I am happy to see that the waves after the waves push the waves before, and I already know that this year is better than last year.

  In 2013, 200,000;

  In 2015, 800,000;

  In 2017, 1.078 million;

  In 2020, far more than 1.2 million!

  The rising number of college students applying for registration outlines the passion of high-quality young people for joining the army and serving the country year after year.

  Up, up, up!

The curve of the statistical chart is like a stack of waves higher than a stack. It is the pledge of the youth to "turn patriotism into a trip to serve the country", and it is even more so that they "spread their blood in the great practice of realizing the dream of a strong army. The practice of displaying talents on the big stage and quenching into steel in the melting pot of the military camp.

Passionate

  This is a special year.

  The international situation is complicated, the surrounding situation is turbulent, and the new crown pneumonia epidemic continues to affect... Some people have asserted that conscription work must be "cold."

  Therefore, when the spokesperson of the Ministry of National Defense announced on the eve of the National Day that "the enthusiasm of young people of the right age for joining the army and serving the country continued to rise, and the number of applicants exceeded 3 million", countless people's hearts were ups and downs: this generation of youth has passion and responsibility!

  Sun Wenqiang accidentally became a trend leader.

The CCTV Spring Festival Gala has attracted much attention.

Before midnight, according to the public welfare short film "The Best Gift" edited by the doctoral student of China Agricultural University who grew up in the military camp and participated in military parade training, it appeared on the screen, saying, "The family is the smallest country, and the country is a thousand The simple cognition and feelings of "Wanjia"... Sun Wenqiang's upright figure overshadowed a crowd of stars and impressed hundreds of millions of young people.

In his hometown of Yantai City, Shandong Province, more than 5,500 college students followed in his footsteps and wrote their military vows.

  Live up to your youth, live up to your youth, live up to the times!

The waves came back rushing--

  The back wave rushes from inheritance.

After three years of determination, Wang Mingjian, a young man from Weining County, Guizhou Province, finally put on a military uniform.

Wang Mingjian's grandfather, Wang Fakun, is one of the prototypes of the battle hero Liang Sanxi in the movie "The Garland Under the Mountain".

To grow into a hero like his grandfather is Wang Mingjian’s wish since he was a child. For this reason, he worked hard to improve his academic qualifications, continued to exercise and strengthen his physical fitness, and he finally applied for 3 times.

Facing the portrait of his grandfather, Wang Mingjian straightened his chest: "'The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves' is the law of history, and'one generation is stronger than one generation' is the responsibility of youth. I am proud, and I have taken over the'relay baton' to defend my family and the country!"

  The rush of the waves came from dreams.

This autumn, Wang Xinyi, a girl from the Chinese Department of Peking University, gained the "navy blue" of her dream.

Two years ago, this impoverished student from Zaoqiang County, Hebei Province, had his feelings of "thank the poverty" and his optimistic spirit on the whole network.

After entering Yanyuan, she embarked on a new journey, to be a dream chaser, and even a dreamer, to make steel in the melting pot of the military camp!

  The surging back wave stems from responsibility.

At the beginning of the year, the new crown pneumonia epidemic broke out, and Shao Shuai, a fresh graduate from Yichang City, Hubei Province, came to Huoshenshan Hospital as a volunteer.

Seeing the camouflage figure rushing to help Wuhan from all directions, seeing the attachment and trust of the patients and the masses to the soldiers, "At that moment, I especially want to be one of them." Struggle is the brightest background of youth!

Taking off his protective clothing and putting on a green military uniform, Shao Shuai is now an honorable paratrooper.

  The surging after the waves is more derived from gratitude.

"The party and the government helped us get rid of poverty. Joining the army is a dream and a reward." This is a speech from Feng Xiaoping, a fresh graduate of Yunnan Vocational and Technical College and a young Lisu nationality.

Feng Xiaoping's hometown of Nujiang Prefecture, Yunnan Province, is a deeply impoverished area at the national level.

With the care and help of the party and the government, Nujiang Prefecture has achieved a leap from deep regional poverty to overall poverty alleviation.

Poverty alleviation is more thinking about repaying the party's favor, and the number of Nujiang youth applicants has reached a new high, with the number of applications reaching 13.45 times the number of tasks.

This year, hundreds of poverty-stricken counties across the country lifted their heads from poverty, and young people who embarked on a new journey of happy life flocked to the barracks, determined to closely link their ideals with the future of the motherland and the destiny of the nation, and take root in the people. Dedication to the country.

Chase the waves

  Chen Yong, the Minister of the People's Armed Forces Department of Yuhua District, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, did not expect that in such a special year, he would be pushed to the "wind", walk along the waves, and become the most fashionable "anchor."

  At the beginning of the year, the reform of "two conscriptions and two withdrawals" was launched. Chen Yong and his colleagues just completed the conscription propaganda plan to carry out propaganda in downtown areas and enter colleges and universities. The epidemic broke out suddenly, streets and lanes were closed, the opening of schools was postponed, how did the conscription work?

  This is a test of the wisdom and will of military service agencies.

  Those who do not seek change will succeed, those who do not take refuge will enter.

  Fight the epidemic with one hand and conscript with the other.

In Hubei, the 2,497 militia security guards and security teams promoted epidemic prevention knowledge and distributed epidemic prevention materials.

