Approaching Yao Yao, a reconnaissance staff officer of the Second Mobile Corps of the Armed Police——
"Life needs love and persistence"
The yellow fog barrier filled all around, Yao Yao looked so petite on the huge training ground.
Wearing a camouflage uniform, she armed with a gun to flexibly assault between various obstacles.
In the teaching hall, staring at the front one after another.
On the sunny podium, Yao Yao smiled clearly, her soft words revealing self-confidence and calmness.
From the teaching demonstration site of actual combat and rapid shooting to the teaching site of the political teachers of the "Four Sessions", every time the cheers and applause sounded, Yao Yao's understanding of "love" became more profound.
This girl who graduated from normal school did not expect that she would let her "teacher dream" shine into reality in this way.
In the 11 years of enlisting in the army, Yao Yao's training has caused Yao Yao to shed tears several times, but she never made her think of giving up.
Whether wearing "camouflage green" standing on the coveted podium, or demonstrating training moves for male special warfare players in the military training ground...The position is changing, the role is changing, Yao Yao's inner persistence has not changed.
"Plant love in your life, and the breeze will come, and the sun will come. Running in your love every day, time will make people full of rewards."
"Participating in'Devil Week', the most important thing I learned is to be brave"
During the Lunar New Year holiday this year, the Lunar New Year movie "Hello, Li Huanying" became popular.
When the WeChat Moments were swiped by the "Who is your Li Huanying" video, Yao Yao's childhood memories were also staged in front of her eyes.
His mother was strict with Yao Yao since she was a child.
Wearing a military uniform is what she has always expected of her daughter.
When Yao Yao's mother was young, the battle on the border was still in smoke, and the epic heroic story moved people of an era.
Although there are few female recruits and missed the military, Yao Yao's mother has always hidden a "green dream" in her heart.
"My mother's youth ideals have continued to me." In 2010, Yao Yao, a student at the local normal university, walked directly into Yingmen from the school gate.
Choosing to become a soldier requires more than just courage.
In the afternoon, the harsh sunlight shone on the concrete floor, and Yao Yao "ran and took up the line" around the camp.
While bending over sideways, while running fast with both legs, sweat ran down after a lot of physical exertion.
She takes up the thread with one hand and manages the thread with the other, but she can't free her hands to wipe the sweat...
Recruits in Xialian, Yao Yao became a signal soldier.
In order to "play the 500-meter reeling line beautifully and beautifully", she would run around the camp every day.
From an open campus to a strict military camp, Yao Yao often cries while calling home.
But as long as she returned to the training ground, she became the "strong girl" again.
The telephony work seems simple, but the hardship behind it has surprised many people.
Yao Yao and his comrades read newspapers to practice Mandarin, and hundreds of phone numbers must be familiar with each other...
In 2014, Yao Yao, who performed well in the signal soldier position, was successfully promoted.
Entering the gate of the military academy, as a former female armed police soldier, she completed the "first class" she gave on stage since graduating from the Normal University.
The sunlight shines through the window lattice, and the classroom is warm and bright.
Yao Yao stood in the center of the podium, her slim figure, like a small tree that just turned green in spring.
The concentrated eyes cast from the audience gradually dissipated the tension in her heart.
Until now, Yao Yao still clearly remembers the theme of that class-"Love can last long years."
After finishing her military school studies, Yao Yao, who returned to her original unit, accepted the challenge again and came to a position she was "unfamiliar with"-the reconnaissance company.
In the reconnaissance company, Yao Yao's ears were impaired due to shooting practice.
But the deepest thing in her memory was not the pain on her body, but a brick that could never be “fucked away”.
"To do push-ups, you have to hold it under your hands or under your feet; to practice your arm strength, hold a wooden stick that is shorter than a rolling pin, hang the brick with a rope, and roll it up a little bit; when running, you must either hold it It, or against it..." Speaking of this brick that "worries" her, Yao Yao always has an expression of love and "hate".
In 2016, Yao Yao, who is already the platoon leader of the reconnaissance company, led the female soldiers of the women's special warfare squad to participate in the extreme training of "Devil Week".
In Shangri-La, Yunnan, the Jinsha River rushes past.
The roaring river roared and rushed, but Yao Yao felt the world extremely quiet.
In her eyes, only the dangling rope on the water remained.
This is the "Crossing the River" lesson in training.
The spring is very cold, and the river is extremely cold.
The height difference between the rope and the river is 10 meters. Standing on the edge of the rock wall, Yao Yao hesitates.
In order not to delay the march of the entire army, the dispatcher began to urge it mercilessly.
"Others can do it, I will do it too!" Yao Yao closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and leaped... the moment her feet stepped on the other side, the joy of conquering fear is still fresh in her memory.
During the "Devil Week" training, the magnificent scenery along the way is like a "blocking tiger" with a training background.
Over the snowy mountains, shooting on the water, hunting in the mountains and woods... Yao Yao and the male soldier carry the same rucksack, carry the same weight of combat equipment, and train for more than 10 hours a day.
