Xiao Zheng

Xiao Zheng's original name was omitted. She was from Ya 'an, Sichuan Province. That was a beautiful city. Ya' an had three beauties-Ya 'an Girl (Of course, she was pretty. Otherwise, Liu Xiaoqing, who was in her fifties, would only look like she was in her early thirties if she played a role in "281 Letters." However, she was only a representative of Sichuan beauties and was not from Ya' an). It was said that the rain in Ya 'an was very similar to the weather in London. This analogy might not be appropriate because Londoners loved to bring umbrellas when they went out. Because there was too much rain, they had to be prepared often, and Ya' an was no exception. Elegant Fish is also the best in Ya 'an. I heard that I haven't seen any related reports. Maybe Hu XX (or Jiang XX, or other leaders of other countries, they order this elegant fish when they go to Ya' an in Sichuan) is very pragmatic. Because elegant fish is cheap, but it tastes fresh and delicious. It's popular. Ya 'an people all like to eat it, but it's especially delicious. I've never been to Ya' an, so I think the taste can't be wrong.

He graduated from the police academy, and it was said that his driving skills were very good. No wonder he was assigned to the motorcycle class when he was in the veteran company. According to his hometown, Old Yuan, his family situation was very good, so he was very popular with women, even though we were not interested in his meat. He used to live with his girlfriend. I don't think it's a big deal in the 21st century. Many of us can accept it, but we lack relevant experience and are still skeptical. We must dare to doubt everything. It was the skeptical spirit of Mencius 'propaganda. His girlfriend got a letter to break our doubts. The words used in the letter were very intimate (maybe some comrades like to say that it was mushy, I think Hua Zai's "mushy love song" is just so-so). I would like to make it clear again that my comrade and I did not mean to peek at his letter, but we are really concerned about the information from the outside world. Therefore, many of my comrades 'letters were peeked at, provided that the person involved was present. In fact, writing letters and making phone calls were also fun in our spare time, especially when some people had reached a state of obsession. Talking on the phone seemed to have become a hobby for some people. Anyway, there was no annoying consumption in the army. I was very optimistic about the traditional long-distance communication method of writing letters. I used to be like a resentful woman or a devout pilgrim who sent letters to his relatives and friends. Or was it Little Zheng? He used to have an address book, and there were naturally many photos of his girlfriend in it. She wasn't very beautiful, but she was very good-looking. She was also the kind that people liked.

Every night, the recruits would do routine physical training-three hundred " one hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, and one hundred squats." In the shortest time possible, they could quickly improve their physical fitness. This was a headache for us. At this time, our recruit squad leader thought of a way to read Xiao Zheng's letter in front of us. He was really flustered, so he worked hard to train and didn't dare to be lazy anymore. We seemed to have found an unprecedented strength. This might be the best way for the recruits to get three hundred points in a row. Now that I think about it, this method is really inappropriate. It's very creative, but it really violates Xiao Zheng's privacy. I cry for Xiao Zheng! A soldier's love had to go through three steps: The heat from the moment they parted until the climax, the coldness after a long separation, rational thinking, or breaking up or being determined to be together forever.

Xiao Zheng's love had experienced many ups and downs. Before enlisting, they had already eaten the fruit of the Garden of Eden. In the first month after enlisting, they couldn't stand the pain of being separated and often complained about the depression in their hearts. At that time, we all had envious gazes. In the second month after enlisting, their love finally ran out of passion. I tried to comfort him and calm the pain in his heart. As the saying goes, the person who untied the bell needs the person who tied it. As time passed, he finally got out of the predicament of his heart. Later, when he returned to the construction team, he was assigned to the cable platoon. Due to his familiarity with cars, he was transferred to the mobile cable platoon. Later, he was really tired of the bitterness of the combat squad and took the initiative to apply for logistics support. He served the entire company in the kitchen until he was discharged.

Xiao Li

Let's talk about Xiao Li. I was originally very unwilling to mention him. Although he was my fellow countryman and trusted me wholeheartedly, I had never been proud of having such a fellow countryman. His character seemed to be a little unpredictable. When I wrote about him, my mood was extremely complicated. Perhaps I was to blame for thinking too much. Our first encounter was when we were assigned to the recruit company to play cards. Later on, we were finally assigned to the same class. Perhaps it was fate.

