Soon after he arrived at his new unit, Guo Fan received an invitation from the editor of the magazine "Militia Life" to write an article for the magazine's 50th birthday. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Guo Fan happily agreed, which can be regarded as his memory of the first half of his life.

Here is the full text of the article:

There are always some coincidences in life, and there are always some coincidences in life.

I am for the people. Because of the influence of my family, I had an indescribable envy of soldiers since I was a child. The red collar badge, red five-star, green military uniform, and green shoulder bag are the glory ornaments worn on the body when they were children. At that time, I didn't know what the militia was and who could join the militia, but I was deeply attracted by his impactful cover, and was greatly moved by the vivid deeds of the vivid characters in it, so I took back a few copies and read them slowly. I still remember writing a diary when I was a child, but unfortunately the time has passed, and things are wrong, and that article can no longer be found. Life is like a white horse, fleeting, and in the blink of an eye, it is the season of high school graduation, but I missed out on college because of a few points. My father said: "Our family is related to the army and has a military complex, so you should go and become a soldier!" "I rejoiced in my heart, isn't this just my "little abacus"!

Serve as a soldier for your country. In December 1994, I joined the army and went to the south, the Tashan Army. Since the first day of my military career, the spirit of "taking into account the overall situation, strictly observing discipline, having the courage to make sacrifices, and daring to fight and win" has always inspired and inspired me. In April 1999, a wonderful opportunity favored me -- I was listed by my unit as a cadre to participate in the training organized by the military region, and I had the honor to be in the same squadron as Wang Shao, the squad leader of Li Xiang's class. Hearing Li Xiangqun's deeds with my own ears and seeing Li Xiangqun's demeanor as a squad leader made me suddenly enlightened: Isn't this exactly the life belief I want to pursue? With this realization in my heart, it is like a ray of sunshine in the darkness, leading me to pluck up the courage to move forward boldly. In the past 20 years, I have gone from having no faith to firmly believing in Marxism-Leninism, and then to faithfully practicing it, and have completed a major turning point in my life. The Tashan Army has raised the starting point of my life, corrected my life course, and activated my life motivation. At this moment, my future and destiny also took a turn for the worse.

How do you make a living? At the beginning of this year, an order transferred me from the combat unit to the people's armed forces system. From the original handy at work, it suddenly became nowhere to start; Life has also changed from the original high tension and rhythm to a little slow and chaotic, so that I can't find the north at once. I can't help but sigh, how can I make a living? In addition to being confused, the familiar four words "militia life" were projected into my eyes again. Columns such as "Typical Report", "Research and Exploration", "Focus on the Grassroots", and "Fanxing Style" slowly allowed me to find the focus of my work. In addition, I met a good partner who was a mentor and helpful friend, and through participating in the intensive training of newly appointed cadres, my ideological understanding was improved: I was able to work in the people's armed forces system, which was the high point of my position, but it was by no means the end of my career. As the political commissar of the Ministry of Armed Forces, I will do a good job in the "six types of people": the person in charge of party committee building, the leader of political work, the family members of officers and men on active duty, the model person who serves the masses, the person who displays the image of the army, and the person who unites internal and external relations.

Faith should live. Time flies, and what can be accumulated is the unyielding engraving of real life on the way to search. Looking back on the footprints of the past, I found that the touching of the past still inspires my fighting spirit to move forward. There are ups and downs in life, there are ups and downs in life, and there are big and small careers. Faith is the root. At all times, "the revolutionary ideal is higher than the sky." "Ideals guide the direction of life, and beliefs determine the success or failure of careers. Strengthening ideals and beliefs and adhering to the spiritual pursuit of communists is ultimately the foundation for communists to live in peace. With firm ideals and convictions, we will be able to stand taller, have a wider field of vision, and be broad-minded, and we will be able to adhere to the correct political orientation, not be arrogant or impatient in times of victory and good times, never be depressed or wavering in times of difficulties and adversities, and always maintain the true political qualities of communists.

Looking at the article he wrote, Guo Fan felt that his fate with the Tashan troops might have ended, was it?

But love is there, always there.
