In July on the plateau, the sky is high and the air is refreshing. On the national highway, several buses heading towards the airport drove slowly. Dozens of officers and soldiers from a certain brigade of the Western Theater Command Army were sitting in their cars holding flowers, their faces full of excitement. They are heading to the airport to meet their relatives. Recently, in order to complete the training mission, many officers and soldiers ended their vacation early or postponed their vacation plans, and their families provided understanding and support. Holding the 'Military Family Entering the Camp' activity is not only beneficial for adjusting the physical and mental health of officers and soldiers, but also for promoting harmonious family relationships The leaders of the Army Political Work Department of the Western Theater Command introduced that they organized the "Military Family Entering the Camp" activity in three batches based on seven "Military Post Stations", with each batch lasting one week. The plan was issued and warmly welcomed by the officers and soldiers. Soon, batches of officers and soldiers from the high-altitude troops entered the "military post stations" distributed in various places, and their families also set off from all over the country, embarking on the road of "reunion". The distant place you are heading to is the harbor I want to reach. "Because both his father and grandfather have been soldiers, Han Xinyu has had a deep affection for soldiers since childhood. Later, Han Xinyu married Second Class Sergeant Jiang Yanan and became a military sister-in-law. After her husband went to the plateau for training with the army, due to communication difficulties, she did not have many opportunities to contact Jiang Yanan. She understands her husband and also looks forward to meeting him soon. After receiving the news of participating in the "Military Family Entering the Camp" activity, Han Xinyu was very happy and started preparing in advance. On the day of arriving at the "Xichang Station" located on the banks of the Yi Sea, Jiang Yanan had already been waiting there, holding a bouquet of flowers. Taking the bouquet, Han Xinyu's eyes curved into crescent shaped smiles. On the way to the post station, looking at her husband's dark skin, she couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken: "The UV rays in the plateau are strong, remember to use the sunscreen I sent. Be careful during regular training..." Faced with her wife's concern, Jiang Yanan's heart was filled with warmth. Arriving at the post station, there was a poster standing in front of the door, with words such as "Having saved enough memories, let's meet" and "Salute with your right hand, hold you with your left hand". Warm words, like a gentle breeze, gently caress Han Xinyu's heart. Under the sunset, the two took a photo in front of the poster. That night, the military wives who participated in the event arrived one after another. The opening ceremony began accordingly. Under the bright moonlight, a bonfire party created a particularly warm atmosphere. Han Xinyu snuggled tightly to her husband and clapped her hands gently to the rhythm of the music. Writing down the words you want to say to your loved ones on the "Heart Language Wall" is one of the activity segments. After pondering for a moment, Han Xinyu wrote seriously, "The distant place you are heading to is the harbor I want to reach." Seeing his wife's happy smile, Jiang Yanan's heart was filled with sweetness. The Xichang Station is adjacent to the Qionghai Lake, with lush mountains and clear waters, clear skies, and seagulls flying and fish leaping. Following the team entering the scenic area, Private Wang Lei and his wife Zheng Yuanyuan walked and watched. They are high school classmates. Shortly after their wedding, Wang Lei went to the plateau to carry out training missions. Zheng Yuanyuan has wanted to visit relatives many times, but Wang Lei has blocked her: the military has regulations that prohibit random visits, and the training tasks are heavy. Even if she comes, she doesn't have time to accompany her. This "Military Family Entering the Camp" activity has made Zheng Yuanyuan very happy - in addition to being able to reunite in advance, she can also see her husband's usual training and living environment. Besides visiting the scenic spots, Wang Lei introduced Zheng Yuanyuan to his training life in the army and shared the progress he had made in recent times, with a happy smile on his face. How can genuine love be hidden? Military sister-in-law Ma Youyang stood next to her husband, First Class Sergeant Mao Jianhua, staring at his slightly sparse hair and said with heartache, "I'll send you black sesame powder when I go back, and you should also pay attention to it yourself..." That summer, Ma Youyang took his daughter who had just learned to call her "dad" and drove from her hometown thousands of kilometers away to the headquarters of her husband's army. After staying at the guesthouse for less than a week, Mao Jianhua, as a professional backbone of the unit, went to the plateau due to mission requirements. After arriving at the training site, Mao Jianhua dialed his wife's phone number. Ma Youyang did not blame him, but instead kept coaxing his daughter to call him 'dad'. A few days later, Mao Jianhua entrusted his remaining comrades to deliver the mother and daughter to the station. Sitting on the train back home, after talking to her husband, Ma Youyang's tears flowed down... Now, their daughter has started elementary school. This "Military Family Entering the Camp" activity has reunited the family of three and made Ma Youyang feel gratified and proud. You guard your country, I guard my home, "said Dong Buyang, a military officer in a certain brigade. Unexpectedly, this sweet and warm gathering began with a complaint from his wife Li Xinyu. At the beginning of the year, Dong Buyang went home from vacation and got married to his girlfriend Li Xinyu, whom he had been in love with for many years. After that, he hurriedly returned to the team. He promised his wife to take her on a trip during the summer vacation. As May approaches, Dong Buyang's unit will go to the plateau to participate in training activities. As the team leader, he must participate throughout the entire process, and his vacation plan can only be postponed. Her husband's inability to come back shattered Li Xinyu's longing in her heart. In the following months, Dong Buyang's intermittent contact made her feel even more uneasy. She came to participate in the event this time just to ask Dong Buyang for an explanation. At the station, facing her husband who came to pick him up with flowers in his hand, Li Xinyu pounded his chest and said, "You're the only one busy!" After that, she stuffed her luggage all at once and got on the train straight away. Dong Buyang awkwardly smiled at his comrades beside him and said, "Haha, we're having a disagreement." However, what Li Xinyu didn't expect was that her "resentment" was soon resolved. The opening ceremony was lively and warm, and then