The middle current hits the water and strives to move forward

The years passed, and the four o'clock changed. Crossing the river of time, we waved goodbye to the magnificent and extraordinary year of 2021 and ushered in a vibrant and hopeful 2022. Standing at a new historical node and looking at the glorious other side of national rejuvenation, revolutionary soldiers in the new era must especially maintain an unswerving mental state and an attitude of indomitable struggle, stand up at the head of the tide in the middle stream of water, take on the role in the struggle to move forward, write every wave into exquisite poetry lines, and turn the vision in their hearts into a magnificent beauty.

Looking back at the magnificent century-long journey, the Communist Party of China led the Chinese people to go forward and succeed one after another through thousands of difficulties, endured all kinds of dangers but persevered, stubbornly resisted when the great powers invaded, fought with blood when the mountains and rivers were broken, became angry and strong when they were poor and white, advanced with the times when hundreds of boats were competing for the current, and created one miracle after another in the annals of history. A great leap from getting rich to getting strong. The poet Ai Qing once described it affectionately: "Glory belongs to those who do not care about their lives, glory belongs to those who go forward and follow, the thunder in the storm is particularly loud, the lightning in the depths of the dark clouds is particularly bright, and only through the long night can the fiery red sun spew out." ”

Where the ambition is, the water hits three thousand miles. Both history and reality show that life aspirations lead the course of career. Those who dare to hit the water in the middle of the stream and strive to move forward always have high ambitions, just as the so-called "determination and holiness are holy, and determination and wisdom are virtuous." "My team and I pursue 'writing youth for the country's heavens', and our goal is the sea of stars." This "golden sentence" of Wang Ke, deputy chief designer of the space application system of China's manned space project after the 80s, has rippled in people's hearts. Generations of astronauts have embraced the lofty ambition of shepherding the stars and cultivating the universe, and have paved the "ladder" to space with wisdom, blood and life. The philosopher once said: "A person who does not have a lofty ideal of life is like a small boat in the sea, which will always be hit by strong winds and waves and sink to the bottom of the sea." "What we are doing and will do is to climb to a new height on a mountain that has never been set foot before. Revolutionary soldiers in the new era must raise the ideal sails, grasp the compass of ambition, not be hindered by wind and rain, not be hindered by bumps, and firmly and confidently plunge into the torrent of the times, so that this leaf of life can calmly sail through the ten thousand mountains full of difficulties and challenges.

Hardships and hardships, Yuru Yucheng; entrepreneurship is difficult, struggle to succeed. Looking back at the road traveled, there has never been a glory that fell from the sky, nor has it been successful overnight. Our party's leaders Chinese min's 8 years of persistent struggle to hand over the victory answer sheet for poverty alleviation, wrote a magnificent chapter of reform and opening up with more than 40 years of hard work, and forged a brilliant historical cause with 100 years of unremitting struggle. It can be said that under the sky of every fight against the wind and waves, the melody of struggle is stirred; every footprint of courageous forward is full of the hardships of struggle. Struggle is a powerful driving force to promote the progress of the times, and it is also an important bridge to the other side of success. To turn our dreams into reality, we must maintain such vigor, such a revolutionary enthusiasm, and such a desperate spirit, strive to be fighters who "do not wait for when at this time", and with the fearless spirit of "sacrificing more ambitions and daring to teach the sun and the moon to change the new day", we must passionately charge forward on the rainbow journey of a strong country and a strong army, achieve excellent standards in small things, strive to create extraordinary achievements in ordinary posts, and step on a solid footprint in the military career.

Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in "The Theory of Contradictions": "If there is a complex process of two or more contradictions, it is necessary to use all our strength to find out its main contradiction. This main contradiction is caught, and all problems are solved. "At present, our country is in a critical stage of growing from big to strong. On the way forward, we will face more severe and complicated contradictions and difficulties. We must not only take the initiative to solve problems in the places where development is most difficult, contradictions are most concentrated, and where the masses need them most; we must also not be afraid of floating clouds to cover our eyes, see the essence through phenomena, be good at holding the "bull's nose," grasp the main contradictions in the complicated situation, and especially keep a close eye on the difficulties, focal points, and blockages in the development of army building, "dare to make moves and be good at responding to them," and "unswervingly do what is right." In this way, it will surely win a vivid situation of thousands of sails competing.

Vast and boundless, sails but trade winds. "A great cause is great not only because it is just and grand, but also because it is not smooth sailing." But only when it is difficult can it be more courageous; only its perseverance can be precious. As long as we are not afraid of hardships and dangers and bravely forge ahead, the ship of a strong military undertaking will certainly be able to sail to a more brilliant future, and ordinary people will also be able to shine in our respective posts and greet the victory of the party's twentieth national congress with excellent results.
