  Cctv review

  "Strict discipline, strict style and strict military appearance" has always been the most profound impression left by the people’s soldiers. Over the years, groups of outstanding soldiers with strong will and full of dedication have emerged in the people’s army. They have "given up their small families and cared for everyone", safeguarded the security of the motherland, and created the feelings of soldiers and civilians whose blood is thicker than water.

  △ On January 19, 2017, when a helicopter stationed in a certain unit of Fujian Luhang was training at night, the helicopter suddenly broke down in the air. In an emergency, in order to avoid densely populated areas, two pilots on board unfortunately died heroically.

  △ A soldier’s face was covered with dust after training, and he supplemented dry food on his way back. Neither his rank nor his appearance can be seen clearly … …

  However, we must also see that while professional soldiers are willing to contribute, they are often unable to enjoy the happiness of the world that everyone of us enjoys. Over the years, for the peace and harmony of the country and the happiness of most families, many soldiers have been guarding the border, training hard and taking root in the camp for many years, unable to reunite with their families, or even separated for a long time.

  Obviously, professional soldiers, like ordinary people, are eager to visit relatives and share their family happiness through vacation. However, owing a lover, failing to live up to filial piety, and failing to fulfill the duties of a husband, son and father to the family often bring them a lifetime of guilt. How to actively create conditions for their families to be harmonious and beautiful is in line with human nature and common sense.

  △ In February, 2016, Fan Ding, a frontier soldier who was on duty in Spring Festival travel rush, Guangdong Province, and his wife, a conductor who was rushing on the Spring Festival travel rush railway line, had a brief "reunion" for 30 minutes on the platform of guangzhou east railway station due to the chance of a passenger train.

  As we all know, everyone is the sum of various social relations, and soldiers are no exception.In addition to shouldering the responsibility of defending the country and defending the country, they are also lovers’ partners, children’s parents and elderly people’s lifelong concerns.It should be a consensus that every professional soldier should be able to shoulder the responsibilities of the family and "play" multiple roles in life while not forgetting his duties and fulfilling his mission. From this perspective, the open letter of Army Commander Han Weiguo,It emphasizes the balance between military duty and family responsibility, and the consideration of "small family" and "everyone", which is undoubtedly more humane and appealing.

  Of course, the duty of a soldier is to defend the country. When the motherland calls, a soldier should be willing to contribute. This is a truth that has come from ancient times. In Han Weiguo’s letter, it is clearly written that "the army is going to fight, and the soldiers are going to contribute." Therefore,Emphasizing the balance between career and family is not a reordering of priorities, but trying to achieve both when conditions permit. Especially when parents are seriously ill, wives are in labor, children are born and other important moments, it is a lifelong regret to miss them.Therefore, it should be a consensus to actively create conditions so that soldiers do not always have to face the major choice of "loyalty and filial piety cannot be satisfactory".

  △ Gao Shang and Guo Jiying are military doctors of a brigade. The brigade changed its defense thousands of miles according to the order, and Gao Sheng went out with the unit, while Guo Jiying stayed for the time being to do the aftermath. When Noble packed his bags and said goodbye to his wife and children, his 2-year-old son realized that his father was leaving him, and tried to hold him back.

  Chinese often talks about "the dream of home and country", but in fact "home" and "country" cannot be completely separated. As a soldier,Only those who love their families deeply.Only in this way can we appreciate the splendor of thousands of lights and fireworks and realize the importance of peace and tranquility.Only when every family is harmonious and peaceful can the country be better and have a stronger future.Emphasizing the responsibility of soldiers to their families and encouraging military wives to take good care of their families will inject tenderness for their families and affection for the motherland into the iron will of their children, and will also make the people’s army stronger.
