Liu Xiaobin，Male，Communist Youth League member，Born in October 1983。Admitted to the horticulture major of Beijing Agricultural College in 2003。Served in a certain unit of the Shandong Province Armed Police from December 2005 to December 2007。Continuing to study in the original major after returning from the military service。During enlistment，Won the third-class merit once，The title of "Excellent Soldier" twice。
"The bright moon of Qin and the pass of Han"，Thousands of miles of long march have not yet been returned；But the Flying General of Dragon City is here，Don’t teach Huma to cross the Yin Mountain。""Out of the Fortress" by Wang Changling sings the impassioned frontier soldiers，Not afraid of hardship，Mighty and broad momentum。This also brought back memories of Liu Xiaobin’s two years in the military camp。This poem is Liu Xiaobin’s favorite frontier fortress poem，It was the impassionedness of this frontier poem that planted the seeds of his dream of becoming a soldier。
From fake gun to real gun
Toy pistol，Green Army Cap，What little boy doesn’t like it。Of course Liu Xiaobin is no exception。In order for Liu Xiaobin to have a decent toy pistol，Dad Liu visited the surrounding stores，Finally picked a realistic toy pistol for him。When you get the gun，His joy and joy are beyond words。Although the gun is fake，But he still couldn’t put it down。He said: "That little toy pistol is still treasured in my childhood memory box。”Recalling childhood moments and dreams，He couldn’t help but smile。When the author saw the bright smile hanging from the corner of his mouth，I couldn’t help but wonder if it was that little pistol that evoked his dream of the military camp？
A small pistol in his childhood planted the seeds of his dream of becoming a soldier。Come to the army，Liu Xiaobin finally saw what he had dreamed of“Real gun”。
A gun means life to a soldier，In the gun ceremony, the squad leader instilled a soldier's understanding of guns into each comrade。"Gun is life，We must love our lives。So we have to clean our guns every day，Until it’s spotless。”between words，Revealing the pride and responsibility of being a soldier。
What Liu Xiaobin remembers the most，Still the same feeling as when I held a gun for the first time。Gun，Heavy，As if the burden of the motherland falls on your shoulders。“The first time I held a gun, it felt like I was holding my life in my hands！" said，His eyes seemed to be flashing with tears of excitement，It’s like holding a steel gun in your hand，So solid and persistent。
Maybe，The eternal sleep of the gun is the long-cherished wish of the soldier，But the eternal mission of soldiers is to keep their guns highly alert。They clean their guns every day、Clean it up with oil or gun training，Maintain its intact performance。
The gun has a sight line from the notch to the front sight to the target，This is also like the road of a soldier-difficult、Thrilling、Pride。So，He fell in love with guns。
The "dream of joining the army" that was almost shattered
The kite filled with memories is flying happily into the sky，My sight has been quietly taken away by it，Twisted memories hang all over the branches。With this kite full of happiness，The author also slowly entered Liu Xiaobin’s military memory。
With admiration and admiration for soldiers，With a yearning for military life。Finally，In 2005, the army came to the school to recruit college student soldiers，Liu Xiaobin seized this opportunity。Although，At first, his parents were still a little worried that the two years of life in the army would delay their son's studies，At the same time, he is afraid that the hardships in the military camp will be too much for his son。But Liu Xiaobin did not stop there，He promised his parents，Still not forgetting to study at any time in the army，Besides, military life is also a test for his life，He is not afraid of hardship。After some pleading and assurance。Liu Xiaobin moved his parents with his firm belief and yearning for military life。final，With the support and encouragement of parents and classmates，He filled out the registration form resolutely，Waiting for the physical examination time。However，The military’s physical examination is strict，This has become the thing he remembers most。
The first physical examination made Liu Xiaobin very bet365 online sports betting livenervous。While checking vision，The visual acuity of his left eye is only 0% different from the standard.1，This also means that the "dream of being a soldier" is about to be shattered。The failure of the first physical examination made him want to give up。Speaking of this，Liu Xiaobin’s eyes flashed with gratitude。“I can be a soldier，The most grateful person is Teacher Dang Dengfeng who was in charge of the recruitment work at that time，He gave me a lot of help and encouragement，At the same time，It also strengthened my dream。”
After Teacher Dang’s help and my own further protection of my eyesight，Liu Xiaobin finally passed the second re-inspection，Finally walked into the green military camp he had longed for since childhood。
