In our area, the difficulty of serving in the military is comparable to that of taking the civil service exam. Currently, the summer and autumn conscription work is being carried out intensively. Wu Liyuan, the Minister of the Armed Forces Department of Yushan Town, Linshu County, is very proud of the famous golden signboard of "Linshu Soldiers". "Villagers may not be able to say who has a college student, but everyone knows whose child has become a soldier." Joining the military in Linshu County, Linyi City, Shandong Province is a big event. The conscription work in Linshu has always been a "top leader" project. It is customary for the county party secretary to attend important meetings such as the county conscription work conference, pre service training mobilization conference, collective conscription meeting, and new recruit farewell party. During the revolutionary war era, Linshu was known as the "Little Yan'an" of Shandong. The older generation of revolutionaries such as Liu Shaoqi and Chen Yi fought and lived here. The people of Linshu enthusiastically joined the army and supported the front line, with touching scenes of "the last piece of cloth for military uniforms, the last bowl of rice for military rations, and the last son sent to the battlefield" everywhere. At the beginning of the restoration of the county in 1961, Zhao Lixiu, the first county party secretary of Linshu, said, "Selecting outstanding children to join the army and serve the country is a glorious tradition of the Linshu people, which is related to national security and our sacred mission." For more than 60 years, this sense of sacred mission has been passed down from generation to generation, and more than 20000 young people have been sent to join the army in Linshu County, which has a permanent population of 600000. After 63 years of sending troops, not a single soldier in Linshu County was returned due to disqualification. The soldiers who walked out of Linshu competed to become training elites and all wanted to contribute to the military camp, forming the brand effect of "good soldiers in Linshu". According to statistics, more than 65% of the "Linshu soldiers" were selected as non commissioned officers, more than 1800 people were awarded for their merits, and more than 1600 people grew up to become officers. In recent years, with the opening of the conscription season registration channel, the number of people registering and applying for military service in Linshu County often exceeds 1000 in a single day. After the start of the summer and autumn conscription this year, Li Yi, a staff officer of the Military Science Department of the People's Armed Forces Department in Linshu County, was even busier than usual. Every week, he downloaded the information of the registered personnel and compared it with last year's database. Linshu is a revolutionary old area with a strong atmosphere of martial arts and military service. Young people are enthusiastic about joining the army, and Li Yi often sees "acquaintances" on the registration list. A young person of appropriate age started applying for military uniforms after graduating from high school and applied for four consecutive years until graduating from university. Among the applicants in the second half of 2023, there is a young man who enlisted in 2019 and returned after serving for two years. After completing university, he signed up for a "second enlistment" and voluntarily applied to serve in the Xinjiang border defense. In 2019, Li Yi returned to Linshu County after transferring from the military. When he first participated in the conscription work, his former section chief told him that conscription work was the "golden signboard" of Linshu. As a staff officer of the People's Armed Forces Department, he must do the work meticulously and rigorously, "seeing it a thousand times is better than going through it with his hands". The People's Armed Forces Department of Linshu County keeps piles of rolled up notebooks, which manually record the physical examination, political assessment, and pre service training of hundreds of young applicants every year. During the conscription process, Li Yi will have a detailed understanding of the professional strengths of the young recruits, such as some having chef or auto repair certificates, and some being skilled in martial arts. He will carefully compile all the information of the applicants into a table, making it easy to accurately and quickly find the most suitable talents for the army's needs from among the applicants. There are no universities in Linshu County. In order to reserve high-quality soldiers, the County People's Armed Forces Department began to establish national defense reserve classes and national defense education demonstration schools based on local vocational schools and senior high schools in the 1980s. Nearly 200 national defense reserve students are selected each year to organize adaptive training, allowing outstanding young people to enter the recruitment field in advance. More than 8500 young students have participated in the training at Linshu Vocational College alone, becoming an important source for recruiting high-quality soldiers. In 2015, the Recruitment Office of Linshu County developed the "Precision Recruitment Big Data