The military and civilians are a family. For 30 years, Sun Xiaogen has not been named or profitable.

　　After graduating from high school, Sun Xiaogen, who had a dream of joining the army, signed up to join the army, but he didn't get his wish due to his eyesight. Sun Xiaogen said that afterwards, he went out to apprenticeship, and in 1990 he learned a barber craft and went home to Shengzhou to open a barber shop.

　　“The day after the barber shop opened, two armed police officers came to the shop to have a haircut during the weekend.” Sun Xiaogen recalled, “They paid after the haircut, but I didn’t charge it, and told them that I admired the soldiers and I was able to do haircuts for them. happy."

　　Sun Xiaogen’s barbershop’s business is getting better and better due to good conversation and excellent haircutting skills. Many armed policemen often seek Sun Xiaogen’s haircut during their breaks. At that time, seeing that it was not convenient for the soldiers to go out, Sun Xiaogen wondered if he could go to the army to have a haircut for them? After exchanging ideas with local armed police cadres, the two sides reached an agreement.

　　From then on, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, sun or rain, Sun Xiaogen would go to the army regularly to give soldiers a haircut within the prescribed time. Over the past 30 years, the armed police soldiers have changed from crop to crop, but the soldier's master Xiaogen has always been the same.

　　"Although I didn't wear a green uniform, I was able to be with them often, and I felt that I was also their comrade-in-arms." Sun Xiaogen said proudly, "They treat me as a brother, and it makes me realize my'military dream'."

"He is our comrade-in-arms"

　　"I heard the story of Master Xiaogen when I was in the recruit company, but I didn't believe it at that time." Feng Shubao, the sergeant squad leader of Shengzhou Squadron, recalled that something happened later that moved him.

　　Feng Shubao, who was still a recruit at the time, was on duty alone at the self-defense post for the first time. It happened to be winter, there was heavy snow in the still sky, and there was silence all around. Suddenly, he heard a "bang-bang" knock on the door, and then saw a middle-aged uncle standing in front of the squadron with white snow on his head and holding a hairdressing box in his hand.

　　"That was the first time I saw Master Xiaogen. He really went through rain or shine, braving so much snow to give us a haircut. At that time, I was very moved." Feng Shubao said.

　　In fact, Sun Xiaogen is a very well-known local barber, known as the "sweet head". There are many people looking for his haircut, and the price is not cheap.

　　"Especially since he is old now, he still insists on getting a haircut regularly. This kind of spirit is very worthy of our study." Instructor Wang Pengcheng said with emotion, "He cares about us like our big brother. In our hearts, he has already become ours. Good comrades."

"I will always stick to it"

　　It is not difficult to do good things, but the hard part is to do good things for a lifetime. Sun Xiaogen said that soldiers in peacetime are also the "loveliest people", and his selfless dedication moved him. Although he is 55 years old this year, he said he would insist on cutting haircuts for soldiers until he couldn't handle it.

　　"I have dealt with the armed police for 30 years. Over the years, I have seen them persist in training and studying techniques regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter." Sun Xiaogen said that he also wanted to make the soldiers feel the warmth of the "second hometown" through voluntary haircuts. , Feel the warmth of the residents of the residents.

　　This year, because of the epidemic, Sun Xiaogen was unable to go to the troops to have haircuts for the soldiers for a long time. “I always thought about what to do if the soldiers’ hair grows and no one cares about it, and what to do if it’s not handled well."

　　A few days ago, the armed police cadre called him and said that he could go to the army for a haircut, and Sun Xiaogen was very excited. Sun Xiaogen’s wife, Wang Zhujin, said in an interview, “I am also happy when I look at him when he is happy, and I am also very supportive of him in continuing to arrange his hair for the soldiers.”

　　The army and the land are family members, and the army and the people have fish and water conditions. Sun Xiaogen has warmed the hearts of the soldiers with his 30-year haircut operation, and the armed police soldiers are also actively training and preparing to guard the "Master Xiaogen" in their hearts.