With dozens of training courses in 7 days, the female soldiers led by her did not lose to the male soldiers at all.
"Participating in the'Devil Week', the most important thing I learned is to be brave." Yao Yao said.
In many cases, as long as the first step is taken, the road behind will naturally come down...
"I'm also afraid of pain and hardship, but at that time, I can't retreat in any way." I faced challenges time and time again, and stepped forward in the face of dangers, Yao Yao's military path went further and further. firm.
With her outstanding achievements, the women's special warfare squad she led was commended by the All-China Women's Federation as the "National March 8th Red Flag Collective".
"I never dreamed that I would be a female political instructor in the men's squadron."
Yao Yao's retired mother often dances at the community center in Kunming, her hometown.
Whenever a friend asks about her daughter’s current situation, her mother always says: "She is my pride."
Going home from vacation, Yao Yao's favorite thing is to accompany her mother to the vegetable market.
At the stall, the fruits and vegetables of various colors were shining and lovely, and the mother and daughter took them home and cooked them carefully.
"I like the smell of fireworks in life, and I can always bring different feelings to myself." Yao Yao said with emotion that sometimes leading soldiers and cooking are the same reason. Everyone can become a shining star by educating in a suitable way.
In 2018, Yao Yao became the first political instructor of the squadron after the reform.
"I never dreamed that I would be a female political instructor in the men's squadron." Yao Yao said. What made her even more unexpected was that she could take up this responsibility and enjoy it-pouring her dreams and enthusiasm into the training ground. Podium", grow up with young comrades in arms.
On the dusty training ground, Yao Yao methodically taught the scouts how to fight against "violent terrorists":
"The enemy does not move, I move-how do junior special forces act preemptively in the face of violent terrorists?" "Enemy moves, I don't move-how do special forces with a certain training base subdue violent terrorists?" "Enemy moves, I move-how do special forces fighters quickly shoot in the face of the stubborn violent terrorists?"...
For these highly skilled subjects, Yao Yao always takes great pains to ponder the teaching methods.
After some research, her innovative teaching work was commended by superiors.
"The purpose of training is to apply skills to actual combat." She also helped everyone sort out their ideas, integrate the "Practical Quick Shooting" lesson into the drill scene, and boost the shooting skills of several "Sharpshooters" in the squadron to reach the "peak".
In the eyes of the male soldiers, Yao Yao, the “pacer” coach on the training ground, is also an excellent political instructor of the “Four Sessions”.
Her teaching is lively and flexible, and her young hearts are infected.
At the beginning of last year, Yao Yao saw the news of the sudden death of basketball player Kobe on her mobile phone. She immediately thought of the young guys who like to compete on the basketball court.
In that education class, Yao Yao first talked about "those things about basketball" with everyone.
When Yao Yao blurted out the results of Kobe's previous games, everyone knew that the seemingly weak female instructor was actually a forward for the high school and college women's basketball team.
During the exchange, Yao Yao used the inspirational story of Kobe's training to encourage her comrades: "Since I have chosen a distant place, I will only take care of the wind and rain! Life requires love, and more persistence..."
Stepping off the podium, Yao Yao is gentle and meticulous in life, and is the "confidential sister" of many fighters.
For a while, Hu Yipeng, a soldier with good military qualities, was at a loss.
The squad leader and platoon leader tried to persuade him many times to no avail. Hearing that the young man decided to retire, Yao Yao found him.
Hu Yipeng thought that the instructor would "repeat the old tune", Yao Yao just smiled and said to him: "Shall we cooperate to produce a blackboard newspaper?"
Hu Yipeng has a good handwriting, Yao Yao invited him to run a board newspaper "The teacher is famous."
When planning content, the two chatted while checking information.
Hu Yipeng also shared his concerns to Yao Yao.
The blackboard newspaper won the first prize in the appraisal.
Encouraged at the small meeting of Yao Yao, Hu Yipeng suddenly found his way.
In the subsequent military training, he worked harder.
On the playground every day, he is always the figure who persists till the end...
A few months later, the corps organized a competition among the backbone of the "Peak" special warfare reconnaissance team. Hu Yipeng won the second place in the "reconnaissance team" personal all-around, and won the third-class merit at the end of the year.
When Hu Yipeng's application for a noncommissioned officer was placed in front of Yao Yao, her heart was sweeter than eating honey.
Yao Yao has practiced calligraphy since she was a child, and her favorite is to write kai style.
Her writing is neat and powerful, as serious and strong as her personality.
When the squadron summarized the work at the end of the year, she took the initiative to ask the soldiers to fill in the award certificates.
"The footprints of progress are deep and shallow, and growth is written in the strokes of life." Yao Yao smiled comfortedly as he wrote about Hu Yipeng's deeds.
"I can add a little color to a better life"
In the camp, a brand-new "shooting shelter" was particularly eye-catching, and half a year ago, this shelter was just a drawing in Yao Yao's computer.
