The first ray of sunshine of the new year always arrives here first - the easternmost part of the land map of our motherland. While most people are still asleep in their dreams, the officers and soldiers of the Fuyuan Squadron of the Jiamusi Branch of the Heilongjiang Armed Police Force stationed here have welcomed the sunrise into the country through the vast snowy plains. Facing the rising sun, officers and soldiers wrote their one-year expectations into a letter to their future selves. Between the lines, it is filled with growth, perseverance, and responsibility, reflecting the brand new appearance of a outpost and a team in the tide of the times. Tian Jian, a new recruit from Qinglong, Guizhou, who advocates standing up for the motherland, comes from a hometown with many big banyan trees. He said that when he first arrived at Fuyuan Squadron, it was like a small tree merging into a forest. He was too small and too lucky. The first time he walked into the honor room of the squadron, Tian Jian was shocked. Medals and banners covered the entire wall, including "National Advanced Grassroots Party Organization", "National May Fourth Red Flag Youth League Branch", 2 collective first-class merit awards, 7 collective second-class merit awards, and 11 collective third class merit awards... The instructor told him that what he saw before him was only a part of it, and some honors needed to be felt at the post, such as the "last two class post". Located at the eastern pole of the motherland, the 'last two posts' are not just the second to last posts. Guo Jiajia, the deputy squad leader who enlisted five years earlier than him, said, "It is the inheritance of the spirit of the squadron." This post starts at 2 o'clock in the morning, and in the summer, you can welcome the rising sun at the guard post. "At that moment, you will truly understand the meaning of 'welcoming the sun into the motherland.' Tian Jian noticed that before joining this post, the veterans were somewhat different. They will wake up early and repeatedly tidy up their clothes in front of the mirror - the hat emblem should be straight, the collar should be flat, and the belt should be tight again and again. Guo Housekeeper smiled and said, "You'll know when it's your turn." His palms were sweating. ”Tian Jian recalled the scene when he first stood at the "last two shifts". In the darkness, the surroundings were so quiet that only a few bird songs could be heard occasionally. He maintained a standing posture, with his eyes fixed on the front. As time passed, the sky gradually faded from dark black to deep gray, and the outline of the distant mountains slowly appeared. Just as my feet were slightly swollen, a crack appeared in the ridge line in front of me, and golden light shone through the clouds, illuminating everything in my sight. The first ray of sunshine shone on my face, making me feel happy and straight. ”Tian Jian said that the sense of mission that surged in his heart at that moment would never be forgotten for the rest of his life. On New Year's Eve, Tian Jian followed the squad leader to the highest point in Fuyuan City, Dongji Pavilion, to perform duty. As the night grew darker, the lights below the mountain lit up one by one, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance from time to time. Looking at the lights of thousands of houses, Tian Jian thought of Qinglong's hometown thousands of miles away. Now, Tian Jian has passed the duty qualification certification assessment and has undergone training at various checkpoints of the squadron, constantly growing and improving. He often thinks of the big banyan tree in front of his house, whose roots hang into the soil and grow into new trunks. Tian Jian felt that he had also become such a tree - rooted in the land of the eastern pole of the motherland, found direction, and stood on every post for the motherland. As soon as the Spring Festival of the Year of the Horse passed, First Class Sergeant Wang Kun became busy with his new goal of "leaving experience to his comrades and blessings to the military camp". He always feels like time is not enough - in December of this year, he will take off his military uniform and bid farewell to the post he has held for 14 years. That's really fast, it seems like I just enlisted yesterday. ”From a new recruit with the lowest physical fitness to a backbone who has been awarded the third class merit twice, Wang Kun witnessed the changes in the squadron firsthand. When I first joined in 2013, I lived in an old building. ”He pointed to the old photo and said, 'In winter, you have to wear woolen clothes when sleeping at night, and the windows need to be sealed tightly with plastic cloth in advance.' Nowadays, the new barracks have bright and clean windows, sufficient heating, air conditioning, and water heaters as standard, and the reading room and training hall are also fully equipped. Previously, there was only one fixed telephone in the entire squadron, but now mobile phone management has been centralized into the squad, and video calls have made homes no longer far away. The bigger changes are in unseen places. In the past, standing guard and performing duties mainly relied on foot and eye power. The latest information technology duty system has equipped the sentry posts with "thousand mile eyes" and "windward ears". The deep integration of civil defense and technical defense results in more precise duty and more efficient military forces. But the good tradition of the squadron has never changed among generations of officers and soldiers. As he was about to retire, Wang Kun cherished the last opportunity to recruit new soldiers. On the first lesson of the whistle, Wang Kun led them through the prevention and control area. "This is a warning zone, and this cement joint freezes first in winter." He compared it with the electronic map and pointed out every detail marked by the system. During the specialized training, he taught step-by-step how to monitor and fill out checklists. When new recruits operate independently, he corrected problems on the side. He did these things very carefully, just like when his class monitor took care of him back then. Every week at the team affairs meeting, Wang Kun submits a "On duty Observation Note". New recruits' indecisiveness in handling certain types of alarm pop ups and electronic log entries that are prone to omissions are included in the analysis of the duty situation to promote the optimization of the training plan for the squadron. It was late at night, and Wang Kun was organizing his work notes accumulated over the years, which were filled with experience in handling various unexpected situations and equipment status under different weather conditions... He planned to input all of these into the squadron's "experience library" before leaving the team. I hope that soldiers will step on our shoulders and move forward one after another. "This is the wish of veteran Wang Kun. Like them, becoming an excellent party member "Corporal Zhao Zilong has a strong sense of determination. When he watched 'Soldier Assault' in middle school, he remembered 'never give up, never give up'. In order to join the army, he volunteered for four consecutive years from the