The editor said: Wu Jiale, a senior soldier of a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps of the Southern Theater, was once a college student. In a fortuitous military-local study and exchange activity, he was impressed by the fortitude and courage of the soldiers attending the meeting, and decided to take the pen from rong and step into the camouflage phalanx to serve the country. In April 2022, her mother sent a family letter in which she encouraged her son to work hard and live up to his youth. Wu Jiale wrote back to the letter, expressing his ambition to build a military camp in the air and the sky.
Senior Soldier Wu Jiale:
What was your first reaction to this title?
Xiao Wu classmate, private soldier Wu Jiale, senior soldier Wu Jiale. The transformation of identity and title records your growth and progress, thinking about the past, and the joy of success.
At 23 years old, you are a vigorous age, and I am more than half a hundred years old. Remember when you were at home, there seemed to be "thousands of troops and horses", as soon as you left, it suddenly became quiet, there was no mess of clothes on the sofa, and there were no unwashed dishes in the small pool... It's a lot neater, but it's also a little more deserted.
I remember one day in June 2020, you suddenly told me you were going to be a soldier. I was both amazed and delighted that what you had been talking to me since childhood had finally come true.
In my memory, I have written you three or four letters. The most impressive thing is your junior year of high school, the coming-of-age ceremony; now you put on the military uniform, like another rite of passage. The army is a melting pot, a hundred refinements can become steel, if the training is not tired, I think there is no progress. I don't think my son is worse than others, comrades can do dozens of push-ups in one go, and you must also work hard to catch up with them. Some time ago, you wore short sleeves and video with me, and saw that your arms were a lot thicker, people were also black, more energetic than when you were at home, handsome a lot...
By the way, my mother received the osmanthus cake sent by you, and received the courier every three or five minutes, so that I sometimes couldn't help but "show off" your warm heart with your aunt, second aunt, and colleagues, and every time I could harvest their full envy and praise. These nuts sent to you are fried at home with your father, and your comrades-in-arms are many, so I specially divided three boxes for you to pack. If you think it's delicious, your mother will send it to you next time.
Mother wants to tell you not to worry about your comrades in some small things, and to take the initiative to reach out to help others. Usual work and training do not care who does more, who does less, young boys, exhausted, sleep and recover.
Military career is like a book, stupid people only know how to read it casually, and smart people will read it carefully. Now that you have opened this book, my mother hopes that you can be down-to-earth every day and make your own contribution to the cause of national defense.
Finally, I wish you all the best, Mom and Dad all the best, don't miss!
Love your mom
Mom:
I haven't seen you for a long time, this is the first time I have written to you, the mountains are high and the water is far away, a family letter, more precious.
After the new training, I was assigned to the car company. In order to improve the driving technology of the car, the unit organized a professional training. In those days, every time I trained, sweat could soak all over my clothes, slimy; over time, my fingers also grinded out a thick cocoon; after the lights went out, I would memorize the support manual, study the theory and regulations, and often rest until the early morning...
Later, I was assigned to the oil row by the company, which is highly professional and has a wide range of relevant theoretical regulations and technical standards. When I first started working in the refueling profession, my theoretical foundation was poor, and I knew little about professional knowledge, often "knowing it but not knowing why it is so". In order to improve my professional level, I made great efforts and suffered a lot before I combined the knowledge I learned in the books with my actual work.
Nowadays, in the process of continuous learning and accumulation, your son has gradually touched the doorway of refueling professionalism.
Mom, I've been in the barracks for more than a year, and during that time I've grown and gained. Don't worry about me, the soldiers will never be alone, the military camp is a melting pot, this has become my new home, comrades from all over the world, they care for me like relatives, let me feel a different kind of warmth.
This year is facing a set of reforms, and I want to "stay" here for a few more years, more than ten years or even twenty years. Because I firmly believe that dedicating my youth and the best time of my life to the motherland and the people is the most magnificent and great cause!
The ferocity of the epidemic at the time is the impermanence of people. The epidemic in your hometown has been repeated in recent days, and you must pay attention to safety and do a good job of personal protection. Don't worry about the money when it's time to spend money, I have transferred this monthly allowance and enlistment benefits to you, and if there is any need, you will tell me again.