In June last year, Yao Yao was transferred to the post of reconnaissance staff.
Building a "shooting shelter" for the unit, collecting research and judgment intelligence, guiding the training of the reconnaissance team... Transformation again, she once again learned and worked from scratch.
"As long as doing this can be a little helpful to the construction of the army, I am willing to do my best to do it well." It is with this idea that Yao Yao cherishes every different post and in every post. Every step of the company is steadfast.
From the signal soldier to the scout, from the political instructor to the reconnaissance staff officer, she fought hard in the face of all the difficulties and challenges she had never imagined.
Looking back, Yao Yao is sometimes surprised that she has gone so far.
In 2018, Yao Yao went back to school on the 80th anniversary of the establishment of his alma mater.
She graduated from Yunnan Normal University, where the former site of Southwest Associated University was located.
Back on campus, standing in front of the familiar statue of Mr. Wen Yiduo, Yao Yao thought of the famous quote in Mr. Wen's poems, and remembered her original intention to be a teacher-don't ask about harvest, but ask about hard work.
"'Instructor' is not just a name, but also a role model in action. I fought side by side with my comrades and achieved a better self." Yao Yao said, "Now I am no longer their instructor, but I told them before I hope to accompany them to go further along the road of military life."
In Yao Yao's heart, there is a person who has deeply influenced her.
As early as a few years ago, Yao Yao began to pay attention to the deeds of Zhang Guimei, the “model of the times”.
"I was born as a mountain instead of a stream. I want to look down on mediocre ravines from the top of the peaks. I am born as a man, not a grass, and I stand on the shoulders of great men and despise humble cowards!" Inspire.
"Principal Zhang Guimei used dedication to illuminate the children's life." Yao Yao said, "Seeing her story, I feel that I can do more in my current position."
On the desk of Yao Yao's dormitory, there is a clay vase.
There is a gerbera in the vase.
In spring, the gerbera blooms just right.
Yao Yao, who grew up in Yunnan, likes this flower.
She also likes traveling. The flower-arranged bottle was bought when she was traveling in Dali.
Looking at the clouds and clouds in the sky, she can always feel good in the sun.
Since becoming a soldier, Yao Yao has gained a new perspective on life.
During long-distance training, she and her comrades walked through Shangri-La, over the torrential Jinsha River, and climbed over the silent snow-capped mountains.
The great rivers and mountains of the motherland during the journey are lingering, and every leap is a vivid example of the lecture.
"The magnificent rivers and mountains are guarded by us. This persistence is worthy of love." Yao Yao said, "I want to do my best to add color to a better life."
"she says"
Hello Tomorrow
■Special Correspondent Tu Dunfa Correspondent Jia Kelin
Reporter: The dream of being a "teacher" is reflected in reality in the form of coaches and political instructors. How do you feel?
Yao Yao: "Dreams come true" is probably like this, but lectures are only part of the work of the instructor.
"Instructor" is not just a job title or a title, but also a direction in a task and a role model in action.
Therefore, I try my best to teach every lesson well, take every soldier well, and do everything well.
My comrades-in-arms and I completed the tasks that I had never dared to think about. It was the common strength of everyone that helped me realize my dream.
Reporter: Once you agreed with your mother to "retire after two years of work", what changed your mind later?
Yao Yao: Here, I have not only realized my dream, but also turned every day into my passion.
I wanted to be a teacher before, sticking to this dream, and step by step to the barracks podium; now I am not an instructor, I still do my current job with enthusiasm, do every intelligence research, mark every picture, Take good care of every shift.
Reporter: "The more mature people are, the smaller they appear." How do you understand this sentence?
Yao Yao: When I was in high school, I learned a text called "Awe of Life".
Some people think that the sign of growth is becoming stronger, but I think that along the way, I am mature and brave, but I feel more insignificant and my awe of life is getting stronger and stronger.
There is a gap between "thinking" and "doing", which allows me to maintain my humility and caution towards work and life. It also strengthens my habit of starting small, persisting in small things, and doing my best.
Reporter: When you gradually become the "confidential sister" of the soldiers, what do you most want to do well?
Yao Yao: The life of the squadron is the most beautiful period of life.
I want to teach my brothers something, maybe a sentence, a habit, or an attitude that can help them in this unique experience.
So I am willing to do some "small things", such as taking them to read every day, always maintaining the ability to learn; turning off the water and lights, saving resources, and establishing the concept of low-carbon environmental protection; feeling the life and the world, and letting them be in the military camp Nor does it divorce from society and so on.
Although I am no longer their instructor, when they leave the army, I hope that my influence on them can become a kind of strength to accompany them on the move.
Reporter: Your favorite song is "Tomorrow, Hello", why do you like this song?
Yao Yao: "Tomorrow" is a new starting point.
The past cannot be pursued, and tomorrow can be done.
Looking forward to tomorrow and living in the present, this is my attitude towards life.