age of 18 until the fifth year when he finally put on his military uniform. On the day when the new recruits joined, the veterans rushed to pick up their luggage and carry backpacks, leading them all the way into the team and arranging everything properly. It's like going home, "Zhao Zilong said. The people here make him feel close. After spending a long time together, he felt a special energy emanating from them. Last winter, the canteen sewer was blocked. The then instructor Chen Hongyu and the key members of the squadron dug up the frozen soil together. The first one jumped into the knee deep sewage pit, scooped up the sewage with a basin, and dredged the sewer pipe. They stayed in the ice and oil stains for more than two hours. More often than not, this energy is quiet. After turning off the lights, the hallway was dimly lit, and someone silently wired and installed voice controlled lights; It was found that the slope protection was slippery and difficult to walk on. Some people used their rest time to build steps with old stone materials; When they saw the wall peeling off, someone picked up their tools and patched it up... "The party members in our squadron are all the same. ”Li Jituo, the current instructor, said, "As long as the collective needs, take the initiative to do it, and do it best." In 2025, the squadron was rated as the exemplary organization of military training by the headquarters. All the members of the military sports assessment were excellent, and all the members of the three kilometer team were given full marks. The squadron won the first place in the duty division of the headquarters. Zhao Zilong also achieved his best result since joining the army in the three kilometer assessment. The squadron will not let anyone fall behind. ”Li Ting said. In daily training, the squad leader and instructor take the initiative to pair up with soldiers with lower grades, using their rest time to practice and make up for their shortcomings one by one. During the assessment, they ran in the middle of the team, shouting everyone's name and cheering on. Zhao Zilong felt that every improvement in his grades was brought out in this way. Not long ago, Zhao Zilong submitted his second application to join the Communist Party. In the letter he wrote to his future self, he wrote: "I want to become a proud Communist Party member. Like a member of the squadron, I want to do more for everyone and guard the home of the squadron together." "Let the scent of home waft through the military camp," the blower buzzed in the back kitchen of the squadron. The hot air rising from the stove was enveloped in the aroma of oil, and it directly hit the face of the cooking class leader Zhao Zhiming. The golden pieces of pork belly slid into the plate along the spatula in his hand. Zhao Zhiming is from Lvliang, Shanxi. When he returns home from visiting relatives, his suitcase is always packed with various ingredients. In his hands, yam balls, buckwheat noodles, and fried cakes, which are made with intricate and authentic local flavors that even require ingredients from their hometown, have become small surprises that often appear on the dining tables of Fuyuan Squadron. Not only does he solicit food suggestions from everyone at the military and civilian communication meetings, but he also keeps in mind a common remark from his comrades and a sharing on his social media. Comrades in Changchun, Jilin, were talking about pot wrapped pork, and during New Year's Eve dinner, this hometown dish was served steaming hot on the table. Most of these newly recruited soldiers come from Yunnan and Guizhou. A bottle of secret chili sauce and a plate of chili stir fried meat have become the most popular "food utensils". Recently, Zhao Zhiming placed an order for Zhe Er Gen online and followed a short video to learn the recipe, thinking about developing several new dishes. Only when everyone eats well can they have a sense of belonging and happiness. ”Squadron cadres always go to the cafeteria to browse recipes and ponder on nutritional combinations whenever they have free time. After meals are closed every day, the squadron canteen will prepare the meals for the night watch in advance and put them in the steamer, so that soldiers can have a hot midnight snack right after they leave the whistle. During the Spring Festival, the cooking team reprinted the popular desserts on the Internet to the military camp. The self-made milk skin Bingtanghulu and cheese baked sweet potato are very popular. At the collective birthday party held by the squadron, the specially made big cake always changes patterns and is adorned with the blessings of comrades. I just like to watch my comrades eat. ”Zhao Zhiming, who excelled in military training, has a lean physique. He smiled and said, 'The content pushed to me by short video platforms is all about the hometown cuisine of my comrades.' His New Year's wishes have all turned into delicious and warm food in the kitchen. On the training ground in early spring, team leader Xu Yanheng completed eight exercises cleanly on the horizontal bar, aiming for higher and farther goals and moving forward solidly. If the backbone of cadres do not 'act well', they cannot lead good soldiers. "This is his experience in leading troops. Just arrived at Fuyuan Squadron from a special operations unit, Xu Yanheng found that some soldiers had weak military training foundations. He takes the lead in strengthening training and spends every day on the training ground. Watching the captain train more than the soldiers, several soldiers who had lower grades also gritted their teeth and followed suit. In the squadron, key cadres stand at the forefront and set an example. When it comes to the installation of new equipment, it's always the cadres who first tackle the tough issues. Whether it is an information-based duty system or reconnaissance equipment, it is the cadres who lead the squad leader and backbone to study and repeatedly operate, understand the performance, and then combine it with the actual duty situation to write tutorials and teach the soldiers step by step. As the "first contact" of soldiers in the army, instructor Li Tuolian's mobile phone contains the home phone numbers of all soldiers in the squadron. The father of a soldier has been ill for a long time, and he and the team cadres have been coordinating and helping him with major illness relief as soon as possible; A soldier lost his parents from a young age, but now he has found a sense of belonging in the missing home through collective care, and has strengthened his willingness to stay in the team. In the 'Soldier Lecture Hall', soldiers use 'soldier's words' to talk about their struggles and changes in their hometown, and' one person talks' becomes' everyone talks'. On the class cultural wall, there are several small icons next to each name: a gun represents a military expert, a pen represents a literary backbone, a gear represents a maintenance expert... Multidimensional recognition allows everyone to see their own brilliance. These specific things are more convincing than any words. ”Li Ting said. A good look is like a charge. In the new year, we must move towards higher and farther goals and move forward solidly
