Then, Yang Jinqun sent more than 100 famous aphorisms, such as "Life is like a flood, it is difficult to stir up beautiful waves unless you meet an island reef" and "Big stones block the way, the brave regard it as a ladder for progress, and the weak regard it as an obstacle for progress". After reading his father's letter, Yang Chunyang no longer feels afraid of difficulties, and his confidence in practicing excellent skills is getting stronger and stronger, and his energy is getting stronger and stronger. During the training of new recruits, he was rewarded. In May 2002, Yang Chunyang became the vice monitor. However, due to lack of management experience and frequent mistakes in work, the party branch of the company decided to "suspend its position as deputy monitor". Although the company cadres have done a lot of ideological work, Yang Chunyang is still depressed. Yang Jinqun's letter gave his son confidence and motivation: "There is no need to lament the hardships and helplessness of life, and the journey of life is inevitable; There is no need to ask for smooth sailing. The road to lofty goals is full of difficulties and twists. Frustration and failure are painful, but they breed hope and success. Stand up straight and stride forward, and success will be in your arms again ... "With the encouragement of his father, Yang Chunyang quickly got out of his confusion and was recommended to the teaching team for training with excellent military quality and became the vice squad leader again.
Entering a military school is the dream of many soldiers. In April 2003, Yang Chunyang confidently signed up for the entrance examination of the military academy. As a result, due to the negligence of local staff when he joined the army, he was disqualified from the examination because of a correction and alteration of archival materials. This sudden blow made Yang Chunyang's heart cold to freezing point. Just as his son was about to break the jar, Yang Jinqun's letter gave Yang Chunyang endless strength: "Son, it is very important to have ideals and goals in life, but we must also do what we can. Once the established wishes and goals cannot be achieved, we must learn to give up. There are thousands of roads to success. As long as you can serve the motherland, mom and dad will be proud of you! " Yang Jinqun wrote three letters to his son in succession, inspiring and inducing his son with a lot of real-life examples and reasons, and not giving up the pursuit of lofty goals because of temporary setbacks.
Letters from home are priceless. Yang Jinqun has written more than 280 letters to his son. This letter, a letter of patriotism and love for the army, helped Yang Chunyang straighten out his life coordinates and stood the test of several important moments. Among the soldiers who enlisted in the whole regiment that year, Yang Chunyang was the first to be commended, the first to be a squad leader, the first to join the party, and the first to be named as an "excellent coach of the four associations". From June, 5438 to February, 2003, Yang Chunyang was selected as an excellent squad leader. In February last year, 65438, Yang Chunyang was awarded the third class merit for his outstanding work performance.
Love warms the hearts of all soldiers.
With the growth and progress of his son, Yang Jinqun deeply realized the auxiliary role of letters in the ideological education of the army, which would have a subtle incentive effect. "Yang Chunyang's confusion is also a life test faced by other soldiers. How young soldiers need the edification, encouragement and guidance of their families at the critical moment of growth and progress! " Therefore, Yang Jinqun took the initiative to carry out correspondence with his comrades around his son and formed a joint force with the troops.
Yang Jinqun cares about other soldiers as much as his son. He often uses the titles of "Yangchun and all comrades in Class Four", "Young Friends in Class Six", "Military Friends in Class Three" and "New Comrades" to exchange letters with soldiers, talk about ideals and life. In the past three years, Yang Jinqun has written more than 240 letters to the soldiers, and more than 80 soldiers have written back to him. Soldiers are willing to talk to him when they encounter twists and turns in their lives. As a result, Yang Chunyang's company specially hired him as a "supernumerary instructor", and the leaders of his regiment used Yang Jinqun's letters as "military teaching materials" to train four new people.
In June 2002, Yang Jinqun learned that his son's class was disunited because of the defeat in the military competition, and immediately wrote to them: "Failure is not necessarily a hero. If you fall and get up from scratch, you must sum up the lessons of failure. If you don't believe in success, you can't spend it. " And follow the temptation: "Comrades come from all corners of the country, with different living habits and different temperaments, but the goal of defending the border and serving the country is the same. Unity is fighting capacity! Young friends, please think about it. If your comrades in the whole class, platoon, company, regiment and border defense are firmly tied together like fences, what a magnificent Great Wall it will be! " Deep and broad fatherly love, like a bright light, cleared the ideological fog of young soldiers and recast a steel collective.
