"If I don't come here to be a soldier, the border line of the motherland in my mind may always be the line on the map." Fei Yesheng, a college student soldier from the border defense company of Tuanse Township, a border defense unit in the Shannan Military Sub district of Xizang, looked at the mountains in the distance and said to the reporter, "Now, really standing here, I understand the profound meaning of 'the territory of the motherland cannot be reduced by an inch'." Fei Yesheng, who studied in Tsinghua University, chose to join the army in his freshman year and went all the way from Beijing to Xizang. Like Fei Yesheng, college student soldiers Kang Houhong, Chen Hongyu and others are from well-known colleges and universities, and they also started their military career in a border defense regiment in Shannan Military Subarea of Xizang. Different youth with the same colors, different experiences with the same dreams. Walking towards their dreams, they were filled with longing and anticipation, ushering in a brand new beginning. In the eyes of many people, we are students from prestigious schools with a remarkable past. But the highlight moments in the past were not just halos, but also heavy responsibilities. A notice of enlistment has taken me to a new altitude and also elevated me to a new height in life Kang Houhong sighed with emotion. "The life here has painted a vivid and colorful mark on my life. With the arrival of the border defense, life has since taken on a deeper meaning." A year ago, Chen Hongyu, who successfully obtained a master's degree, decided to serve in the military camp first. He was fortunate enough to seize this opportunity to defend the border of his country and hoped to leave his footprints here. Today, let's learn about their border defense stories together and appreciate the courage and strength behind this joint effort. The patrol officers and soldiers marched towards the designated location. When the group training cadres asked who was willing to take the initiative to serve in Xizang's border defense, Fei Yesheng was the first to stand up. The military dream of "one horse every ten miles, one whip every five miles" has been buried in Fei Yesheng's heart for a long time. When youth encounters the border, he chooses to pursue his dreams without hesitation. Flying planes, trains, cars... all the way around, Fei Yesheng was both nervous and excited. In his heavy luggage, there are concerns and instructions from his parents, praise and blessings from his classmates and teachers, as well as his sincerity and responsibility. My classmates once said that Fei Yesheng has a natural military temperament, and during his freshman military training, he was awarded the title of "Outstanding Individual". However, Fei Yesheng, who had always had good physical fitness in the past, encountered a "roadblock" in the training of new recruits in the army: he just passed the 3-kilometer assessment, which was far from what was expected; Hand grenades can't be dropped far, horizontal bars can't be pulled much, falling behind many soldiers of the same year... "Military uniforms are not easy to put on, and you have to live up to this mission and responsibility." With sandbags tied to your legs, Fei Yesheng trains on the playground whenever he has time, achieving his training "small goals" every night before going to bed. Three months later, he made it to the "Dragon and Tiger List" of the new recruits with excellent results. Last June, Fei Ye defeated the company and was appointed as a reconnaissance soldier. The complex geographical environment and ever-changing natural climate are the first challenges that high-altitude reconnaissance troops must overcome. On a plateau with an altitude of over 4000 meters, the weather is unpredictable, sometimes with sudden heavy rain and temperatures ranging from warm to cold. During a professional course training, Fei Yesheng and his comrades encountered the merciless baptism of nature. The whole team advanced to a lake and was preparing to arm themselves for swimming when a sudden rain hit. The commander ordered a quick crossing of the river, and Fei Yesheng was the first to enter the water. With good water resistance, he swam forward with all his might. The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the water surface gradually rose. The distant mountains were submerged in mist. Cold rain patted his face, and Fei Yesheng struggled against the resistance of the water flow for 30 minutes before finally reaching the opposite bank. Suddenly, after the rain, it cleared up and the sun appeared. "The heavens are all doing beautiful things, rewarding me for crossing the river smoothly." Fei Yesheng grinned and quickly changed into dry clothes, moving forward with his comrades towards the next task point. After a training trip, covering a distance of over 20 kilometers and carrying dozens of pounds of equipment, my comrades exclaimed, "I have shed a layer of skin.". However, an indescribable pleasure rose in Ke Fei Ye Sheng's heart: "That was my first formal participation in a professional training task, and I experienced unprecedented challenges, which strengthened my belief in moving forward bravely." When youth integrated into the mission, my footsteps would be more stable and faster. Fei Yesheng cherishes every opportunity to train and always strives tirelessly. For him, going to the outpost, climbing snow slopes, and traversing dense forests, every time he crosses mountains and rivers, is a transformation and growth. At the beginning of this year, in the mass training organized by the platoon, Fei Yesheng won the first place in the horizontal bar pull-up course with outstanding results compared to Wuzhong. Chen Hongyu gazed at the distant mountains. Struggling growth and sweet dreams. At the end of last year, Kang Houhong, who was also studying at Tsinghua University, joined the border defense regiment where Fei Yesheng was stationed and was assigned to another company. Kang Houhong hesitated to join the army after interrupting his studies until Zhang Meihan, the senior, returned from Xizang's military camp and saw the reluctance in his voice and tears in his eyes when he recalled his military life. He finally decided to realize the dream that had haunted him for many years: to become a soldier and to exercise himself in the hardest place! To his surprise, he arrived at the border defense as he had hoped, and his border defense company had been awarded the honorary title of "Model Company for Defending the Country and Garrisoning the Border". "Becoming a soldier in a model company means taking the initiative to put more pressure on oneself." He solemnly promised to bring glory to the company towards the distant mountains. The promise of life must be measured with the footsteps