At the same time as masks, disinfection supplies, and daily necessities were distributed to villagers’ homes, there were also anti-epidemic deeds and conscription propaganda brochures that the PLA officers and soldiers invited to fight, dared to fight hard, and charged ahead.

The "shutdown" of urban and rural areas has aroused enthusiasm for military service. The number of applicants for young people, college students and university graduates in the province has far exceeded previous years.

  The chief official acts as the "anchor" and the "cloud" mobilizes.

Chen Yong, in a uniform, sat in front of the camera.

In the first live broadcast, there were more than 50,000 interactive messages.

One week after the broadcast, more than 100 college students signed up for the two universities of Hebei University of Science and Technology and Hebei Normal University, and the total number of college student registrations reached 4 times the number of solicitation tasks!

  Enter employment guidance and embed college online courses.

In Shaanxi, Su Zhenmin, staff officer of the Provincial Military Region Mobilization Bureau, is adapting to his new identity.

The epidemic period coincides with the employment season for college students. In order to ensure employment, Shaanxi Province launched a series of online recruitment fairs for college graduates, and the provincial military districts coordinated in a timely manner and opened consulting seats at 126 college online video job fairs; in the "Zhilian Recruitment" and "Sanqin National Defense" "Sanqin Youth" released the recruitment information...Su Zhenmin and his colleagues worked hard for three months and registered nearly 80,000 people online.

  Ride the waves by waves, the north and the south, the "cloud" conscripts are surging.

  The National Defense Mobilization Department of the Military Commission held a special meeting with the Ministry of Education. In response to the situation of epidemic prevention and control, the online-based and offline-based publicity methods were used to produce two recruitment publicity films, which were broadcast on the central, provincial, municipal, and county-level television stations, mainstream Media websites are broadcast simultaneously; Hubei and Guangdong have established a cross-regional physical examination mechanism to allow college students to complete physical examinations on the spot; Guangxi and Henan understand the big data of college graduates, and contact each person to accurately mobilize; Shandong implements a new model of big data medical history screening and establishes The recruitment medical examination information platform has realized data docking with thousands of hospitals and primary medical and health institutions in 16 prefecture-level cities, so that the physical conditions of recruited young people are under control...

  Close to the beat of the times, the conscription work is flying against the wind.

"Go to the barracks! Set off youth and release energy" has become the choice of more and more aspiring young people.

College students accounted for more than 70% of recruits from many places, and the proportion of college students, especially college graduates, has increased significantly compared with last year, and the scale and structure of college student recruitment continues to be optimized.

Glory

  After more than three months, the scene of riding a horse on the street still appeared in the mind of Wang Zhitian, a recruit from a certain navy unit in the Eastern Theater.

"That was my most glorious moment! When I got the college admission letter, my parents didn't laugh so happily! I must work hard in the army and live up to my fathers and villagers..."

  It was September 6th. The towns and streets of the Bei'an Economic Development Zone in Putian City, Fujian Province organized a farewell event for recruits.

Recruits such as Wang Zhitian, dressed in camouflage uniforms, wearing red flowers on their chests, and riding tall horses, carried out trampling activities along the streets of various towns.

Along the way, I reaped a lot of blessings and admiring eyes.

  "The pride of the whole village!" This popular online video shows the real feelings of many recruits in this September:

  For Li Ding, a recruit from Bingmei Town, Congjiang County, Guizhou Province, it was a farewell to the three fireworks, the Lusheng three songs, and the village;

  For Kwong Jiawei, a recruit in Lanhe Town, Nansha District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, it is the dragon and lion dancing at the door, the gongs and drums, and the glorious plaque hanging;

  For Zeng Yi, a recruit from Guizhou University, it is the school badge that the president personally put on him and the enlistment scholarship awarded to him...

  The harvest is not only glory.

  Wang Zhitian told reporters that for two years in the army, in addition to enlistment incentives, family benefits, and tuition compensation, if you want to continue your studies, you can enter ordinary colleges or adult undergraduates without exams after graduating from higher vocational colleges; The city has all recruited special positions for civil servants, career editors, and state-owned enterprises.

  Adding salaries to fuel the fire, focusing on the delivery of high-quality soldiers to the modern army, and a series of explorations to attract high-quality young people such as Wang Zhitian spread across the country:

  The Ministry of Education’s “24365” campus recruitment network has set up a special area to provide smooth channels for retired college students and soldiers to seek employment; Yunnan Province has made it clear that retired university graduates can apply for household registration with “zero threshold”; Hubei Province stipulates that the province will recruit new grassroots military officials in the future All are for retired college soldiers; Liaoning Province has used 61 civil servants and 1820 institutions and state-owned enterprises to recruit college soldiers; when the Heilongjiang Military Region is open to the public to recruit civilian personnel, it will take out the previous year in addition to the specific directional recruitment positions specified by the superiors. Recruiting more than 20% of the total number of positions, special recruitment of retired college soldiers enlisted from the province...

  The mission is heart-to-heart, glorious, heart-warming, service-oriented, and policy-oriented. High-quality young people with college students as the main body are continuously investing in the strong army.

  The red sun is rising, and its road is bright; the river flows out, and the ocean is smashed.

  Rush, after the wave!

Grow up in the fertile soil of the barracks, and write a brilliant youth chapter on the journey of strengthening the army.
