When youth encounters wind and snow, approaching the group of female soldiers on the plateau——
"We have been on the plateau for a year!"
I have been to the outpost hanging in the clouds, I have felt the steepness of the snow-capped mountains, I have seen the bright stars and rivers in the night, and I have approached a group of the most lovely people.
Now I have become "them", and my heart is surging with the clearest love for the motherland.
——Excerpted from the diary of Kazakh female soldier Dilida Gazareti
Looking up at the Xinghai again, the female missile shooter and the high-ranking soldier in the heart of Baji, the bits and pieces that have been stationed on the plateau for a year, are shining like stars at this moment.
It was the first time she carried a missile on the plateau, her eyes darkened and she slumped on the ground... This Kazakh girl never imagined that the training courses that could be easily completed on the plain would be changed every time and every time the missile was moved. It made her breathe faster and her heart beat faster.
A stubborn soul will not give in to difficulties.
This year, I have walked through the wind and snow, and walked to the top of the mountain with thin oxygen. Every time I "fight" with difficulties, the first thing I have to overcome is myself; to overcome myself, I must first overcome my "inner fear".
When Jiaobaji was able to carry a missile, she was proud of herself despite her exhaustion.
"It's been a year, and I've done it." I've been stationed on the plateau for a year, and on the road of perseverance, every hard journey, every wind and snow, let the female soldiers taste the taste of guarding the plateau - "It's a little sweet, a little bit. Shibu, I'm a little happy to take off..."
The female soldiers said that perseverance is their proudest youth background.
encounter
The sun shines on the snow on the top of the mountain, and the tactical basic action assessment field is "hot".
A whistle sounded, and Private Wu Yongxuan quickly fell to the ground, crawling through the barbed wire, gritted his teeth and dashed across the finish line with the sound of refueling.
"21 seconds!" This post-00 female soldier from Guangdong set a new personal record again.
Hearing this result, she jumped up with joy, her smart eyes narrowed into a crescent moon with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, she covered her face again and squatted on the ground... The comrades in arms rushed up, and what they heard was the choking sound of the little girl "woo woo".
These are tears of excitement, tears of happiness after hard work.
Before joining the army, Wu Yongxuan had been to the farthest place, only 100 kilometers away from home.
Last year, when she came to the snowy plateau from the pleasant southern country, the number became "5,600 kilometers."
Walking on the plateau, the girl's biggest feeling is the cold, biting cold.
For this, she hid in bed and cried more than once.
She misses her home far away in Guangdong, where she could wear skirts and drink soda.
When I was a child, because I liked the magazine "China National Geographic", I used to yearn for the scenery of the plateau, but now "staying in the plateau" has become a severe test... Wu Yongxuan suddenly understood: walking into the military camp, the glory brought by the uniform is also a kind of Responsibility; the road ahead, she must bite the bullet and go down.
From home to the plateau, spanning thousands of kilometers, Wu Yongxuan has encountered the most difficult challenges in his life, and also has a warm encounter in his life.
Another assessment, crossing the finish line, this subject that once made her cry and say "too difficult" has now been easily won.
Although the "good" results did not rank among the top female soldiers, she was extremely happy: "This time the assessment has been improved again."
Three months after she first entered the plateau, Wu Yongxuan, who used to love to cry and laugh, became much calmer. She still loves to laugh and sometimes cry, but the tears and laughter in her heart have already raised the "standard": tears and laughter , flow only for victory.
Standing at the post under the Milky Way, the overhead is bright, Wu Yongxuan often thinks of the "Internet catchphrase": "Behind the soldiers are thousands of lights."
Whenever a meteor streaks across the sky, she still makes secret wishes as she did when she was a child, but most of her wishes today are related to growth.
Writer Samuel Ullman once said: "Youth is a strong will, a fiery emotion, and youth is the source of life flowing freely." When youth encounters the plateau, female soldiers are looking forward to meeting a better version of themselves.
