After the division, fate seemed to play a small joke, separating me and A Yu into different companies. However, to our surprise, we ended up being assigned to the same company and the same class! Looking back at our time in the New Recruit Company, it was truly an unforgettable experience. A Yu, with his unwavering determination and hardworking spirit, had undergone countless rigorous training sessions. Day after day of crawling and rolling had gradually stripped away his initial naivety and inexperience from when he first entered the military camp. Remarkably, through his efforts during this period, he managed to lose a significant amount of weight! He transformed into a lean and agile figure.
I had no idea where he managed to swap for his uniform, but I must say, it looked quite fitting on him. The sharp military attire not only highlighted his increasingly resolute demeanor but also made it easy to perceive his gallant spirit as a soldier.
Life in the company was far more colorful compared to our time in the New Recruit Company! Every day involved not only in-depth learning of professional knowledge but also various forms of political education activities. In the evenings, we would gather together to watch the news broadcast, keeping ourselves updated on significant events happening both domestically and internationally.
Thus, we spent over a month in a fulfilling and orderly manner. One night, however, as everyone was lost in sweet dreams, a sudden urgent shout shattered the tranquility of the night. "All personnel, get up quickly!" The voice came from that day's duty officer, whose tone was unusually urgent and serious, as if signaling that something important was about to happen. Everyone was jolted awake from their slumber, rubbing their sleepy eyes and hurriedly putting on their clothes.
"Get up! The squad leader is holding a meeting in the conference room. The rest prepare supplies for transport; fill your water bottles!" At first, I was somewhat dazed by the abruptness of it all. But seeing everyone else moving around, I quickly got up to pack my things. Just as everything was ready, the squad leader arrived.
We took out chairs for a meeting to discuss matters. Due to the severe drought in Yunnan recently, we were ordered by higher-ups to set off early tomorrow morning for drought relief efforts.
Following that, the leadership began methodically assigning specific tasks, including processes for receiving supplies, lists of items needed for preparation, and various related details. When I first learned of this situation, my mind went blank as if struck by a sudden lightning bolt; I completely lost my ability to think. After a brief moment of confusion, complex emotions surged within me—mixed feelings of excitement and unease.
What made me feel so conflicted was that as a rookie who had just joined the company for barely over a month, facing such a daunting disaster relief mission left me feeling uncertain. After all, I didn't have complete confidence in my own abilities. At the same time, the thought of being able to participate personally in this rescue operation and help those affected by disaster ignited a sense of mission within me that I couldn't help but feel excited about. Wasn't this just like the brave soldiers of the People's Liberation Army during the Wenchuan Earthquake? They rushed into disaster areas without hesitation, saving countless lives with their own hands and composing deeply moving heroic ballads.
Amidst this busy yet orderly preparation work, time passed second by second. Before we knew it, everyone had completed all preliminary preparations. At that moment, I glanced at my watch and was surprised to find that it was already four in the morning. Considering we had to wake up early again for intense disaster relief work tomorrow, no one dared to delay any longer; we hurriedly went to bed to try and get some rest before facing even more severe challenges ahead.
When the duty officer blew the wake-up whistle at six o'clock, everyone followed our original plan: Yuan He lined up to check supplies and personnel before heading out to board Dongfeng trucks destined for the disaster area. As we passed through the city center and saw the beautiful cityscape and harmonious crowds outside the window, I thought this must be what it means to protect our homeland.
The journey continued until afternoon when we finally reached our destination—a small town where we set up camp in an abandoned school building. The place wasn't large but still had access to water and electricity. The chief decided that would be our base; we were assigned rooms on the second floor. Due to its age and lack of maintenance over time, it felt like even a slight jump could make the entire building shake. Eventually, we all learned to walk quickly on those creaky floors.
That day after settling in, everyone was extremely tired; thus we went to bed early because real missions awaited us—the disaster relief task was just beginning.
As soon as the wake-up whistle sounded from the duty officer again, everyone seemed energized as if they had been injected with adrenaline; any trace of fatigue from yesterday vanished. After breakfast, we set off.
Our mission that day involved assisting the government with comprehensive cleaning and deep excavation work on water channels. This project held significant importance as it aimed to ensure that water could smoothly reach various fields and reservoirs during subsequent supply efforts—thus safeguarding normal water needs for agricultural production.