Someone said，There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain。However，The path forward for others is also developed step by step by oneself。Just like opportunities always leave to those who are prepared，Just do it with your heart，Devotion，At the same time, strengthen your beliefs，The dreams and desires hidden deep in my heart will fly above the blue sky and white clouds。
Sleeping on the "seaside" in the biting cold wind
From dream to reality，From the ups and downs of the physical examination to embarking on the train to Qingdao Detachment of Shandong Armed Police Corps，This step by step，Can’t be said to be difficult，But it’s really still fresh in my memory。
Not accompanied by classmates，Send off without parents，There are only one carriage of new recruits。Young，Perseverance，A childish smile on his face，With the desire for the green military camp，With everyone’s expectations。Finally，He left his hometown，Walked into the military camp。
After learning that he was going to Qingdao, a hundred miles away from home, to serve as a soldier，Liu Xiaobin did not give up or shrink back because his troops were far away from home，There are just more profound ideals and firmer beliefs。"A dignified seven-foot man，Why would you shed tears just because you left home！" Liu Xiaobin said with a smile，The words reveal the attachment and concern for relatives。“All the way，We young guys are very excited，Talking and laughing。I just want to go to the military camp to experience the life we have to face，As for missing home，I no longer care about so much。"His thoughts seemed to go back to that day，It’s like going back in time，That scene reappeared in his mind。
Welcoming a burst of warm applause，The car Liu Xiaobin was in carried them into the military courtyard。The car just stopped，Everyone just grab their luggage and get off the bus,Drawing simple luggage，Liu Xiaobin looked around at the surrounding environment，Except for a few barracks and a huge playground，Nothing else。Because it is close to the sea，The occasional sound of waves seems to add a touch of vivid color to this monotonous base。Seeing the green uniforms of our comrades，Uniform hairstyle，Uniform military shoes，Liu Xiaobin just recovered from his slightly disappointed look。
So this is the real army，No noisy crowd，No interference from mobile phones，A busy city without neon lights。Some are just neat green military uniforms，Stereotyped rules of life，Harsh training。Life here is completely different from life in Beijing。
Recalling the pain and joy of "first arriving"，Liu Xiaobin seems to have endless things to say。
“When I first arrived in the recruit company，We are still very excited，But this excitement was short-lived。"Let’s not talk about Liu Xiaobin’s unfamiliarity with this city，Not to mention the longing for being hundreds of miles away from home。In terms of living and accommodation environment，It has made Liu Xiaobin, who has lived in Beijing since childhood, feel the difficulty of being a soldier。"Because it is a recruit company，So we live very close to the sea。The whistling sea breeze is bitingly cold，And the dormitories we live in are very simple，Some don’t even have windows。"When saying this，He seems to be telling an amazing story。However，It was the middle of winter when I entered the recruit company。While sitting in a warm classroom, I sometimes cry out that I am cold，Not to mention sleeping "by the sea" in the biting cold wind?
Maybe，Life at the "seaside" brings some romantic memories to ordinary people。It is so endless，So quiet sometimes，Sometimes, wet sea flowers are stirred up in an instant。Occasionally a few naughty seabirds cross the sky，Cut off the picture of the blue sea and sky。However，Liu Xiaobin is "drinking" a mouthful of sea water at the beach，Bitter，Astringent，Salty，Isn’t it like growing up in youth！The taste bet365 online sports betting mobileof sea water has not changed，But Liu Xiaobin is growing day by day，Never neglect，Like the deep and shallow footprints on the beach，Although it has been washed away，But Haisha still retained that memory for him。
“Talking about the time when we first arrived at the military camp，I really don’t live up to expectations！Due to acclimatization，Causing vomiting and diarrhea。But fortunately, I have the care of my comrades，I got through it！"Speaking of this，A smile spread across his face。Maybe，There is longing for the comrades in this smile，I have nostalgia for military camp life。So many thoughts and memories are completely contained in that firm and steady smile。
“It’s all talk but no practice, college students should take the lead”
Enter the army，The first thing we have to face is the life of the recruit company。The recruit company is a prelude to every soldier’s life memory，It is also the first stop of military career。And these three months of life have become an unforgettable experience for Liu Xiaobin。
The life of the army is strict and boring，Repeated every day，Repeat。But these seem to be nothing to Liu Xiaobin，On the contrary, he happily does what he should do。Listen to the clarion call to get up，Open your hazy eyes，This is how a day of hard training begins。
“We must adjust our spirits every morning，Get your house in order quickly，The discipline of the army does not allow us to be negligent。" said，Liu Xiaobin adjusts his sitting posture，It seems like I have returned to the boot camp of that year。
