 . A young friend wrote to me and asked, 'what kind of person should I be?' I answered him, 'be a soldier.' Another friend asked me, 'how do you deal with life?' I still said, 'be a soldier.' The author of Ode to the warrior once wrote this: I am surging in this endless and torrential torrent of life. I should chase this torrent, and pursue it to create a broader and deeper torrent by myself. If I were a lamp, its purpose was to shine through the darkness. If I were a tide, I would stir up the waves to wash away all the stale deposits by the sea. This passage describes the feelings of the soldiers appropriately. In this era, soldiers are the most needed. But such soldiers don't have to go to war with guns. His weapons are not necessarily bullets. His weapons can also be knowledge, faith and strong will. He does not have to shed the blood of the enemy, but he is more sure to kill the enemy. Soldiers always pursue light. He did not lie in the clear sky to enjoy the sun, but lit a torch in the dark night to light the way for people to go to the dawn. It's a soldier's job to disperse the darkness. He does not avoid the darkness, but he has to face the darkness and fight with the demons and monsters hiding in the shadow. He wants to destroy them and get light. Soldiers don't know how to compromise. He won't stop fighting until he gets light. Soldiers are always young. He doesn't hesitate, he doesn't rest. He went deep into the crowd, looking for flies, poisonous mosquitoes and other things that harm human beings. He constantly attacked them and refused to live under the same sky with them. For soldiers, life is a constant battle. He either lives with light or dies with scars. In battle, strength only increases, faith only strengthens. It is the 'future' that guides the soldiers in battle, and the 'future' gives hope and encouragement. Soldiers will never lose the vitality of youth. Soldiers don't know about desperation and desperation. Even on the ruins of failure, he had to pile up broken bricks and stones to rebuild the level nine pagoda. No blow can break the will of a soldier. Only when he died did he close his eyes. Soldiers don't know how to flinch. His steps are firm. He set his goal and went straight ahead. He is not afraid to fall over a stumbling block, no obstacle can make him change his mind. Illusions must not blind the eyes of soldiers. It is faith that dominates the actions of soldiers. He was able to endure all hardships and pains to achieve the goal he had chosen. He can't give up his work unless he dies. This is the soldier we need now. Such soldiers do not necessarily have superhuman abilities. He is an ordinary man. Everyone can be a soldier, as long as he has determination. So I use the words of 'be a soldier' to encourage those young friends who are hesitating and depressed. |
