　　When asked about their own evaluation, Ma and Pali said: "The battlefield does not ask about gender. Don't call me a girl, please call me a soldier!"

　　Driving a tank has high requirements for power. The male soldiers can easily push and pull the joystick. Ma and Parli will have sore arms after two or three trips, and they can only complete a quick gear shift by combining their hands. The more difficult the training, the higher the enthusiasm of Ma and Pali. Putting away the girl’s beauty-loving nature, while increasing the calorie intake and gaining weight, squats, bench presses, abdominal exercises... five practice days a week without interruption; while increasing training intensity Practice skills, double right angles, S bends, earth ridges...one by one subject, repeated training. "The face is tanned, the arms are thicker, and the weight has increased." In this way, Ma and Palli went from being a "little white" who couldn't even find the start button to completing the restricted road driving course with full marks. Won the praise of the company officers and soldiers, and completed his own strong army assault.

　　"The power of the tank comes from the engine, and the power of the person comes from new ideas." Ma and Pali know well: The branch is built on the connection, and it must be stronger. She led a group of people in the branch, brainstorming ideas, and positioned the company building goal as a "first company for party building in the new era." In recent years, under the leadership of Ma and Pali, the company has successively established 7 characteristic cultural positions including the "Tank Soldier Cultural Corridor" and "Mobile Phone +" learning platform, and compiled the "Hard Bones" Story Collection to create a second classroom. . The officers and soldiers are full of enthusiasm, and the company is full of motivation, and has been rated as "Advanced Grassroots Party Organization" and "Advanced Unit for Grassroots Construction".

　　There is no special treatment in life, and special advantages are emphasized in work. Ma and Palli used women's unique and delicate warmth, such as a pack of snacks when talking, a warming paste during winter training, and a bowl of hot ginger soup after catching a cold. A bit of true feelings won the soldiers' heart. As a leader in the new era, she uses "a picture to include a book" to enhance the theoretical study system; she uses a unique female perspective to tell "those things about love", making education more delicate; she promotes "scientific precision, "Comprehensive confrontation" to enhance training efficiency... The military youth of Ma and Pali is full of forge ahead and brave youth.

　　At dusk, the sky was full of red clouds. Ma and Palli leaped into the cockpit again under the rays of sunlight for night training. Shifting gears, refueling, and releasing the brakes, the "509" tank pierced the tranquility of dusk with smoke and dust, roaring into the depths of the Gobi...