she and other military wives experienced daily routines such as morning exercises and late registration. Watching her husband's upright posture, resolute gaze, and decisive and meticulous handling of situations while on duty, Li Xinyu gained a new understanding of her husband. At the specially arranged national defense education class, when Li Xinyu saw the training video of her husband and comrades, she was deeply moved: "I didn't expect you to work so hard on the plateau..." After the long accumulated disappointment and loss dissipated, Li Xinyu's heart was only filled with understanding and pain for her husband. Inside the Travel History Museum, pictures, objects, and battle flags silently tell the story of a unit's struggle from scratch and from weakness to strength. Accompanied by the commentator's explanation, the military dependents seemed to have returned to that era of war and turmoil. "I have always heard you speak about the 'old Xizang spirit'. I have only half understood it, and today I understand what it means to be a soldier's dedication and sacrifice." Li Xinyu looked at her husband with respect in his eyes. To welcome the arrival of their loved ones, the officers and soldiers conducted a demonstration queue. Wearing military caps, tying belts... Their upright posture and uniform movements won rounds of applause. The sunlight shone on their chest badges, shimmering with golden light. On the evening before Li Xinyu's return, the couple took a walk on the road to the "station". A mutual rush of heart to heart requires a temporary end, every minute is so precious. The sunset painted a golden border on the clouds and left another touch of warmth in their hearts. On the day of departure, reluctant love filled the waiting hall. Listen carefully, those reminders are intertwined and combined into one sentence: "You guard your country, I guard my home." "Rooting in a desolate place is because of the power of love." Located deep in the Gobi Desert, the "Hami Post Station" has many representative geographical landscapes nearby, such as vast deserts and distinctive Yadan landforms. When high-altitude officers and soldiers and their relatives arrived here, they were immediately attracted by the vastness and magnificence of nature. They shuttle through the uniquely shaped Yadan stone cluster, stroll in the sandy sea under the sunset glow, and also discuss the changes that have taken place in the camp. Before bringing her 2-year-old child to Hami, the wife of Second Class Sergeant Li Zhou, Ji Xuelian, felt uneasy and worried about many inconveniences. But after finishing her first meal in Hami, the attentive service of the troops made her feel relieved - the post station specially prepared children's meals. Not only that, the catering arrangements for military dependents are very well planned, and the travel arrangements are also very thoughtful. Here, she also gained a lot of parenting experience from military wives. Strolling through the campsite, rows of lush trees surprised Ji Xuelian. A few years ago, when I first came here, the camp was still bare. In recent years, officers and soldiers have worked together to transplant hundreds of poplar trees to the camp. Every year when new recruits leave the company, they also plant their own 'rooting tree'. As spring fades and autumn arrives, under the careful care of the officers and soldiers, the branches of the poplar trees grow lush, and the former recruits gradually grow into the backbone of the squad leader. The tree in front of the platoon gate was planted by Li Zhou himself. This poplar tree rooted in the Gobi Desert has experienced wind and rain for several years, yet it remains resilient, tenacious, and thriving. Li Zhou himself is like this tree, constantly growing upwards. Rooting in desolate places is because of the power of love Sergeant Jiang Shaosen, who participated in the "Military Family Entering the Camp" activity with his father, told reporters. In the year of graduating from high school, Jiang Shaosen bid farewell to his family and embarked on a westward train. His father, who had served in the western border defense, said this sentence before he left, and from then on, Jiang Shaosen remembered it in his heart. It's been many years since we parted ways. When Jiang Shaosen learned of the opportunity to participate in the "Military Family Entering the Camp" activity, his first reaction was to let his father, who was once a border soldier, take another look at the land he had guarded. At this moment, looking at his father waving at him and his smiling face in the crowd, Jiang Shaosen felt like he had tasted the taste of realizing his dream. Arriving at the training ground of a certain brigade, the soldiers of the assassination squad were full of fighting spirit, and the performance of the capture knife was neat and uniform, which made the military families applaud repeatedly. Seeing this scene, Zhu Shu, the wife of a certain instructor named Qian Yiye, sighed and said, "I want to be his strong support while also fulfilling my duties." Qian Yiye and his wife are both soldiers, but they are far apart from each other, one in the northwest Gobi Desert and the other in the southwest hinterland. In March last year, the two obtained their marriage certificates and were planning to prepare for their wedding when Qian Yiya's unit received orders from superiors to go to the plateau to carry out training missions. As the captain of the company, Qian was also ordered to go on the expedition, so the wedding had to be postponed. Regarding this, Zhu Shu, who is also a soldier, understands very well: "Completing the task is the first priority. I will wait for you to return safely." During the training period, Qian Yiran led the officers and soldiers to complete multiple urgent, difficult, dangerous and heavy tasks, and even led the team to win the first place in the training competition organized by the higher authorities. As soon as the commendation ceremony ended, Qian Yi immediately reported the good news to Zhu Shu. At the moment the video call was connected, before he could speak, Zhu Shu's eyes turned red on the other end of the phone and she said, "You've lost weight." After a long period of high-intensity training and intense high-altitude ultraviolet radiation, Qian's face was dark and thin. Heartache is heartache, but faith remains unchanged. Nowadays, the couple still encourage each other on the phone as usual. Zhu Shu told reporters, "Guarding peace with our comrades is our proudest promise." As night fell, the evening breeze blew, and the leaves rustled in the "relay station". The plateau officers and soldiers and their relatives have endless words to say, while the children are happily playing and laughing... The leader of the Political Work Department of the Western Theater Command Army told reporters, "So far, more than 500 officers and soldiers and their relatives have participated in this activity." The "Military Family Entering the Camp" activity organized by the Western Theater Command Army warms the hearts of officers and soldiers. (New Society)
