In this issue: Family letters and photos in drawers
Author: Anyi Fire Rescue Station Yue Jingquan
The wheel of time slowly moves forward, and life is still methodically unfolding on the established track. After the north-south exchange and study, I returned to my original unit to continue working, and when I was sorting out my desk in my spare time, I found that the housekeeping box contained a letter from ten years ago and a very meaningful photo.
In 2011, three months after I entered the university, my father and brother joined the army, and my family has always been interested in letting me follow this path. At that time, "Soldier Assault" was popular on major platforms, and the image of many "silly roots" and the sentence "Meaningful is to live well, and to live well is to do meaningful things", which made me more fascinated by the life of the troops. In December, I walked into the gate of the Nanjing Teaching Brigade with my suitcase, and the cold and bone-chilling weather and well-organized playground discipline made me a little uncomfortable, but looking at the safflower flowers I wore on my chest and the photos my family took before I joined the army, I gritted my teeth and determined to stick to it and not embarrass my family. Under the patient guidance and strict training of the squad leader, I mastered all the basic requirements such as basic queue movements, basic physical skills, and one-day life system, and also greatly tempered the quality of personal will, laying a solid foundation for me to better participate in the work of the squadron in the follow-up.
When I was in the new company, I heard that the special service team was a very good squadron, with excellent cadres, squad leader backbones, advanced equipment, vehicle equipment, fitness equipment, training facilities, strict team management, and the excellent style of daring to fight and win. I also hope that I can exercise my strong physique in this large group, skillfully operate equipment and equipment, master fire fighting and rescue technical skills, cultivate a strong work style and courageous fighting spirit, and become a special agent who can stand up to the top in fire fighting and rescue and on the competition field like the squad leaders. However, how can the path of life be as smooth as the script, not long after the team, under the high-intensity physical skills training and strict team management, I just walked directly from the university campus into the police camp I was a bit unable to keep up with the rhythm of the squadron, coupled with my relatively introverted personality, long-term depression in my heart led to my a little discomfort. I vaguely remember the scene of the first time I called my father, and I couldn't stop crying without saying a few words. When I was a child, I compared my father to a cloud, always feeling that he was near and far away, uncertain, so my father was absent-minded in giving me guidance on the phone, until one afternoon the guard told me that I had a letter, and I was surprised to see the sender and address, because now mobile phone calls are very developed, my father's education level is not high, and he only wrote letters in the army before, but he re-wrote this family letter for me. It was also the only letter my father had ever written to me. Opening the letter and looking at the staggered line spacing and crooked handwriting, mixed with many typos, I read the letter word by word with tears in my eyes, and my heart was full of mixed feelings. In the letter, my father used his experience in the military to tell me that I must do a good job and be willing to endure hardships, that we must persist in training, that grassroots experience is very important, that we must overcome difficulties, and that we must have the "spirit of nails" like Lei Feng. My father patiently helped me open the knot in this way of family letters, let me feel the hardships of the previous generation from the military, and also strengthened my belief in overcoming difficulties and continuing to forge ahead. There is a kind of love that spreads silently and invisibly, and a letter from my father helped me successfully pass the initial stage of fire rescue work.
Later, through hard work, I finally became a cadre of the fire grass-roots squadron, and in the early stage of my appointment, I was not accurate about the way and intensity of the work carried out in unfamiliar posts, and the situation of one foot deep and one foot shallow often appeared, coupled with little understanding of the new team station, I encountered more difficulties, confusions, and contradictions. Returning home with doubts at work and seeing that I was depressed and sad, my father-in-law, as a "veteran" who had worked in the fire fighting and rescue command post for more than twenty years, would also give me some work guidance before and after tea. And my father often taught me that as a grassroots team station cadre, we must always keep in mind our main responsibility, fight a prepared battle, be familiar with the performance and efficiency of the vehicles on duty at the station, be familiar with the post ability of each firefighter, achieve a reasonable division of labor, and have the ability to organize the team station vehicle personnel according to different types of accidents. Be familiar with the basic situation and the type of accident of the most uneasy unit in the jurisdiction, be with the brothers on the front line in the process of fire fighting and rescue, where there is a water gun position, where there must be your figure, and do your best to bring the brothers back safely. Due to work reasons, I usually go back relatively little, and the big and small things in the family are solved by my father, which also smooths out my worries and allows me to work with peace of mind at the team station. My father's earnest teaching to me was like a bright light, guiding me to clarify the focus and direction of my work on the road of fire fighting and fire fighting and rescue.
Later, by chance, I got a picture of my father organizing fire fighting at the fire scene. This photo has always been treasured by me in the desk drawer, whenever I encounter difficulties in work, when the work motivation is insufficient, I will open the drawer to look at the photo, see the older generation of firefighters thrown into the fire rescue figure, thinking of their youth for the cause of fire rescue, the fear of difficulties and fatigue in my heart will disappear, continue to be full of vitality to devote themselves to work.
A yellowed family letter, an ordinary photo, is the inheritance of olive green to flame blue, but also the handover of the older generation of firefighters and fire rescue personnel in the new period, inheriting the honor and medal of the ancestors, undertaking the glorious mission of the flame blue of this era, and continuing to forge ahead!
