According to the Military Service Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the term of compulsory soldiers is two years. National laws and regulations can not be changed by reform alone, but formulated and revised by the National People's Congress in strict accordance with relevant procedures! If there are any changes in laws and regulations in our country, they will be announced as soon as possible, so the military service law has not been changed! The two-year service period will not change, because 1999 "People's Republic of China (PRC) Military Service Law" changed the three years of conscripts to two years!
College students join the army
College students are conscripts for two years. After two years, you can choose to retire and return to school or continue to serve in the army. If you stay in the army, you can be a soldier if you don't want to, and you can be a soldier for as many years as you want, unless you are forced to retire.
