"It was on that day that I understood that the greatness of our country is not in the gross national product, not in the GDP that has increased in two words, peace. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuo Qiang paused, then turned his head and glanced at Zhang Kun: "Maybe you won't understand very well that the word peace is easy to say, but the preciousness of these two words is probably only understood by those of us who have experienced it." ”

"Maybe for you, get up at seven or eight o'clock every day, wash your face and brush your teeth, think about what to eat for breakfast, then go to work, go to school, in the afternoon, meet a few friends, drink some wine, grill a skewer, play some cards, and then go home, watch TV, wash and sleep. These things couldn't be more normal. ”

"However, in the places we have seen, for the people of some war-torn countries, there is rarely a quiet night, and for them, every night that falls represents an unknown future. ”

"Think about what's going on for breakfast? No, for them, it's a luxury to have something to fill their stomachs in the morning. As for going to school and going to work, those are things that can only appear in dreams. ”

"They go through every day tremblingly, getting up early and staying late, trying to find a way to get a meager income to keep themselves alive. ”

"At that moment, my mindset finally changed. ”

"Why did I want to be in the army, not just for money, but for a stable job. At that moment, I seemed to finally understand, soldiers, what to do. ”

"In fact, from the first day I signed up for the army, there were countless slogans telling me what the duties of a soldier are. ”

"Defend the country. ”

"Our duty is to guard this country, to guard this rare peace. ”

"I want my family, my future wife, my future children, and my children and grandchildren to continue to enjoy this peace. ”

"During that peacekeeping operation, I deeply understood what a country is and what a home is. ”

"Only when there is a country can there be a home, and if the country is broken, the family will die. ”

"So, in order to defend our family, our loved ones, we have to protect our country, and for that, I am willing to give everything. ”

"After that mission, I spent another three years in the border army, and later, I met my current wife, and two years later, we had Toshihiko again. ”

"In my eighth year in the army, for the sake of my wife and children, I left the border army, but I still did not choose to leave the army, I came to the local armed police force, and continued to guard this land of China as a soldier. ”

"Being a soldier is very tiring, even if I was already a veteran at the time, I still feel very tired, but if I have to say why, as I said before, in this world, there are some things that someone must do. ”

"I once saw such a story in a book, and I didn't know if it was a real history or just a romance. It was before the founding of the People's Republic of China, during the Anti-Japanese War. ”

"At that time, in a certain guerrilla detachment in Hebei, a team of less than twenty people, they had just won a battle that day, and at night, everyone sat around and enjoyed the canned food captured from the Japanese devils during the day. ”

Everyone chatted while eating, and then slowly talked about what a beautiful scene it would be if the Japanese devils were driven out of China. Everyone must eat steamed buns at once, and there can also be meat. ”

"But as he was talking, suddenly a little soldier started crying slowly, and someone next to him asked, 'Why are you crying?'" The little soldier said, 'I don't know if I can see it, but if I can't see it, why am I?'"

"yes, why?"

"In the book, the captain said, 'There are many comrades who don't know, why are we fighting devils. Just like Ergou said, we don't know if we can see the day when the Anti-Japanese War is won, if we can't see it, why do we have to work so hard. ’”

At that time, the captain asked rhetorically, and then continued: 'We are working with devils! Not for us! Not so that we can eat steamed buns and pork at once. ’”

"'Let's do it with the devils! for our future! Those children in the future, ah, can be safe and stable, ah, eat, go to school, eat steamed buns and pork every day, everyone says!

At that time, even they knew in their hearts that war would kill people, and that they would probably not survive to win the war, and perhaps tomorrow, they would die on the battlefield. ”

"But why did they still have to fight the war, and they still had to pick up guns and knives to drive the Japanese devils out of China? It was so that the children in the future could eat and go to school in peace. ”

"As I said before, in this world, there are some things that someone has to do. ”

"If we didn't have such a group of predecessors and ancestors who risked their lives and knew that even if they won the war, they would probably have nothing to do with them and would not enjoy any fruits of victory, would we still have the peaceful life we have now?"

"For them at that time, it was already a rare happy life to be able to eat steamed buns and occasionally have meat at every meal, do you think they can imagine what we look like now?"

"No, even they are not completely sure that our country will definitely win the final victory, but they still stood up and used their flesh and blood to win this 10,000-year prosperous era for us, our children and grandchildren. ”

"You can imagine what China would be like now without those martyrs, without the more than 3.2 million heroes who died in battle, and without the 5.6 million soldiers?"

"I don't dare to compare with those martyrs, but the martyrs did everything for our descendants, and it was not easy to get this hard-won peace, and I am willing to give everything to maintain this rare peace. ”

"What is said to be for the sake of the country, those are the words of the official, what I really want to defend in my heart is my family, my wife, and my children. ”

"I hope that when my children grow up, they can still live in such a simple life of getting up at seven or eight o'clock every day, washing their faces and brushing their teeth, thinking about what to eat for breakfast, and then going to work, going to school, meeting a few friends in the afternoon, drinking some wine, grilling a skewer, playing some cards, and then going home, watching TV, washing and sleeping, that's all. ”

"Yes, because of this mission, I gave my life, I left my family, my wife, my children. ”

"But if you want to ask me if I regret it, I have only one answer, I have no regrets!"
