Brother soldiers, father and daughter soldiers, uncle and nephew soldiers, passed down from generation to generation; The number of meritorious servants has exceeded 100 for 6 consecutive years, and these touching stories all happened in Weining Yi Hui and Miao Autonomous County, Guizhou Province. Among them, the local Chaoyang Group is known as the "Meritorious Village", with more than 40 families in the group, 21 people joined the army, and 88 people received various awards and commendations. Before the "August 1st" Army Day, the reporter walked into the "Meritorious Village" to decode how the plateau soldiers were refined.
Starting from Weining County, the vehicle climbed all the way and we arrived at the Chaoyang Group.

Ji Zhenglong, a retired soldier, told reporters that this place is called Lujia Daying, which is the third highest peak in Guizhou, with an altitude of about 2,883 meters. Living here, the local villagers have a particularly large lung capacity since childhood, and they have adapted very quickly to the mountains to herd sheep at home, to carry potatoes in the fields, from the Guizhou Plateau to the Tibetan Plateau, and after they arrived at the army.
Ji Zhenglong has been a soldier for more than 20 years and has made two third-class merits.

And the dream of being a soldier in his heart began with his uncle Fumi Himeda.

Himeda is 60 years old and the first plateau soldier in the Chaoyang Group. Himeda said that when he was a child, he heard the county armed forces department blowing the military trumpet and the soldiers were practicing, so he ran to the back to watch and practiced. As soon as he heard that the conscription order was issued, he immediately signed up.

In 1981, 17-year-old Himeda Wen put on a military uniform for the first time and was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. And when he returned home from vacation, he found that the children in the village were more excited than him.
Himeda recalls that wherever he went, a group of people followed him, the youngest was two or three years old, and the older one was older than him. In a circle in the courtyard, everyone listened to him tell stories about the army, and they didn't want to go home until 12 o'clock in the evening, and the children said that they would also go to the army in the future. This Type 65 military uniform planted a seed of patriotism for the local youth.

And so the seed took root and thrived. The proudest thing in Himeda's life is that under his leadership, 20 young people have joined the army. After Himeda was discharged, his younger brother Sakae Himeda took over, also put on a military uniform, and became a plateau soldier.

Ji Tian Rong said: "My second hometown, Tibet, is the southwestern border of the mainland. When I was discharged from the army in 1993, the whole town came to see us off, and everyone hugged and cried, offered Hada to us, and filled the kettle with barley wine, which I will never forget. ”

Although it is a rural baby, although Weining is known as Guizhou's "Little Tibet", the hardships of the border still temper Ji Tianrong's will. Himeda Rong said that in winter, it is the most bitter, and lotus white is the best fresh vegetable, and when it is brought in, it is frozen, and it cannot be cut with a knife, and it must be scalded with boiling water. When the military uniform is washed, it is immediately ice, and not a drop of water will drop.
Although it was bitter, after Himeda Rong was discharged from the army, he still encouraged his daughter to join the army. In the end, 22-year-old Ji Die fulfilled her dream of joining the army and came to the army where her father once served, becoming the first female soldier in the Chaoyang Group.

Ji Tian Rong told reporters that young people just want to guard the frontier in that place, and they cannot let go of an inch of the motherland. And when the reporter asked him if he felt sorry for his daughter, "I feel distressed, how can I not feel distressed!" He said, "But my daughter is very strong, and she said Dad, no matter how hard it is, I will go to see it, and I will go to the places you have been." ”
Tiger fathers have no dog girls. In the first year of service, Ji Die received a personal award. Chaoyang not only has a high rate of joining the army, but also has a high standing power, and 88 people have received various awards and commendations.
The certificate of merit that Ji Die received
Behind the glory, what is condensed is the silent dedication of countless people. Zhao Yueqian is 5 years old this year, and she sees her father once a year. A few days ago, my brother had his first birthday, and my father couldn't come back. As a military family, Jin Xiufen grew up with two children alone, and she said that the most difficult time for her was when her daughter's hand was injured, when she was 8 months pregnant, and she also hoped that her husband could be by her side.

But when the reporter asked her if she would blame her husband, Jin Xiufen said: "They are protecting the family and defending the country outside, and we have the responsibility and responsibility to take care of the family, support them, and be their strongest backing." ”

Jin Xiufen's husband is called Zhao Haiyong, and the villagers call him "the king of soldiers". After 13 years in the army, he was awarded 1 first-class merit, 2 second-class merits and 1 third-class merit. He participated in international military competitions four times, led the team as the captain three times, once fell off the cliff in the game, and led his teammates to fight back, and took the lead in planting the five-star red flag on the top of the mountain more than 5,000 meters.

Jin Xiufen asked Zhao Haiyong afterwards: "You fall down, be careful, why did you climb up again immediately when you woke up?" Zhao Haiyong said that at that time, the teams of other countries had already surpassed us, and he wanted to do 100% to win. To this day, Jin Xiufen still remembers Zhao Haiyong's serious expression when he said the sentence "As long as you don't die, you will die", Jin Xiufen didn't seem to know him at that moment.

During the Long March, the Red Army fought in 20 towns and villages in Weining, leaving behind a red fire.
