He is China's first horse, escorting the diplomacy of a big country for 8 years, and performing more than 700 state guest escort tasks without mistakes, how did he become the first horse?

On September 3, 2015, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Tiananmen Square held a grand military parade, and the first person to pass and accept the parade was Wang Lei, who was the first cavalry of China.

Wang Lei and 45 members of the State Guest Guard, wearing the State Guest Guard dress, wearing black boots on their feet, wearing a white multi-functional helmet, riding a white motorcycle, the engine roared, and the State Guest Guard began to ride in an inverted V, which was the first time that the State Guest Guard appeared in the military parade since its restoration and reconstruction in 2013.

The state guest escort escort escorted one after another state guest car, and the convertible cars behind them were all anti-war veterans, the families of martyrs, and the former models.

Especially as the leading goose Wang Lei, but also the leader of the state guest escort team, in the minds of all the team members, Wang Lei is their walking model, Wang Lei escort diplomacy for 8 years, has carried out more than 700 state guest escort tasks, but there has never been a mistake, how did Wang Lei do it?

Wang Lei was born in 1989, is a native of Beijing, in 1999, Wang Lei's father took him to Tiananmen Square, watched the military parade, 10-year-old Wang Lei saw the growing strength of the motherland, when he saw those tall uncles of the People's Liberation Army, his heart was firm in his heart to become a soldier.

Later, with the support of his parents, he went to the Armed Police Command College, when he graduated in 2013, just when the mainland began to resume and rebuild the state guest escort, Wang Lei learned that he was very excited to register, and he was also smoothly assigned, but their selection conditions were very harsh, and among the tens of thousands of soldiers who signed up, only 68 soldiers were left in the end, less than 1.82 meters tall, overweight, unqualified body shape, and many people have been eliminated by the most basic alone.

This is not the final selection, it will take a year of training, as long as there is a little problem, it may be eliminated at any time, the state guest escort team looks very handsome on the surface, but behind this is countless heartache and blood and tears in exchange.

The man in front of him with a straight and dashing posture is Wang Lei, the male god of China's first iron riding heavenly regiment, Wang Lei from the beginning of entering the state guest escort team, he has been the first in everything, and it is the most basic training of the team members, that is, pushing a motorcycle to run 5 kilometers, for normal people, 5 kilometers is not a small project, let alone pushing a motorcycle running with a weight of more than 500 kilograms.

But if you want to control the motorcycle of the state escort and make it run stably, this is a compulsory course for soldiers, during which you must maintain the posture of holding the handlebar, even if you are trembling all over your body, you have no strength to insist, because once you fail the test, you are likely to be eliminated.

Wang Lei was the only cadre among these people at the beginning, and he was still a party member, he had to make himself the best one, and soon Wang Lei ushered in an opportunity, the state guest escort team held a motorcycle pushing competition, Wang Lei made up his mind to get the first place, and sure enough, after the competition, he got the first place.

At first, Wang Lei could not even ride a motorcycle, and later he practiced snake-like driving, turning the "8" word, 50 meters of rapid starting, fixed-point parking and other difficult skills, and then Wang Lei became the head car of the state guest escort team with excellent quality, Wang Lei always demanded himself with the highest standards, I don't know how many times he has fallen, how many times he has failed to practice today's skills.

Wang Lei's body is full of scars left by falling cars, legs and hands are also full of scars, especially during their practice, almost two days to wear a tire, a week to wear a pair of gloves, during this period he is more innovative rail, water cup, pile obstacle and other training methods, and also summarized the know-how of riding a motorcycle: the arms are relaxed and naturally straight, the head is straight and the legs are clamped, the combination of people and cars is stable, and the control essentials of easy clutching and slow oil are combined.

At the end of each training, Wang Lei's body was stiff, especially the shoes were full of water, and when he lay in bed every night, he felt that his body was not his own, but even so, they continued to push the motorcycle the next day, in fact, the spring and autumn days were fine, and the most difficult ones were summer and winter.

In the summer, the outdoor temperature reached more than thirty degrees, especially the team members, are wearing heavy helmets to train, training in the hot sun, the temperature inside the helmet is as high as forty degrees, especially the team members have to clamp the motorcycle with their legs, just the position of the engine, the temperature is as high as more than 100 degrees, at the end of each training, the soldiers' legs are hot, and the riding boots they wear are also full of water.

In the winter, the outdoor temperature is tens of degrees below zero, and the soldiers are basically wearing spring and autumn clothes for the sake of image, when they are on a mission outside, and every time they are frozen and numb, and because of this, many officers and soldiers suffer from rheumatism and arthritis.

They are China's most handsome male gods, is the mobile honor guard, guard the diplomacy of the great powers, is China's first diplomatic landscape, for the members of the state guest escort, this is not the most difficult, the most difficult is to pick up objects in the riding, requiring the team members to bend down to pick up at a speed of 60 to 80 kilometers per hour, 1 meter from the ground suspicious objects to complete the action of bending down to pick up, backhand grasping, avoiding projectiles and other actions.

At first, the items they picked up were school bags, mineral water bottles, etc., and later they became pens, bullets and coins.

In order to ensure that there is no accident on the scene, when they train, the speed is required to be between 80 and 100 kilometers per hour, it can be said that when practicing this subject, no soldier did not fall, and some were very badly bruised after falling on the knee, and there were many soldiers' hands, after taking off the gloves, it can be said that the blood soaked the entire gloves.

It is in this kind of training day after day, in 2015, 45 state guest escorts appeared in Tiananmen Square, they rode motorcycles to escort the anti-war veterans, martyrs' families and former models and other people, 45 soldiers rode motorcycles, upright posture walked through Tiananmen Square, this is the first time the state guest escort appeared in the military parade, although they only appeared for 5 minutes, but for these 5 minutes, they have been closed training for a full 8 months.

And this time is also a very big challenge, they must maintain the formation and spacing, while maintaining a speed of 10 kilometers, the first time in the mainland military parade, but also broke the limit parameters of two-wheeled motorcycles, in the words of the factory technician: this difficulty is no less than the acrobats walking the tightrope, to be precise, riding a motorcycle on the tightrope.

There are two walls in the station of the State Guest Guard that are very special, one is the tire wall and the other is the glove wall, these are the gloves and worn tires worn by the soldiers, and it can be said that every soldier has left his own sweat on and on it.

The State Guest Guard is the first Chinese army that foreign guests have stepped into China and seen, and in addition to ensuring the safety of foreign heads of state and government, they also represent the image of the country and the military, so every time they carry out their mission, they must take it seriously and not have a single flaw.

Every appearance of the state guest escort is the focus of the world's attention, and each escort has won the honor of the motherland and demonstrated the prestige, style and status of a big country.

And there is also a point of pride that the motorcycles used by the state guest escorts are completely independently developed and manufactured by the mainland, and the cars taken by many foreign heads of state are also independently produced and manufactured by the mainland, and today's mainland is no longer the backward us that we once were, and now we are a country that has shocked the world.
