theater Command. With the pen in the army, no matter where you ask, the picture of your new life is slowly unfolding.

Even though Chen Xiaoyue had made enough mental preparations to endure hardship, the strength of the recruit company still made her feel overwhelmed. The 3-kilometer unmovable, the hang of curved arms, and push-up training have become a must-face every day. Xiao Yue, who has never received the system sports training since childhood, seems unsatisfied. After each training, Chen Xiaoyue often twitched her legs and her whole body was sore and weak.
Physical training tests endurance, and regular training was also "trained into tricks" by the squad leader - Standing military posture training requires standard movements, upright posture, and highly concentrated spirit. "The squad leader will appear quietly behind him, trying to pry our arms open. If the hand is pry, it proves that the movement is not standard." After 4 hours of continuous training, the squad leader finally announced the end. The highly tense nerves and muscles stretched in an instant, and the whole class fell to the ground.

The tradition of the recruit company's "one person gets sick, the whole family takes medicine" has also left a brilliant mark in Chen Xiaoyue's memory. " The soldiers in the same year have the deepest feelings, and this is how they trained ." During the training, the sound of the breathing of the new recruits and the ticking sound of sweat falling on the ground intertwined, forming a song that shares the joys and sorrows. This emotional connection of "suffering hardships together" builds the solid foundation of trust in the new recruits company and also weaves Xiao Yue's best memory of the army.
As the youngest female soldier in the recruit company, Chen Xiaoyue has also become the "corps favorite" of the company . After the recruits were awarded the ranks, their comrades who had trained side by side were about to go to their respective battlefields. On the day of parting, Xiao Yue, who had never shed tears during the hard training, cried into tears. In order to comfort her, the female soldier in the team carried Xiaoyue on her back and coaxed her like a child. In Xiaoyue's eyes, this golden orchid friendship has long surpassed time and region and has become a permanent treasure in her heart.
ready to go for transformation
"Although the three-foot machine is small, it connects thousands of troops; the telephone service position is ordinary, but it connects to the nine heavens and five oceans."
The day when Chen Xiaoyue was assigned to the new unit, the magnolia tree was falling leaves, and she set off again, and she became a telecommander at the military headquarters . There was no battlefield filled with smoke as I imagined, and the three-foot machine was her position.
A small telephone desk, it is not easy to deal with various tasks flexibly and calmly. In the era of information-based combat, the military soldiers have put forward higher requirements. They not only need to memorize all kinds of knowledge in their hearts, so that users can answer questions whenever they ask; they also need to repeatedly listen to and identify important user recordings, analyze the pronunciation characteristics of users in different regions, and ensure that users' voices are accurately identified in a short time; in addition, practicing Wubi typing and numeric keys to achieve the "the fingers are flying, the sound is recorded, and the word is not dropped" standard is also their work requirements.
The army's work cannot be sloppy, and The long-term professional training has further shaped Xiao Yue's rigorous personality .

"Let the static cultural relics come alive and let the silent history come out."
A camouflage world has both rigorous work and a broad stage, allowing Chen Xiaoyue to pursue what she loves in her heart.
Shortly after she arrived at the military headquarters, Xiao Yue, who had been interested in history since she was a child, was attracted by the rich military history museum. She couldn't help but feel ready to move, and she immediately signed up to apply for the position of commentator to the platoon leader.

In order to better spread the red culture of the army, Xiaoyue memorized the explanation materials day and night, and consulted a large number of historical materials and books to expand her knowledge reserves, and polished her expression skills. In this position, she has received leaders at all levels and has also formed a deep friendship with platoon leaders. They visited ancient times and talked about academic theory and the world. While chatting and laughing, the bright light of the moon shines in, and the room is clear and bright...
In Chen Xiaoyue's eyes, the army is like a machine that runs tightly. As a screw on the chain, any link that cannot be done well will affect the overall operation. The furnace produces good steel. These ordinary little things are whetstone . She sticks to her post, touches the preciousness of the ordinary, and also sees the meaning of being a soldier day after day.
Firm: Find the direction in the move forward
" Two years of road I walked slowly, and unknowingly walked a long way , two years of laughter and scolding, two years of hard work, separated me from the past in time, and connected me with the future." Chen Xiaoyue wrote this when she was discharged from the army.
In August 2022, Chen Xiaoyue returned to the university campus and went to Jinan University with classmates from the 2022 class to report , opening a brand new university life. Looking back on the decision when applying for a volunteer two years ago, Xiaoyue just feels that everything is the best arrangement.
At that time, she yearned for Guangzhou, Guangfu Food, Lingnan culture, Cantonese chanting... A bay of streams is green, and the lychees on both sides are red, outlining the taste of old Guangzhou, which makes her dream. Now that I have really arrived at Jinan University, Xiaoyue only feels that the echoes I never forget are relieved.
After entering the school, Chen Xiaoyue strolls the campus over and over and feels the atmosphere of the university. "Hometimes when she was studying at Ji University are really beautiful ."

Nowadays, she always likes to wear a long skirt and has short hair with her ears. When she smiles, she blushed on her cheeks. Like other girls, Xiaoyue likes sweet food and cute accessories. The only military aura that could be perceived from her was the calmness projected from the depths of her eyes that was inconsistent with her age.
While words, the "child who has not grown up" in my mother's mouth has disappeared. Two years of diving and training are like a rehearsal of future social life, which has taught her to endure hardships and has also made her clearer in the direction of her future wanting to continue her study and further study. " In the future, I want to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I really like the feeling of immersed in learning. I hope to go a little further on the academic road ."
The imprint left by military life is still exerting its magic. Chen Xiaoyue will wake up naturally at 6:15 am every morning and then start a whole day of study and life. Continuing her learning habit in the army, she respects every class and hopes to absorb as much knowledge as possible in a limited time.
"Our professional teachers are all very charming and knowledgeable, and taking their classes is a pleasure." When the university development topic paves into a calm and open sea, she tries to use her past experience to clarify the goals and paths, and put into perseverance in efforts and practice.
Military, these two words have become an anchor on the vast sea, deeply involved in Chen Xiaoyue's life , providing a solid foundation for her to have a richer life possibilities in the future.
Fighting the military flag, shining brightly; once a military trip, you will have no regrets in your life!
