"Participating in the military parade postponed the wedding date, until now there is no set time for marriage, do you regret it?" After the parade, someone asked Li Xuan, the squad leader of the Baoji detachment of the Shaanxi Provincial Armed Police Corps. Li Xuan replied: "It is worth it to be a member of the women's military team and be reviewed by President Xi and the people of the motherland." ”
No regrets!
In April this year, after receiving the notice of the pre-selection of the military parade, Li Xuan first told her parents about her desire to participate in the military parade, and her parents encouraged her to strive for glory. But when asking for her boyfriend's opinion, the boyfriend had different opinions: participating in the parade training was tiring and not good for her health; the two were scheduled to get married on July 19, and they had to postpone the wedding date to participate in the parade. Li Xuan felt that the wedding dress could be postponed and worn, but the military parade was only once in 10 years, and missing it was a regret of a lifetime. The boyfriend saw her persistence and stubbornness and eventually supported her choice. In this way, Li Xuan embarked on the road of being read.
In early May, all 150 female soldiers of the Armed Police Force gathered at a training base for their first examination. To her surprise, in less than a day, more than 90 players were eliminated. Seeing that many comrades-in-arms left the training ground crying, Li Xuan made up his mind: He must persist to the end and must accept the review.
Training at a glance

The training ground is a place to test perseverance. Kicking training at least 300 times a day, and requiring the action of "kicking the legs, falling to the ground and smashing the pit", after 8 hours of continuous training, the two legs are red and swollen, and even bending is very difficult. Under long-term high-intensity training, Li Xuan's right foot was worn by shoes and suppurated, and sometimes he couldn't sleep at night. But the next day on the training ground, she threw herself into the training again, completely forgetting the injury on her foot.
In the height of summer, the training ground is extremely hot, sometimes as high as 40 °C. The women's platoon is paraded with guns, and they must carry rifles when training. The rifle became so hot in the sun that it burned its handle through the gloves. Sometimes they also had to carry rifles on their backs, and their backs were burned by rifles many times.
Under the scorching sun, this group of female soldiers with an average age of 24 years old had to drink about 7.5 liters of water every day, their bodies were soaked with sweat seven or eight times, and their necks were also exposed with the parader's unique medal of honor - black and white "V" prints, but none of the team members cried bitterly and tired, and none of them flinched and gave up.
Li Xuan said that he was not afraid of physical exhaustion and pain, because he was a soldier, a 9-year veteran. While enduring physical suffering, he was also undergoing a great test in his heart: he was honorably honored to participate in the reading, and he carried the great expectations of the officers and men of the headquarters, and he must persist until the last moment. However, under the cruel training and strict assessment, there will be players eliminated in each assessment, will they become the next eliminated team members?
When she was suffering, her family and comrades called her to comfort and encourage her, which made her deeply moved. She remembered her joy when the squadron leader first told her the news of the selection of the parade team among the female soldiers, remembered the instructions of the political commissar when he sent him off, remembered the meticulous care of his family, remembered the understanding and support of his lovers... All kinds of love poured into her heart, and her courage and strength gradually filled her body, making her grit her teeth to overcome difficulties and persist in training.
The parade ground is like a battlefield, regardless of gender. Standing in a military posture for 60 minutes without falling, practicing eye contact for 40 seconds without blinking, and always maintaining a stride length of 75 cm... From generals to soldiers, from 56 to 18 years old, in order to train the momentum of the mountains and the sea, they have made unimaginable efforts. Li Xuan has a more profound understanding of the rigor of training: "When wearing a military uniform, you must forget the word 'female' and remember the word 'soldier', and the parade ground does not lower the training standard for female soldiers, that is because the enemy on the battlefield will not raise the muzzle of the gun because you are a female soldier." ”
The training continued, and Li Xuan's performance continued to improve, and finally won the approval of the coach. According to the rules, the team members with excellent results entered the phalanx first, and Li Xuan and other armed police members were ranked in the 10th, 11th, and 12th rows; the first team members who entered the platoon could give priority to all the platoons, and Li Xuan chose to stand in the 10th row at that time. Due to the outstanding results, Li Xuan was favored by the coach of the 11th row, and the coach reported to the leader of the square team 3 times to coordinate, and finally won Li Xuan to the 11th row.
In early September, Li Xuan and other team members participated in the first field exercise in front of Tiananmen Square. At that time, Li Xuan was still slightly nervous, her heart was pounding, her palms were sweating, and she kept cheering herself up: she was the best! We must be able to follow through!
Subsequently, the superiors organized two more field exercises. Li Xuan became more and more confident and his movements became more and more skillful, and he was unanimously recognized by the coach and the team members, and was determined to be a full team member to participate in the parade.
On October 1, a heroic female soldier's party passed through Tiananmen Square with an unstoppable momentum to be inspected by President Xi Jinping and the people of the motherland. At that moment, Li Xuan felt that he was the happiest person: more than 150 days of hard work had finally ended with a satisfactory end.
Walking off the parade ground, Li Xuan sent his honorary certificate to the WeChat circle of friends. She said that this is an honor and a youth.
