In 1979, I passed the college entrance examination and entered the military school of my dreams.
The first thing I did was stand in front of the gate and take a picture and send it to my parents.
Mother let almost the whole village see this youthful photo.
And I didn't live up to my family's expectations and became a military doctor.
01
In that era full of passion and dreams, 1979 was the most unforgettable time in his life for Lin Xiao, who had just finished the college entrance examination.
In that hot season, he, like other candidates, had dreams and anxiously waited for the day when the college entrance examination results would be released.
In the days after the college entrance examination, Lin Xiao seemed to have experienced a baptism of life.
During the day, he helped his parents with farm work, trying to keep himself busy to ease the anxiety of waiting;
And at night, he lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, constantly replaying the scenes of the exam in his mind, looking forward to and fearing the day of the release of the results.
The village chief's eyes widened, scanning the newspaper from beginning to end, and then raised his head and looked at Lin Xiao with a gaze full of joy.
At that moment, Lin Xiao seemed to hear the most beautiful music, and a wave of heat surged in his heart, and tears rolled in his eyes.
He grabbed the village chief's hand tightly and was speechless with excitement.
On that day, the whole village was boiling. The villagers came to Lin Xiao's house one after another to congratulate Lin Xiao and his parents.
In those days, being able to be admitted to a university, especially a military medical university, was undoubtedly a glorious thing.
Lin Xiao's parents smiled from ear to ear, while Lin Xiao looked at the precious admission letter over and over again, as if to confirm that it was not a dream.
However, after the joy, Lin Xiao also had a trace of worry in his heart.
He knows very well that the pressure and challenges of studying at the military medical university will be very great, and whether he can do it and whether he can become a qualified military doctor is unknown.
But that worry was soon replaced by his vision for the future.
He firmly believes that as long as he works hard, his dream will eventually become a reality.
At the end of that summer, Lin Xiao said goodbye to his hometown and embarked on a journey to the Military Medical University with a vision for the future.
At the train station, he held his mother's hand tightly, looked at his parents' teary eyes, and secretly resolved in his heart:
Be sure to study hard, live up to your family's expectations, and strive for your dreams.
The train started slowly, Lin Xiao poked his head out of the window and waved goodbye in the direction of his hometown.
He knew that from this moment on, he would face a whole new world, a world full of challenges and opportunities.
And he will also write a legend of his own with his own hands in this world.
In this way, Lin Xiao began his college career with dreams and determination.
And that college entrance examination transcript has become the most precious memory in his life.
Whenever he was tired and wanted to give up, he would always take out that report card and remind himself:
Dreams are waiting to be realized.
On the campus of the Military Medical University, which was full of hope and challenges, Lin Xiao ushered in his new life.
The moment he received the admission letter from the military academy, his heart was full of excitement and anticipation.
On that day, he finally put on the coveted cadet uniform and felt the pride and solemnity of being a soldier.
The early morning sun shone on the playground of the campus, and the golden light sprinkled on Lin Xiao's face, and he stood in front of the mirror, carefully arranging his military uniform.
The straight military uniform seemed to represent a supreme honor, which made him instantly understand the mission and responsibility of being a soldier.
He clutched the badge on his chest tightly, and his eyes gleamed with determination.
On the way to the school gate, Lin Xiao felt the envious eyes of his classmates.
He knows that this military uniform is not only an honor, but also a heavy responsibility.
He told himself that he must work hard to live up to this uniform.
In front of the school gate, Lin Xiao took the first photo with his classmates.
He stood up straight, his eyes like torches, as if he was declaring his determination to the world.
He carefully sent this photo home so that his parents, who were thousands of miles away, could share the joy with him.
When the photo was sent to her hometown, Lin Xiao's mother carefully opened the envelope, tears of excitement flashing in her eyes.
She looked at her heroic son in the photo, and her heart was full of pride and pride.
She couldn't wait to take the photo and walk around the village so that the villagers could see her son in the uniform of the military academy.
The people in the village gathered around, looked at Lin Xiao in the photo, and were amazed.
They knew that this young man would bring them endless glory and become the pride of the whole village.
The mother proudly displayed the photos and told everyone about her son's achievements.
