In 2011, after 28 years of service, only two years away from retirement, a retired military veteran resolutely applied for a military transfer. His military career began in 1983, when the allowance was only 10 yuan per month, but it did not stop him from pursuing his military dream. After graduating from military school in 1987, he served as a platoon commander and officer, and in the years that followed, he was transferred to different units several times in various officer positions. In 1996, he was transferred to a research institute near his hometown, where he worked diligently for 14 years.
When he has met the retirement conditions, the retired soldier still chooses to change jobs on his own initiative, and does not want to become a retired veteran under the fence. After the Spring Festival, he successfully found his first job in a private enterprise as a manager of the company by submitting his resume. Although he left the company soon after due to internal problems, this did not discourage him and instead looked for a new job opportunity again. So, he joined a property company as a vice president, but left a year later due to a business dispute. Soon after, he joined an education group as an assistant to the boss and assistant manager of the publicity department, and despite the relatively low salary, his enthusiasm and dedication to his work did not change.
After experiencing several ups and downs in the workplace, he joined a new materials company through the introduction of his comrades-in-arms as an assistant to the chairman and received better treatment. He worked in a variety of fields in the company, not only in management work, but also in the training of military cadres who choose their own jobs. However, as the company struggled financially, the wage issues he faced gradually surfaced. Not resigned to the status quo, he began to look for new job opportunities again, and eventually returned to the old army where he had served, responsible for news and propaganda work, and became a special correspondent for the army newspaper. Here, his salary gradually increased, and he received several commendations, as well as the qualification of a member of the provincial writers' association.
By contacting the Veterans Affairs Bureau, this retired soldier successfully recruited a group of military cadres who chose their own jobs to return to work in the army, injecting new vitality and strength into his old unit. His military career is full of struggle and belief in progress, and his story also gives people a deeper understanding of perseverance and hard work.
