There is a kind of responsibility called retrograde, and there is a kind of power called spiritual inheritance. In the battlefield of fighting the new crown pneumonia epidemic, a number of "father and son soldiers", "brother soldiers" and "husband and wife files" have emerged in our city, who are both relatives and comrades-in-arms, and they all have a common identity - retired soldiers. Leaving the army, taking off the uniform, it is the battlefield, and what remains unchanged is the original intention and the mission on the shoulders. They use practical actions to interpret the true colors of soldiers who do not retire from the army, do not retire when retiring, and do not change their hearts when they change their clothes.
"Father and Son Soldiers" Work Together to Fight the "Epidemic"
In the early spring, the White Mountains are warm and cold, and the wind outside blows on the windows, but it can't stop the busy footsteps of fathers and sons.
On March 19, the city carried out a two-level nucleic acid testing drill in the urban area as planned. When the sky first brightened, Xu Congbao, deputy secretary of the party branch of the Municipal Veterans Service Center, had already put on his battle suit and turned into a "big white", waiting at the drill site in the Tienan New Town Community.
The comrades upstairs began to test for nucleic acid, prepared id cards, health codes, wore masks, and maintained a five-meter line before and after, Xu Congbao's voice and repeated words resounded throughout the corridors and communities.
Xu Congbao, who joined the army in 1986. Today, although he has retired from the army and changed his profession, in the face of this new crown pneumonia epidemic battle without smoke, he has stepped forward and become a volunteer to rush to the forefront of the fight against the epidemic. He replaced steel guns with pamphlets and trumpets to show off veteran style on the new battlefield.
This time, among his many comrades-in-arms, there was also his son Xu Qingzhong, who joined the army like his ambitions. At the same time, Xu Qingzhong was wearing the "olive green" coat he used to be a soldier and wearing the volunteer armband of the Jiangbei Public Security Bureau, waiting for orders in the Rainbow Home Community early.
Before performing the task of maintaining order, Xu Qingzhong's classmates took a photo of him
In the nucleic acid test drill on the same day, the father and son soldiers undertook the same task, focusing on cooperating with community workers to maintain the order of the nucleic acid test drill site. Their voices were hoarse, their clothes were soaked, but they were still holding their posts. On the day of the drill, the "father and son soldiers" and the staff cooperated with each other to ensure that more than 4,400 residents of the two communities successfully completed nucleic acid testing and sampling. They use practical actions to practice the true character of veterans who do not retire.
"Husband and wife stalls" stand shoulder to shoulder on the front line
There is such a family, husband Jiang Peng and lover Li Yuling once served together. After changing careers, the two worked in the office of the Municipal Party Committee Establishment Committee, the Organ Establishment Section and the Construction Section of the Municipal Law Commission. After the outbreak of the anti-"epidemic" war in our province this year, the two people put aside their care and concern for the children, and at the same time threw themselves into the epidemic prevention work, sacrificing the small family for everyone, the couple interpreted the feelings of home and country with actions that everyone has a small family, and used practical actions to practice the Zhengzheng oath that if there is a war move, they will return.
In 2022, as a new outbreak of COVID-19 spreads in the province, their sensible 14-year-old daughter takes on the task of caring for her seven-year-old son. This makes the couple who are fighting in the front line of the fight against the "epidemic" forget their fatigue and feel very relieved, and also make them firmly confident to defeat the epidemic. Over the past few days, in accordance with the work tasks assigned by their respective units, the couple has sunk to the community to stand guard and go into the house to check (return) the white personnel. For them, leaving the army, taking off their uniforms and standing guard, it is only a battlefield, and what remains unchanged is the mission and responsibility on their shoulders. Most of the residential buildings in the community belonging to the couple's sinking Xiyuan community are mainly multi-storey, and Jiang Peng suffers from severe waist prolapse, and it is natural to climb stairs during household inspection. Downstairs, beads of sweat also quietly climbed up Jiang Peng's forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on walking through all the households, ensuring that no one was left behind and no one was missed. All this made Li Yuling, who was both his comrade-in-arms and his wife, see it in her eyes and hurt in her heart. "There is no mountain that cannot be turned over, there is no obstacle that cannot be crossed, as long as everyone holds hands, they can overcome everything." Li Yuling repeated this sentence over and over again in her heart. Cheer for your husband and cheer for your comrades-in-arms.
It is understood that during the knocking operation and nucleic acid test drill in our city, Jiang Peng, Li Yuling, and the "husband and wife file" of the children have cumulatively checked more than 500 households in the Xiyuan community and the construction community, contributing to the unity of the retired soldiers to this battle without gun smoke.
The "brother soldiers" went into battle with the retrograde
In the White Mountains, there are such twin brothers who have joined the army and retired from the army. In the battle against the "epidemic", the "brother soldiers" disregarded their personal safety, charged the front line, and added luster to volunteer service with practical actions. The pair of "brother soldiers" are the older brother Zhang Baoxiang and the younger brother Zhang Shaoxiang. After retiring from the army in 2006, the two worked at Shixingtai Group Co., Ltd. and Banshi Mining Co., Ltd. respectively. At the beginning of 2022, the new crown pneumonia epidemic was raging, and as a brother soldier of the veteran, he took the initiative to invite him to the community to participate in the volunteer service work of epidemic prevention and control, and fought until the victory of epidemic prevention and control. In March this year, a new round of epidemic outbreaks in the province, the "brother soldiers" once again gave up their small homes and cared for everyone, went deep into the battlefield, and contacted the Bei'an community in Jiangbei Street for the first time, and actively applied for the battle.
Since March 16, Zhang Baoxiang has been involved in the elimination of buildings in the community, the cleaning up of abandoned medical waste, the door-to-door nucleic acid testing of auxiliary staff, knocking on doors, and checking residents' information. The younger brother Zhang Shaoxiang is responsible for the maintenance of the order of the residents' nucleic acid testing site, and the rest of the time he has to go to crowded places to distribute masks to residents who do not wear masks, and remind past residents to do a good job of self-protection. Zhang Baoxiang said: "In this war and epidemic, we are brothers and comrades-in-arms. At present, it is our unshirkable responsibility and mission to charge forward as veterans.
Wherever there is a need, there are brothers and soldiers. On March 27, in the battle against the epidemic, Zhang Shaoxiang, who had been fighting for 6 consecutive days, turned to the task of supporting the supply of daily necessities in Changchun, and took on the task of sorting and packing vegetables with volunteers in our city. At present, the vegetables supplied have arrived in Changchun and entered the homes of citizens.
The gathering is a fire, and the scattering is full of stars. "Father and son soldiers", "brother soldiers", "husband and wife files", they talk about dedication, have responsibility, in this war without smoke of gunfire, with practical actions to continue the style of the military, practice the "if there is a war, the recruitment will return" Zhengzheng oath.
