26 January 2000. The weather today is exceptionally clear www.biquge.info there is not a trace of clouds in the blue sky, and there is no cold in the south in winter. At this time, the classroom of the first team of officers was full of enthusiasm, everyone was neatly dressed, and the "red cards" on their shoulders were shining brightly and shining under the projection of the sun. Everyone's once handsome and white faces have also become darker, but more shiny. On the podium, Captain Liu was making an impromptu closing speech with his thick and slightly magnetic baritone.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate the 10 comrades who have just won the outstanding trainees. This was jointly elected by everyone and decided by the squadron party committee. I hope you will not be arrogant or discouraged and make great achievements in your new positions. Over the past year, everyone has suffered and tired, and we have also criticized and scolded, but everyone has finally persevered, and congratulations on your successful completion today. Today is a watershed in everyone's life, from now on you will officially become an officer of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and dedication to national defense will become a cause that you will fight for all your life; I hope that you can realize the role change as soon as possible after you go back, integrate into the company, adapt to the post, make contributions at the grassroots level, and create a more brilliant future through your own efforts and struggles. ”

After speaking, the captain looked at Instructor Li and motioned for him to say a few words as well. Instructor Li walked up to the podium with steady steps and did not hurry.

"Comrades, through your unremitting efforts, you have achieved your own leap in life, and I am very happy for you. I won't say more words of congratulations, but a few words of encouragement. Today, this step you have taken is only a small step in your military career, and it is also a small step in your life, but this step is very solid and very critical, and this step will benefit you for a long time, even a lifetime, and you may not feel it at all now. I hope that no matter where you go in the future, you will not forget your current dreams, always maintain the strength you have now, and build your own life 'high platform'. ”

"Comrades, although we are about to leave the training team, we must not forget that we are all members of the Communist Party, let alone our beliefs. What is faith, faith is heartfelt recognition and sincere obedience; What is Yang, Yang is the firm maintenance and persistent following born of recognition and obedience. I sincerely hope that you will not deviate from the road in the future, but will go more and more solid, more and more brilliant, and always strive for the ideal and move towards the ideal. ”

The instructor's words made people's hearts surge when they listened to them, although they were a bit preachy, but they could be heard as earnest teachings.

As soon as the ceremony ended, the front of the squadron instantly became lively, different from when they came, everyone no longer felt strange to each other, but more reluctant to say goodbye.

Liu Lian and the others have already announced the order of military rank because they are fighting floods, so the "red card" on his shoulder at this time has been replaced by the rank of second lieutenant that Zhen has kept in the drawer for one year, and he seems to be a lot more energetic.

"Lao Zhou, welcome to our unit to play, don't forget me!" Liu Lian was a warm-hearted person, and he extended an invitation to Zhou Misheng and made a gesture of hugging him. The two big men hugged each other deeply, the corners of their eyes were a little moist, and they didn't want to part for a long time. Men with temperament pay more attention to feelings, and men who value feelings also pay attention to details. Liu Lian said goodbye to everyone one by one.

While everyone was saying goodbye, I quickly found a landline phone and called my second aunt.

"Second aunt, I'm done!" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt something block his throat, his nose was sore, and tears came out of his eyes. Waiting for this moment, it is really too long, there are grievances and joys suppressed in the bottom of my heart, and after five years of hard work, I finally got something. The family has been looking forward to this moment for too long, and the hopes of their parents, the expectations of their relatives, and the high hopes of the family can be regarded as giving them an explanation at this moment. Because my family is in the countryside and there are no conditions to install a telephone, I just hope that my second aunt will tell the family the news as soon as possible, and exchange my progress for the happiness of my family.

"Guo Fan, Guo Fan." "I'm here." As soon as I turned around, it was my friend Lu Ting calling me.

"I'm leaving, take care, brother, your future must be better than mine, go to the unit and do it well." Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell me a few words. He and I were in different regiments of the same division, and the unit was stationed in different places, so he had to take the car back to the unit by himself.

"My good brother, my good comrade-in-arms, you are the same, keep in touch, if there is anything you don't understand, I will ask you again." We waved to each other, looked at his distant back, and silently said in our hearts: Brother, come on.

"The car is coming, the car is coming, the unit is picking up our car." I don't know who shouted, and I saw a Dongfeng car driving in front of the squadron. The vehicle was led by Officer Kopan, a cadre of the unit, who came to pick us up. Everyone quickly loaded their luggage into the car and said goodbye to the team leaders one by one.

"Come, sing a song, send off your comrades, embark on a journey, prepare, sing". As soon as the car started, Zhang Jinhang volunteered to direct everyone to sing. Several old comrades got firecrackers out of nowhere, lit them and threw them at the back of the car, crackling, and the sound of firecrackers and everyone's singing of "Sending Comrades-in-Arms" made the atmosphere a little sad and tragic. This hanging firecracker, as if to say goodbye to this unit, to forget all the hardships that everyone has suffered here, and swear that they will never come here again in this life, there are too many ups and downs, there are too many unbearable sufferings here; This hanging firecracker is like a kind of thanks, thanks for this rare and valuable experience, and thanks to the careful training of the leaders of the first team of officers; This hanging firecracker is also like a kind of celebration, celebrating the victory after overcoming difficulties and celebrating the growth in the process of struggle; This hanging firecracker is more like a kind of expedition, heralding the beginning of a new life and the beginning of a new journey.

"Come, let's sing another song "We Are Soldiers." I don't know who shouted, everyone responded.

"What is different about us soldiers, just because we wear simple military uniforms,

What is the difference between us soldiers and soldiers, since we left our hometown, it is difficult to see our parents;

It's different, but it's actually the same, it's all the years of youth, and they're all hot-blooded.

It's different, but it's actually the same, the same footprints, leaving the mountains and rivers to ......"

""Song of the Tashan Army", we are the heroic Tashan Iron Army, prepare, sing." ……

The song echoed in the carriage for a long, long time. Thanks to the military singers and lyricists, it is they who let us soldiers have a special way for soldiers to express our feelings when they don't know what words to use to express our feelings -- that is, singing.
