He used to be the most handsome flag-raiser in Tiananmen Square, and after he retired from the army, he rarely appeared in public again, and many netizens were very concerned about how he was living now? And where did you go after leaving the troops?
The protagonist of the story, named Zhang Zixuan, is a soldier brother who was once called "the most handsome flag raiser".
Zhang Zixuan was born in 1993 and is an authentic Hebei guy. Zhang Zixuan joined the army in 2010, and after 12 years of hard work and hard training, he was finally discharged from the army in 2022. Later, he was assigned a job that everyone envied, which is what we often call the "iron rice bowl".
What everyone didn't expect was that at the beginning of this year, Zhang Zixuan made a decision that stunned everyone. He actually took the initiative to quit his job as a flag-raiser, an iron rice bowl, and went to promote agricultural products. During this time, he went to many cities in Yunnan and Jilin, and carried out the promotion of agricultural products in many places. Fortunately, the results were good every time, and the promotion work went smoothly.
But for Zhang Zixuan's decision, netizens have their own opinions and discussions, and some people choose to understand and support, and encourage Zhang Zixuan to be brave enough to do what he likes. It is also a very happy thing to have a career that you love, and you can also be by your elderly parents, the best of both worlds.
But some netizens expressed their incomprehension, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, being able to become the flag-raiser of Tiananmen Square is not only a matter of honoring the ancestors, but also an iron rice bowl, and you will not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Even if you reach the age in the future and transfer to another position, you can also enjoy good benefits.
Zhang Zixuan took the initiative to give up and ran to promote agricultural products, many people said they didn't understand, because it was okay if it was successful, if it didn't succeed, wouldn't it be that all the hardships he had suffered before were in vain. In the face of netizens' discussions, Zhang Zixuan did not respond, but continued to concentrate on doing what he liked.
Zhang Zixuan stood in the courtyard, partnered with his father, and raised the national flag again, only to see that he was wearing a military uniform, although he did not wear a hat, but he was also tall and handsome. Even if he left the army, his military posture was as standardized, holding his head high, holding the national flag step by step to the flagpole. Then, together with my father, the flag was slowly raised to the top to the accompaniment of the national anthem.
The tacit cooperation and serious and solemn appearance of the two have won the praise of many netizens, and everyone can't help but exclaim: It seems that I saw Zhang Zixuan at the gate of Tian'an again, and he still has the same posture and appearance, and he has not changed at all. Years of habits have long been engraved in his bones, even if he has been discharged from the army for a year, he always remembers the meaning of the national flag to him, and he will carefully store a bright five-star red flag at home.
Perhaps for countless people who watched the raising of the national flag, it was only a matter of a few minutes to watch the raising of the national flag, and we would be amazed by the pace of the soldiers resounding through the square, surprised by their accurate grasp of time, and of course moved by their persistence in the cold winter and heat.
But behind these, there are still a lot of hardships and difficulties that we can't see, and those who have seen the training of the army know how demanding and difficult the training in the army is. It's not that the body of iron really can't bear it, and every step and every wave of the hand is measured with a ruler.
Every time there is an annual military parade, the leaders of various countries will be amazed by the phalanx drill of the Chinese soldiers, the uniform pace, the exact angle of the head swing, is even more standard than a ruler, and behind this are the sweat of the soldiers. Their dark skin and sweat-soaked clothes are signs of their hard training.
Zhang Zixuan has insisted on such hard training for more than ten years, so even if he retires from the army and changes jobs to other jobs, those habits cannot be easily forgotten. He always had that national flag in his heart, and every time he saw this bright five-star red flag, he couldn't help but recall that profound memory in his mind. In the past days and nights, every national flag raised with his comrades-in-arms was an indispensable part of his life.
After resigning, Zhang Zixuan returned to his hometown in Hebei to live with his father, and he first took his parents to the place where he had trained. After that, he started his new business - promoting agricultural and sideline products, he recorded the bits and pieces of each day through video, and Zhang Zixuan did not comment on himself in the unexpected world.
He always insists on doing what he likes and thinks is worthwhile, and making himself feel happy and happy is the most important thing, as long as he has free time, Zhang Zixuan will pick vegetables and cook with his father. They have fresh toons there, and Zhang Zixuan will go with his father to pick them, and then make a delicious toon scrambled egg by himself.
In the video, Zhang Zixuan stood on the ladder to pick toons, and his father took the basket to pick it up at the bottom. Zhang Zixuan also introduced to us how to distinguish toon from stinky toon, and kindly reminded everyone not to treat toon as stinky toon.
Seeing Zhang Zixuan skillfully stir-frying with a big iron pot, childhood memories came to my face, and I remembered the appearance of waiting for dinner at my grandparents' house, the same big iron pot and big pot stove, and the same firewood for cooking. Zhang Zixuan cooks very carefully, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, and side dishes, all of which are very skillful. He chatted with his father while cutting vegetables, telling about his experience and harvest every time he went out, and his parents would also give their son encouragement and affirmation as soon as possible, and support him to continue to do what he likes.
Everyone's pursuit is different, like some netizens feel that it is very unwise to give up a stable job and choose to start a business. Now that the general environment is in a downturn, it is really difficult to start a business, and once it fails, it will be nothing, and there will be no return. So why not try to be stable and firmly grasp this hard-won iron rice bowl? No matter how you say it, it was bought with twelve years of sweat.
But there are also netizens who believe that everyone is an independent individual and has the right to pursue happiness and freedom, we can't use our own standards to measure and demand others, some people pursue stability and plainness, and some people pursue ideals and break through themselves. If you want to get out of your comfort zone and pursue a higher quality of life, it is all up to your personal choice. What we have to do is to bless and support, and hope that Zhang Zixuan can continue to work hard, realize more self-worth, and contribute to the society.