Lin Xiao, who put on a military school uniform, seemed to have grown up overnight.
He understands that this military uniform not only represents personal honor, but also carries the expectations of his family and the trust of the motherland.
In the photo, he looks at his determined eyes, and endless strength wells up in his heart.
In the study and life of the military school, Lin Xiao always maintained a high morale and rigorous attitude.
He knew that as a military doctor, he would shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving lives and helping the wounded.
In order to be able to perform this noble profession, he must put in more effort than others.
In the classroom, he listened attentively, in the laboratory, he studied hard, and on the training ground, he sweated profusely.
Whenever it was quiet in the dead of night, Lin Xiao would think of himself in a military uniform, the proud eyes of his family and the admiration of the people in the village.
These memories are like a beacon that illuminates his path forward and inspires him to work hard to realize his dreams.
In this way, Lin Xiao spent a full and unforgettable time at the Military Medical University.
The cadet uniform witnessed his growth from a young boy to a heroic military doctor.
And the firm belief in his heart also shines more and more under the tempering of time.
He knows that as long as he does not forget his original intention and forges ahead, one day, his dream will come true and contribute his strength to the motherland and the people.

In that remote mountain village, Lin Xiao's mother held a photo of her son in her hand, and she was so excited that she burst into tears.
She carefully handed the photo to the onlookers, which was a photo of Lin Xiao wearing a military medical university uniform.
Behind him was the solemn school gate, and Lin Xiao stood straight, his eyes firm, as if he was ready to meet the challenges of the future.
The photos were circulated in the hands of the villagers, and everyone was proud of Lin Xiao's achievements.
In this era of scarce educational resources, it is an honor for a rural child to stand out and be admitted to a university, especially a military medical university.
The villagers talked a lot, some said that Lin Xiao was smart and studious since he was a child, and some said that Lin Xiao's family had good feng shui, but more people were praising Lin Xiao's mother for teaching her son.
Lin Xiao's mother became the focus of the village at this moment.
Her face was filled with a happy smile, and it was a heartfelt satisfaction and pride.
Everywhere she went, the photos followed, and she constantly showed people her son's achievements, as if to announce her pride to the world.
In the village square, the mother placed the photo in the most prominent place for everyone who passed by to see it.
The children looked curiously around the photo, and the old people pointed to Lin Xiao in the photo with trembling fingers, telling the younger generation about the importance of diligent study.
Lin Xiao's photo has become a legend in the village, inspiring everyone to pursue their dreams.
And in this land, Lin Xiao's story also took root in people's hearts.
His success is not only a personal pride, but also the pride of the entire village.
The mother walked up and down the village, her back straight, as if carrying the honor of her son and the hope of the whole village.
As time passed, Lin Xiao's photos began to turn yellow.
But my mother still treasured it, took it out and wiped it from time to time, and carefully placed it on her chest to feel the heavy pride.
In the dead of night, she would silently pray to the photo.
I hope that my son's military medical university in the distance can go well and become an excellent military doctor who will serve the country and the people.
This pride and pride also inspired Lin Xiao, who is far away at the Military Medical University.
During the arduous study and training, he often remembered his mother's smile and the expectations of the people in the village, which were the driving force for him to keep moving forward.
He knows that every step of his growth and progress affects the hearts of his relatives in his hometown.
In that hopeful era, Lin Xiao's story became a legend in the small mountain village, inspiring generations of young people to pursue their dreams.
And the photo in Lin Xiao's mother's hand has also become an eternal memory, witnessing the pride and happiness of an ordinary family.
In the classroom of the Military Medical University, Lin Xiao was alone, and the photo in his hand was slightly yellowed, which was taken in front of the school gate when he first entered the school.
At this moment, he looked at himself in the photo, the young man in the military school uniform, his eyes were full of determination and determination.
Memories flooded back his mind, and he remembered the oaths and dreams he had made when he put on this uniform.
That day, when Lin Xiao put on the uniform of the military academy for the first time, he felt an unprecedented sense of responsibility and mission.
He knows that this is not just a piece of clothing, but also a commitment, a commitment to the motherland and the people.