of struggle. In March of this year, Kang Houhong wrote an application for going to the post. Due to outstanding performance in various aspects, he became the first soldier of the same year to climb to the post for duty. Under the stars, above the mountains. The lights of the watchtower are like a star among the stars, guarding the magnificent mountains and rivers of our motherland. After reaching the outpost at an altitude of over 4000 meters, Kang Houhong truly realized that the burden on his shoulders was related to the lights of countless families behind him, and the battlefield under his feet was connected to the vast rivers and mountains of his motherland, giving him an indescribable sense of mission. Those who do it often succeed, and those who do it often come. The road is paved, the career is paved. No matter what thorns lie ahead, I will cross them Kang Houhong redesigned his training plan to overcome altitude sickness with a strong physique; Carrying a notebook in his pocket, whenever he encountered any questions he didn't understand, he sought advice from the old class leaders; It was late at night, and he was still burning the lamp repeatedly memorizing relevant point information... Finally, he passed all the assessments with excellent results, stood at the sentry post with a steel gun, and welcomed his first observation duty mission in life. Although he was already familiar with the location information in front of him and had mastered various methods of observing and identifying targets, whether he was nervous or excited, he still heard his huge heartbeat. The sun rose before his eyes, and the sacred sense of mission of "one minute on duty and sixty seconds of vigilance" surged in Kang Houhong's chest. He thought to himself, "If there is an opportunity, I must tell my classmates about this struggle and growth." Defending the border is difficult, and the task of duty is also arduous. Kang Houhong has experienced wind, frost, rain, and snow at the outpost. But he always guards the days on the edge as a "little lucky" in life: "I saw the most beautiful starry sky here, saw the stubborn growth of azaleas, smelled the fragrance of rain and snow, and also met unforgettable comrades for a lifetime..." "Someone asked me how hard it is here? But I want to tell everyone that the taste of pursuing dreams is sweet." Recently, Kang Houhong specially made a video connection with his classmates far away on campus to share with everyone the details of life here. "Every duty and training are the happy moments of my journey of pursuing dreams." I think that several years have been a happy time on my journey of pursuing dreams. "" Afterwards, whenever I recall my perseverance and dedication in this land, my heart will be filled with fulfillment and sweetness. "Fei Yesheng conducted national defense education at Sexiang Elementary School. "The relay of youth, the transmission of dreams" On the shady roads of the campus, conscription slogans can be seen everywhere; the passionate teaching of military theory classes by teachers makes me yearn for military life... Thanks to the strong atmosphere of national defense education in the school, Fei Yesheng had more courage to realize his dreams. Now, he is also transmitting this power. Not long ago, Fei Yesheng came to the nearby Sexiang Elementary School to popularize national defense knowledge and share his insights on border defense with the students. "Is guarding the border bitter or tiring?" "How can I become a border soldier?"... A pair of curious eyes turned towards Fei Yesheng. The story of the border was endless, and his communication and sharing with the children did not end until evening. "In the future, I hope that your presence and footsteps will also be on the border defense lines of our motherland." The conversation between the post-00s and post-10s ended with the encouragement and encouragement of Fei Yesheng. The innocent gaze and sincere emotions of the children left Fei Yesheng's mood unsettled for a long time. He was determined to have the opportunity to tell more stories about the border to more people in the future, igniting more dreams and desires. The relay of youth never stops, and the transmission of dreams continues. Chen Hongyu, a college student soldier from a certain border defense company in the border defense regiment, relied on hard work before enlisting and lost nearly 30 pounds through running and exercise within two months. Finally, he passed the medical examination as he wished and came to the border defense. At the beginning of the year, my younger brother Tang Chenyao called to ask him for advice on clearing the "secret script". Tang Chenyao, who had always wanted to join the military, also missed the military camp several times due to being overweight. Based on his accumulated experience in the military, Chen Hongyu specially formulated a physical training plan for his junior, instructing him to persist in exercising and enhancing his physical fitness. A few months later, Tang Chenyao successfully achieved his weight loss goal, and Chen Hongyu encouraged him to continue to sign up for the military. The two of them made plans to achieve their dreams together in the military camp. Tang Chenyao's changes also inspired Chen Hongyu. He wanted to tell more of his struggle stories to his classmates who wanted to join the military camp, encouraging them to bravely pursue their dreams. Not long ago, he started writing a letter and sent it back to the campus: "It was my first time participating in a patrol mission, and it was snowing heavily. As I stepped down, the snow covered my knees. Coupled with the steep terrain of the mountain, the difficulty of the mission increased significantly. The platoon leader led the way at the front of the team, and I followed behind in the difficult steps. When I reached the checkpoint, gasping for breath, all the hard work I had done all the way dissipated in an instant, and a warm emotion emanated in my heart. Behind me was my motherland, and now I have become a border guard who can open my arms to protect billions of people..." From the urban campus to the snowy border, Chen Hongyu expressed his inner red heart to the fullest. Sincerity, warmth, and at the end of the letter, Sending out a heartfelt call from a border soldier: "... I used to see my classmates who had served in the military but still had straight backs and walked briskly after retiring, and I knew how profound the impact of joining the military was on people. Now that I have come to the border, I understand even more that this experience of struggle will be a lifelong treasure. If there is also a flame in my classmates' hearts about the dream of military camps, let it burn with passion!" (Li Xinshe) Kang Houhong and his comrades stood guard at the outpost.
