Private Annual Rings

Nineteen-year-old Lin Chen walked into the new training camp of Nanling with a casual look. He had no extraordinary talent or special background. He was just the most ordinary young man among the tens of millions of young people who applied. Folding quilts, standing in queue, three-kilometer long-distance running, outdoor training, the boring and rigorous training day after day wears away all the laziness in the young man. He endured training, fell behind, gritted his teeth and practiced harder, supported each other with his comrades in the dormitory, and slowly understood discipline and responsibility through sweat and exhaustion. From ignorant recruits to being awarded the rank of private, the lower company took root in the grassroots infantry company, stood on guard duty, conducted quarterly training, and year-end assessment, and survived the tough military years step by step. There are no shocking military exploits, no public attention, just as an ordinary soldier, completing the years of his own hot and solid military career.