"Initially，I particularly admire the squad leader for folding the quilt so well！However，That’s considered fine work。”Just like Liu Xiaobin said，Folding quilts is really a delicate and slow work。Different from the usual quilt making，The "tofu cubes" in the military camp are a major feature of military life。Fangfangzhengzheng，Edged and angular，Looks like a neatly cut piece of tofu。At first，This also made Liu Xiaobin worried，No matter how much you fold it, it doesn’t look good。"Arrived at the army，I just learned that there is a lot of knowledge in folding quilts！Horizontal three-fold when folded，Press seams at each 40 cm vertical section，Align in the middle。But it’s mainly about pressure，Standwork is required。Do you practice three-quarter stacking?！”Listen to Liu Xiaobin’s description，The author seems to be in a wonderland。That’s it，One month，Two months...daily practice，Finally, folding quilts is no longer a difficult task。“Actually，The skill of folding quilts does not lie in ‘folding’，The most important thing is persistence，Hold on，It naturally becomes a habit。" He said calmly。
Maybe，This is the life of the army，Slowly feel the joy after hardship in the midst of boredom and harshness。Just like Liu Xiaobin said，Military life is a kind of training for his life，However, not everyone has the opportunity to experience the pain and joy in the military camp。
That neat pace，Powerful password，Lie down、Creeping，Even the grievance of being punished when doing things that are not up to standard，It’s all deeply imprinted in his mind。The strength of soldiers，From the Iron Troops，Comed from iron discipline。The army is like a melting pot，Forged each passionate young man into a strong man。
Tidying up housekeeping is nothing to Liu Xiaobin。And what about the strict and difficult training subjects for him？
“Actually，Training is painful，But painful and happy。Training is part of our life。In the company of comrades，No matter how hard training is, it’s nothing！”A very simple statement，Summary of two years of hardship。
“Remember the initial training，My physical strength sometimes cannot keep up。Just started my morning run，All the way down，Some of our backpacks fell apart，Some shoes fell off，Some are left behind，There are so many situations。" Liu Xiaobin said a little ashamed。However，The beginning of a little laziness，After the squad leader said, "All talk and no practice"，As college students, we should take the lead”，Walked Liu Xiaobin。He made up his mind，Strive to do everything well，Strive to live up to the expectations of your family and school。Every training，He is very serious。Training from daily morning running to three major steps，Standing in military posture again，Everything is meticulous。
“I remember one time when I was training to goose-stepping，The instructor requires everyone to keep their legs straight。I really can’t hold it anymore after a long time，Just relax a little，The result was discovered by the squad leader。You even punished me to practice bet365 online sports betting livesquatting for half an hour！" said，He smiled heartily。As you can imagine，Standing under the scorching sun，Keep your legs straight for a long time，It’s really unbearable。And he had to be punished by squatting for half an hour，This sounds incredible to ordinary people。But this is a soldier，There are iron-clad disciplines for them to abide by。As the motto of West Point says, "There are no excuses here"。
In the long river of time，There are many things that will move your heart。
While crawling during a training session，Some soldiers can be a little lazy，Often do small things。Unexpectedly，This punishes the collective。The squad leader asked everyone to crawl nearly 100 meters，Everyone happens to be wearing winter clothes，Creeping back and forth，Everyone’s military uniforms had many holes worn out by the pebbles on the ground。The newly issued military uniform has many holes，It also makes these young soldiers feel very distressed。Who says boys are always so carefree，The military uniform at this time is their life，It’s everything to them。
The style of a soldier，It started from the day I put on the military uniform。No matter the scorching sun above your head，Still stepping on the moonlight；No matter how hard it is，The sweat is still flowing。The demeanor of soldiers is always fascinating。They wrote their youth and dreams on that red flag，They keep their vows and commitments etched in their hearts forever。
Missions during the festival
Think more about your loved ones during the festive season，The Spring Festival of 2006 has a unique memory for Liu Xiaobin。
“I spent the Spring Festival of 2006 in the army，What impressed me most was that I was still on duty in the prison on New Year’s Eve！”Seems ordinary，But special。No warm advice from family，No hot dumplings on the table，No lively and joyful sound of firecrackers。Only the silent night stays with him。Although lonely，But sticking to one’s post is the only creed of a soldier。Because，This represents responsibility and belief。For the awards received while serving in the military，Liu Xiaobin seems unwilling to mention it more，He just shook his head，Saying lightly that those honors are just in the past。In his opinion，Don’t think about what you will get before doing anything，As long as you do it with your heart，You will gain something naturally。
