Chapter 19: Hedonism

After the meeting was dismissed, the military academy organized everyone to sit down to discuss the speech of the chief of education, and pointed out the problems of each person face-to-face in connection with reality.

Hedonism is in a fierce confrontation with the idea of hard work. The instructor said: "The two armies face each other, the brave wins, and the soft and hard bones are only in an instant." Let go of the hypocrisy of the petty bourgeoisie and dare to cut into your own filthy soul! The revolution has not yet succeeded, and there are still thousands of suffering people waiting for us to liberate, but some people are indulging in pleasures, and the revolutionary will is crumbling among the flowers and beauties, and the tough guys become captives of the beauties, how dangerous it is! ”

Everyone lowered their heads sadly when they heard this, yes, for us, the revolution has just begun, and now life is a little more comfortable, and all kinds of hedonistic thoughts are unconsciously manifested, if it were not for the leadership of the military academy to have insight into the situation, hit the key point, a thunderbolt to wake us up, we hot-blooded young people will fall into the "sugar-coated cannonball" of bright lights and beautiful flowers.

Whether to throw himself into the embrace of gentle hedonism, or to abandon hedonism and choose to work hard to follow the party, every revolutionary soldier must make a choice! The fierce ideological struggle and external pressure have made some comrades feel ashamed of their stupid behavior. Some people can't eat, can't sleep well, keep their heads down all day long, like deflated balls, faceless to see people, and carry a heavy burden on their minds.

Everyone is dissecting themselves and organizing deliberations.

In my summary, I wrote: "I was born in a declining landlord family, although I was born as a student, but I read the books of feudal society, and I also have some Confucian and Mencian ways. I have two older brothers who work in the reactionaries, I have overseas connections, and my social connections are like 'double goods' as others say.

I came from the old society, and although I could not choose my background, I could choose the path of the revolution by myself. I follow and pursue the revolution, so I often admonish myself to be strict with high standards, to be modest and prudent, to guard against arrogance and rashness, to be a man with my tail between my legs, and to be a revolutionary who can withstand any test.

I never hide my thoughts from the organization, nor do I carry any baggage, I am willing to accept the transformation of old ideas, and pursue progress bit by bit. Since I have joined the revolution of my own volition, I must command my soul with advanced thinking, restrain myself with the discipline of the people's army, and make myself a real revolutionary soldier and carry the revolution through to the end! Since I was stationed in Fo City, I have not relaxed my self-transformation, I have not done anything to talk about love, let alone destroy the relationship between the military and the people, but I have unswervingly guarded the 'bottom line' of a revolutionary soldier, never retreated, and let hedonism go to hell! ”

I'm pouring beans on a bamboo tube - to the bottom. After listening to this, everyone thought that I could connect with my class background, dig deep into my ideological roots, and usually perform well, and passed the first batch of brigade evaluations.

Deng Xiaolin, Roslin, Zhang Guoyuan and others, they have good backgrounds, red roots, they have never mixed in the officialdom of the old society, and their thinking is simple, and they are also the first batch to pass the test. The instructor said: "To be able to pass the threshold of democratic appraisal is to take a step closer to the revolution." ”

In this summary, only five or six did not pass, and the main problems were: misconduct, undermining military-civilian relations, stealing fruits from the masses, and damaging the image of the army; going out to the movies and not returning to the team on time; The revolutionary will is declining, he does not want to be revolutionary, he wants to desert or become a son-in-law, and even his life is corrupted, and he has sexual relations; Leaking troop secrets, being used by bad guys, and so on.

A comfortable living environment is a double-edged sword, which can not only test people's will, but also make people go crazy and fall into the abyss.

Through analyzing the root causes and harms of the problems, and organizing everyone to debate, they were able to distinguish between right and wrong, improve their ideological understanding, and finally passed the review. However, only one comrade refused to realize his mistake and kept saying that "we must have personal freedom, and we cannot use one model to imprison people...... and later the school department sent people to do his ideological work, but there was still "no way." In the end, the military university dealt with this stubborn "liberal" element by "expelling him from school and returning him to his hometown."

The revolutionary movement is like a big wave sweeping sand, and in the torrent of revolution, all sludge and muddy water will be eliminated by history. It's really "the big river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the eternal romantic characters." (Su Dongpo's "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia")

The whole school held a summary meeting, and Li Li, deputy director of the Political Department of the school department (he graduated from Peking University), made a summary. He said: "In the ideological struggle, we must dare to bayonet the red, to advance and bring out the red, and we can only attack and not defend against bourgeois liberalism, non-profitism, and hedonism, let alone retreat." Our philosophy is the philosophy of struggle, and a comrade who can fight and win is an improvement. ”

He stressed: "I hope that everyone will fight courageously against all the corrupt ideas of the bourgeoisie." He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The military university is a school for training revolutionary cadres, not a teahouse for bourgeois liberalization. It's not easy to be a qualified revolutionary cadre! In addition to receiving the party's education, it is also necessary to rely on personal efforts. We will soon march to the southwest, and the liberation of the whole country is now! I hope you will work hard! The conference ended with a round of applause.

After the meeting, the first to third teams and the fourth team had a party. At the meeting, competitions such as "Challenge and Challenge" and "Pairing" were carried out, and the slogan of the party was: "The whole team is full, the ambition is high, and we will meet in the spring city." After a lively night, everyone took advantage of the joy and bathed in the care of the moonlight and returned to the station.

The newly established Fourth Brigade was recruited from Suicheng, including students from Minzu University, Nanbian University, and Suicheng University, as well as young people from other universities, and their arrival added new strength to the Fourth Branch of the Military University.

Soon, the higher authorities conveyed the order to march: liberate the southwest, purge the remnants of bandits, build a new southwest, defend the frontier, and consolidate the frontier.

As soon as the military order arrived, the military army immediately made preparations before the march: sewing cotton clothes, preparing supplies, lightly loading items, and counting physical goods...... Everything was like a silent order, hinting that the troops were about to be deployed.

Everyone is a student, no one has ever made clothes, this will have to make cotton clothes and pants by themselves, although there are teachers to teach big classes, but it must be the first time that the big girl is in the sedan chair. After more than ten days of study and production, I finally put together the cotton clothes and pants, and then marched and trained at night, the cotton in the clothes and pants ran around, the trouser legs and sleeves were full of cotton, and the leggings were more like bubble pants, and they were ridiculed by the women's squadron as "bloated soldiers".

Later, the brigade invited a master to conduct training with the squadron as a unit, re-learn the methods, procedures and know-how of making cotton clothes, and then divide the squadron into small teams to learn step by step. After more than half a month of sewing, we finally completed this arduous task.

One day, shortly after dinner, Mazi came to me and whispered into my ear, "Now come with me to a meeting." He turned around and went to find a few more comrades. I saw that his expression was serious and mysterious, and I knew that there was something, so I didn't want to ask more, so I had to follow along.