Assistance System", which distinguishes the characteristics and requirements of different military branches and regions, and classifies and archives eligible youth. Tailored and accurately pushed recruitment information based on different targets every year, transforming the past "rough recruitment" into the current "precise selection". In the autumn of 2020, a certain unit stationed in Xinjiang recruited soldiers in Linshu and needed a college student majoring in civil engineering. The County People's Armed Forces Department, relying on big data, has targeted Wang Liangjie, a young man of appropriate age from Dayu Village, Shimen Town, who graduated with a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from the School of Disaster Prevention Technology. Zhang Lida, the Minister of the Armed Forces Department of Shimen Town, learned that Wang Liangjie's father passed away when he was young, and his mother remarried. He lived with his grandparents and completed his studies through the subsistence allowance and preferential policies for impoverished households. After graduation, he worked as a quality inspector at a construction company in the county town. Zhang Lida first arrived at Wang Liangjie's house and introduced the preferential policies for college students to enlist to Wang Liangjie's grandparents. Then he drove to the county town and found Wang Liangjie at the construction site. This high-quality soldier, who was "dug" from the construction site, later successfully entered the military camp and became an urgently needed talent for a certain unit stationed in Xinjiang. 20 years ago, when Wu Liyuan enlisted, his fellow villagers beat drums and gongs to send him to report to the People's Armed Forces Department of Linshu County. Now, as the Minister of the Armed Forces in Yushan Town, Linshu County, he has successfully achieved the transition from a "Linshu soldier" to a "Linshu recruiter". In the first few months of his tenure, Wu Liyuan traveled to 36 administrative villages and 71 natural villages in his jurisdiction, meeting with 79 village leaders and militia company commanders one by one. He quickly found out the personal wishes, physical condition, and family expectations of 1023 university students and 281 university graduates in the town. In 2021, Wu Liyuan went to his home on the 29th of December to introduce the enlistment policy in order to mobilize a college student in the town to join the army. Later, the college student voluntarily applied and successfully went to serve in a special operations brigade known as the "Sharp Knife Army". In 2011, when Yuan Haipeng, a student from Linshu, Qingdao University, was hesitating between taking the postgraduate entrance examination and joining the army, Wang Jinhua, then the Minister of the People's Armed Forces Department of Linshu County, made two special trips to Qingdao to meet with Yuan Haipeng and talk about the modern military's longing for mechanical and electrical professionals like him. Later, he came home to work for his parents. Wang Jinhua's true feelings of "visiting the thatched cottage three times to pursue good soldiers" moved Yuan Haipeng and also created a good story. Yuan Haipeng, who is now the head of the company, said, "Thanks to Minister Wang, I was able to strengthen my ambition to join the army." Secondly, "the 'backdoor soldiers' in Linshu cannot obtain a' pass'." Wu Liyuan said that the tradition of "burning personal notes" has always been passed down in Linshu County. At the Linshu County Military Work Conference held in November 2006, Wang Jinhua, the then Minister of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces, picked up a lighter and lit small pieces of paper with the words "trust relationships". After the conscription was completed, Wang Jinhua immediately went to the door one by one to explain the relevant policies and regulations of conscription to the old leaders and classmates, eliminating their misunderstandings. At an earlier conscription meeting in October 1986, Song Zhiyou, the leader of the county conscription leadership group, publicly burned the "notes" handed over by old superiors, comrades, and colleagues. Since then, burning strips has become an unwritten rule. Many years ago, the son of Li Yonggui, the Minister of the Armed Forces in Caozhuang Town, Linshu County, was eliminated during a physical examination due to elbow abduction. Li Yonggui spent his entire life as a soldier, but his own son couldn't become one. When others comforted him, his first words were, 'Who made us the ones in charge of conscription?'