On the afternoon of August 6, 2004, in the meeting room of a frontier defense regiment, Yang Jinqun gave a report on the advanced deeds of national frontier defense. After three hours of reporting, Yang Jinqun won dozens of thunderous applause.
The leader of a frontier defense regiment in Xinjiang Military Region told the reporter that over the past three years, inspired by Yang Jinqun's letter, 96 of the 120 Xiangfan soldiers were rated as advanced or meritorious, and 16 soldiers were admitted to the military academy, and more than 30 soldiers were selected as non-commissioned officers. In 65438+February last year, Yang Chunyang's company was rated as "Model Company of Capital Construction" by Lanzhou Military Region and Xinjiang Military Region, and won the second-class merit.
National defense is connected with you, me and him.
Yang Jinqun believes that national defense is the national defense of the whole people. Looking back at the historical situation and looking forward to today's world, Yang Jinqun deeply understands the fate of the word "national defense". This also made him more deeply realize that it is not enough to educate children and raise soldiers only by the army and a certain parent. It is necessary to mobilize the whole society, especially the majority of military families, to realize the educational pattern of the trinity of the army, society and family.
65438+ Last year 10 On June 5th, Yang Jinqun wrote a letter to the parents of his son's new comrade-in-arms. In the letter, he encouraged his parents to "turn their worries into worries" with his own personal experience, and with the spirit and motivation of looking forward to success and inspiring talents, he joined hands with everyone to contribute to national defense construction.
In March last year, Yang Jinqun also issued a proposal to the military and civilians in the city to fulfill their obligations, perform their duties and devote their love to national defense. In his proposal, he wrote passionately: "National defense is linked to you, me and him, and peaceful maintenance of thousands of households. It is suggested that every family member and every citizen should devote their energy and love to care for and encourage soldiers to serve with peace of mind and help them grow into talents. As long as everyone contributes their love and strength, our army's winning ability will be further improved, our national defense strength will be further enhanced, and our country will be more stable, United and prosperous! "
Yang Jinqun took pains to make use of holidays, national defense education days and the annual conscription period to make reports and publicize national defense knowledge. During last year's conscription and this year's recruit training, he went to a teaching brigade in the garrison area, the teaching brigade in the Hubei Military Region and the militia training teams in various cities and counties, giving more than 20 patriotic training reports for school-age youth, newly enlisted soldiers and militia reservists, with tens of thousands of listeners. Yang Jinqun's patriotic support for the army deeply touched a large number of acquaintances and strangers. In Xiangfan alone, more than 1000 people were affected, and they wrote letters to Xiangfan soldiers to encourage them to make contributions in the army and win glory for their hometown folks.
In order to raise the national defense awareness of the whole people, Yang Jinqun set up a hotline of "sharing the love of national defense", set up an e-mail address, and set up a "webpage of Yang Jinqun's education of children and soldiers" on "Hanjiang Net" in Xiangfan City. The hotline provides services for military families and officers and men all day on weekends and holidays. E-mail and web pages are devoted to exchanging experiences with military families in educating children and soldiers, and mobilizing everyone to encourage their relatives to love the army and serve the country through letters, telephones and emails. Yang Jinqun also initiated the establishment of the "Military Family Mutual Aid Association" and produced the "Military Family Business Card", which clarified the work and contact information needed to help each other solve problems and ensure their children to serve with peace of mind. At the same time, there are three chapters in the agreement: it is forbidden to transfer children serving in border defense to the mainland through relationships, it is forbidden to transfer children serving in hard areas to rich areas, and it is forbidden to transfer children serving in remote areas to large and medium-sized cities. Everything is centered on national defense construction, and the needs of the army are the first need.
Yang Jinqun's advanced deeds of educating his soldiers have aroused strong repercussions in Zaoyang, Xiangfan and even Hubei Province. Since August last year, the party, government and army of Xiangfan City have set up a condolence group to carry out the activities of "going to the border, going to the military camp, and cordially expressing condolences to the soldiers", and sending the care and entrustment of relatives and hometown people to the hearts of every Xiangfan officer and soldier in time. The Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee produced and distributed the deeds CD of "Yang Jinqun, a model of patriotic support for the army", and filmed and recorded the interactive CD of "Message from relatives" and "Military camp fax". The Hubei Provincial Party Committee, the provincial government and the provincial military region held a report meeting on the advanced deeds of "Yang Jinqun, a family member of a model soldier who taught his son to raise soldiers" and made a decision to learn from Yang Jinqun. At present, there is an upsurge of patriotic support for the army in Jingchu.
A brief comment
