In the plain of northern Henan in July, the scorching sun is like fire. Early this morning, the lively sound of gongs and drums shattered the tranquility of Kuicunying Village in Daba Town, Fengquan District, Xinxiang City, Henan Province. The military and civilian leaders of Fengquan District, as well as representatives of the Information Support Force Engineering University, visited the home of Guo Mingcong, a young man from Camp Village, Block Town, and presented him with an admission letter to the Information Support Force Engineering University. In the crowd, a military officer caught Guo Mingcong's attention. Uncle, do you remember me? ”Guo Mingcong tentatively asked. This specialized military officer's name is Wang Hao, a retired soldier who is currently employed at the Armed Forces Department of Dahua Town. Faced with the young man's question, Wang Hao felt a bit confused and awkwardly smiled, saying, "Have we met before? I can't remember." "Four years ago, there was a big flood here, and you drove the assault boat to take me and my family to a safe place. ”Guo Mingcong's memories bring everyone's thoughts back to four years ago - in July 2021, many parts of Henan Province suffered from severe floods, and large towns were severely affected. After the disaster, Wang Hao, who was then the emergency platoon leader of the militia in Dahua Town, led the militia to charge forward and drove a charging boat to evacuate the trapped villagers, with young Guo Mingcong among them. At that time, Guo Mingcong, who was only 14 years old, sat in the bumpy charging boat and looked at Wang Hao's resolute face and the sweat stains on his camouflage suit, deeply moved in his heart. After arriving at the resettlement site, I told my parents that I want to join the army when I grow up! ”Guo Mingcong said. After the flood receded and entered the post disaster reconstruction stage, Guo Mingcong voluntarily signed up and went to the neighboring Shizhuang Village with his teachers and classmates to transport materials and clean up the silt. At the reconstruction site, he saw busy Wang Hao again. Wang Hao didn't know that his actions with his comrades had planted the seeds of joining the army and serving the country in the heart of a young man. This love that spans four years surprised and delighted Wang Hao. Looking at the tall and upright young man who was about to enter the military academy, Wang Hao's eyes were full of satisfaction. He patted Guo Mingcong's shoulder and praised him, saying, "Child, well done, a good man is about to join the army!" As he bid farewell, Wang Hao solemnly wrote down his phone number and handed it to Guo Mingcong, telling him that he could call him if he had any questions or difficulties related to learning, training, or life in the future. Wang Hao encouraged, "Wearing military uniform makes you a soldier. I hope you study hard and practice hard in the military academy, hone your skills, and soon bring glory to your hometown!"
