In 1998, Jiangxi suffered a massive flood. When the villagers were in danger, a group of green figures appeared next to the villagers. The picture of the officers and men of the People's Liberation Army helping the villagers out of danger without fear of hardship and fatigue and regardless of their own safety has been deeply imprinted in my mind, and I truly feel the party's warm concern for the masses of the people and the bravery and fearlessness of the people's children and soldiers for the people. Since then, the desire to join the army has been planted in my heart like a seed.
At the end of 2004, I became a soldier as I wished. When the new recruits were discharged from the company, the troops were in the midst of an upsurge of learning from "missile commander" Yang Yegong, and I was deeply touched by Commander Yang's advanced deeds of "unswervingly following the party and being bold and loyal to winning the war." After receiving several praises from "progressive individuals," I submitted an application to the party organization to join the party.
Since then, I have begun to briefly come into contact with some theoretical knowledge of the Party, but I have not made a complete plan on why and to what extent I want to learn.
One year, our unit launched the activity of "I dedicate a plan for winning the war" and encouraged officers and men to make suggestions and suggestions for the development of the troops and the building of combat strength. With enthusiasm, I made a number of suggestions. However, a basin of cold water poured head-on, and due to insufficient theoretical accumulation and lack of depth in looking at the problem, my suggestions were not adopted.
"The party's innovation theory is a scientific guide to guide the development and progress of the cause of a strong military." If you want to put forward a 'golden idea' that is beneficial to the construction of the unit, you cannot do without theoretical support. "The words of the political instructor pointed me in the right direction.
Understanding this truth, I made up my mind: We must study the party's theory well and bring into play the real power of theory in practice.
I started from simple common sense, when I encountered content I did not understand, I marked it, looking for someone to consult; when I saw important points, I copied them down and wrote down my learning experience, and over time, this became my learning habit. Over the years, I have studied works such as "Xi Jinping on Strengthening the Army and Rejuvenating the Army" and "Xi Jinping on Governing the Country" over and over again, written down more than 500,000 words of reading notes, study testimonials, and compiled and printed theoretical learning experiences such as "The Power of Feeling the Truth" and "Spark Collection".
The longer I studied, the more I felt that theory had power, and that this power could only be felt when it was truly studied, and the deeper the study, the stronger the power became. With this powerful force as a support, we will be able to start a business with ease.
Once, the unit information network equipment was comprehensively upgraded, requiring a support capability within one month. The complex communication network system, integrated operating platform, and new system software make many experienced operators shake their heads. At this time, I took over this "hard bone" without hesitation.
During that time, I riveted in the computer room to study seriously, and sometimes I forgot to eat even the food. In less than a month, I have been able to skillfully operate the new equipment and take the lead in independent work among my comrades-in-arms. In that year, in the professional competition organized by the superiors, my comrades-in-arms and I won the first place in the group with excellent professional ability, and I myself ranked second in the individual competition.
From "individual practice" to "everyone participates". Along the way, I have deeply felt that once advanced theories are grasped by the masses, they will become a powerful material force. As a party member and a soldier, I have the responsibility to lead more people when learning and practicing the party's innovative theory.
Based on this idea, I joined the "Theoretical Light Cavalry" propaganda team organized by the unit to share with my comrades-in-arms the experience and experience of studying the party's innovative theories; I stepped onto the podium of the "Beacon Lecture Hall" set up by the unit to explain the doubts and doubts of my comrades-in-arms face to face.
In order to effectively improve the effectiveness of the teaching, I also actively innovate the teaching method, focusing on the combination of reasoning and storytelling, big themes and small incisions. Through the use of simple words, vivid examples, detailed data, intuitive charts, as well as short videos, animations and other carriers that young officers and soldiers like, we have narrowed the distance between the party's innovative theories and everyone.
Last year, the troops organized a contest of political trainers. With a solid theoretical foundation and vivid teaching form, I stood out from more than 30 contestants and became the only soldier to be rated as an "excellent political teacher pacesetter".
For a period of time, I found that as the intensity and difficulty of training in the troops continued to increase, individual officers and men had negative emotions and their enthusiasm for training declined. To this end, I gave you a tutorial lesson on the topic of "The Rust of Thought Is More Dangerous".
"If you are a foot loose in your thinking, you will be a little loose in training." Shouldering the mission of the mountain, we must always maintain the high state of 'bow full of strings, with armor sleep'. "After the class, everyone's sense of urgency in training and preparing for war was significantly enhanced. Over the years, my comrades-in-arms and I have participated in more than 100 major tasks and successfully completed our tasks one after another. My squad has won the first place in the joint training of the Rocket Force and the Theater Formation on many occasions.
In the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic struck suddenly. In the process of fighting the epidemic, some rumors are rampant, and even some comrades-in-arms are talking about it in private. Seeing this scene, I was quite anxious. To this end, I carefully studied President Xi's important speech during the fight against the epidemic, collected relevant materials, and used the webcast to give everyone a tutoring lesson to guide everyone to strengthen their confidence in victory and consciously resist rumors. After a class, the comrades-in-arms suddenly opened their hearts.
A comrade-in-arms around me once asked me: "Why have you always been so firm and full of positive energy?" "I think all this is because of learning theory, believing in theory, and using theory, and only by letting the light of truth ignite the fire in the heart can we release the huge energy of innovative theory."
