China News Service, Haikou, November 17 (Li Yehao and Li Zhepeng) "Bachelors and masters, wearing military uniforms, first of all must be soldiers..." In the Sixth Squadron of the New Corps of the Armed Police Hainan Corps training base, such a recruit was particularly eye-catching. His name is Yang Liangliang, the only graduate recruit in the team. When asked about the reason for joining the army, he said without hesitation: "While I am still young, I want to put on a uniform, make my own regret-free choice, and leave no regrets!"
Yang Liangliang, from Hefei, Anhui Province, was awarded a bachelor's degree in June 2021 and was admitted to Anhui University of Technology as a graduate student in the same year.
In September 2021, along with the dream of his youth, he came to the New Corps at the training base of the Armed Police Hainan Corps.

He has longed for the military camp since he was a child. When he applied for the 2017 college entrance examination, he resolutely filled in the Chinese People's Liberation Army Army Engineering University. Although it far exceeded the first line by 40 points, he eventually missed the military academy due to the limited number of places.
During his studies at Anhui University of Technology, he served as a class leader, participated in various competitions and won many honors.
In September 2021, he was successfully admitted to Anhui University of Technology as a graduate student majoring in optical engineering.
By chance, he saw the conscription brochure promoted by the college, recalled his dream that he could not realize four years ago, and decided to join the army.

After rounds of rigorous physical examinations and political trials, he put on olive green and embarked on the train to Hainan, starting his own military career in the recruiting regiment of the training base.
When he first entered the barracks, the fast-paced life in the army of "both eyes open until the lights were turned off" and the strict management system made it difficult for him to adapt.
Queue training, the action is half a beat slowly; physical training, the horizontal bar cannot be pulled up.
These "bottlenecks" once affected Yang Liangliang's mood, and when he thought of his old age and high education, but his comrades who were not as good as his own, he almost "retired".

"The soldiers in my impression should be wearing steel armor and holding steel guns, ready to charge and defend their homes at any time. Unexpectedly, the soldiers in reality will always have substandard quilts, endless cleaning, and walking. Uneven queue..." Soon, squad leader Wei Fangyao noticed Yang Liangliang’s fault, and patiently guided him, "Folding quilts trains character, walking in queue trains temperament, climbing tactics trains blood, and being a soldier is You must learn to endure hardship first." After some persuasion, Yang Liangliang seemed to have found the goal in his heart.

Like Captain Wei, many cadres of the recruits are very concerned about Yang Liangliang and encourage him to stick to his beliefs and realize his dreams.
After some time, Yang Liangliang re-established his confidence in catching up.
If the quilt is not well folded, he sacrifices his rest time, pressing with a bench and pinching it with his hands; if the line is not good, he uses the stride line and the swing arm line to repeat the exercise; if his physical fitness cannot keep up, he tied a sandbag on his calf To practice physical fitness, one run is one hour, and every night you have to make time to practice your arm strength; if you can’t climb quickly, you sneak to the tactical training ground and give yourself a word over and over again, even if your hands are worn out and your knees are swollen. I have never complained about my grievances.

With a wave of fierceness and tenacity, Yang Liangliang quickly took off the hat of the "big problem" in training.
In the staged military assessment organized by the recruits, he was awarded the "Training Star" by the company this month with a number of outstanding and all of the results, and became a "benchmark" for the recruits with great effort.
"When he first came, he was relatively introverted and shy, with poor military quality and extremely uncoordinated body. After a month of tempering experience, he is now optimistic and cheerful and ranks among the best in all assessments." Talking about Yang Liangliang Resilience, squadron leader Lu Gang was full of admiration.

In Yang Liangliang's view, "Enlisting in the army means'returning to zero'! I believe that in a military career full of thorns, a master's degree can also take on the mission of a soldier, and once again launch an assault toward the future..." (End)
