If you get the first class, the number of places is particularly small. On the whole, you have made a great contribution to the army and have a great influence on the whole army, so you may be awarded the first class merit. Then there is the honorary title. Generally, people who get honorary titles are heroes, because a monitor of my former company won the honorary title of hero model who sacrificed himself to save others. He saved two drowning children.

There is a saying in the army that "nine martyrs, one lying down". It can be seen how difficult it is to win the first class. In wartime, the first class was bought with life. Moreover, many soldiers in our peacekeeping force will be awarded first-class merit after their sacrifice. But besides being a martyr, there are other ways to get first-class merit. For example, winning the first place in international military competitions.

Some people do not want to sacrifice or have no physical strength. Another way is to engage in scientific research. In many military research institutes, many scientists have won this honor, such as Academician Ma Mingwei. But also won the first class twice. If this is an ordinary soldier, it is unthinkable.
