In mid-November, the reporter walked into the new barracks of a coastal defense division in Fujian Province, only to see that on the training ground, a soldier quickly fell down, his body slid out of the trend for more than two meters, and he quickly aimed his gun, and the whole action was like a cloud flowing in one go. Suddenly, there was a warm applause from the crowd.

The "martial arts leader" who was doing the demonstration had a dark face and a thin and tall figure, but there was no rank on the collar of the camouflage suit. "Wouldn't it be a recruit?" Seeing the reporter's surprised face, the leader of the new barracks told the reporter that it was true that he was a new recruit, but he was also a "veteran" among the recruits.

His name was Wang Zixuan, and he was a second-time recruit.

"I especially love military life, and in order to take care of my father, who is seriously ill, I had to choose to retire from the army!" Speaking of the reason for his initial retirement, Wang Zixuan's eyes flashed with tears. It is understood that at the end of 2012, Wang Zixuan enlisted in a guard battalion, and during his service, he was particularly able to endure hardships and won the championship in training many times. At the end of the two-year service period, the bad news came from the family: my father had colon cancer... Upon hearing this news, Wang Zixuan, as the only son in the family, tearfully clipped the application for the selection of non-commissioned officers into a notebook.

After retiring from the army, he used the discharge fee and the more than 20,000 yuan raised by his comrades-in-arms for him to treat his father's illness, and insisted on staying by the bedside every day, scrubbing his body, feeding him, changing medicine, and urinating with... But he still could not save his father's life, and when he was dying, he held his hand tightly and said, "Son! I delayed you, if possible, I hope you can continue to be a soldier..." Wang Zixuan cried and red-eyed, and forcefully agreed.

After the death of his father, Wang Zixuan began to inquire around about how to enlist in the army for the second time, and learned that as long as he was qualified for age, physical condition, etc., he could apply. At the beginning of this year's conscription work, Wang Zixuan signed up, passed through the layers of passes, and successfully enlisted in the army again, and was assigned to the coastal defense force.

According to platoon leader Wei Shenghui, Wang Zixuan entered the situation very quickly, just arrived at the new barracks, and all physical fitness assessments ranked first in the whole battalion. "In addition to his own excellent training, Wang Zixuan often provides 'golden ideas' for new training work to help comrades-in-arms improve their training performance." Zhang Heng, the squad leader of Wang Zixuan, told reporters that the class gave full play to his advantages and let him serve as a demonstration pacesetter in the queue training. At the suggestion of Wang Zixuan, more than 10 kinds of queue training methods such as overhead military hats, backpack rope pulling wires, and wooden frame stereotyping were promoted in the new barracks. "Not only that, but there are often recruit squad leaders who come to our class to learn from the scriptures!" Speaking of this, Zhang Hengle blossomed.

"He is also a good helper for cadres to do the ideological work of recruits!" Platoon leader Wei Shenghui told reporters that Wang Zixuan was good at giving play to his advantages as a soldier and actively cooperated with the squad leader to do a good job in ideological work during training. Recruit Xiao Wei has poor physical fitness, and when he hears that physical training is like an eggplant with frost. "Running is a process of pupating into a butterfly, after struggling to break through, you will have the feeling of spreading your wings and flying high!" While encouraging them, Wang Zixuan shared his running method of "breathing at a high speed, swinging his arms vigorously, and touching the ground on his toes as much as possible", and pulled him to run with a backpack rope. After some time, Xiao Wei's 3 km result was qualified.

Because I like it, I am persistent, and I must always not forget my original intention. A few days ago, Wang Zixuan was rated as a "fully excellent pacesetter in military training" by the new barracks.

Not long ago, the battalion organized recruits to go for a run on the beach. Between trainings, Wang Zixuan folded a paper airplane with a paragraph written in it: "Dad, I am back to the barracks I love again." Please rest assured, I will definitely work hard here to cultivate my talents and comfort you in the spirit of heaven with good results! He walked on the waves, swung the paper airplane into the sky with force, and then raised his right hand and saluted a solemn military salute...