. Every year, some young applicants are eliminated due to failing the physical examination. Yang Huaqiang, the director of the Linshu County Physical Examination Center, has been responsible for the recruitment surgery physical examination task for more than 10 years. He has always fulfilled his duties, strictly controlled the quality, and has not encountered any responsibility problems in his handling. One year during the conscription physical examination, a young conscript caught his attention with a subtle shaking of his head. After careful examination, it was found that the young man had a surgical incision on his head, which could not be detected without careful examination. At first, the parties involved firmly refused to admit it, but with patient persuasion, the young man admitted to having undergone a brain injury surgery when he was 10 years old. According to the medical examination standards, this young man is not qualified. Unexpectedly, that evening, the family of the young applicant approached Yang Huaqiang and stated that he was the one who performed the surgery 10 years ago, and now they have removed the child, which they do not understand. Yang Huaqiang immediately checked the case from 10 years ago and confirmed that he was the one who performed the surgery on this young man. At that time, the surgery was very successful and the postoperative recovery effect was very ideal. Isn't it 'hitting oneself in the face' when a patient who has been cured by oneself gets stuck by oneself? Faced with repeated pleas from parents of eligible young people, Yang Huaqiang remained firm in his heart: "The standards for high-quality soldiers are not ordinary health standards, and must be strictly monitored." He tirelessly tried to persuade and explain, and ultimately gained the understanding of the family. Behind every 'good soldier in Linshu', there are 13 responsible persons from the county, including parents of young volunteers, village branch secretaries, presidents of town and street health centers, police station chiefs, town and street mayors, as well as the Health Bureau, Medical Security Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Education and Sports Bureau, People's Court, clean recruitment supervisors, and recruitment work leadership group, who endorse their actions. In 2021, Linshu County recruited 195 soldiers, but there were over 600 staff members involved in the recruitment process. Among them were organizers, policy promoters, frontline gatekeepers, and more importantly, recruitment supervisors. More than 400 rural cadres, teachers, enterprise leaders, and volunteers formed over 10 military support teams and were hired by the Ministry of People's Armed Forces as "honest recruitment supervisors". During the conscription season, "honest conscription supervisors" will wear their work permits and enter schools, rural areas, medical examination stations, and training grounds to promote and supervise, building a "firewall" for honest conscription. Yang Jun, a conscription supervisor and retired soldier, said, "It's easy to be a soldier in Linshu. As long as you're excellent, you don't have to spend a penny. It's also not easy to be a soldier in Linshu. If you want to 'use backdoors' or' rely on connections', the majority of supervisors will never agree!" There is a consensus among the military and civilian leaders of Linshu County: whoever smashes the label of irresponsible withdrawal will lose their job. After the 2020 conscription and conscription meeting in Linshu County, the Armed Forces Department of Jiaolong Town received a report from the public that Shen, a young conscript from Wujiahou Village in the town, was summoned by the Banzhuang Town Police Station in Donghai County, Jiangsu Province on suspicion of participating in a brawl. After receiving the report, the County People's Armed Forces Department immediately established a special team composed of military and civilian personnel and rushed to Donghai County, Jiangsu Province overnight to verify. After on-site verification and visits, it was found that Shen was suspected of participating in a brawl that caused serious injuries to the other party. The county's People's Armed Forces Department immediately cancelled the young man's enlistment qualification in accordance with political assessment regulations. Having been engaged in grassroots conscription work for many years, Liu Rengang, the Minister of the Armed Forces Department of Jiaolong Town, has developed a "heart of stone". During the summer and autumn conscription in 2019, Liu Rengang's third aunt's son and his cousin were selected as "double qualified" reserve soldiers after initial examination, re examination, and political assessment. When participating in pre service education and training, my cousin volunteered to participate in the selection of Marine Corps soldiers. When undergoing a physical examination again, it was found that the number of liver calcification points had increased from 3 in the previous examination to 4. According to the physical examination standards, more than 3 points are considered unqualified. The sudden change was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the joy of Aunt Liu's family. Aunt Liu Rengang was unwilling to accept this result and called him to find a way to do work. Knowing the high standards and strict requirements of conscription in Linshu, Liu Rengang decisively refused Aunt San's request in the face of family ties. Later, Liu Rengang used the weekend to buy things and made a special trip to Aunt San's house to explain things face-to-face, ultimately gaining her understanding. Liu Rengang is impartial towards relatives who fail the physical examination, while he is thirsty for high-quality soldiers who meet the requirements. During a conscription, Liu Rengang learned during a visit that there was a college freshman named Xiao Zhang who came from a very difficult family and excelled in the college entrance examination
