Defending one's home and country, enlisting in the army is an honorable act.
Being able to dedicate one's own strength to the country and the people is a consciousness that every Chinese person should have.
However, when joining the army, you must also have full psychological preparation, after all, the life of the army is not normal, and there will be many dangerous items during training.
This is what the life of the troops must go through, and it is also a major feature of it.
There are also many different functional departments in the army, such as logistics, technology, research and development, civilian positions, etc., as the saying goes, the most important thing is to suit yourself, you must consider clearly when signing up for the army, and it is also very important to choose a suitable branch of the army.
With a certain road plan, it is necessary to put it into action, which is the right way.
A man with a big smile
After joining the army, there must be some potential risks in the process of training or actual combat, and the protagonist of this case, Du Fuguo, encountered danger in a "real battle", in order to protect his comrades, Du Fuguo lost his eyes and hands, and a handsome and sunny soldier became a serious disability.
"Hello everyone! My name is Du Fuguo and I am 25 years old! The man in the video introduced himself in his loud voice, and then gave a military salute to the camera with a smile on his face. This is an interview with Du Fuguo by a TV station in 2015.
Du Fuguo in the video is dressed in a training uniform, outdoor training gave him bronzed skin, Du Fuguo thick eyebrows, although the skin is not white, but a masculinity is particularly prominent on his body, Du Fuguo is a handsome and sunny big boy.
But what surprised everyone was what happened to Du Fuguo in three years.
On the afternoon of October 11, 2018, Du Fuguo accompanied the troops to participate in the third demining mission of the China-Vietnam border, and due to historical reasons, a lot of explosives remained at the border between the two countries.
Most of these explosives are mine devices and many artillery grenades, which would be fine if they were remote areas inaccessible, but if the remnants of war were near the villages where the villagers lived, they would have a great impact on their daily lives.
The place where Du Fuguo's troops will carry out their tasks this time is a minefield left over from the war, and the location of this minefield is not far from a village, many people in the village have been injured by explosives, and many people have become mutilated by hands or feet.
The local geographical environment is relatively special, there are hillsides and rivers, the geographical environment is complex, so it is impossible to use a large-scale one-time demining method for demining, and can only be manually cleared by professional personnel.
This task is very arduous, in the human factor has a lot of influence, first of all, deminers must have qualified vision, but also have a strong psychological quality, at least can not panic and tremble during mine clearance, panic and trembling is a normal reaction of all people to the danger, but it is necessary to have a strong psychological quality to suppress physiological response, which is the basic requirement of a qualified demining personnel.
In addition, deminers are required to have a certain degree of expertise, there are many models of mines or other dangerous goods, different models have different treatment methods, and even the same model has different treatment methods, and those who placed mines in the past will also consider that there may be sappers to remove the mine, so the mine will be modified.
At this time, deminers need to have enough experience to deal with on-site emergencies, in short, the personal factors of the staff are very large.
As Du Fuguo himself said, "We can be trained to work because our results are all excellent, and we all know that there are only two results in this work, either successful demining or failed demining, and reality will not give us other scores." ”
In addition to human factors, there are many objective factors, for example, deminers have to wear explosion-proof suits weighing tens of kilograms to carry out operations, the weather in the south is hot, and the workers are so thick and heavy, even if they lie on the ground, they will sweat, not to mention the impact on the intense demining operations.
As mentioned earlier, those who plant mines may have their own "traps", but some mines even have their own anti-handling devices, which are commonly known as "trick devices", such as the most widely used Soviet T35 and TM46 anti-tank mines and the American M19 anti-tank mines.
The striking device refers to the installation of an auxiliary fuse in addition to the fuse of the ordinary mine, in the hidden place of the mine body, which will be detonated when the demining engineer is normally cleared, which will greatly increase the difficulty of the work of the deminer and bring higher danger.
Help your comrades in danger
On this day, Du Fuguo and his comrade-in-arms Ai Yan were assigned to the same group, Ai Yan joined the army a few years later than Du Fuguo, and Du Fuguo took great care of such a comrade-in-arms on weekdays, probably partly because Du Fuguo himself had two younger brothers, and Du Fuguo saw his brother's shadow in Ai Yan.
Du Fuguo joined the army in 2010, and is currently a first-class sergeant of a mine-sweeping and explosive disposal brigade of the Army in the southern theater of the city, Du Fuguo knows that his experience is more sophisticated, when Du Fuguo saw Ai Yan's hesitant look when he cleared the mine, Du Fuguo immediately said to Ai Yan: "You come down first, I'll go up!" ”
Just as Du Fuguo climbed next to the mine to check whether the mine had trick devices, a loud bang was heard, and the sound echoed in the valley for a long time.
Du Fuguo's comrades-in-arms knew that something had happened to their comrades-in-arms, because when they were performing their tasks to clear mines, they would not detonate them without authorization, and they would concentrate and destroy these explosives together.
Du Fuguo's comrades-in-arms immediately contacted the ambulance, and they immediately ran to Du Fuguo's side, Du Fuguo on the ground was wearing a heavy explosion-proof suit, and under Du Fuguo's body, was the unconscious Ai Yan.
