Deep in the mountains of the plateau, at the end of the military history corridor of a certain Rocket Force unit, a blue gray stone stands quietly. After decades of wind and rain erosion, the six characters "Scenery is unique here" on the stone remain strong and upright, and the officers and soldiers affectionately call it "Shoushan Stone". The story of the sergeant general of a certain company and this stone has been told by the officers and soldiers for 27 years. That cold winter, Shuaigang, who had just enlisted, stepped onto this high-altitude battlefield. There are no birds flying in the sky, no grass growing on the ground, the wind blows stones and runs, wearing cotton jackets all year round. The extremely harsh natural environment has left Shuaigang, who was full of longing, in a state of confusion. So, when he saw a stone engraved with the words "The scenery here is unique" at the entrance of the camp, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Where did the 'good scenery' come from?" The squad leader beside him didn't say much, only leaving behind a meaningful sentence: "After you stay for a long time, you will naturally understand." This sentence made Shuai Gang ponder for several days. In the first lesson of the new recruits a week later, he and his new comrades stood in front of the stone again and finally learned a seemingly simple story behind it - two years ago, instructor Yang Maoqi went to the battlefield to work. At that time, the mobile phone signal was very poor, so Coach Yang regularly wrote letters to his wife, and the most frequently mentioned message in the letters was' Here is the most beautiful scenery '. On a later Spring Festival, my wife, who had never been to the army before, took a train for three days and a car for one day, and traveled to the battlefield to visit relatives. Looking at the deserted Gobi Desert, drinking the snow water extracted by ice chiseling, and listening to the mournful and long howls of wolves in the late night, my wife was full of confusion and heartache: "Where did you find the 'good scenery' in your letter?" Instructor Yang held his wife's hand and said gently and humorously: "No matter how hard the mountain is, there must be someone to guard it; no matter how lonely the battlefield is, there must be someone to manage it... I think the most beautiful scenery here is the group of people guarding it - including your husband!" After seeing off his wife, Instructor Yang and the officers and soldiers brought back a large stone from the Gobi Desert and erected it, engraving the six characters "The scenery is unique here" to inspire the officers and soldiers. Rooted in the plateau and made contributions to the plateau. After listening to the story, Shuai Gang stared at the handwriting on the stone for a long time. At that time, the company had limited equipment and teaching materials, so the veterans had to do it themselves, use local materials, and practice their winning skills. Watching the smiles on the cracked cheeks of the veterans and the increasingly tall stones in the morning light, Shuaigang's heart suddenly brightened - as Coach Yang said, the so-called "good scenery" is never a comfortable environment, but a sincere heart that knows the hardships but resolutely sticks to it, a firm belief that is willing to be lonely and dedicated to serving the country. Due to its distance from the city center, the power supply to the position is very inconvenient. The unit will provide candles as backup for the officers and soldiers. Since that day, every time the candle was lit, Shuaigang carefully put it in his bag. During the more than 1500 days and nights on the battlefield, he relied on the shimmering yellow light every night to summarize and record a thick circuit maintenance manual. He also grew from a newcomer who couldn't even recognize all the buttons on the equipment to a technical backbone who could independently complete complex maintenance tasks. Later, the troops relocated and moved out of the mountains, and the material living conditions improved significantly. Not long after, the construction of the position was completed, and the news of the relevant teams resuming their duty in the deep mountains came. After finally getting out of the mountains, why did you have to return to the mountains? "His wife's complaint contained heartache, but she knew Shuaigang's temperament well. Upon receiving the order, Shuaigang didn't hesitate at all. He was the first to pack his backpack and once again walked into the secluded mountains. The days in the deep mountain stronghold are monotonous but with great responsibility. As the days spent stationed in the deep mountains grew longer and longer, Shuai Gang cleared more and more faults, and his skills became more and more exquisite. He also told the story of "guarding the mountains and rocks" to more and more new recruits. When the new recruit Hai Bo went to the platoon, he also complained about the harsh conditions in the mountains, the boring work, and the lack of motivation to do anything. The instructor had many heart to heart talks, but the results were minimal. During a mission, Shuai Gang specially brought him along. When passing by the "Shoushan Stone", Shuai just talked about his days of gnawing on pickles on the plateau and studying hard under candlelight, and then talked about his daily routine of inspecting circuits in the deep mountains. What we guard is not the mountains, but the safety of our equipment and the tranquility of our country. ”Shuaigang's words made Haibo blush. Looking at the six big characters on the stone, Haibo secretly aspired to become a mountain guard like the handsome squad leader. Since then, Haibo has never cried out about hardship or exhaustion again. He works diligently and responsibly, with particularly careful maintenance. Nowadays, Haibo has long shed his youth and grown into a technical backbone of the company, serving as the squad leader and taking over the baton of inheritance. Every time new recruits leave the company, Haibo also takes them to the "Shoushan Stone" to tell the stories behind the stones. 27 years have passed by, and Shuai Gang has led more than 20 outstanding apprentices, some of whom have become technical experts in the department, continuing to stick to the deep mountains; Some have been transferred to other units due to task requirements, bringing the story of "guarding mountains and rocks" to more places. This stone has been guarding the battlefield for decades, and we are guarding it, guarding our equipment, which is guarding our home and our country. This is the most beautiful scenery in our hearts. ”At the recent signing ceremony of the new recruits, Shuai Gang once again told the story of the stone. The sunshine poured down the long corridor of military history, and Shuaigang's figure overlapped with a group of young soldiers in front of the "Shoushan Stone", with increasingly clear handwriting on the stone. Without saying a word, the soldiers guarding the mountains are unknown, but their perseverance that spans time shines brightly in the mountains of the plateau. (New Society)
