The head of the regiment came to inspect the food, I dare not to be hypocritical, but I was actually praised!
In 1975, it was a time of gunpowder. I served as the Chief of Staff of the Third Company, where I managed the logistics services. The regimental commander rarely went down to the grassroots level, but on November 15, an order changed everything. The head of the regiment is coming, and he wants to find out our food.
At that time, the level of food was not bad, but the company commander proposed to upgrade the food to cater to the visit of the regiment commander. I disagree, advocating the truest side. After a heated discussion, everyone voted to treat the head of the regiment according to the usual standards.
When the head of the regiment arrived on the 17th, my heart was already stirring. At lunchtime, the dishes on the table are embarrassing. Sure enough, the regiment commander was not satisfied, his brows were tightly locked, and the company commander was covered in cold sweat. I felt remorseful in my heart, and felt that it might be better to obey the company commander.
However, before leaving, the regiment commander praised me for my persistence. I was overjoyed that this "Trapped Beast Fight" turned out to be an unexpected victory. The company commander was even more smiling, and our real efforts were recognized.
This experience has made me deeply realize that we must stick to the truth, do the right thing, and do not have to change for the sake of hypocrisy. Leaders should see the most authentic side and not be blinded by superficial appearances. Since then, I have been more sincere in my approach to leaders and things, and this character has become a creed of mine in my later life.
This incident became an experience in my life, and it also made me understand some truths. Sometimes, sticking to the truth can run into resistance, but only by persevering can you reap greater rewards. I became the Secretary General Liu who was praised by the regiment commander for insisting on truthfulness. This honor is very gratifying to me and reinforces my belief that authenticity is always the best strategy.
This "Trapped Beast Fight" did not end with the departure of the regimental commander. On the contrary, it became a turning point for our triple company. The company commander took a deep breath, patted me on the shoulder, and said to me, "Lao Liu, I'm glad I listened to you this time!" You are a good comrade, I will definitely learn more from you, my ideological consciousness is not enough, I must do a good review when I go back. ”
These words made me feel very gratified, and also made me understand a truth: sincerity and truthfulness are the most touching qualities. Although sometimes the straightforward personality can be disliked, this does not prevent me from leaving a deep impression on the head of the regiment.
Sending off the regimental commander, our three companies were unexpectedly rated "good". This kind of evaluation makes us realize that not pandering and not being hypocritical will not make us lose anything, but gain more recognition. What the head of the regiment recognized was not superficial work, but our truth and persistence.
This experience not only gave me a personal training, but also set a benchmark for the entire Sanlian. Since then, we have insisted more on authenticity, not catering to formality, just to show the most authentic side. We have proved with practical actions that hypocrisy and superficial efforts cannot last, but truth and persistence are the brightest light.
This story may have been a small episode in my military career, but it had a profound impact on me. In the rest of my career, I have always adhered to the principles of authenticity and perseverance, and achieved more. The regiment's praise is not only an affirmation of my personality, but also a praise for my true quality.
Looking back now, that time seems to have become a legend of the rivers and lakes, and I have become one of the martial arts characters who insist on the truth. This is not only an experience, but also a baptism of the soul, teaching me to insist that truth is the best when facing difficulties. This is a proud adventure in my life, which has made me understand that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and only truth cannot be bullied.
After all, honor does not come from the disguise of hypocrisy, but from the courage to insist on the truth. In this ever-changing world, I choose to be my true self, which is perhaps the most precious treasure. The captain's praise is only a short-term joy, but insisting on the true quality is the foundation of my life.
A blessing in disguise, a radiant in truth. I will continue to insist on writing my legends with truth, so that every moment shines with the light of truth. The rivers and lakes are sinister, and I still choose to move forward bravely, because I know that only truth can become more and more brilliant in the baptism of the years.
