Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

The recruits brought their stools and lined up in the open space on the right side of the basketball court.

At this moment, a rectangular white curtain has been set up in front of everyone.

Three or four meters in front of the screen, the instructor and a platoon leader were fiddling with the projection equipment.

Thinking about being able to watch a movie soon, every recruit's face was filled with excitement and excitement.

For most soldiers, 7:00 to 7:30 is a very difficult time.

After all, no young person likes to watch the news broadcast.

Besides, just watch it, but do you have to ask someone to comment on it every time you finish it?

Many of those who were called out had to stand there like fools.

After all, the news talks about national affairs and international situations.

They even have difficulty understanding it, let alone summarizing and commenting on it.

In addition, open-air movies are a very fresh experience for many people.

As living conditions are getting better and better nowadays, more and more people from urban families are joining the army.

For young people who have grown up in concrete jungles and middle- to high-end residential communities, there is no chance for them to watch open-air movies.

This sense of freshness is just like the attitude of city dwellers towards picnics and camping.

I feel very fashionable and trendy.

But for some rural families or young people who have lived in towns since childhood.

This kind of open-air movie is something very familiar to them, and it makes them feel at home immediately.

In the early years, square dancing had not yet become popular.

Rural nightlife is quite monotonous.

As soon as it gets dark around seven or eight o'clock, it's time to go to bed.

Even when watching TV, the programs to choose from are quite limited, basically either "My Fair Princess" or "The Legend of White Snake".

Open-air movies were one of the most anticipated collective activities for the villagers at that time.

On the threshing ground, there were men, women, young and old, with their families.

Some were carrying benches, some were dragging stools, and some were carrying rolled-up mats and holding children.

Everyone came early after receiving the notice, hoping to grab a good seat.

The projectors at that time were still in the film format, and the tape had to be changed after a while.

During the movie, there would occasionally be naughty children fiddling with their hands towards the projector light.

Sometimes a soaring eagle appeared on the screen, and sometimes a lively and cute little rabbit appeared.

Often at this time, he would be scolded by adults and scolded by the village chief:

"Whose child is this? Take care of him now, or the movie won't be shown!"

An open-air movie lasting more than two hours dispels the boredom of summer nights and brings countless laughter.

But as the times change, society develops rapidly.

This type of open-air cinema, which can be traced back to the 1950s and 1960s, has gradually faded out of history.

Instead, it has been replaced by major cinemas, as well as mobile phones and tablets.

But what everyone regrets is not the disappearance of this thing.

But I can’t bear to let go of the most beautiful memories with my loved ones that will fade away along with them.

A movie, a dream.

When the movie starts, the house is full of guests and friends, and when the movie ends, you are alone. This is a stage in life that everyone must go through.

Qin Feng gave an inexplicable bitter smile. People always feel a lot of emotion when they see some old things.

On the one hand, I want to pursue new things, but on the other hand, I always miss many things in my memory.

Always wanting to hold this end and that end.

But, how is this possible?

It's like, since you've chosen to be a soldier and endure hardships, you must draw a clear line between yourself and the good life outside...

As the mats were put down one by one, the recruits from each class sat down upright in order of their class.

Company commander Ge Zhiyong gave a few brief remarks before everyone understood why the movie that was supposed to be shown on Friday was moved forward to Thursday night.

Tomorrow, I will have a physical examination, which is also a re-examination.

The process of joining the army generally involves a physical examination during conscription.

After joining the army, another physical examination will be arranged about ten days to half a month later.

The purpose, of course, is to further observe whether the recruits have any physical discomfort and whether they can continue to serve in the army.

It is also because of the re-examination that all physical training is stopped after dinner.

To prevent everyone from being overly tired and affecting the results of tomorrow's physical examination.

"I'll say it again! No whispering or making any noise during the movie. You must always remember military discipline!"

"Yes!"

Ge Zhiyong nodded to the side, and Bi Yuan pressed the remote control.

As the sound came from the loudspeaker, the five big words "Garland at the Foot of the Mountain" appeared on the curtain.

As the movie started, the recruits' eyes all lit up along with the screen.

I don’t know why, but everyone felt an uncontrollable excitement in their hearts.

