General Zhang Zhen, a legend in a battle robe, his life is like a dazzling starlight in the night sky, forever embedded in the long river of our history. This is a story, an admirable story, and a legend full of twists and turns and helplessness. He once danced knives and guns in the army, and created a brilliant battlefield ;But when he dreamed of bidding farewell to the sonorous war song and enjoying the old age of his life, he encountered unforeseen changes.
In 1985, he submitted his retirement application with great joy. He looks forward to strolling through the countryside with his wife, touching the mottled marks left by the years, and savoring every drop of sweetness in life. However, fate played a mischievous trick on him, rejecting his desire to retire. At that moment when he should have hung up his crown and retreated, he was reused for another 13 years.
This general has left glorious footprints on the stage of history. He once sweated like rain on the battlefield filled with gunpowder, led his comrades forward with courage and wisdom, and witnessed his bravery and decisiveness in every battle. However, the passage of time has not forgiven anyone, and even the brave general has felt the vicissitudes of time. His body was no longer as solid as a rock, and his state of mind gradually fell silent. It's time to say goodbye to your career, let go of your pride, and enjoy a dull and comfortable life.
However, the call of the organization shattered his dream of retirement. The old general always sat alone in the courtyard in the dead of night, and all that came to his mind was the perplexed question: "Where should I go?"His heart was full of entanglement and helplessness, and the hesitation in his heart became more and more difficult to get rid of.
He once expressed his concerns to the leader: "I am old and frail, how can I be up to this important task?"However, the answer of the then vice chairman of the Central Military Commission was: The country needs your wisdom and experience, and your role is irreplaceable. These words made him fall into a long period of contemplation. Responsibility and personal wishes are intertwined, and the waves set off in his heart make him struggle for a long time. In the end, a sense of responsibility prevailed over personal aspirations, and he decided to shoulder the responsibility of the country again.

This kind of wordless support made him feel the understanding of his family, but it also added a sense of guilt to his heart. This unspeakable contradiction made his life extremely difficult.
As General Zhang Zhen once again shouldered his responsibilities, the rhythm of his life was once again hampered by the imprint of war. Despite his old age and frailty, he devoted himself to the work of the National Defense University with high morale.

In every lecture, with affectionate eyes and rich experience, he strives to make students understand that soldiers are not only carrying guns to fight, but also shouldering the safety of the country. He taught not only military theory, but also responsibility and patriotism.
Although his body is no longer young, his heart is full of expectations for the future of his country. He put down the ** on the battlefield, picked up the whip, and nourished generations of military talents with wisdom and love. His podium became the crystallization of wisdom and cultivated batch after batch of outstanding students. Whenever he shared his military experience and life insights in class, the invisible contagion inspired the deepest love and responsibility in the hearts of the students.
