During military training, an instructor told us that if another war broke out one day, if China's army didn't have enough soldiers, we had the responsibility to take part in the war directly, because we had received formal military training. I was particularly shocked. Although we are all honed in military training, we don't know a lot of theoretical knowledge. I have only heard a little about China's national defense, military thought, international environment, modern machinery and information warfare. The course of military theory is very beneficial to our college students. Although we are now facing a very small chance of fighting, as a patriotic youth, it is very important to understand the international situation and China's national defense strategy.

Military skill training is the main way of national defense education for college students in China. Military skill training takes the form of centralized organization and implementation by schools or batch rotation training by training bases. Military skill training mainly includes PLA regulations, light weapons shooting, tactics, military topography, comprehensive training and other education and training. Through military training, college students can master the working principle and performance of weapons and equipment in their hands, temper their hard-working spirit and strong perseverance, enhance organizational discipline, be familiar with corresponding combat actions, and improve the overall tactical level.

Nowadays, college students can't just "turn a deaf ear to things outside the window". If college students want to be promising young people, they must have a national heart. The concept of national defense is a very important national spirit course. For national defense, we should not only stay at the stage of old-fashioned wars such as War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, but also have a full and profound understanding and research on modern information warfare, know the cutting-edge high-end technology and innovate constantly. We must also absorb the essence of past military thoughts, digest and absorb them, and skillfully apply them to modern wars.

We have many neighboring countries and have territorial and border disputes with most countries. For example, the dispute between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea, the dispute with many Southeast Asian countries over the Nansha Islands, the issue of Taiwan Province Province and the border dispute between China and India. To solve these problems, we should not only use diplomatic skills flexibly, but also have a strong people's army as the backing. Only by building a strong world-class modern army can I effectively protect any of my rights and interests. As the masters of the future country, contemporary college students must have a strong sense of national defense. Only in this way, when we govern the country, can we decisively "show our swords" when the national interests are violated.

Confucianism has always emphasized that "benevolent people have different opinions", "benevolence is good outside" and "harmony is precious", emphasizing "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" and "carry things with morality". The people of China have always loved peace and opposed wars, especially wars of aggression. China was the most powerful country in the world at that time, whether it was the "rule of Zhenguan" in the Tang Dynasty or the "prosperous period of Qianlong" in the Qing Dynasty, but it disdained resorting to military expansion and instead implemented a good-neighborly and friendly policy to encourage business exchanges. In Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty, merchants from all over the country gathered, as lively as today's new york metropolis; The world-famous "Silk Road" recorded the historical track of China ancestors' striving for "peaceful development". In the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He made seven voyages to the Western Ocean and reached North Africa as far as possible, leaving behind friendship, diplomacy and trade in goods, but he did not occupy an inch of land overseas. This is a huge stage of tragedy and comedy of war and peace. The rise of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation are the most exciting themes throughout the ups and downs and spectacular dramas. Entering the 2 1 century, after more than 20 years of reform and opening up, China has drawn a new blueprint for building a well-off society in an all-round way, and the Chinese nation is embarking on the road of great rejuvenation with an irresistible trend. China has once again become a vivid protagonist in the historical spotlight, attracting worldwide attention.
