"Since I joined the army, I have always wanted to be a 'deserter', and I really became a deserter, but I was afraid, afraid that the deserter would be embarrassed, afraid of being punished after being discovered, I felt that I might really be crazy. ”
These are the words of an old man who has worked in the public security department for most of his life, and when he has dinner with several old comrades-in-arms after retirement.
His name is Li Xinsheng, and from enlisting in the army in 1968 to changing jobs in 1977, a full 9-year military career made him unforgettable.
So what kind of experience did Li Xinsheng have in the army?
How did it grow up gradually?
1. The mind of escape.
Li Xinsheng enlisted in the army in 1968, and most of the troops in that era were recruited from the countryside, and because of this, the difficulty of recruit training made many recruits who had just joined the army want to desert.
Li Xinsheng is one of them, when he first joined the army, he was bent on escaping, but his evasion did not succeed, but was discovered, not only reprimanded, but also imprisoned.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't keep thinking about deserters, deserters are not only sorry for themselves, sorry for their families, but also sorry for the troops, sorry for the veterans of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, you are embarrassing us squad leaders and platoon leaders. ”
It was his squad leader who imprisoned him, and in the face of Li Xinsheng's evasive behavior, the squad leader was very angry, but he also knew that these recruits would have the intention of escaping when they first joined the army, so he did not scold Li Xinsheng, but persuaded him with good words.
Li Xinsheng was moved by the class leader's kind admonition, and made up his mind not to think about escaping anymore.
He figured out that the deserter was indeed sorry for the army, sorry for his family, how much effort his family had put into it for him to be able to join the army, and he was bent on escaping, which was simply wasting his family's hard work in vain.
So, Li Xinsheng decided to stay in the army seriously, after all, he had also done something that he decided to be a soldier, so he would definitely take it seriously and no longer have the intention of escaping.
2. Grow gradually.
Li Xinsheng gradually understood the hard work of the squad leader and what he should do, so he gradually took military life seriously.
But the training of recruits is indeed very difficult, so that many people can't bear it, want to escape, once the escape mind is born, it will be like a knife in the heart, making people unbearable, and the behavior of deserters is also very humiliating, so they have the fear of deserters.
Li Xinsheng is no exception, I remember once, Li Xinsheng and a few comrades-in-arms were in training, they couldn't hold on, so they wanted to escape the training, so the four of them thought about it, and when it was time to go to the toilet, they slipped away together, so that no one would find out that they were evading training.
When the freshman and his comrades went to the toilet together, the four of them quietly tripped the squad leader who was guarding the door, and then they ran together.
Li Xinsheng and his comrades-in-arms ran for a while, and they felt that no one was chasing them, so they slowed down and chatted while running.
But it didn't take long for them to be caught up by the instructors, and after they were caught up by the instructors, they were immediately taken back to the company.
"What do you mean, it's not right to evade training, and you still want to lie to me and others, you are disgrace to the army, you are disgrace to your family, you are embarrassing yourself, if you want to be a deserter, you will be a deserter, you are a deserter. ”
The instructor was very angry with the deserters, so he imprisoned them, and it was Li Xinsheng's squad leader who held them prisoner.
"What's the matter, why do you want to skip training, do you want to be a soldier or not, if you don't want to be a soldier, I will go home for you, you are wasting our food, wasting our resources, wasting our time, wasting the country's money, what are you doing, you say. ”
Facing Li Xinsheng's squad leader's angry questioning, Li Xinsheng and the others' faces were a little ugly, after all, it was wrong for them to evade training, but they didn't really want to be deserters, they just avoided training, so they didn't speak.
3. Gradual promotion.
Seeing that no one spoke, the squad leader began to ask questions one by one, and finally asked Li Xinsheng, who hesitated for a moment and still said it.
"Squad leader, it was wrong for me to skip training before, but I really didn't want to be a deserter, I just avoided training, I knew I was wrong, I promised that I would not skip training again in the future, I would stay in the army and be a good soldier. ”
Li Xinsheng's words touched his squad leader, and he said to Li Xinsheng and others: "You all have the potential to be soldiers, but don't think about being a deserter in the future, desertion is a shame for the whole army, but your evasion of training does not mean that you want to be a deserter, so I forgive you, just don't make such mistakes in the future." ”
Li Xinsheng and his comrades-in-arms listened to the words of the squad leader, and their hearts were very moved, they made a military order, and they would never evade training in the future, no matter how hard the training was, they would persevere.
Li Xinsheng also from that time, gradually grew up, he relied on his own efforts in the army, gradually promoted, in 1977 when he changed jobs, he had become the battalion commander, when he changed jobs, the regiment commander also persuaded him not to change jobs, let him stay in the regiment, but Li Xinsheng had already decided to change jobs, so he did not agree, but the regiment commander was not willing to let Li Xinsheng go, so he found a job for Li Xinsheng, so that Li Xinsheng could have a stable job after changing jobs.
epilogue
After Li Xinsheng became the battalion commander, he studied in the military academy for another year, and after completing the training, he went to the regiment headquarters to take up a post.
It was not until 1977 that he left the army and entered the public security department, and the story of Li Xinsheng is the best proof of the importance of the army's education and cultivation of talents, and the army has sent outstanding talents from all walks of life to the society.
Li Xinsheng gradually grew up in the army, and finally got to where he is today, but his achievements are inseparable from the training and education of the army, and also inseparable from those who have always supported him, so we should cherish these institutions and people who provide us with opportunities and support.
As I talked with my old comrades-in-arms at dinner after retirement: "Since I joined the army, I have always wanted to be a 'deserter', and I really became a deserter, but I am afraid, afraid that the deserter will be embarrassed, afraid that I will be punished after being discovered, I think I may really be crazy." ”
This sentence is very profound, people always have a different perception of the surface and the efforts behind it, so we should cherish every institution and people who provide opportunities and support for themselves, and don't only see the achievements of others, but ignore the efforts behind others.
