[Explanation] Entering the summer vacation, the high temperature and humidity of the "sauna day" continued on the western Yunnan plateau. Training in such an environment, Chen Shaojie, a 19-year-old armed police soldier, had just done a few warm-up exercises and his face was covered with sweat.

  Chen Shaojie said that although life in the barracks was hard, it felt very fulfilling.

Before that, he said that he had lived a period of "no sense of direction".

  (Before enlisting) I watch mobile phones, play games, call at three or four in the morning and then go to bed, get up at nine in the morning, because I play late at night, and then I don’t want to wash, I’m lazy, I don’t want to do anything. , And then lay down, set a watch, got up ten minutes early, and walked to the restaurant for work ten minutes. That's what life is like every day.

  [Explanation] After joining the army, Chen Shaojie has undergone tremendous changes from his living habits to his mental outlook through the training of the army.

After two years of life in the barracks, this "post-00" soldier born in 2001 ushered in the "mature ceremony" in the barracks.

  You have been exercising in the military camp for two years. Maybe your thoughts are different from those outside, because you will learn a lot here, you will not become lazy, and you will dare to do and take responsibility for whatever you do. Just won't flinch.

  [Explanation] In the First Mobile Squadron of a certain detachment of the Armed Police Yunnan Corps, there are many "post-00" armed police fighters like Chen Shaojie.

  From the age of 18 to 19, I feel that the changes from 17 to 18 or 16 to 17 in the past are huge, I think.

First of all, in terms of life attitude, I am not so lazy, I can be serious about everything, and I will not talk about the previous perfunctory things.

Another thing is to learn a kind of fighting spirit, do everything you can, don't say deceive yourself, let alone deceive others.

  [Explanation] The changes that these young soldiers have made in the barracks have also made their families feel proud.

Chen Shaojie said that although he was separated from his family by two places after enlisting in the army, his psychological distance with them was drawn closer and the relationship became more harmonious.

  I talked to my mother on WeChat that day, and I told my mother that because she prefers jewelry, I told her, "When I go back, I will buy you a bracelet in Yunnan for you to go back." Mom is also very happy, because my mom is fatter, she said, "Buy a bigger one, but I can't bring a small one."

I plan to go home and take my dad and mom out on a trip to have fun.

  Every time I started a video chat with her (mother), I saw a picture of me wearing a military uniform hanging behind her. I felt that my picture had been hung on the wall. They looked at me every day and they were very pleased. I'm also very happy.

  [Commentary] After being away from home for a period of time, these "post-00s" soldiers also imagined the scene of returning home for the first time after enlisting in the army, looking forward to eating the meals their parents cooked.

Zhen Zhonglei said that when he went home, he had to give each family a hug when he entered the house. After speaking, the soldier in front of him still had a smile on his face, but his eyes had become moist.
