There is a saying in China that "the tiger father has no dog son", so let's talk about the story of Chen Zhishu, the son of the general Chen Geng, today. Chen Zhishu was born in 1954 and is the third son of General Chen Geng.
He was polite and polite, with a bookish air under his glasses.

1.Chen Zhishu has shown great enthusiasm for joining the army since he was a child, and he is as resolute as his father in both appearance and personality. At the age of 12, he went to Marshal *** alone and firmly asked to join the army.
The marshal, to test his resolve, introduced him into the barracks. However, due to his young age, Chen Zhishu was eventually forced to leave the barracks. But he was not discouraged by this, and after returning home, he went straight to the Shenyang Military Region, determined to try to realize his dream again.
However, his wish was again disappointed and he was sent to work on the farm for several months. But Chen Zhishu did not give up, and his enthusiasm and perseverance are admirable. 2.Chen Zhishu is a natural soldier, and his appearance and personality are the same as his father's.

Despite his young age, he was unable to fulfill his wishes. After being sent home, he did not give up because of this, and he ran to the Shenyang Military Region, hoping to continue to serve as a soldier.
However, this time he was not able to do so and was sent to work on the farm for several months. However, Chen Zhishu's enthusiasm and perseverance are admirable, and his dreams have not been shattered because of this.