It’s obviously an old movie from the 1980s, and many people have seen it.

But after changing the place and the environment, everyone's mood was completely different.

When movies are shown in the army, most of them are military-related patriotic education films.

Qin Feng happened to have seen the movie "The Garland under the Mountain" in his previous life.

This film tells the story of Zhao Mengsheng, the son of a high-ranking official, who is eager to be transferred back to the city as the war is about to begin.

But in the end, he stayed for the sake of his comrades, and transformed into a true soldier through repeated bloody battles and baptism of war.

In the play, the line that impressed Qin Feng the most was when he was about to go to the battlefield.

Platoon leader Jin Kailai held up the wine and said, "See you at the Martyrs' Cemetery!"

In his previous life, Qin Feng was just an ordinary citizen.

The feeling I had most after watching the movie was that I was moved and felt that soldiers were great.

If it weren’t for so many ancestors who sacrificed their lives and shed their blood.

Our generation has no idea how much suffering and pain we will have to endure.

But at this moment, Qin Feng put on his military uniform and became a glorious member of the People's Liberation Army.

When I watched the film again, I had a completely different feeling.

He changed from the third perspective to the first perspective.

They went from being civilians protected by soldiers to being the ones protecting the civilians.

In fact, it was not just Qin Feng. Many people present were moved by the plot of the play.

Especially when Jin Kailai finished his farewell drink in the movie and said, "See you at the Martyrs' Cemetery."

Many people repeated this sentence silently in their hearts.

See you at the Martyrs’ Cemetery!

For every soldier, it is the highest honor!

But behind this honor, there will also be indelible pain for many families.

But even so, there are still so many passionate men of the Hua family who rush to the military camp without hesitation, put on military uniforms, and carry guns!

The former sacrificed and the latter took over, and millions of people shed blood without regret!

The four words "defending the country" will always be the eternal belief engraved in the bones of the soldiers of Yan State!

As the plot deepened, the recruits became more and more absorbed in watching the film, as if they were about to be drawn into the film.

Some people have even begun to imagine what it would be like if they were on the battlefield.

This is exactly the purpose and reason for organizing collective viewing of such films in the army.

A film that allows everyone to understand history, understand war, and understand the contributions of their ancestors.

This enables new recruits to get into their roles more quickly and grow into excellent soldiers.

......

In the middle of the process, Ge Zhiyong pressed the pause button.

Give everyone free time to rest and drink water and go to the toilet.

Many people gathered together to discuss the recent plot.

Of course, there are also people who have seen the film and acted as spoilers.

As a result, it is inevitable to be criticized by others who have not seen it.

Perhaps because he drank too much earlier, Qin Feng felt the urge to urinate and prepared to go to the toilet nearby.

But when he came out of the toilet, he happened to run into the company commander.

"Qin Feng, come here for a moment. I have something to talk to you about."

Qin Feng didn't think much about it and followed him to the back of the basketball hoop in the distance.

At this moment, Ge Zhiyong's expression was somewhat unnatural, or to be more precise, he felt a little uneasy.

He coughed first, then asked, "Qin Feng, have you been doing well recently in terms of training and life?"

"Well, it's all good."

"Let's eat. Is the army food to your liking?"

"Yeah, it suits my taste."

"Then when you sleep at night..."

"Captain, is there something you want to tell me?"

Qin Feng couldn't help it and looked at him with a strange expression.

Ge Zhiyong was somewhat embarrassed, and he also knew that this opening remark was too abrupt.

But those personal matters of love and affection were really hard for him to talk about.

Not to mention that it would be embarrassing to ask a new recruit for help.

"Well, there is something wrong, but it's not a big deal..."

Ge Zhiyong laughed, then took a deep breath and said, "This is what happened. I... have a friend who hasn't been having a smooth relationship lately. Not just recently, but his relationship hasn't been going well for him."

"I was thinking, didn't Zhao Pengfei say you have rich emotional experience? I wanted to see if you have any good ideas?"

Qin Feng was silent for a long time, and finally asked the question that made Ge Zhiyong deafened.

"Captain, the friend you're talking about, is that you?"