For Liu Xiaobin，The mission that impressed him most was the duty to participate in the Olympic test event。To ensure the safety of spectators and test matches，Like Liu Xiaobin，The soldiers participating in the mission were all in high spirits，To ensure there are no accidents and omissions。At this point，Liu Xiaobin’s eyebrows look very energetic，Revealing the pride and pride of being a soldier。“That was the moment when the Chinese armed police showed and proved themselves to the world，I think we did not disappoint the Chinese people。”He at this time，It seems like we have returned to the test arena，Stick to your position without stopping。Stick to the duty of a soldier。Maybe，That must be the time he is most proud of！
Many beautiful memories will be left in life，Like shining pearls on the beach，Let you pick it up from time to time，Taste carefully。
Unforgettable friendship
From strangers in the carriage to chatting in the dormitory，A group of youthful boys spent an unforgettable two years in the green military camp。Two years is a short time，It’s a long time to say it is long。Everything in between，Like a strong cup of coffee，Heart-warming。Like a cup of light tea，Reminiscent。Friendship with comrades，Like the rainbow after the storm，Incredibly gorgeous，Like the afterglow after sunset，Reminiscent...
Recalling the seemingly inconspicuous little things，Liu Xiaobin was almost moved to tears。The meticulous care of comrades when they are sick，The considerate and heart-warming comfort of comrades when you feel wronged，Every scene is like a movie，Present in his mind。What he remembers most is the farewell party when he was discharged，How can our two years of friendship and emotion be summed up in just one party！Dance to your heart’s content，Drink as much as you want，Sing to your heart’s content。Countless tears，Countless hugs...there are so many memories of him here。
"Although it has been two years，But comrades will still get together frequently。I remember they came to Beijing not long ago，I also took them to visit Beijing！”Yes，Precious friendship may not be described in words，Simple words can best represent his state of mind。
The wind cannot blow away these warm memories；Rain cannot obliterate bet365 online casinothese touching melodies，Only the lovely sunshine shines on it，Keep it...the steel gun held tightly in the hand is like the life held tightly，Don’t give up，Don’t forget。

Soldier’s remarks:
Through this interview，It also reminded me of my two years of military life。Although life in the military camp is only a short two years，But these two years have given me a lot of good memories。I learned about comradeship、Family love...the army has taught me too much。
I don’t want to talk about how hard it is to be a soldier，How tired。I don’t want to say how great it is to be a soldier。Because being a soldier is to serve our motherland，Protect the tranquility of our motherland。In fact, being a soldier is a very ordinary thing。
I just want to say this to my fellow students，Everyone is experiencing something in his life。There is beauty in this，There are also some unsatisfactory ones。But these are our lives，Our own life。So，Don’t underestimate yourself at all times，Believe that you are the best。No matter how great other people’s things are, they are still other people’s affairs，No matter how small your own affairs are, they are still your own。We all have to start from scratch，Build your own city wall and fortress step by step，Make yourself stronger。So I want to say - believe in yourself。
Reporter’s Notes:
I wonder if it’s a pity not to be a soldier in this life。The author is somewhat envious of Senior Liu Xiaobin’s military camp life，But I don’t have the courage to choose the path of joining the army。Because，The author feels that life in the military camp is very hard，Just returned from the military training base，Maybe I just feel the surface of the army，I didn’t really feel the pain and joy in the military camp。
As the senior said, "Military life is a test of life"，Maybe，The author has no chance to experience the joy brought by this kind of training。Only with awe，Experience the life of soldiers with your heart。
In contact with seniors，What the author feels about the simplicity and perseverance of soldiers。Maybe，That is the character created by the special school of the army。From his words，I can always feel his happiness when he was a soldier，Rarely describe the pain and fatigue during training。He said he loved the life in the army，Love that feeling。The author thinks，Only when you are in the army can you truly feel the pride of being a soldier。
Beautiful things are not just in the past，In the warm and long days，After training again and again，Take your weak self and make it as hard as steel。In the autumn when the leaves are falling，Only the drive to endure hardship，Only joy in suffering，Only then will we have everything we cherish。
