Hurry up and get out of bed, hurry up and get out of bed! I was awakened by a noisy urging voice before dawn. After sitting on the train for a whole day and night, I felt a bit tired but also filled with anticipation. After tidying up, I looked out the window and saw that we had arrived at a beautiful city, known as Kunming, the "Spring City," which is also my second hometown.
After we arrived, the Yuan He troops lined up. The Jie Bing officer took out a thick stack of files to begin roll call and called us out one by one. I answered in a daze and followed onto a vehicle. At that time, it was still not completely bright outside; the fog hung low, and there were not many people on the road. On our way to the barracks, all I could hear was the howling wind and the sirens of the warrior vehicles ahead. Surprisingly, I felt calm. A fellow recruit next to me handed me a cigarette and said, "Smoke up, brother; after this, you can only reminisce about this taste." Just as I took a few puffs, we arrived. The Jie Bing squad leader shouted for us to put it out immediately. Through the gap in the tarpaulin, I eagerly looked outside to catch a glimpse of this mysterious unit and was struck by eight words that left a profound impact on my spirit: "Fight to the death with me; victory is assured."
When my name was called, I stepped out to follow. I thought to myself, here we go again—Liu Xiaoshuai! "Here!" I replied.
I glanced at the thin, dark-skinned second lieutenant squad leader and obediently walked over to him. The path to the barracks wasn’t far; just up a slope and we would arrive. He didn’t say much along the way, and I didn’t know what to say either. I casually asked, "Chief, will we still be here after we leave the unit?" He ignored me, creating an unusually awkward atmosphere.
Upon reaching the barracks, I was assigned to the second squad. I thought as a newcomer I could choose my bunk, but when I entered the room—wow—it was mostly full. I ended up on the upper bunk in the middle next to a comrade from Northeast China named A Yu. He was somewhat chubby and of average height with a typical family background. Although his military performance wasn’t particularly impressive, he was a hardworking guy and also became one of my good brothers.
There’s a saying in the army: "Dumplings when you board the train, noodles when you get off."
