Sanxiang Metropolis Daily on April 30 (correspondent He Xingru all-media reporter Liu Zhendong) "I received a notice of proposed admission! All the staff went ashore, and the dream came true!" Recently, Jiang Xiating, a Hunan girl, sent a "good news" in the WeChat group, which quickly made all the group members explode. This means that five female students from the militia company of Changsha University of Science and Technology, Zhu Xinyao, Jiang Xiating, Fan Xinyue, Lv Yuxin, and Chen Xingyun, were all admitted to the graduate school of their ideal university. The WeChat group name they revised when they were preparing for the exam in October last year, "All Staff Go Ashore", has also turned from a dream into a reality.
These five beautiful and sassy college students went ashore at China Agricultural University, Ocean University of China, South China Normal University, Fuzhou University, and Changsha University of Science and Technology. Four years ago, they were infected by the training instructors during the freshman military training, and they joined the militia company of Changsha University of Science and Technology one after another, thus forming a deep friendship.
The company's training is usually arduous, and many people are discouraged by high-intensity physical exercise, monotonous and boring repetitive passwords, and tense and strict time management. The five girls persevered all the way, they always met to practice together after training, and their friendship heated up rapidly in the days of correcting each other's movements and exercising together, and the quality of hard work and self-discipline was also sharpened in daily training.
"Every evening training, the five of us often run together with weights, and when someone is struggling to support us, we all run together and encourage each other loudly until we finish the race. This perseverance also laid a solid foundation for our later perseverance on the road to graduate school. Fan Xinyue recalled.
During the 2021 freshman military training, five girls were assigned to the same dormitory as training instructors, "During that time, we exchanged interesting stories and experiences of training together during breaks, and after training every day, we went back to the dormitory with a 'limp'. Zhu Xinyao quipped that this experience of eating and living together has brought the friendship of the five to a higher level.
In October 2023, the five girls shared their plans for the future in a heart-to-heart chat, and jointly strengthened their determination to go to graduate school. Back in the dormitory, Lu Yuxin changed the name of the WeChat group chat to "All Ashore", she recalled: "At that time, I was dreaming of a better future, and I changed the group name as soon as I was surging in my heart, hoping that we could all get what we wanted." ”
Share the real questions of the postgraduate entrance examination, complain about the pressure of preparing for the exam, and exchange study methods...... Since then, this WeChat group has become a "gas station" for the five girls.
Due to the different fields of study and study habits of different majors, they are scattered in different areas of the library to prepare for the exam. But they often help each other with a pen, a few pieces of scratch paper, and snacks...... Scattered items are passed between the five people, becoming another connection outside of the group chat.
The road to graduate school is not all smooth sailing. When there were only two months left in the countdown to the written exam, the youngest Chen Xingyun had the idea of giving up under heavy pressure, and after Jiang Xiating found out, she took Chen Xingyun to the study room to supervise her study.
"Leaving no one behind is a tradition of our militia companies. In the past, the company had morning training at six o'clock, and we also agreed to gather in the dormitory corridor and set off together. Jiang Xiating said.
Whenever someone is low, others will immediately cheer her on in the group. For the five girls, it is normal for them to be under pressure to go to graduate school and occasionally need to vent their emotions, but their firm belief in "not abandoning and not giving up" between each other must not be shaken. As Chen Xingyun said: "The WeChat group of 'all ashore' has long become an indispensable spiritual sustenance in everyone's preparation life. ”
Now, looking back on the past few years of college, the five girls feel lucky and cherished. The 21 laps that ran side by side in the light rain, the loud national anthem sung at the flag-raising ceremony in the rainstorm, the stars seen on the playground after evening training, and the night battle in the library and dormitory where time was forgotten...... They are precious memories that they will always remember in their hearts. "Most importantly, we have gained perseverance and rock-solid friendships from these experiences. ”
After the dream of graduate school is realized, the five girls are full of longing and yearning for the upcoming graduate life. "We definitely don't just train 'partners' and graduate school 'partners', even if we are not in a city in the future, we also want to be a 'partner' for travel, scientific research, and career...... Struggle together and forge ahead!"
