The story of Lu Wuqiangjun | My name is Xue Zhong...

Text/Figure 🖊 Sui Mengzhe Teng Long Li Luchuan

"Distinguished leaders, dear comrades-in-arms, good evening, my name is Xue Zhongzhong, from Kaifeng, Henan. I had a lot of experience before I joined the army, and when I was in college, I started a beauty shop and a clothing store, but they all went out of business...

The above passage is the self-introduction I made at the squadron's welcome party when I came to a squadron of the Qingdao detachment of the Armed Police. At that time, the comrades who joined the army with me in the audience all laughed after listening to my introduction, and as soon as they laughed, I knew what they wanted to express, which made me laugh a little on the stage... After the training of the recruit company day and night, we have already formed a tacit understanding between each other.

Speaking of this, I think everyone has also noticed my name, from enlistment to now, many comrades-in-arms are curious about me, why is it called the name "Central", every time I answer I will proudly tell them, my father's grandfather, that is, my grandfather, was an underground party worker in the revolutionary war years, and my grandfather was a professor at Peking University when he was young, they are all old party members who have struggled for the cause of the party all their lives, and my father gave me this name in the hope that I can be like my ancestors. Contribute your strength to the cause of the Party and always follow the steps of the Party Central Committee!

It is not difficult to see from the name my father gave me that he had high expectations of me. I have also been working hard, hoping to be able to match my parents' expectations through my own practical actions. To this end, I bravely opened my entrepreneurial path during college...

I started a clothing store selling some fashionable clothes, but for various reasons, it didn't last long... After that, I partnered with my classmates to open a beauty shop, but because of the conflict of ideas between our partners, the beauty shop eventually closed...

It can be said that although I had a lot of experience before joining the army, there was no lack of taste of failure. I am not afraid of failure, because I always believe that all failed experiences will become a stepping stone for me in the future, which is why I dare to tell everyone about my previous experiences when introducing myself. At the same time, I was tired of failure and longed for a fresh start. Therefore, it also strengthened my determination to join the army, even if I chose to enlist in the army.

Ever since the moment I submitted my application for enlistment, a seed of meritorious service in the army has been quietly planted in my heart. After three months of training in the recruit company, I came to the current squadron, and then I had the opening paragraph of self-introduction.

At the beginning of the next company, the squadron was full of freshness everywhere, the careful care of the cadres, the delicious food guarantee, and the fully functional various warehouses... All of this made me feel the warmth of home in the first winter of the army.

Unfortunately, the novelty will always fade away, just as the honeymoon period of newlyweds will always pass. The day-to-day, repetitive work made me feel a little tired. Thinking about the vigorous stories that my father told me about my great-grandfather, and then looking at these small things in front of me, I was suddenly discouraged, and I felt that what I was doing was really far away from the goal of building a successful career...

The confusion of thought is bound to manifest itself in action. In the most recent 3,000-meter assessment organized by the squadron, I ran to the bottom this time, which has always been excellent. Such a noticeable decline in training results caught the attention of the platoon leader, who told him of my distress when he talked to me. After listening, the platoon leader told me a truth, "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't go thousands of miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become a river and a sea." Even the greatest cause is composed of one small job after another, and the platoon leader also encouraged me with the deeds of my grandfather, telling me: "As long as you are doing your own work in a down-to-earth manner now, and doing a good job in your daily cultivation, you are taking a solid step forward in the journey of meritorious service." ”

Finally, the platoon leader said to me: "Central, each of us lives in an ordinary world, there are not so many vigorous events in this world, but only those who can maintain a strong fighting spirit in ordinary life are the strong people in life and the people who have the potential to achieve a career." I hope you don't live up to your family's expectations of you. ”

The words of the platoon leader were like a stream, slowly taking away the troubles and sorrows in my heart. Now I am dressed in camouflage, carrying a steel gun on my shoulders, stepping on a three-foot sentry position, and holding the sun, moon, and stars above my head.

On the training ground, I'm not the most talented one, but I must be the one who sweats the most; in the study room, I'm not the most educated, but I must be the one with the most neat notes.

Because I understand that now standing on every shift, taking every class, polishing every tile, and doing every little thing well is following the footsteps of my ancestors, practicing my original mission, and writing a wonderful chapter in my military career!
