Before being discharged from the military, a senior soldier was rated as a "Training Star". Li Jiahao, a special reporter of the People's Liberation Army Daily, and Zhang Xun, a correspondent, saw a section of the uphill road called "Hero Slope" by the officers and soldiers. Behind him were his fellow soldiers shouting loudly to cheer... As he neared his retirement, a certain brigade and company of the 77th Group Army organized a 5-kilometer cross country competition in military attire. Private Bao Haiqing accelerated and ran forward. Half way through, he had already rushed to the "first tier" of the team. When he was a new recruit, Bao Haiqing had poor physical fitness and often crossed the finish line by stepping on the qualified line. For the first time participating in armed five kilometer training, not long after rushing up the "Hero Slope", he felt like his chest was pressed against a stone and his legs were filled with lead. Class monitor, I really can't run anymore... "Bao Haiqing gasped heavily and slowed down his pace. Upon seeing this, his monitor Zhao Jia did not force him either, but helped him slowly towards the finish line. Do you know why this section of slope is called 'Hero Slope'? It's long and steep, and if you rush over it, you'll find a smooth path. "Zhao Jia said as he walked," Young people can endure more hardships and experience more wrestling to cultivate a resilient and tenacious will and grow into a true hero. "In subsequent training, Bao Haiqing couldn't remember how many times he rushed up this section of 'Hero Slope', panting from the beginning, Later on, he became proficient... his military physical fitness level continued to improve. However, in this well trained company, although Bao Haiqing conquered the "Hero Slope", he still struggled to reach the forefront. Every Sunday evening at roll call, watching his comrades receiving the "Training Star" mobile red flag in applause, he made a secret decision: "One day, I will fight for the mobile red flag!" The company gathered experts, and Bao Haiqing achieved the best result, ranking 7th in the professional course competition. However, he missed out on the "Training Star". Class monitor Zhao Jia encouraged him and said, "I remember when you first got off the company, you couldn't even run five kilometers with armed weapons. It's great to be able to secure a place now. In the hearts of our class comrades, you are also a hero." The class monitor's words restored Bao Haiqing's confidence. From then on, Bao Haiqing trained even harder. Ranked 6th in the horizontal bar practice competition, 5th in the weapon decomposition and combination competition, and 4th in the rifle accuracy shooting score... As time went by with sweat, Bao Haiqing kept charging towards his "hero slope" in his heart, and the day he retired was getting closer and closer. Class monitor, I will be leaving the army in a while. You are also aware of my parents' physical condition, and I have to go back and support this family. "At the last class meeting, Bao Haiqing's eyes were filled with tears. When asked if he had any regrets, he bitterly said, "To say it's a pity, it's just not being able to retrieve the 'Training Star' mobile red flag." Bao Haiqing's wish moved Zhao Jia very much. The last time the company organized an armed 5-kilometer small competition, Zhao Jia called his fellow soldiers to his side and said, "I led the race in the first kilometer and brought the rhythm; in the last kilometer, let's cheer on Bao Haiqing together!" That day, amidst the cheers of his comrades, Bao Haiqing rushed over the finish line. Third place. "The timekeeper exclaimed," 19 minutes and 24 seconds, personal best! "Before leaving the team, Bao Haiqing delayed the final roll and took over the coveted" training star "Liu from the company commander
