Thank you for being with you in your youth - reading from the correspondence between Dai Ping, the platoon leader of a certain Red Army Company in Xinjiang Military Region, and the female soldiers - Dai Ping (middle) and the female soldiers are sitting together for theoretical learning. On the eve of the graduation season, Dai Ping, the platoon leader of a Red Army Company in the Xinjiang Military Region, received a letter from thousands of miles away. In the letter, Zhou Yumei, a student from the Army Medical University, confided in the old platoon leader Dai Ping about the pressure and longing for her upcoming position as a military commander. After serving as the platoon leader for over three years, Dai Pinglu received 18 similar letters one after another. Without exception, the sender was all the female soldiers she had brought before. Among them, there were gratitude written by retired female soldiers as they bid farewell, "seeking help" from military academy students facing employment difficulties, and confidences from female soldiers around them... All of these stem from their unrequited years of holding onto the western border of their motherland and striving side by side. Today, let's listen to the stories of Dai Ping and several female soldiers, and look back on those unforgettable and touching moments together. Becoming a beam of light illuminating soldiers. Dai Ping, the platoon leader of a certain Red Army Company in the Xinjiang Military Region, was on a mission outside more than a month ago. During the evening break, I received a video call from Zhou Yumei, who was participating in on-the-job training at the Army Medical University. She is a soldier I once led, and now she calls me "sister". In the video, Zhou Yumei smiled and reported to me about her recent life and studies: what new courses she had trained, what books she had read, and what delicious food she had eaten... Before hanging up on the video, Zhou Yumei's curved eyebrows and eyes showed a hint of shyness: "Sister, I wrote you a letter and went back to see if I received it." Zhou Yumei, who joined the military in March 2021. At that time, after graduating from university, she had already been admitted as a civil servant in her hometown, but she still chose to join the military and come to Xinjiang. Last year, she was promoted to study at the Army Medical University. After the task was completed, I returned to the unit and opened Zhou Yumei's letter, where familiar handwriting caught my eye. In the letter, Zhou Yumei, who had to complete the "three level jump" of soldiers, trainees, and platoon leaders in two years, felt a bit uneasy about how to become a qualified military leader. Sincere exchange for true feelings. This was taught to me by my platoon leader back then, and now I am giving this sentence to you. You must believe that as long as you treat the soldiers with love and heart, there will be no bad soldiers. "I sent a WeChat to Zhou Yumei. Putting down my phone, I couldn't help but think of myself three years ago. At that time, as I was about to move to the grassroots after graduating from the military academy, I wrote a sentence in my notebook - "I have felt the warmth of the sun, and I also want to become a beam of light that illuminates others." This sentence is not only my military motto, but also a reflection of my growth after entering the military. After graduating from high school in 2014, I cut my long hair and put on my military uniform, and came to a Red Army Division in Xinjiang Military Region to become a Signaller. Coming from the white mountains and black waters to the western border of our country, the arduous physical training is of great importance to me as a sports expert. But the unfamiliar environment, strict discipline, and dense professional points still make me very uncomfortable. Platoon leader Yang Nan shares a dormitory with us. After turning off the lights at night, it's time for us to have a "chat" with her. The patient guidance of the platoon leader always opens our hearts. Especially for me, who has a lively personality, I wish I could always express my true feelings. However, during training
