Article guide: The passage of time and the change of allowance figures have witnessed the life experience of a generation of soldiers and the development of the country. This article will delve into the changes during this time and how veterans feel.
In January 1973, I embarked on the journey of my military career. At that time, for many young people, military life was an unknown territory full of longing. Although the monthly military salary is only 6 yuan, for us, those salaries represent an honor, a responsibility for the country. That meager $6 is not just money, but also our oath, part of our contribution to the country. Every allowance accompanies our hard work, sweat and loyalty, forming the starting point of our military career.
However, time never stands still. As the years went by, the standard of allowances gradually increased, reflecting the continuous development of the country and respect for military personnel. In the fourth year, our allowance went up to $7, in the fifth year it was $8, and in the sixth year it was $10. This change not only improves our standard of living, but also boosts our self-confidence, proving that our efforts have not been forgotten.
However, the biggest changes are yet to come. When we were promoted and promoted, we enjoyed a higher level of treatment, and the basic salary reached 52 yuan, plus the regional subsidy, and the monthly subsidy in Kunming increased by another 2 yuan. However, at this point we began to wonder, why is our subsidy only 5 cents? Although the total is 52 yuan and 5 jiao, this seems a little insignificant compared to before. While other military personnel in the region enjoyed up to 42 yuan, we couldn't help but wonder, did our dedication get what we deserved?
Today, the military age allowance for rural veterans has become the standard of "54 yuan for every soldier for one year". This number seems higher than before, but in the hearts of veterans, it arouses a trace of dissatisfaction. We look back and see the increase in subsidies year by year, and we see that the country is rich and strong, but today's subsidies do not seem to meet our expectations. We don't enlist for money, but money is also a recognition of our dedication. With the 54 yuan subsidy, we feel unsatisfactory, which is not greed, but an expectation of our own sacrifice, a trust in the country and the military.
The duty of a military is not just for money. We are the guardians of national security, loyal defenders who stand our ground, and work hard for the happiness of our families, loved ones and society. However, the evolution of allowances also reflects society's attitude and respect for military personnel. Whenever the country's economy prospered, whenever national defense was needed, we always stood on the front line and did not flinch. We do not ask for luxury, but we also hope that the country will understand our efforts and hard work and give us the respect we deserve.
We are not complaining, we are calling. We call on the state to treat military personnel more reasonably and reflect our values. The state has sufficient resources and responsibilities, not only to meet minimum standards, but also to give military personnel due respect and honor. We are not asking for high allowances, but we hope that the state will be more concerned about our lives and solve our practical difficulties.
Soldiers are not only the guardians of the country, but also the role models and role models of society. Our loyalty, discipline and dedication deserve to be learned and respected by every citizen. Therefore, the State should be treated more generously, which is not only a moral righteousness, but also a social responsibility.
Looking back, the monthly allowance of 6 yuan that year, we feel very satisfied, because it represents the recognition and honor of the country. Today's 54 yuan subsidy, although the figure is higher, makes us feel unsatisfactory, because we want the country to cherish our dedication and sacrifice more. We are soldiers, loyal defenders of the country, and role models for society. The state should give us more respect and care, not only in numbers, but also as an understanding and support for military personnel.
Finally, the current 54 yuan may just be a number, but it represents the persistence and dedication of a generation of soldiers. I hope that in the years to come, this number will become more satisfactory, because retired soldiers will always deserve our respect and care.