Our recruit squad leader doted on Little Li, and even indulged him a little. This might be one of the reasons why he went to ruin in the army in the end! Overindulging a person might never be a good thing for an immature person. This was the same principle as parents educating their children. Overindulgence would eventually lead to mistakes. I couldn't understand why Xiao Li was so addicted to smoking. Other than the class monitor, Xiao Zhao, he really regarded smoking as his life. Our class monitor seems to take smoking as his life. Other than his normal exercise, he seems to have been smoking all the time. He lights a cigarette in the morning, one before and after his morning exercise, and one before and after his meal. I think he might need to consume at least one pack of cigarettes all day long. This has a serious negative impact on Xiao Li, who has a poor resistance to temptation. The recruit squad leader wanted to help Xiao Li quit smoking. First, he asked Xiao Li to hand over all the cigarettes he had on him for safekeeping. Second, he confiscated all the cigarettes that Xiao Li might have brought. Then, he carried out stricter control measures on Xiao Li and let him strengthen his physical training. He did not expect this to be a temporary solution for Xiao Li, who had been tested for a long time.

The class monitor began to level up, using his last trump card--

The relationship between Squad Leader Nie and the deputy company commander was extraordinary. The company commander would give priority to his opinions. Xiao Li requested to be a wireless soldier and was really assigned to the wireless squad. This made me, a wireless soldier, very envious. Time was fickle, and an accident ruined his wish. On March 3rd, 2004, each company sent 10 students with high school education or above to the parade platform for the exam. Xiao Li and I, Xiao Zhao and Xiao Hei successfully passed the exam and were sent to study in other places. This was a very glorious thing. Xiao Li became the only student soldier in our regiment who was sent to Changchun to study. We were very envious. If he learned it, his future would be immeasurable. Repairing is a very popular profession in our regiment.

When Xiao Hei and I heard the news about him in Jinchang, we were shocked. He was sent back to the company. It wasn't until October 20th, 2004, when I returned from my studies that I found out everything. He told me that it was really easy to study in Changchun. The captain was also good to him. He was very self-indulgent, so one night, he and a few comrades (also soldiers) sneaked out to surf the Internet. Who would have thought that the army would find them very quickly. According to the rules, they should be given a few punishments, but the captain was lenient. Unfortunately, they didn't cherish it. When their captain punished them for standing guard, they slipped out again. This time, they weren't so lucky. The captain flew into a rage and reported the situation to his superiors. The entire army was notified and he was sent back to his old company in advance. Company Commander Duan went to receive him in advance, and because Xiao Li did not cherish this good thing, it ended up in a tragic ending. Every time he mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but regret it.

The following story was very ordinary. Xiao Li was detained for seven days and he carried the burden of punishment. The company once again handed him over to Squad Leader Nie for radio soldier training. Xiao Li's dream finally came true, but the price he had to pay was too heavy. He once again joined Squad Leader Nie's old squad. It wasn't that enemies didn't meet. His life was like a machine that repeated the same actions every day. The only difference was that he seemed to be more awesome than any of our fellow soldiers. Just as he said, one punishment was carried, two punishments were carried, and three punishments were pretended. Since all the officers and soldiers in the company knew his negative outlook on life, persuasion was ineffective. They tried to calm him down, but the effect was mediocre. Let him be. Just like that, he muddleheaded his way to the veterans 'retirement.

In fact, I always thought that Xiao Li was a talented person. Maybe he came to a place he shouldn't be in-the army, so he repeatedly raised the strongest protest to the army. In my observation, he is still very motivated. In the two speeches I wrote for him, I saw his good intentions. I was once touched by his persistence. Although he did not win any glory for the company, his hard work was obvious to everyone. The fire of his struggle was extinguished time and time again because he lacked too much encouragement. He needed this kind of support. This was also a confession that an immature youth needed deep down. Any empty preaching and sincerity were seen as sugar-coated bullets by him. Perhaps his demobilisation was the wisest choice, for the tide of socialism needed such a ride-roller to show his talents.

Xiao Zhang

When I say Little Zhang, I have feelings for him. I really didn't know if he could be called a soldier or if his arrival was a disaster or a disaster, but there was no doubt that his contribution to the army was negligible. He is the most comfortable person I have ever seen. The reason is that people who have seen him think that he is a little retarded. To this day, I still don't understand. Is he really retarded? Or perhaps he had been pretending for the past two years without leaving a trace. He was admirable. He was indeed a master in the entertainment industry!