When she was in high school, the parents of the senior soldier Daiqian told her that a group of soldiers were stationed at the cloud post in the western part of the motherland, which was the closest place to the sky.
After becoming an adult, facing the encouraging eyes of her parents, she started a period of charging towards "the place closest to the sky".
Dare to charge, because there is a dream in my heart.
The college student signed up for the army, "failed and fought repeatedly", and did not successfully join the army until the third time, and came to the most difficult plateau as he wished.
When she first entered the military camp, she became a girl with a "hard work label" with a weak physical fitness. As a missile shooter, she held a launcher higher than herself and remained motionless for dozens of minutes... It is precisely because of hard work, She became the fastest female soldier to adapt to the plateau environment.
In his childhood, First Class Soldier Baji had experienced a fire.
When she and her family were in distress, the uncle of the People's Liberation Army who was stationed nearby rescued them from the fire.
Courage has since become the motto of this little girl.
When I arrived at the plateau, Jiaobage, who was high-quality and willing to endure hardships, became a leader among the female soldiers. "Because of the camouflage green, I was able to meet the plateau."
In the heart of Jiaobaji, encountering the plateau has become the greatest happiness in her heart.

As a signal soldier, the first class soldier Zhang Dandan will never forget the experience of patrolling the line for the first time - the snow-capped mountains, the cold wind like a knife, the altitude is getting higher and higher, she feels that every step she takes is on the edge of the limit of life.
The difficulty and danger of the road surpassed all the roads she had traveled before.
When you step down, the snow will not reach your knees; if you are not careful, you will slip and fall.
The most difficult thing is to connect the line operation.
The optical cable is extremely thin, so it is necessary to cut the wire with pliers, strip off each strand of wire, and then put it into the optical cable splice box to fuse the fiber. It takes more than 20 minutes for one operation.
He simply took off his gloves, and Zhang Dandan let the cold wind mixed with snow slag "cut" his fingers like a knife.
Her hands quickly became numb, and she insisted on gritting her teeth.
"If you feel hard, it means that you are running faster." Zhang Dandan appreciates this sentence, especially after walking on the plateau.
Today, Zhang Dandan is a "golden signal soldier", more skilled in connecting lines, and more familiar with the lines he patrols. In her opinion, all hardships are the process of enriching life, and only the courage to endure hardships can weigh the weight of youth .
If you understand the plateau, you will also understand the youth.
At the beginning of the plateau, she entered the station and started the work of "setting up camp". The women's volleyball team leader Wang Lingli gathered the female soldiers and said, "Girls, we have to stand up half the sky..." As she spoke, she carried the camouflage net and climbed to the roof. .
The female soldiers behind her followed suit, digging up and down the frozen soil with shovels and picks.
In half a month, Wang Lingli led the female soldiers to "carry" through the initial adaptation period.
Half a year later, when live ammunition was fired, the female missile shooters made a "full house" in one fell swoop.
Li Tingting, a corporal from Henan, used to be the top of the company's telephony business and participated in major communication support tasks on behalf of the company many times.
After going to the plateau, Li Tingting ordered herself a "devil training plan" - memorizing the "secret language table" and "communication code" at all levels.
In that competition, she won the first place in the speech profession in one fell swoop.
"It doesn't matter who you were a year ago or who you were yesterday. What matters is who you are today and who you will be tomorrow." After walking on the plateau for a year, the first class soldier Guo Shuting became the training of the women's missile class aces.
"The enemy's plane is faster, my missile is faster!" On the training ground, she was valiant and full of confidence, and her performance in the assessment broke the company's record for many years.
Standing in front of the dormitory window, looking at the snow-capped mountains outside the window, this little girl seemed to hear the sound of flowers blooming in her ears.
Senior Soldier Yan Yuchen has always had a dream - to see green on the plateau.
She asked her family to send soil from the northeast of her hometown and planted a green dill in the basin.
