In 1965, I stepped into the ** plateau and became a recruit. Like my comrades-in-arms, I was greeted with the life of a new soldier, but faced with the unique climate challenges of high altitude, strong ultraviolet rays, and rarefied oxygen. However, as a local, I adapted smoothly and became the best of the recruits.
When he was a recruit, he was assigned to a transport company and learned to drive a tractor Xi. This branch of the army, which is rare in the army, is to adapt to the special geographical environment and pragmatically complete the task of material transfer. At that time, the tractor was rudimentary, without a steering wheel, but was steered by two long handles like crutches. In order to master the handling, we train arm strength, endurance, Xi principles of the tractor and how to troubleshoot.
A few years later, I moved from tractor driver to ship transport. Although the tractor is not enough, it still plays an important role in the case of high mountains and steep slopes. In the construction of troops, tractors played an indispensable role.
In the first year, I went from being uncomfortable to being a "handlebar style". I thought I would change jobs the next year, but I have been spending 7 years on a tractor. At the same time, I grew from a 19-year-old teenager to a 26-year-old in the prime of life.
In 1972, my superiors promoted me to serve as a cadre in the ship transportation team of the Nyingchi Military Sub-district. Our task was to transport military supplies and personnel and vehicles to the Medog garrison, and at the same time to be responsible for combat readiness.
Medog is the only county in the country that is not connected to roads, and the nine-month "heavy snow covering the mountains" has made it an isolated island on the plateau. How to complete various tasks has become the focus of every test.
In August 1985, when the water of the Brahmaputra River swelled, I led my comrades-in-arms to rush to the riverside to rescue as soon as possible. The wind and waves were strong, and I personally took the helm and successfully drove the boat to the river. Although it was more than ten meters away from the shore, in the face of the stranded ship, everyone worked together to successfully get out of trouble. After a day and a night of fighting, nearly 400 people and more than 1,000 cattle and sheep escaped.
During a mission to build the barracks of the Medog garrison, we faced a severe test. After the task was issued, we ate and lived on the ship, and we traveled more than 100 nautical miles in a month, which was a huge amount of labor. Even more worrying is the sudden distress. The ship was loaded with cement, and suddenly the hull lost power, the rudder failed, and it was in danger. I led my comrades-in-arms to use the water crossing pole to resist the reef and urgently repair the water pump. After the pump was successfully repaired, the ship had drifted to more than 1 mile of the rapids. Such dangers, such struggles, are things that we have not been tired of for many years.
Time flies, more than 20 years have passed. During my time as fleet captain, I experienced many hardships and obstacles, but I never gave up. He has made 15 meritorious contributions, and has been rated as an outstanding cadre, an outstanding party member, and a pacesetter who learns from Lei Feng.
When I retired as a lieutenant major, I knew that a person could do a good job as long as he focused on his work. In an organization, hard-working people are always respected. I sincerely hope that this story can inspire more people to write their own legends with hard work and dedication.