My new recruit squad leader was originally very optimistic about Little Zhang. He thought that he had a bright future ahead of him. After he was selected to be in the new recruit squad eight, Squad Leader Nie finally helplessly admitted that " you can't always trust your first impression." Perhaps this was the biggest failure of Squad Leader Nie's military career. Xiao Zhang sometimes couldn't understand the class monitor's intentions. He repeated it again and again. Class Monitor Nie felt that this phenomenon was unusual and unbelievable. Squad Leader Nie tried his best to salvage the mistake, but it was too late. Xiao Zhang was a genuine " retard." He only had a fifth-grade elementary school education. He did not expect that when the advisor asked him to stand up from high school or above, he would miraculously stand up as well. It was as if he knew the outcome of the matter. He was not stupid. He actually faked his education.

Xiao Zhang's training was slow by half a beat. He wasn't slow like me, but he didn't understand. There were signs that he was mentally retarded. During his first re-examination, he had exposed himself. In the end, he pretended that he couldn't even believe God, so the doctor in charge of the heart wrote on his physical examination form that " this person has a psychological deviation." When he tested his eyesight, he couldn't even see the " E " at the top clearly. Could it be that his eyesight was zero? The military doctor in charge of the medical examination was really furious. This was fooling the foreigner, and it was simply unbearable. Therefore, his hope of being sent home in advance was ruined.

Squad Leader Nie was also at a loss. How could he send this mess-Xiao Zhang-to the Veterans Company? This was very irresponsible. On the night when the life of a recruit was about to end, it was twelve o'clock. Squad Leader Nie began to settle accounts with him after the fall. We thought that we would not be able to escape this time. I didn't expect Squad Leader Nie to be so calm and collected. He only evaluated the seven of us. He was merciless when he criticized us, and he was very accurate when he praised us. He praised my progress and Xiao Xu's consistent performance. He was very proud of Xiao Tang's glory for Lian. We all benefited a lot. We all objectively saw the bright spots and serious shortcomings in our bodies. We were very puzzled by the lack of comments on Little Zhang. It turned out that we had to take special care of him. Squad leader Nie ordered us to sleep in bed, but Xiao Zhang was left behind. The squad leader wanted to have a candlelight chat with him. The instructor who was checking the night asked him what he was doing, and the squad leader replied," Teach the soldiers."

We were all quietly waiting for that moment to come. The brave petrel was flying low in the sea to its heart's content. Squad Leader Nie first described what Xiao Zhang had done after he joined the army. Without a doubt, he was pretending to be crazy. He made us, who were lying at the end of the bed, very excited. We admired Squad Leader's insight. Xiao Zhang was speechless. He obviously felt that he had met a ruthless person. Then the class monitor got serious and gave Xiao Zhang three 100-point intensive training. He started with push-ups. We all know Xiao Zhang's physical fitness. It's not that he doesn't strengthen his training and plays tricks. He's panting after doing three. Even Xiao Zheng, who used to have the worst physical fitness, is far from it. To us, 100 push-ups is very easy. The slowest is 10 minutes, but I looked at my watch and it had already been more than 30 minutes. I haven't even completed 50 push-ups. My physique is too weak. At first, he haggled with the class monitor, but after that, he finally lost all his strength and was already drenched in sweat. I couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.

Time passed by, and Little Zhang did not make another one. The class monitor said helplessly that he should go to sleep. The operation that seemed to have been planned for a long time ended up with nothing.

Xiao Zhang was brought to the Veterans Company by Squad Leader Nie. From then on, Xiao Zhang was proud of himself for being called a wireless soldier. He still pretended to be crazy and played dumb to memorize the secret text. Squad Leader Nie did not make any requests of him. And so he continued to muddle along until the veterans were discharged. He seemed to have come to his senses. Perhaps, he hoped so!

Xiao Tang

I didn't want to mention Lil Tang too much because I didn't understand him. We didn't have much contact with the new recruits. Perhaps due to the differences in political views, he was from Qishan, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, and seemed to have some connection with the legendary Zhuge Liang. We're not strangers, but our relationship isn't that close. It's really difficult for me to understand it deeply, so I'll just remember it carelessly!

Lil Tang is a music lover with a deep musical talent. I heard that he majored in music in secondary school or high school. His obsession with music is no less than my obsession with literature. It has reached the point of madness. His voice is really magnetic, especially when he sings the songs of the Three Stars of the Plateau. It's very suitable and pleasant to the ears. His voice is deep and superb. This beautiful voice has brought us so much happiness and made our hearts free and relax countless times. I sincerely thank him.

