That year I was 19 years old, bidding farewell to my relatives and hometown, putting on the green military uniform, and my heart was full of infinite yearning. However, when the water gun replaced the steel gun, I was confused and wandering, and it was my father's "be a good soldier" that always inspired me.
At that time, I was 20 years old, stationed in the old revolutionary area of Shanghang, and the stone stele at the entrance of the camp was engraved with "Growing up in the red cradle, dedicating myself to the land of the general" to make me understand that "there is no steel gun and there is a water gun, the mission is equally glorious, and the responsibility is equally heavy."
At that time, when I was 22 years old, I solemnly swore an oath to the bright red party flag in front of the Site of the Gutian Conference, and at that moment I carved 12 sentences and 80 words into my heart and integrated them into my blood.
I was 25 years old that year, and under the care of the party organization, I successfully entered the school and improved my work. Before leaving, the instructor said to me meaningfully, "Remember, you are a descendant of the red land."
This year I am 31 years old, olive green has become flame blue, although the dress has changed is my original intention of being a good soldier, the unchanged is my original intention of continuing to move forward, and what has not changed is my original intention of listening to the party and following the party.
Behind every great cause, there are countless people's unremitting persistence and hard work, and the transformation and upgrading of the forest fire fighting cause is also inseparable from the silent persistence and selfless dedication of the majority of commanders and fighters. They are like screws firmly adhering to their respective posts, countless days and nights of perseverance, only for the tranquility of thousands of lights and the prosperity of the motherland. Liu Haitao is one of these thousands of "screws". He is the acting squadron leader of the first squadron of the Longyan Brigade of the Longyan Detachment of the Fujian Forest Fire Brigade, and in the past 11 years since he joined the company, he has always raised his loyalty above his head, sprinkled the passion and sweat of youth in the forest fire fighting cause, and interpreted the "extraordinary" of ordinary people with practical actions.
"As a compulsory subject for forest firefighters, self-rescue training is also a difficult subject for special rescue training, and the risk is greater." Liu Haitao said that after the reform of the team system, with the expansion of functions and tasks, various emergency rescue trainings such as mountains, earthquakes, and water areas have also been carried out, and the topic of "how to train dangerous and difficult subjects" has caused controversy in the squadron.
Some people say that it is not too late to carry out such courses, which are difficult to organize and risky to train, when the detachment is uniformly arranged. Liu Haitao believes that relying on ideas can only waste valuable training time, and only by actively studying and exploring and boldly training can the rescue ability of the team be steadily improved.
Since the launch of the competition training work, Liu Haitao has taken the initiative to put pressure on himself, never bowed to difficulties, changed the Fa'er and competed with himself, daily physical fitness, skill training, he was the first to get started, the last to close the exercise, the blood bubbles on his hands always disappeared, disappeared and rose, full of scars and thick calluses. Someone asked him, "You train so hard, is it worth it if you hurt your body?" he always smiled slightly. It is precisely with this perseverance beyond ordinary people and the spirit of constantly challenging the limits of their own bodies that they have practiced a solid basic skill.
During the detachment's "Flame Blue" fire fighting professional and special rescue competition, as a squadron leader, he took the lead in overcoming difficulties, setting up water pumps in the wild, marching according to the map at night, fighting professional skills competition, breaking down in a small space, 200 meters of fire fighting obstacles, bearing a weight of five kilometers off-road and other competition subjects, he led the members of the competition team to repeatedly study the details of the competition over and over again, and the work style of being down-to-earth and rigorous and loving and dedicated to their posts also set an example for the members of the competition.
"The No. 1 water gun target has been hit, the No. 2 water gun target has been hit, and the retreat has been withdrawn..." A sound signal came from inside the walkie-talkie. The roar of the pump engine sounded in the mountains, and Liu Haitao carried the water pump oil pot back and forth on the steep hillside, sweat already soaking the orange-red armor on his body. But he did not slow down and run forward, and finally with the close cooperation of the team members, the pump team led by Liu Haitao won the first place in the mountain pump erection subject.
Ordinary people are also extraordinary, he may just be an ordinary member of thousands of forest firefighters, but it is this ordinary member who is always interpreting the extraordinary forest firefighters with his ordinary stories.
