"Kill—Kill—Kill—" There were roars on the training ground of a special operations brigade in the Tibet Military Region. It was the first batch of female army highland special warfare soldiers of the brigade who made the roar. Their average age was only 20 years old.
"Every time I see those border soldiers on TV, I will be very moved, and my heart is full of enthusiasm, and I dream of defending my country like them." "Because it's cool!" "Yes, yes, I also watch TV and think the female soldiers are too cool. I didn’t expect to come here to find that it’s all suffering.”...Speaking of the reasons for being a soldier, the girls gave different answers, which in their hearts were enough to persuade themselves to leave their hometown and go to a plateau above 4000 meters above sea level. Receive high-intensity training.

In the morning and evening in Lhasa, the outdoor temperature approaches zero degrees.
After a while of assassination training, the young female soldier had forgotten the cold.
Crystal beads of sweat flowed down their foreheads, and their collars were also wet.
During the training, female soldier Li Hongfang worked very hard, and there was a "female man" heart hidden beneath her quiet appearance.
"She has always dreamed of joining the army, so when there is a chance to realize her dream, we are very supportive." Li Hongfang's brother Li Duhong said on the phone that she was very independent since she was a child and can endure hardships. When she was in the army, she became more and more independent. She is more mature and rational, and she has a clear plan for her future. She is my role model.

"Train seriously when training, and talk about training when you are not training. Anyway, we can find a lot of fun in one thing and repeat it. If we are tired, we will talk about the next thing." The female soldier Shui Jing told reporters that this kind of life is very difficult. It's boring, but everyone enjoys it.
The 20-year-old years are the time to show their individuality. The female soldiers come from all corners of the world with different personalities, but after getting along for a period of time, they learn to tolerate and care for each other, and they are like a family.
"When I first arrived, I cried when I was homesick, and now everyone has become each other's family." Female soldier Zhang Huan said. In getting along day after day, the comrade-in-arms became the closest person.

Amdi is from Linzhi, Tibet, and she is very proud to join the army in her hometown.
Enthusiastic parents allow comrades in arms to experience the warmth of their families even thousands of miles away.
"Now my parents treat them as their own children, and I have to ask them each time in the video. They also learned to sing the Tibetan version of birthday songs with me." Amdi said with a smile.
Apart from training, they, like other girls, cannot resist the temptation of food. Their biggest wish is to go out for a hot pot together.
"On weekends, only two people can go there at a time, so I don't know when this wish can be realized." Female soldier Zhou Yujie said with regret.
In a blink of an eye, it has been a year since I came to the Special Operations Brigade.
Female soldier Zhang Ying opened the photo album to see the photos they took when they first entered the special forces brigade. Now their faces are darker and their physiques are stronger.
At first, there were more than 20 female soldiers who participated in the assessment (the first selection) with them. After being eliminated, only 12 soldiers remained.
Pass the assessment to complete the armed crossing, enter the favorite military school, participate in parachute training and overlook the entire snowy plateau from high altitude, achieve full scores in various training scores, and participate in sniper training missions... These are the New Year's wishes of these young female soldiers. , Female special warfare soldiers have to pay more sweat and tears than other soldiers-only through hard work can steel.
On a plateau with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, the female special warfare soldiers broke through and surpassed their limits time and time again. In the actual combat training on the plateau, they turned into sonorous roses and bloomed the most beautiful flowers at the border of the motherland.