He conquered the audience and his Bole with his musical talent. He sang at a few large parties in the recruit camp, which won him honor and made him famous in the regiment. In the end, it led him to go further and further away from us. We were supposed to leave the Veterans Company together, but unfortunately, on the sixth day, he was transferred to the neighboring company to focus on his music. His dream had come true. From then on, he would always have the chance to show his face at the team's large-scale gala. Every time I heard him sing to his heart's content on stage, I had a complicated feeling in my heart. I pointed at him and said to others, He is my brother in the recruit class. When he said this, there was a strange look in his eyes. Was it jealousy or something else?

Since our company was only separated by a wall, there were naturally many opportunities to meet. Every time they met, they would exchange pleasantries, as if they were old friends. In July 2005, we met again. He said he wanted to stay in the team, and I decided to retire. In November of 2005, he said that he was leaving the army (he eventually stayed). He said that he wanted to leave something for the army, so he wanted me to take time to write a poem for him. I didn't agree immediately, and finally didn't start writing. Perhaps it was because my brain didn't have any musical talent. This was a big regret in life. In the end, he still stayed in Hetian.

Xiao Zhao

I really feel very relaxed writing about Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao is a good comrade. At least, I thought that people like him were very suitable for life in the army. Although I had some connections in the army, I was ultimately eliminated by the big wave of the army. I was afraid that if I continued to survive, I would die silently. Perhaps I would have the mood to commit suicide. However, Xiao Zhao really did very well in the army and should be a role model.

How should I express my opinion of him? It might be complicated, but it's very clear. Let's start from the recruit company.

We're from the same hometown. He takes good care of me, and I take good care of him. I don't know what our trust is based on, but because he stayed in the team, we finally lost contact.

In my impression, he has always been the darling of the army. In the recruit company, his formation has won him a reputation. Although he occasionally has no strict requirements, he will laugh foolishly when he is scolded by the squad leader. Perhaps my personality is not perfect. I was born impulsive and stubborn. If I have made up my mind, I will do whatever it takes. Xiao Zhao was rarely confused about this. This was also the reason why his previous class monitors liked him very much. Whether it was strict, fair, generous, or unreasonable, I always felt that there was a certain gap between me and him in this aspect.

His military and political qualities are excellent. The only thing lacking is that his 5km is a little bad. In my impression, he rarely passes. I don't know if it's because his endurance is too poor or because he's born with phobia. For example, one of my comrades was born with acrophobia. I originally thought that acrophobia was something. As soon as he climbed to a height of 2 meters, he felt very afraid. However, it was nothing. In the end, the army helped him cure it. It was purely a mental illness because he was later assigned to the cable class and had to climb the telephone pole. Once, after climbing up, he did not dare to come down. The five-meter telephone pole required him to jump down directly, so the class monitor took a bamboo pole from below and poked his butt hard. Finally, he could not hold on tightly and jumped down from the five-meter telephone pole. From then on, he was no longer afraid.

His marksmanship was very accurate, but he had diarrhea at the critical moment. This might be due to his poor psychological quality. But overall, he was a qualified modern soldier. In March 2004, we went to study together. He went to Wuwei, and I went to Jinchang with Xiao Hei. It wasn't until October 2004 that we got together again in Jinchang City. When we were in Korla, we strolled around the beautiful Peacock River. At the Peacock River, I suddenly had the idea of going home.

Until I was discharged, we were brothers and comrades who stood on the same front. Especially when he encountered Squad Leader Liu, he showed unprecedented forbearance. This was something that the two of us armored shooters couldn't compare to, and it won the praise of Squad Leader Liu. Some people say that we should thank those who persecuted us, so that we can remember that we lived in deep water. We have to thank our enemies. Only then will we know that we can't die yet, because we have to fight. We have to thank those who create obstacles for us. Only by climbing over the mountains will we realize that life is so beautiful.

Xiao Zhao did it with his actions. His optimism and his new ideas finally became very distinctive in the army. Our company commander also liked it very much. Although time has passed, I still feel that his army life must be vivid.

(As for his comrades Zhang Meng and Xiao Xu, the storyline is too legendary. I won't talk about it anymore. I've entered the life of a soldier in Jinchang in July.)
