In this youth garden that breeds the future ■ PLA Daily reporter Zhang Lin The river of years surges forward. In the twinkling of an eye, the calendar of 2021 turned to the last few pages. Looking back on 2021, the strategy of building a strong army with talents is further embedded in the strategic layout of building a strong army in the new era. The "Trinity" training system has achieved fruitful results. Our military colleges and universities have further promoted the reconstruction of the teaching system... 2021 is extremely extraordinary for the struggling Chinese military schools. Let's go into the military academy campus and have a look—— Vigorous, youthful, serious and lively... It breeds the strength of the Chinese army to move towards the future and is the "place where the dreams of the majority of aspiring young people begin". This year, we saw such a scene: the students were fully armed, walking from the campus to the field and from the playground to the "battlefield", with less "bookish" on their bodies; The teachers put on their bags, went to the army and the training ground, and the "smoke smell" of teaching became stronger after they returned; A number of army officers and soldiers are full of spring breeze and come to the military academy to "return to the furnace for further study" with the hot training experience of the front line of the army. There are more "new faces" in the classroom. This year, we heard such voices: in the martial arts competition, the students fought bravely and tenaciously, and the "battlefield" filled with gunsmoke was at war; In the online international forum, the students' fluent foreign languages, unique perspectives and professional speeches have become another bright "business card" for Chinese soldiers, which has attracted praise from foreign military counterparts; Extracurricular activities, robots and UAVs are cool on the stage, and the sound of keyboard tapping and machine roaring is heard. This year, we touched such a temperature: a test tube feels slightly hot. Waiting on the side is Xie Lin, an undergraduate student carrying out medical experiments; A bowl of instant noodles was already cool. Graduate student Li Yihao directly picked it up and wolfed it down. His eyes were afraid to leave the screen for fear of omissions in the ongoing data test; The surface of a pile of A4 paper is still warm. This is the graduation thesis just printed by doctoral student Cao Lin. He has been studying for four and a half years. He went to the plateau and entered the military camp for many times and contributed to war preparation through his professional research. It is his most ardent dream. This year, we saw many unforgettable faces. Like local university students, they are just ordinary students. They often shout "xiaoquxing", but they always show unparalleled strength at every critical moment. You see, the retrograde in the fight against the epidemic and the back in the fight against floods are the other side of the military cadets. Perhaps, like us, they are just ordinary young people. In order to eat their favorite food, they can take advantage of the holiday to "go on a trip"; Fly thousands of miles to Beijing just to see the flag raising in Tiananmen Square; Improve your grades and laugh; Physical decline, chagrin However, as long as they mention the country, science and technology and military, they can always talk to you flatly: they have met the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party and will witness how to achieve the second Centennial goal. Their youth happens to resonate with the best times. The big world outside and the small desk in front of them are installed in the hearts of military cadets at the same time, prompting them to think and tackle key problems in the future. Focusing on everyone, pursuit, exploration, struggle and growth constitute their 2021. The season is like a stream, and it is the end of the year. At the moment, many graduate students have stood on the podium of graduation defense. Soon, they will take what they have learned for many years to military barracks in the north and south of the river; Some students have walked on the march of winter training in the morning of winter. I don't know which mountain or river it is, and will witness their solid steps to forge ahead. We are recording their footprints; We are looking forward to their future. 2021, feel the pulse of the times of the Chinese Military Academy ■ Lei bin School training, battlefield training, social practice, rescue and disaster relief... In 2021, we feel the youthful vitality and bloody responsibility of military academy students. The sun shines obliquely on the desk through the glass window, and the library of National Defense University of science and technology is quiet. At 9 a.m., the melodious sound of violin came slowly, and the students looked up one after another. After a while, the affectionate song sounded: "sing a folk song to the party..." Following the sound, in less than 5 minutes, dozens of students had gathered in the hall. They spontaneously sang "sing a folk song to the party", and the song resounded through the library. At the moment, the Army Armored academy is bathed in the bright spring. I don't know when a piano was added to the playground, and the music "sing a folk song to the party" sounded slowly. Teachers and students came from all directions, waving their hands and singing. Sunshine, square, military uniform, white coat. On this day, the students of the armed police sergeant School entered Zhejiang University of traditional Chinese medicine and sang the same song in front of the party flag, playing music and on the campus of the local university. This day is youth day on May 4, 2021. Changsha, Beijing, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Xi'an... In this youth festival, military cadets everywhere spontaneously organized a special military academy "flash". This "dream linkage" can not help but remind people of such high spirited young students and such pure childlike heart in the rolling wind and thunder of the May 4th Movement 102 years ago. Time flows, changing the world. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party, and the party leads the people's army to stride forward. Looking back on this year, the military academy is also undergoing profound changes. Today's youth are known as the "strong military generation" and "powerful generation". From these changes, we listened to the increasingly fierce voice of the times of Chinese young soldiers and felt the stronger pulse of the times of Chinese military academies. Curriculum change It's not so much "rush to the field" as "rush to the exam" Years and months without trace, there are always some experiences that people can't forget. If Zheng aozhen, a graduate of the 2021 Naval Engineering University, were asked to recall his military career, he might start with "a curriculum". Zheng aochen has a special label - the first batch of unmanned equipment engineering students. In the introduction to admission, Zheng aochen saw that the whole curriculum was crowded with compulsory and restricted courses. New specialty, new challenge. Nearly 70 compulsory courses, involving teaching teams of more than 100 people in 7 colleges and departments. Zheng Aoyu said that they are the "rush" people in the school. In the last class, I just argued with my classmates about "what kind of hull has better performance", and in the next class, I discussed with another comrade in arms of the college "which navigation and positioning method is more accurate in rainy weather" It's not so much "rush to the field" as "rush to the exam". In the new era, military reform is changing with each passing day, and the reform and transformation has a long way to go. The resulting "chain reaction" is also radiated into the curriculum of Chinese military academies. 39 courses of the school of Electronic Science of the University of national defense science and technology are derived from the "demand list" of the front-line forces; The rocket Sergeant academy campus formulates personalized teaching plans according to the types of students; Shijiazhuang Flight College explored and optimized the growth link of fighter pilots, and the first batch of J-10 flight cadets grew rapidly and flapped their wings into the blue sky; Rocket Army Engineering University offers courses such as "basic knowledge of joint operations", builds a joint operation practice participation platform, and strengthens students' joint operation literacy; Relying on the military vocational education platform, the Naval Military Medical University launched a series of micro courses taught by academicians, allowing famous teachers and new courses to grow with students When new things continue to appear in the military field, the students' vision determines the future of the army to a certain extent. To further connect the school with the camp, colleges and universities must act according to the time and the trend in the construction of talent training mode and teaching system, and complete the comprehensive transformation of teaching mode, content, method and organization form as soon as possible. In the TV play "bright sword", there is a story: after the founding of new China, the "iron triangle" in Northwest Shanxi, which is already a military cadre, entered the Military Academy for further study, and finally became an excellent general with strategic vision and overall thinking. Like them, this year, many groups of middle and senior commanders have entered military academies and become cadets. Ding Yongwei, captain of a naval unit. This autumn, he left his familiar sea and warships and went to the National Defense University for further training. This training course composed of military and division cadres caught up with the new curriculum system launched by the National Defense University. The total number of courses increased from 192 to 309, and the renewal rate of teaching content of command courses exceeded 90%. These courses aim at the same direction - joint battle command. With the deepening of course teaching, Ding Yongwei's feeling is more and more intense: "the curriculum is closely in line with the ability needs of commanders in future joint operations, teach what is needed in war, and make up what is lacking in post performance ability." The change of curriculum reflects the change of vision and thinking. We are pleased to see that this year, all military colleges and universities generally carried out teaching reform and mechanism reengineering, which made the weather vane of war education clearer. The Army Academy of special operations and the 74th Group Army established a normalized mutual assistance mechanism, invited excellent grass-roots commanders and professional training vanguards into the classroom, assessed the students, and stood behind strange army examiners; The Nanjing campus of the Air Defense Academy of the Army Artillery Corps organized students to go deep into the exhibition teaching of the 72nd group army, set the classroom at the front line of performance and training, and let the battalion commander "guest" teach teachers; A brigade of the Army Aviation Academy established a dual route group training mode to maximize flight efficiency and train students' flight and command ability; The air force early warning Institute explores and promotes the online and offline Hybrid Teaching of main courses, increases the students' practical training hours, and focuses on promoting the transformation and upgrading of education and training On July 19, the Naval Engineering University held a graduation ceremony. In the loud military song, the first batch of students were sent away by 11 new majors of the school. With a new perspective, they rushed to the thousands of miles of the sea. Ding Yongwei has been very busy recently: in the past week, he has completed one course assessment, two team discussions and one scenario assignment. That night, he had a dream: the tanks of the army, the fighters of the air force and the "Dongfeng express" of the rocket army. At the same time, he rode the warships of the Navy and sailed to the open sea. Changes in the circle of friends The encounter between colleges and universities and troops is a two-way rush Time is silent, there are always some encounters, which make people palpitate. In April 2021, 2950 kilometers west from Nanjing to Lhasa. The group of experts and professors from the Army Engineering University, together with several army experts, re examined 9 postgraduate candidates from the Tibetan border defense forces. This is a "meeting" about knowledge, talents and the future. Candidates said that if they want to return to campus, they just want to "recharge" again, go to colleges with problems and return to the plateau with results. To this end, the Army University of Engineering launched the "academy army" dual tutorial system, established an order based training mode, and customized training programs for students. "Charging" can be used as a hot word in this year's military academy. When students and teachers are looking for "charging", the circle of friends of military academy people is expanding. More than 40 political theory teachers, professional course teachers and political cadres of Naval Aviation University have successively entered Peking University to participate in political theory teaching and training courses; The Department of plateau military medicine of the Army Military Medical University set up a research team to go to the snowy plateau to accurately focus on the training of officers and soldiers on the plateau and carry out scientific research; More than 180 teachers from the aviation maintenance Noncommissioned Officer School of Air Force Engineering University went deep into the grass-roots units to practice flying and study in the front line of training
