That year, I retired from the Air Force with mixed feelings. Lao Liu, my old comrade-in-arms, patted me on the shoulder, "Lao Zhang, what are you going to do?" ”
I smiled wryly and shook my head, "What else can I do, find a job and support my family." ”
Lao Liu's eyes widened, "What you said, we are soldiers, why haven't we suffered?" A job that pays well is not so difficult to find. ”
I looked at him with some doubts. Lao Liu smiled mysteriously, "I have a comrade-in-arms who changed careers from the Air Force to the internal guard, and later went to telecommunications, and the treatment is very good." ”
"Really?" I'm a little excited.
"Then can there be a fake? I'll introduce you to it and ask for yourself. ”
In this way, I met Lao Li. Lao Li is an enthusiastic person, he introduced me in detail about the work of telecommunications, and my eyes lit up when I heard it.
"But, Lao Li, can I do it at my age?" I'm a little worried.
Lao Li laughed, "Lao Zhang, you are too young." In our business, the older we get, the more popular we are. You're so experienced, and other telecommunications companies rush to ask for it. ”
I gritted my teeth and decided to give it a try. Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly and I successfully joined the telecom company.
At first, I was a little uncomfortable. The young people in the company shouted "Brother Zhang" when they looked at me, and I felt empty. But slowly, I realized that the job was quite interesting.
One day, the company suddenly received an urgent task to go to a remote mountainous area to repair communication equipment. Without saying a word, I grabbed my kit and set off.
The road in the mountains is really difficult to walk, and I stumbled along the way, but I was very excited. This kind of challenge, for me, is like going back to the army.
When I arrived at the destination, I saw that the equipment was quite badly damaged. I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. Just then, a villager ran over.
"Master, can you help me check the phone at home first? My son is working in a foreign country and I haven't been in touch for a few days, so I'm worried. ”
I hesitated, it was against the rules. But looking at the anxious eyes of the villagers, I really couldn't bear to refuse.
"Okay, I'll show you this." I put down my tools and followed the villager to his house.
The phone was repaired, and the villagers smiled happily. I was about to go back to work when suddenly, the mountain shook and landslided.
I was stunned, this was the first time I had encountered such a dangerous situation. But I quickly calmed down and remembered what I learned in the army about first aid.
I instructed the villagers to evacuate in an orderly manner, and at the same time used my mobile phone to ask the company for help. When everything is arranged, the stone in my heart will fall to the ground.
Later, the company's leaders praised me, saying that I was not afraid of danger and handled it properly. I smiled and thought to myself, this is all trained in the army.
Today, I have been working for a telecommunications company for many years. Whenever someone asks me, from the Air Force to the internal guard, to telecommunications, do you think it's worth it?
I would not hesitate to answer, "Worth it!" I am proud that this job is well paid, I can help others, and I can continue to use my expertise! ”
This is my story, a veteran's career turnaround. There have been ups and downs, but I've never regretted it. Because I know that every challenge is for a better tomorrow.
As the days went by, I became more and more comfortable in my position at the telecommunications company. On that day, an important meeting was held at the company, and our department was assigned a new project - the construction of a communication network covering the surrounding mountains. This project is significant, not only to improve the quality of local communications, but also to help the children in the mountains reach out to the wider world.
"Lao Zhang, you are responsible for this project." The manager patted me on the shoulder, his eyes full of trust.
My heart tightened, this is a big responsibility. "Manager, can I do it?" I was a little hesitant.
The manager smiled, "You can't, who can?" Your experience and ability are seen by everyone. Moreover, you are familiar with the situation in the mountains, and no one is more suitable than you. ”
And just like that, I took on the project. During that time, I took the team to trek through mountains and rivers, eat and sleep, although it was hard, but every time I saw the communication tower erected little by little, I felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment in my heart.
One day, we met a little boy herding sheep in the mountains, and he watched curiously as we were busy.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" He asked.
"We're building a communication tower, so you'll be able to make calls and surf the Internet here." I replied with a smile.
The little boy's eyes lit up, "Really? Then I will be able to video chat with my mom and dad who are out of town! ”
At that moment, I deeply felt the meaning of this job.
Just as the project was about to be completed, a sudden rainstorm triggered flash floods. Our construction site was washed to pieces, and the communications towers we had worked so hard to build were crumbling.
"Lao Zhang, what can I do?" The team members looked at me with anxiety in their eyes.
I gritted my teeth, "What to do?" Let's start all over again! This tower, we not only have to build, but also build it stronger than before! ”
We braved the wind and rain, day and night, to complete the project within the scheduled timeframe. When the communication tower re-established itself on the top of the mountain, when the first call was successfully connected, we all laughed excitedly.