After lunch, put the pot of green dill in front of the window to bask in the sun, and water and fertilize it after dinner.
Half a year has passed, and the green dill has turned bright green.
The female soldiers and girls all came to take pictures with this "pleasant tree" in their spare time.
Green, hope - in the hearts of female soldiers, this green is a "stubborn youth" that belongs to them alone.
As they said themselves: "Understanding the plateau, we choose a life with warm sunshine in our hearts, which is a kind of vigorous youth."
love
Last fall, Private Li Tingting failed the military exam.
In the face of "walking and staying at the intersection", she did not hesitate, choosing to stay in the team and change the rank of sergeant and sergeant, and continue to stick to it.
"Unfortunately, there is only one life to dedicate to the motherland." The classic lines in this movie reverberated in Li Tingting's heart again and again when she walked to the plateau.
"This line back then gave people a shocking impression; now I taste this line again, and I deeply understand the love contained in this line." Li Tingting said.
Li Tingting is a signal soldier.
For a year, she followed the team to the door for maintenance, and went to almost all the outposts and points in this area.
She found that the higher the altitude of the post, the simpler and more cordial the smiles of the officers and soldiers.
"A clear smile is because of love." In Li Tingting's view, it is the pure spiritual world in their hearts that makes the comrades not afraid of hardships and rejoice.
In a border defense company, Li Tingting remembered the sentence written in a prominent position in the company: "A soldier stands as a flag, and when a soldier falls, it is a monument!" The comrades told her that this is also the soul of the post.
"Why not me?" This is the question that Corporal Huo Xiaoyu of the Sanitation Company wrote in his diary in the past.
Before going to the plateau, the group held the "Top Ten Iron Cavalry Heirs of the Year" awards. Seeing each advanced model come to the stage to receive the award, this young girl with high aspirations was full of envy: "I also want to stand on the dazzling award stage. "
On the plateau, Huo Xiaoyu trained hard.
She is a medical ambulance. She has not only turned her professional skills into housekeeping skills, but also volunteered to be the only female driver in the company. In the competition organized by her superiors last year, she participated in 3 courses and won "1 first, 2 second" good grades.
"The harder you work, the luckier you get!" At the beginning of this year, Huo Xiaoyu stepped onto the podium as she wished and took over the baton of honor. She smiled brightly.
That night, she posted the photo of herself accepting the award on the diary. The girl in the photo had a "plateau red" face, and her figure was no longer as thin as before enlisting in the army, but she was very proud: "The beauty of female soldiers can only be understood. Those who love it understand."
"I'm sorry, I want to stay..." Holding the phone that day, Private Chen Xinxin said what was in his heart to his boyfriend in the distance.
At the beginning of his enlistment, Chen Xinxin made a "two-year appointment" with his boyfriend.
After guarding the plateau for a year, she chose to "repent" after thinking over and over again.
"The starry sky on the plateau is bright, and those who watch the starry sky are as pure as stars." Chen Xinxin said to his boyfriend several times, "If I can stay, I will be one of them. This kind of pure life is worth going to and hold fast."
Staying on the plateau, everyone is a shining star in the sky.
In order to stay and continue their persistent dreams, some of these lovely female soldiers gave up their unfinished studies, some gave up spending time with their loved ones, and some gave up the superior life of returning to the big city... In the hearts of many girls, " "Stay" is not a difficult choice, because they - love!
At the beginning of this year, 10 of the 12 female soldiers who had completed their service period chose to stay in the team.
"My motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment." During the training that day, the female soldiers climbed the highest mountain in front of them vigorously.
Standing on the top of the mountains, everyone couldn't help but sing this song.
The melodious and melodious singing drifted over the Karakoram Plateau, adding a proud color to the majestic mountains.
Perhaps, in the eyes of this group of female soldiers, no mountain is more magnificent than the Karakoram.
The Karakoram, which they guard day and night, is the most beautiful scenery, and it is worth fighting and loving with youth and more effort.
