  It is understood that among the retired officers, there are not only grassroots cadres who are rooted in the masses and work hard, but also staff officers who have worked hard and strategize, as well as professional backbones who have overcome difficulties and committed themselves to the construction of the Chinese navy during their service. It is the selfless dedication of generations of officers and soldiers that makes the base stride forward and steadily in the new era of strong army.

  A white wave, a navy man for his life. Saying goodbye to the lingering military camp, I wish all retired veterans, in the new journey of life, will not forget their original aspirations, keep their mission in mind, and have good news and a bright future! (Finish)
