I, Li Sen, have entered the age of seventy-two. Time is like a song, life is like a dream, I am a retired employee and a proud veteran. Looking back on the past, that period of military career has always been the brightest star in my heart.
I remember that I had just welcomed our daughter with my beloved wife, and before I could fully savor the joy of becoming a new father, I received a call from the army. At that moment, I knew I was about to embark on an extraordinary path.
In the three months since we entered the army and trained our recruits, we have gone through countless trials and tribulations. Although the days were difficult, it was that time that forged our indestructible comradeship. Because I had read, could read, and could write articles, I performed exceptionally well in the army, and I was soon promoted to a cadre in charge of the work of the Literature and Art Department.
Later, my wife came with the army, and she worked as a cashier in our store here, and she quickly mingled with everyone. Our daughter, quirky, beautiful and cute, was loved by everyone. Whenever I see her, I think of those days spent in the army, which are the most cherished memories of our family.
However, there is no such thing as a feast that will not be dissolved. Our year coincided with the downsizing of the troops, and the entire regiment was disbanded. The moment I left the army, my heart was heavy, and those comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with me were like relatives, and it was difficult for me to let go. We agreed to keep in touch and meet often, no matter how far apart the future is.
After being discharged from the army, I got a job in the city, because of my experience and ability in the army, I directly became a cadre of the unit. My wife also got a job as a cashier at the unit, and our lives gradually got on track. In order to make my family have a better life, I work hard and constantly improve myself.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, we are retired. Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of wealth and a considerable pension. My daughter has also successfully entered a good unit, and our life is getting better and better. My wife has always been a thrifty householder, and we have saved a lot of savings and are looking forward to enjoying life when we retire.
However, there are always things that don't go well in life. Just as we were planning a trip after retirement, our comrade-in-arms Lao Li came with the news that his wife was sick. Rectal cancer, intermediate, requires chemotherapy. Lao Li has spent all his savings for his wife's **, and he anxiously asks us for help.
We were all shocked and saddened to hear the news. Lao Li has always been a good comrade-in-arms among us, and his experience makes us deeply sympathetic. However, although we were all willing to help him, we couldn't afford to spend much money on the emergency. We can only do our little bit and hope to bring him a little warmth.
At that moment, I deeply felt the impermanence of life and the fragility of life. But at the same time, I also saw the deep friendship and selfless dedication between my comrades-in-arms. We have agreed to support each other through every stage of our lives, no matter what the future holds.
Today, we are still in touch and meet regularly. Whenever we recall that period of military life, we will be full of emotion. It was a difficult time, but it became the most precious treasure of our lives. We cherish that experience, and we value our friendship even more. Because we know that in this world, there is nothing more precious than a sincere friendship.