At that moment, I understood that no matter from the Air Force to the internal security service, to telecommunications, what has changed is the position, and what has not changed is the responsibility and responsibility. With my own hands, I have made a difference in this land, a new battlefield for a veteran.
After the project, I returned to the company and was warmly welcomed by my colleagues. They called me "the signal soldier of the mountains", a title that made me extremely proud.
Life goes on, and the challenges never stop. But I firmly believe that as long as I have a sense of responsibility and strength in my hands, no matter what difficulties I face, I can rise to the occasion and continue to write my story.
In the days after the program, I went back to my peaceful daily life. But the feeling of struggling in the mountains has always been unforgettable. In the dead of night, I think of the little boy's expectant eyes, the scene of the communication tower standing tall in the wind and rain.
One day, the company suddenly received an urgent task to support a remote mountainous area, where communication was interrupted due to continuous heavy rain, and it became an information island. Once again, the company gave me this task.
"Lao Zhang, this mission is not easier than last time, are you ready?" The manager looked at me solemnly.
I nodded, "No problem, manager." The children in the mountains still need me. ”
With my team, I set out on the journey again. This time it was more difficult than the last time, the road was muddy, landslides and we had to make several detours. But the faith in our hearts keeps us going.
When we arrived at our destination, we quickly got to work on the repairs. When the villagers in the mountains saw us, their eyes were full of hope.
"It's great that you're here again!" An old man said excitedly.
I replied with a smile: "Uncle, we won't give up easily when we come." ”
In the days that followed, we worked overtime to fix one communication glitch after another. Whenever I see the signal light come on, my heart will light up with it.
Just as we were about to complete our mission, an unexpected situation happened. A young team member was in critical condition when he accidentally fell and injured himself while climbing a communication tower.
"Lao Zhang, what should I do? How are we going to save him? "The team members looked at me in a panic.
My heart tightened, but I quickly calmed down. "Don't panic, we've got to hold on. Xiao Li, you hurry down the mountain and call an ambulance. For the rest of us, we have to think of ways to stabilize the wounded. ”
We secured the wounded man with a rope and carefully lowered him slowly from the tower. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everyone's heart was in their throats.
Fortunately, the injured were eventually rescued and taken to the hospital in time. After treatment, he slowly regained consciousness.
Tears moistened his eyes when he opened his eyes and saw us, "Thank you, I thought I was done this time." ”
I shook his hand, "It's okay, brother, we're here." We are comrades-in-arms and brothers, and no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must carry them through together. ”
At that moment, we deeply felt the bond between each other, and this emotion was stronger than blood.
The task was successfully completed and we returned to the company with the joy of victory. This experience has made me more aware that no matter what position you are in, the mission and responsibility of a soldier will never change.
Life goes on and challenges continue, but I believe that as long as we have love in our hearts and strength in our hands, we can plant seeds of hope in every corner, so that they can take root and blossom. This is the perseverance of me, a veteran, and my story, which continues to be written everywhere I am needed.
Over time, my position in the telecommunications company has also risen through the ranks. One day, the manager called me into the office and told me that the company was going to build a base station in the mountains and that I needed to take charge of the project.
"Lao Zhang, this mission is very important, and you need to go out in person." The manager said solemnly.
I nodded, a little excited. This project will not only improve the quality of local communications, but also contribute to the local economy, which is a new challenge for me.
I set off with my team, and this time the journey was more difficult than ever. We need to travel through a primeval forest, where the environment is complex and infested with wild animals, and we need to be vigilant at all times.
After a few days of arduous trekking, we finally reached our destination. We were warmly welcomed by the local villagers, knowing that our presence meant they would be able to enjoy better communication services.
Over the next few months, we overcame many difficulties and finally completed the construction of the base station within the scheduled timeframe. When we watched the base station run smoothly and the signal lights came on, our hearts were filled with a sense of accomplishment.
However, just as we were about to return, a sudden flash flood hit the village. Our base station was washed away by floods and our equipment was badly damaged.
"Lao Zhang, what should we do?" The team members looked at me with worry in their eyes.
I gritted my teeth, "Let's start over and fix the base station." ”
We're back in the restoration, and this time we're taking more care to make sure the base station is more robust. After some hard work, we finally completed the restoration.
When we watched the base station come back into service and the traffic lights came back on, we knew that our efforts had not been in vain. This experience has made me more aware that no matter how big the difficulties are, as long as we are determined, we will definitely be able to overcome them.
When I returned to the company, I was warmly welcomed by my colleagues. They called me "the communications hero of the mountains", a title that I couldn't be prouder of.
Life goes on, and the challenges never stop. But I firmly believe that as long as we have love in our hearts and strength in our hands, we can overcome all difficulties and write our own stories.
