On the eve of the August 1st Founding Day, the Central Propaganda Department, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission, and the National Office of Double Support jointly released the third national "Most Beautiful Pro-Army Figures", and Cao Heng, a retired female soldier from Xuzhou after the "80s", was listed among them. Today, let us follow the camera together, relive Cao Heng's road to support the army, and feel the depth of fish and water.
Speaking of Cao Heng, not many people may know. However, many people who mention her parents Cao Yingjun and Ni Zhen'e are familiar with them, they are well-known models of supporting the army in Xuzhou, and they have won the title of the first national top ten most beautiful supporters.
On a rainy day in 1985, Cao Yingjun and Ni Zhen'e and his wife encountered an accident, and when they were in danger, two passing PLA soldiers rescued them and sent them to the hospital for treatment, and quietly left without even leaving their names. The couple thanked Dade and secretly resolved: they must repay their relatives in the People's Liberation Army. That year, Cao Heng was two years old.
The Third National "Most Beautiful Pro-Army Figure" Cao Heng :( Grew Up) The most common sentence I heard my parents say was that the People's Liberation Army was the savior of our whole family, so when I and my brother were very young, we should remember this sentence, we should be grateful, and when we grow up, we should be grateful to the People's Liberation Army.
With reverence for the soldiers, in 1999, Cao Heng joined the army and joined the army to a certain unit stationed in Ningbo and a certain unit in Coastal Defense. After retiring from the army, she returned to her hometown of Pizhou, and in her spare time, she devoted herself to caring for the disabled soldiers and the relatives of martyrs, and often purchased hand cream, face cream and antifreeze cream to send to officers and soldiers in the snowy plateau and border posts every festival. As a veteran of coastal defense, Cao Heng is deeply attached to the border defense island. For many years, she kept her heart in the coastal defense forces and fulfilled the "Covenant of the Islands", where she was affectionately called "Sister Cao" by young warriors. She said that even just greeting the "younger brothers" of the warriors who stuck to the island was a respect for them. In order to let the soldiers rest assured that they were stationed at the border, Cao Heng insisted on climbing the mountain and landing on the island despite the fierce winds and waves on the sea surface, and sent daily necessities to the coastal defense troops such as Beiqi Island and Taishan Island for seven consecutive years.
Jin Biao, a former soldier of a coastal defense company in Beiqi Island, Fujian Province: Despite the bad weather and unsatisfactory water and soil, Sister Cao still insisted on going to the island and spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with us, bringing warmth to our officers and men, like family.
Sun Bin, instructor of a certain coastal defense company on Beiqi Island in Fujian Province: This visit to the island has made a more obvious improvement in the infrastructure construction of our company. We must not forget our original intention, keep our mission firmly in mind, and sprinkle our youth and blood on the border and sea defense line of the motherland.
Nowadays, Cao Heng has taken over his parents' "baton of supporting the army", and has given full play to the Internet thinking of young people, opened the "husband and wife supporting the army network", Cao Heng served as the webmaster and began to carry out web design and maintenance, creating a new model of "Internet + supporting the army". Along the way, a family, two generations, more than 30 years of "support for the army" feelings have not changed.
Cao Heng's mother, a national patriotic model of supporting the army Ni Zhen'e: Like our culture (degree) is not too high, all aspects of the new era are better than ours (that year), to do this work better to inherit, than we do better.
The Third National "Most Beautiful Pro-Army Figure" Cao Heng: Supporting the army not only means gratitude, but I think it is the family style of our family and something that needs to be passed down from generation to generation. In the days to come, my brother and I will definitely inherit my parents' military career and continue this road.
