A Soldier of ’83, Growing More Fearless with Every Battle

My name is Chen Mo. I'm from Guiyang, Guizhou. In November 1983, I was sent to a border defense unit somewhere in Yunnan and became a raw recruit.

When I first got there, I was withdrawn and aloof, thick-skinned and defiant. I couldn't get along with anyone, and I was always at the bottom of the training rankings.

During a nighttime march, I unexpectedly gained the ability to predict battlefield conditions and push my physical limits.

It lets me read the situation, regulate my stamina, recover quickly, and anticipate enemy movements, making me feel unstoppable in training and combat alike.

While others were still adjusting to military life, I was already hitting every target at the shooting range and taking down squad leaders in hand-to-hand combat.

From raw recruit to combat hero and then the “King of Soldiers,” I made everyone shut up with my abilities.

When fighting broke out along the border, I carved a path through the artillery fire and led my comrades through one impossible mission after another.

I was destined to become a legend in the military, and those three years I spent serving in Yunnan would go down in history.
