After watching Li Yannian on the screen, look for the "Li Yannian" around him. In the Tai'an Detachment of the Shandong Armed Police Corps, the officers and men invariably remembered a name -- Xue Jun.

As the saying goes, "Teaching by example is more important than words." Grassroots political cadres taking the lead in setting an example and setting up a banner are the political education that can most impress people's hearts and the most powerful "silent order." Just like Li Yannian at that time, he personally tested the danger in the blockade area braving the fierce artillery fire of the enemy, and every time he encountered a combat situation, he was able to take the lead and charge forward.

A certain unit of the Tai'an detachment of the armed police is a grass-roots squadron stationed in the depths of the Taishan Mountains, and "small scattered and remote" and "environmental isolation" are the real feelings of Xue Jun, the political instructor of the squadron, when he first arrived. In December 2019, Xue Jun, who had just taken up his new post, discovered a "strange phenomenon" in the unit: when organizing the 400-meter obstacle course training, due to the cold weather, the training enthusiasm of the soldiers was not high, and even the backbone of the squad leader was retreating. "Who to train on such a cold day, don't hurt a few more, it's not good..." As soon as they began to assemble, several warriors began to whisper.

Xue Jun, who had just arrived, saw everyone's thoughts, so he was the first to stand at the starting point during training, and in the face of everyone's gaze, he tried his best to run the whole distance. After the run, hot sweat met cold air, and a layer of mist beads formed on his forehead and eyebrows. Gu couldn't wipe it, and he immediately asked how his grades were. Although the weather was cold, his final result was 15 seconds faster than excellent. Looking at the seriousness of the instructors, the backbone of the squad leader also stood up one by one, and ignited the atmosphere of the training ground in the competition with each other.

Afterwards, Xue Jun emotionally said to the officers and men: "Comrades, I know that our unit is located in a remote area, and our training superior leaders cannot see it, but the training is for us to train ourselves. After the training and assessment of our cadre backbone first! Xue Jun's actions set an example for officers and soldiers. Under his inspiration, the officers and men of the whole squadron were also full of energy on the training ground, and the various training results gradually walked in the forefront of the detachment.

On the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea that year, Li Yannian encountered a very difficult political work problem: how to deal with the little Anton who "deserted" before the war. Some time ago, Xue Jun also encountered a difficult problem: While helping the soldiers to correct the political education books, the careful Xue Jun found a small note sandwiched in the political education notebook, which turned out to be a page of diary written by the soldier Xiao Zhang, which was full of negative thoughts. In the process of talking with other soldiers, Xue Jun learned about the causes and consequences of the incident: Xiao Zhang, after being transferred to the new unit, has not achieved satisfactory results in training because of his own reasons, has not been praised and affirmed by the cadres and backbones, and feels that he has no future in the army. After that, Xiao Zhang began to choose to "lie flat", and the training has been muddy, and his words are full of complaints.

In the face of such ideological problems, xue jun keenly grasped that Xiao Zhang was very face-saving, and was particularly eager for praise and encouragement from others. So he mobilized all the backbone of the squad leader to discover Xiao Zhang's advantages in training, work, life and other aspects, and praised them in a timely manner. With the help of his comrades-in-arms step by step, Xiao Zhang also slowly felt the warmth of the big family of the military camp, and since then he has bid farewell to the "Buddhist system" and refused to "lie flat", and has become a "training pacesetter" of the squadron step by step by relying on his efforts.

Each soldier has his own shortcomings and strengths, using his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses can fully mobilize the enthusiasm and subjective initiative of the soldiers, just like Li Yannian, with respect and encouragement, the whole company of soldiers will be transformed into combat heroes one by one. Non-commissioned officer Xiao Liu, who had been the training top of the squadron before, after the physical injury of the previous year, saw many hospitals and did not fully recover, the psychological burden was very large, and often did not participate in the exercise class because of injury and illness. Slowly, some comrades-in-arms thought that Xiao Liu was a small illness and a big nurse, moaning without illness, and deliberately evaded training. But Xue Jun did not think so, not only often inquired about Xiao Liu's condition, took the initiative to talk about counseling, but also sought medical treatment for him everywhere.

One day Xiao Liu took the initiative to find Xue Jun, in the process of conversation, Xiao Liu shed tears, he said: "Instructor, thank you for not treating me as a 'problem soldier' of the bubble disease number, you know my situation best, no matter what position I am in, I will do my best to play my role." In the subsequent training, Xiao Liu began to insist on training with the team and began to recover bit by bit.

Ideological work follows the rules and induces, military skills are proficient, and the examination competition takes the lead in charging... How can such grassroots political work cadres not win the heartfelt trust of officers and men? "Action is a silent command!" "There are no soldiers, only soldiers with bad soldiers!" These two "big truths" summed up by Xue Jun in his work have also become classic "quotations" for political instructors in the hearts of officers and men.
