When the spring breeze in 1969 blew through the vast land of China with the breath of the new era, a young man named Liu Xianglin, full of longing for the future, stepped into the green barracks. This year, he became a soldier. In the company, Liu Xianglin quickly mingled with his comrades with his easy-going personality. In the third year, he formed a deep friendship with a fellow female soldier at the communications station. The two often sit in the corner of the barracks and talk about interesting things about their hometown and their dreams for the future.
Liu Xianglin's humorous speech can always make the female soldiers next to him laugh happily. The innocent communication between them is like the warmest and most touching scenery in the barracks. But again, not all good things come to pass. The leader noticed their frequent interactions and reminded Liu Xianglin to pay attention to proportion. After all, in the context of that era, the relationship between men and women was always magnified and interpreted, and the slightest carelessness could cause misunderstandings.
Recalling that when he was 20 years old, he didn't want to enlist in the army, but he was arranged to work in a military service club under his father's strict discipline, Liu Xianglin always felt a trace of helplessness in his heart. In 1949, when the People's Republic of China was first established, it was born in this era full of hope and change, and it should have had its own chapter of youth. But fate always seems to like to play a joke on him, and when he and his friends are having fun, he accidentally ignites the haystack, causing damage to the village.
This accident directly changed the trajectory of his life, and in the face of the opportunity to recruit troops in the context of the self-defense counterattack on Zhenbao Island, the teenager devoted himself to military life to find his own value and positioning. After spending that simple and beautiful time with the female soldier Xiang Ying, the two already know each other well.
They walked through spring, summer, autumn and winter together, and spent their leisure time in the sound of books;Xiang Ying has penetrated into every corner of Liu Xianglin's family - she is not only articulate, kind and amiable, but also takes the initiative to participate in housework and contribute to Xiang Lin's mother in the kitchen. But there are unforeseen circumstances, and when He Xiaomin, the girl who Liu Xianglin has set up a family affair in his hometown and specially saw him off, learned through a letter that her fiancé had a close relationship with a female soldier, her heart suddenly fluctuated.
Against all odds, He Xiaomin came to the front of the army, where she witnessed Liu Xianglin's care and liking for another girl in her eyes - a scene that repeated in her mind like a movie**. Love and duty, military and personal choice, this is a story of struggle and perseverance. She does the laundry and cooks for him, trying to save the relationship;He struggled between army life and personal emotions and eventually made the decision to leave the army.
This experience has taught us that we need to find a balance between responsibility, emotion, and social stress at all times. Every choice carries responsibility and persistence for the future, and in the emotional world, there may not be a perfect answer. But only by finding options that meet the true demands of our hearts can we find a home and realize our ideals. This story may make us think about the path that everyone needs to face and be determined to follow.
