Write in front
Since 3 years ago, “post-00s” have entered the barracks one after another. They have been questioned from a secular perspective just like the situation of the “post-80s” and “post-90s” in those years. Because of this, they are more eager to be understood and recognized. But in any case, people must accept the fact that sooner or later they will become the main force of the army and the main body of the barracks.
Walking on the snow-covered plateau, the reporter saw the towering snow-capped mountains, and even the unique faces of the officers and soldiers stationed in training—black and purple cracked lips, panting nostrils, faces burned like copper plates by ultraviolet rays… different youth There are different appearances, a generation of soldiers has the style of a generation of soldiers. Practice has proved that after the baptism of the plateau winds and snow, and the experience of preparing for war, the “post-00” soldiers can also carry the mission like a mountain with their youth and strong shoulders.
With immediate effect, the basic-level fax edition of the People’s Liberation Army Daily has launched a series of reports on “Entering the Barracks Post-00s·Reporters Standing on the Plateau”, telling the story of these post-00s soldiers fighting the plateau and tempering their growth. stay tuned.

The snow-covered plateau at night was very cold, Wang Binyuan opened his rucksack, took out the mattress, and made preparations for going to bed. The words written with a marker on the surface of the mattress are particularly eye-catching–
“I don’t want to be a flower in the greenhouse, I want to prove myself! Compared with others, compared with myself, make a little progress every day…”
Wang Binyuan told reporters that this is his letter of determination and his declaration of youth, “I see it every day, and I have infinite motivation!” After coming to the plateau, in order to motivate himself, he wrote this on the surface of the mattress. Xingzi.
The 19-year-old Wang Binyuan is a tank commander and corporal rank of the fourth tank of the second battalion of a synthetic regiment in the Xinjiang Military Region. Like many “post-00s” in the eyes of the public, he used to not like to read books and love to surf the Internet, but since childhood he liked to play “war” games with his friends, and he was mostly accompanied by toy guns, tank models, and cannon models.
Wang Binyuan said that he was particularly obsessed with the military TV series “Soldier Assault”, and because of this TV series, he chose to enter the hot military camp.
However, life in the army gave him a newcomer, his physical stamina was dragged down, and his life was unsuitable… At the beginning of his enlistment, he was at a loss for what to do. What irritated him even more was that his elder brother, who had been a “student tyrant” since he was a child, was admitted to Xi’an Jiaotong University.
“Brothers of my compatriots, why is the gap so big?” The parents sighed inadvertently, which aroused Wang Binyuan’s eagerness to win.
“When I was running, I had to clenched my teeth and stared at the first place; I forced myself to be the most proficient when I practiced operations…” said Wang Binyuan. During the new training period, I only thought about training. Time flies, the bones are getting stronger day by day, and the will is getting stronger day by day. In the new recruits under the company assessment, he received a good result in the general evaluation of excellent.
After the next connection, Wang Binyuan would get up half an hour early every day to run a 5km run. He often used the noon or break time to study the equipment. After the lights were turned off at night, he took the initiative to “turn on a small stove” to learn theories…The hard work will eventually reap, and now he has continued. He passed the professional grading assessment of driving, shooting, and communication, and became the youngest tank captain in the company.
“Because it is my own choice, I have to be responsible for it to the end.” Hearing that the troops will be stationed on the plateau, Wang Binyuan took the initiative to submit a letter of invitation to the company.
There are always too many tests on the plateau, and it can always witness the growth of a young soldier. Once, Wang Binyuan suffered a lung infection and had a high fever of 39.6°C. When he was rushed to the hospital, he was still worried about his tank in a daze. Soon after he recovered from his illness, he couldn’t wait to show up on the training ground…
“Becoming a soldier, this is the most correct choice in my life.” Wang Binyuan said, and his dim yearning when he was young brought him to the barracks. From the moment he put on the military uniform, his beacon of youth had been lit…
When he said this, Wang Binyuan’s eyes were extremely firm.
On March 8th, when many peers were immersed in the shopping spree, the 19-year-old female soldier Fan Yuyao of the regiment’s guard service company was on guard duty at the -23℃ snowy outpost.
Last year, Fan Yuyao, who had been in the army for less than a year, together with 22 other female soldiers, solemnly handed in a letter to the Communist Youth League Party Committee and rushed to the Kunlun Snow Region.
“Since I cut off my long hair, walked into the barracks, and put on the military uniform, I have understood responsibility and responsibility. Looking at the traces of training left by my hands, I have found the pride of realizing my self-worth, and I have experienced the hard work and hard work. Satisfaction.” Fan Yuyao said.
When they first went to the plateau, due to weather and environmental reasons, many soldiers had symptoms such as anemia, hair loss, and sunken nails. “Lack of oxygen can’t be lack of energy!” These young soldiers, who have just grown up, overcame the harsh natural conditions with tenacious perseverance, and stayed on the plateau for several months.
Talking about these “post-00s”, the regiment political commissar Gong Yihong sighed and proud: “Their performance really exceeded our expectations.”
“When I first went to the plateau, I had all kinds of discomforts, strong altitude sickness, unbearable headaches, and stomach churning, but I was not afraid. When I thought of the mission and responsibilities represented by the Army Emblem of Bayi, I thought of my beloved motherland and relatives. The determination and courage for all difficulties.”
“I once climbed to a post more than 5,300 meters above sea level with a weight of tens of kilograms, and held my post against the wind and snow like a knife, because I know that the post is the battle post.”
“I used to climb a peak of more than 5,800 meters above sea level with my equipment on my back. The stones along the road were as sharp as a knife and braved the cold light. The perennial snow covered my knees. But I am not afraid because the place I am holding is China. There are people I love the most in the land that I protect.”
…
In the group, the reporter saw the declaration of youth written by the “post-00” soldiers, and couldn’t help but feel moved. Today with diverse choices, more and more “post-00s” choose to enter the barracks, exercise their skills on the plateau, and let the wind and snow temper their will. Through their words, the reporters deeply felt that in their hearts, being a soldier is actually a very pure thing-because they like it, because they want to do something for this country.
“Let youth shine in the struggle”, this is what youth looks like! The strong sense of mission, honor and responsibility exuded by these “post-00” soldiers constitutes the spirit of the soldiers in the new era. As the song sings: “In the vast sea of people, who am I… I blend my youth into the rivers of the motherland…”
