Xu Yang, who had finished taking a bath, lay on the bed, not feeling the calculation of Lao Hu and the two at all.

Although it was only about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Yang was not going to go out, and he wanted to invite Mr. He to have a meal before leaving, but Xu Yang couldn't do anything if he had something to do.

Since Teacher He didn't come out, Xu Yang had no reason to go out, how good it was to lie on the bed and salted fish.

Xu Yang took out his mobile phone and booked a high-speed rail ticket back to HB tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning, Xu Yang is going to see the raising of the national flag, coming to the capital to go to university to enlist in the army for two years, graduation, until now, Xu Yang has not seen the national flag raising once, the current society is not as good as before, now, every one of our Chinese sons and daughters is proud of their motherland, we are a world power.

Xu Yang went to bed early this time to prepare for watching the national flag raising early tomorrow morning.

Nothing was said all night

...........

Early the next morning, Xu Yang set off before four o'clock in the morning, don't ask why you went so early to grab the position.

Grabbing a front position, it was not easy to come and see the national flag raised, Xu Yang didn't want to take a look at it from a distance behind.

Out of the hotel, Xu Yang took a taxi outside, and it took more than half an hour for Xu Yang to finally arrive at Tiananmen Square, and from a distance, there were already many figures walking around.

These are the same outsiders who came to see the raising of the national flag in Tiananmen Square like Xu Yang, and the locals rarely come here to see it except on October 1, when the National Day is celebrated.

Xu Yang hurriedly stepped forward and found a position to stand at the front, wearing a black costume that obviously did not match the surrounding crowd, but it complemented the sky at this time, the same black, as if blending into the surrounding environment.

Xu Yang stood quietly in the front position, not moving or speaking, as time went by, the people behind Xu Yang began to increase, dense crowds, noise, and laughter.

A lot of people are holding cameras and mobile phones recording or taking pictures.

The time came to five o'clock, and as the flag-raising honor guard began to enter the venue, the whole scene began to quiet down.

Although it is not an important holiday, it is just a normal duty for them, but everyone is full of energy and has not slacked off at all.

Flag-raisers, flag-guards, and the entire guard of honor began to proceed in an orderly manner.

Xu Yang's eyes have been on this honor guard, on the five-star red flag, with solemnity, admiration, and envy in his eyes.

That's right, it's envy.

The soldiers who can raise the national flag in front of the capital country are the envy of every soldier, and they have gone through layers of selection and how much hard training they have undergone, and outsiders have no way of knowing.

Xu Yang is also a person who has been a soldier, and he knows the difficulties involved, so it can be said that the soldiers who can stand in this position are undoubtedly the best ones.

Xu Yang University enlisted in the army for two years, and he was only a big-headed soldier, not a special soldier as written in the novel, a soldier king or something, just the most ordinary big-headed soldier.

Don't say that in the entire company, even in the class, Xu Yang is not the best one, there are many people who are better than Xu Yang in physical strength, training, and even learning.

Xu Yang also thought that one day he would shine in the army and become the most dazzling group of people, but Xu Yang did not have that strength.

The soldiers who can stand here and raise the national flag are undoubtedly excellent in Xu Yang's eyes, and they can be envied by Xu Yang, and being able to raise the national flag here is a thing that can be regarded as glory by the soldiers.

At 5:15 a.m., the national flag-raising ceremony officially began.

When the familiar music sounded, Xu Yang subconsciously raised his head, straightened his chest, and opened his back, showing the whole person to outsiders the standard military posture.

The only regret is that Xu Yang's body is not the green military uniform.

When the flag raiser threw out the red flag, Xu Yang, like the soldiers of the honor guard, subconsciously raised his right hand and wanted to salute.

But Xu Yang's right hand just raised to his chest and stopped.

'I'm not a soldier anymore, I'm not wearing a military uniform, I can't ..... I'm not qualified to use a military salute,' Xu Yang slowly put down his right hand and kept saying to himself in his heart.

Yes, since the moment he retired from the army, Xu Yang could no longer salute the army, and not wearing that military uniform to salute was disrespectful to the red flag.

"Hehe" Xu Yang silently saluted at the red flag.

'Even though I can't salute now, I am saluting in my heart as a former soldier.'

"May the motherland be well and prosperous"

Xu Yang silently blessed in his heart.

Although it was not the first time to see the national flag raised, it was the first time in front of the country, and it felt really different from the previous experience.

When that flag is raised, you feel pride, it's a sense of nation, we love our country, this land, we have a sense of belonging to it.

We can say that he is not good, but others say, people in other countries say, "it will not work"

With the end of the national flag-raising ceremony, the people on the field began to leave one after another.

It wasn't until the departure of the honor guard that Xu Yang came back to his senses.

"Hehe," Xu Yang, who laughed dryly, threw out the emotions in his mind, turned around and walked outside.

"The motherland is strong, and every Chinese son and daughter is proud of it"

"Facts have proved again and again that no one dares to attack this current China"

We have countless soldiers ready at any time, and the soldier is the support of the people, even if the soldier is as old as your son'

Compared with some foreign countries, when did our soldiers carry guns in the face of natural disasters? We are "disaster relief" not to suppress riots.

As long as an army comes, the people will not be in chaos, because they know that behind the army is the state.

This is China, a world power.

...........

This time, watching the national flag raising had a great impact on Xu Yang, with shock, joy, pride, and loss.

What shocked me was that the impact of this occasion on Xu Yang's heart was far more real than that of other places or on TV, and I was pleased that the country was strong and the strong sense of nationality made people happy.

I am proud that no matter which country we are in the world, we can straighten our backs and say 'I am Chinese', but disappointed that Xu Yang is not a soldier at this time and can no longer wear that military uniform to salute the national flag.

This city where Xu Yang has stayed for four years still gives Xu Yang a different feeling to this day, for Xu Yang in the past, this is the capital of the country, the most prosperous metropolis in China, and the place where he gets along with Yan Yue the most and is the happiest, but until today it has given Xu Yang a different shock.

With many emotions that Xu Yang himself didn't know, Xu Yang stepped on the train to HB.

"Hb, I'm back"
