A game of chess that has not been completed
Huang Zihong
In the early morning of August 4, as soon as I opened my mobile phone, an obituary came into my eyes:
"I am sad to inform everyone that Xu Zhengyang left us in Beijing on July 29, 2021, and has returned to his homeland with the company of his family.
He is a good student with tenacity and self-motivation, and he has the honor of entering the North Shadow to purify his soul; he is a warm-blooded boy with a heart for the country, and he has no hesitation in entering the Tibetan side; he is a grateful soldier who picks up the camera and works with his comrades-in-arms to "Climb the Peak" on the top of the mountain...
Falling to the ground, born like a summer flower, after 23 years, it has left like an autumn leaf.
This heart is bright, and it is also true.
May he be all right in the New World.
Wednesday, August 4, 2021"
I couldn't believe my eyes.
In my impressions and memories, Xu Zhengyang, what a youthful and splendid, vivid, cheerful and lively warrior! The sunny smile, the alert mind, the sharp eloquence, the fullness of talent, are all focused on his thin body without exception.
Back in June 2017, when he was a freshman at the Beijing Film Academy, Zhengyang thought that he had always grown up in the city, grew up in a single-parent family, and relied on his mother for his life, but he did not suffer much since he was a child, and needed a different way of growing up to rewrite and eradicate his innate squeamishness and vulnerability; coupled with the "lower life" that the older generation of film artists talked about, that is, to experience life.
When he first signed up for the army, his personal intention was the Air Force or the Navy, and in the middle of June, a short video about the bloodiness of border guards deeply shocked and moved him. He believed that since they had all been soldiers for two years, they should go to more difficult and remote places to be baptized.
Therefore, he secretly changed the volunteer "air force" and "navy" into two "hardship area troops" and came to a certain border defense department at an altitude of 3782 meters.
In the year of the first-class soldiers, Zhengyang overdrafted his own discharge fees, actively exerted his professional expertise, and prepared a micro-film based on his post, "Dengfeng" was adapted from the real story of the international military competition, self-written and self-directed, the picture was quite shocking, so that every audience felt blood boiling and full of pride.
Near the end of the film, jia rui, played by him, was unsuccessful in the international military competition, and when he played chess with his rival and comrade-in-arms of the same year, Baima Dorji, the other party was informed to participate in the competition. They agreed to wait for Dorji to return and continue playing chess.
To this day, I can still clearly remember that in the sunshine on the border of the plateau, despite the wind and dust, he was still full of energy, a bright smile, and a veritable name - the sunshine was just right, enjoying the bright sunshine.
It's just that, in real life, that game of chess that has not been played will be an eternal memory.
