Compared with ordinary people, the love of soldiers is less romantic and more bitter. It was another Spring Festival, and liu Ting, a newly married military sister-in-law, crossed thousands of miles to the military garrison at an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters, just to spend a reunion year with her husband.
In the Western Sichuan Plateau, the footsteps of the Spring Festival are approaching, and the training ground is still in full swing. At the foot of the Zhuodara Snow Mountain at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, Guo Jiawei led the team to conduct tactical training. Last year's army adjustment and reform, Guo Jiawei's unit moved from the plain to the plateau, and he also ended a happy life in the same city with his lover.
Guo Jiawei, commander of a special operations squadron of the Sichuan Armed Police Corps, said: "Originally, I planned to hold a wedding after returning to the mainland, but at that time she also agreed, but after the transfer to Ganzi, the time was relatively tight, and I did not go back to hold a wedding with her as scheduled." And then she blamed me all the time. ”
Military orders are like mountains. Leaving the warm home to serve in the plateau, even if there are thousands of reluctance, the small two can only use their thoughts to shorten the barrier of distance. This year's Spring Festival, wife Liu Ting decided to use a few rare days of vacation to accompany her husband to the New Year.
Guo Jiawei, commander of a special operations squadron of the Sichuan Armed Police Corps, explained: "I am afraid that she will have altitude sickness when she comes up, after all, this is a plateau, and it is not like the mainland." Still more worried about her, worried that she lacks oxygen, it is difficult to treat pulmonary edema on our plateau, or have to pay attention, I have repeatedly advised her, she still resolutely decided to come up to see me. ”
Liu Ting is a teacher at a dance school and has a busy schedule on weekdays. This time on the plateau, it was also her first time to her husband's new station.
Liu Ting, sister-in-law of the army: "Because the time I usually see each other is relatively small, and then the time of his work and my dance training class is just in conflict." To be honest, he was really, really good to me, and then I loved him very much. I think his perseverance, the temperament and spirit of his soldiers, I think it is the most impressive to me. ”
In August last year, two people who had been in love for three years registered for marriage and prepared to hold a wedding during this year's Spring Festival. However, due to the temporary tasks of the troops, Guo Jiawei could only celebrate the New Year in his post, and the two had to postpone the marriage.
Liu Ting, a military sister-in-law, said: "We originally planned to hold a wedding on January 20 this year, and the holiday he reported was also on January 20 this year, and it was all planned, but I didn't expect that a few days ago he called me and said that there were special circumstances in their troops during the Spring Festival and could not come back, so I decided that I must come up to see him." ”
After fourteen hours and more than 700 kilometers of long journey, Liu Ting finally arrived at her husband's unit. Greeting the sister-in-law who came from afar, the comrades-in-arms also attached great importance to it.
Guo Jiawei, commander of a special operations squadron of the Sichuan Armed Police Corps, said: "I was particularly touched to see her for the first time, to tell the truth, because I have not seen her for half a year. I really wanted to spend time with her, and at the same time tell her how much I missed her in the past six months. ”
"There are no birds in the sky, no grass on the ground, no wind blowing stones, and not enough oxygen." Guo Jiawei's unit is located in the "forbidden area of life" at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and it is covered with ice and snow for seven or eight months of the year, and the oxygen content is only two-thirds of the inland area. The cold wind whistles, walking hand in hand on the plateau, the two small mouths have different feelings.
Liu Ting, a military sister-in-law, said: "The scenery on the mountain here is still very beautiful, but we have walked all the way to the mountain road is very rugged, and we have walked a few steps to breathe, and all the way up to the head is a little dizzy, not very comfortable." Then, I can imagine that they usually put on military uniforms and then tactical training, and then have to carry such heavy things, dozens of pounds of things, not to go up, to run up, such a harsh environment, really very difficult. ”
For Liu Ting, everything about the plateau is fresh. Even if the conditions are difficult, it is a kind of happiness to be able to accompany your husband.
There is a tradition in the army that every sister-in-law who comes to visit relatives will plant a "husband and wife tree" in the camp with her husband. Today, the "husband and wife forest" here has a small scale, and it also witnesses the dedication of soldiers and military sisters-in-law to this snowy plateau. Although the wedding in their hometown was postponed, in the army, a "military barracks wedding" customized for the two of them was held as scheduled.
The groom plays and the bride plays. At this special wedding, the heroic olive green and the white wedding dress reflected each other, and the comrades-in-arms also witnessed this sacred and happy moment.
It is difficult to say goodbye when they meet, and after a short reunion, the two will face life in two places. Bidding farewell to Gao Yuan and saying goodbye to her husband, Liu Ting is looking forward to the next reunion.