The ground has been stained red with Du Fuguo's blood, and his comrades only saw that Du Fuguo's hands have been blown up, and his face is full of blood left from his eyes, Du Fuguo's life and death are unknown at this moment, and his comrade-in-arms can only quickly bandage Du Fuguo to prevent excessive bleeding.
Du Fuguo recalled afterwards: "At that time, I wanted to help Ai Yan check whether the mine had a trick device, and when I looked closer, the mine had already sounded, and I leaned towards Ai Yan at that moment, and then I don't remember anything about what happened." ”
Yes, Ai Yan was protected by Du Fuguo, except for a slight concussion, Ai Yan did not have any injuries on his body, but Du Fuguo lost his eyes and hands because of this, and there were many debris scratches on his body.
Some people will wonder, why are the deminers clearly wearing heavy explosion-proof suits or seriously injured by mines?
This is because explosion-proof suits do not protect the hands of demining soldiers, which is to ensure that the hands of demining soldiers have enough touch and sensitivity, so that they can firmly pinch the copper wire as thin as hair.
There is a piece of explosion-proof glass on the face for protection, but some mines are so powerful that thin explosion-proof glass cannot protect the wearer's face at close range.
The power of mines is very huge, ordinary anti-infantry mines are relatively not high, those anti-tank mines are extremely lethal, but the effect on the human body is the same deadly.
Amazingly strong optimism
Du Fuguo was sent to the hospital for rescue and was out of danger, but he lost his eyes and hands, but later Du Fuguo was not as pessimistic and negative as people imagined, Du Fuguo's mentality did not change much, he was still the sunny and cheerful big boy.
In the face of reporters, Du Fuguo said: "Let's not think more about what we have lost, we have to think more about what we still have, I still have a pair of healthy legs, I still have a pair of sensitive ears, and more importantly, I still have my own beautiful voice!" ”
Du Fuguo's optimism made everyone present feel admiration, and the sunny smile was still on Du Fuguo's face, Du Fuguo is an extremely strong person, and it is not difficult to see from his performance.
When asked by a reporter whether Du Fuguo regretted his decision to help his comrades clear mines, Du Fuguo replied: "Even if it is a thousand times, ten thousand times, I will make the same move, I will also come to clear mines!" ”
He also said: "As a member of the Communist Party, I am ready to sacrifice everything for the Party and the people!" ”
Du Fuguo's spirit of selfless dedication and self-sacrifice deserves the admiration of all of us.
Supreme honor
Du Fuguo was born in Meitan County, Guizhou Province in 1991, his parents are farmers, and his family has two younger brothers and a younger sister, Du Fumin, a doctor in his hometown Meitan County Hospital, who once went to the front line of the fight against the epidemic with his sister Du Fujia.
The younger brother, Du Fuqiang, is a Tibetan border guard who has made more than 30 turns on dangerous patrol roads last week.
Her younger sister Du Fujia, a nurse at the People's Hospital of her hometown county, was once a member of the eighth batch of medical teams in Guizhou Province to aid Hubei, and was awarded the title of "National 38 Red Flag Bearer in the Fight against the New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic".
Du Fuguo was awarded the first class merit by the army on November 18, 2018, and was later named the 2018 Person of the Year Who Moved China.
In 2019, Du Fuguo was awarded the title of National Model of Self-Improvement, and this commendation meeting was held in Beijing, and General Secretary Xi Jinping awarded him a medal.
Due to physical reasons, Du Fuguo could not continue his original job, and later Du Fuguo became an announcer for the military radio program "Voice of the Southern Land".
Du Fuguo still thinks about the demining cause of the motherland, and the choice of this job is also Du Fuguo's initiative, he said: "If I can, I want to learn to broadcast, and then tell the story of mine clearance to more people, so that more people can understand and support mine clearance work." ”
Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and establish a life for the people. Du Fuguo set an example and showed us the image of a Chinese soldier who cares about the people and has high quality.
Du Fuguo, who had joined the army for 10 years, learned that the troops were going to form a mine-sweeping brigade in 15 years, and Du Fuguo, who learned the news, immediately signed up enthusiastically, just as he once said, even if he knew that he might be injured today because of his choice, Du Fuguo would still evaluate his choice.
After being injured, Du Fuguo still insisted on exercising and still insisting on broadcasting work, because he could not see the runway after being blind, Du Fuguo's comrades actively helped Du Fuguo, they ran on both sides of Du Fuguo, Du Fuguo listened to the sound to maintain the running route.
It is true that we cannot ask everyone to be as selfless and fearless as Du Phu Guo, but all of us should have the greatest respect and admiration for such people's heroes.
Many of us have seen the quiet and good years in our eyes, in fact, in many places where we cannot see, there may be a variety of battlefields without gunsmoke, anti-drug police bravely fight drug lords, Henan Metropolitan Channel reporters are suspected of undercover in the northern Myanmar fraud park to show the public the insidious cunning of fraud gangs.
These people are like Du Fuguo, who sacrificed their lives to die for the interests of more people in the most dangerous front, their spirit is worth learning, and the light and warmth emitted by them are the guiding light on the way forward of this era. They are the cutest group of people.
Du Fuguo, who has a sunny smile, has not stopped working and training, and in the days to come, Du Fuguo's life will still play his value and will still become people's hope.