He secretly determined to dedicate his youth and blood to the cause of military medicine, and bring hope and life to those soldiers who were wounded on the battlefield.
Lin Xiao in the photo seems to be conveying that original intention and determination to him now.
He closed his eyes and recalled the countless days of sweating and rain on the training ground of the military academy, every time he fell and got up, every challenge and breakthrough, it was a mark of his growth.
He understands that behind every military doctor is countless days and nights of hard work and unremitting efforts.
A warm current surged in Lin Xiao's heart, he thought of his mother in his hometown, the rural woman who was proud of him, her smile and expectation were the eternal light on Lin Xiao's way forward.
He knew that his mother's pride was not only because he had put on a military uniform, but also because he had chosen a path that was both challenging and glorious.
During his studies at the military academy, Lin Xiao was faced with a series of complex medical knowledge such as anatomy, physiology, and pathology.
He sometimes felt overwhelmed, but whenever he did, he would pull out that picture and remind himself why he was going.
Those nights, when the classmates had fallen asleep, Lin Xiao was still studying hard in the study room, and there was only one belief in his heart:
You must become an excellent military doctor and live up to expectations.

On the wall of Lin Xiao's dormitory hangs a huge map of China, marking the places he dreams of going.
The grassroots troops in the outlying areas, the corners where the military doctors are most needed.
He often stood in front of the map and imagined himself carrying a medicine box on his back, shuttling among the soldiers, treating their wounds and bringing them health and hope.
During his years in the military academy, Lin Xiao not only achieved fruitful academic results, but also greatly exercised his physical fitness and will.
He remembers a time when he almost couldn't hold on during a rigors of wilderness survival training.
But it was the determined look in the photo that made him grit his teeth and finally complete the task.
As time passed, Lin Xiao's heart became more and more firm.
He understands that he still has a long way to go, and the challenges ahead will be more severe, but it is these challenges that have shaped great military doctors.
He believed that as long as there are dreams in our hearts and loyalty to the motherland and the people, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
Lin Xiao in the photo has become his motivation and role model for moving forward.
In every difficult moment, he would think of himself in military uniform, that heavy sense of responsibility and honor.
He knows that every step of his growth is getting closer to his dream, and he is handing in a satisfactory answer to his mother's pride and the expectations of the people in the village.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Xiao's time at the Military Medical University is nearing the end.
The lessons that challenged him, the hard training, have become his precious treasures.
At the graduation ceremony, Lin Xiao was dressed in a neat military uniform, the medal on his chest was shining, and his eyes were shining with pride and determination.
He knew he was ready to fulfill the dream he had planted in his heart all those years ago.
At the moment of graduation, Lin Xiao's mood was extremely excited.
He received his diploma with a lot of emotion in his heart.
Along the way, he has experienced too many hardships and challenges, but it is these hardships that have allowed him to grow into a qualified military doctor.
He knows that this certificate is not only a recognition of his academic achievements, but also an affirmation of his perseverance and hard work.
Lin Xiao returned to the dormitory and took out the photo that had been slightly yellowed again.
He looked at himself in the photo, the young man was now mature and steady, and his eyes revealed the firmness of a soldier and the benevolence of a doctor.
He gently stroked the photo, and a warm current welled up in his heart, and he knew that his dream was finally coming true.

After graduating, Lin Xiao was assigned to a remote grassroots unit, where the conditions were difficult, but it was exactly where he dreamed of.
With full of enthusiasm and superb medical skills, he devoted himself to the work of serving the soldiers.
There, he saw so many patients who needed him, and his hands healed countless wounds and brought health and hope.
In the dead of night, Lin Xiao would still think of those days at the Military Medical University and the oath he made to the photo.
In the work of the grassroots troops, he has a deeper understanding of the responsibility and mission of being a military doctor.
He used his practical actions to practice loyalty to the motherland and the people.
In an emergency rescue mission, Lin Xiao faced a life-and-death test.
He was calm and calm, and with his medical skills and courage, he saved the life of a warrior.
At that moment, he deeply felt the value and glory of being a military doctor.
He knows that every decision he makes, every time he is treated, may change a person's fate and even affect the happiness of the entire family.
