In early spring, the reporter walked into the former site of Yan'an Shaanbei Public School in Yan'an and saw the poem "Farewell Ode" improvised by Comrade Mao Zedong on July 9, 1939, for the teachers and students of Shaanbei Public School who were rushing to the front line of resistance against Japan. Standing in front of the restored farewell scene, the rough wooden table and yellowed backpack seem to still retain the warmth of the past. Li Li, the guide, said, "At that time, there were no grand feasts, nor were there any flower carpets, but there were the most steadfast ideals and the most passionate revolutionary sentiments." The most common state for soldiers was to be in a state of military readiness, gathering and parting. Starting from Yan'an, the reporter traveled to multiple military camps, experiencing scenes of welcoming and seeing off officers and soldiers in the new era. Through these "windows" of observing changes in work style, they truly felt the fresh breeze that came rushing towards them. The handover of a new and old brigade commander - receiving the wind and delivering critical advice, washing away the dust and washing away the heart. The spring outside is chilly, while the fragrance of clear tea fills the air indoors. Entering the party committee meeting room of a certain army brigade, a handover symposium between new and old brigade commanders is being held. Old Brigade Commander, during your tenure, you have effectively carried out practical training in the army, and your achievements are obvious to all. We also hope that you can cultivate more young people in your new unit and bring and pass on the good traditions and style of our brigade! ”Captain Li, you have just arrived. Everyone wants to remind you that the tradition of our brigade is not to engage in 'show off' or 'superficiality'. The brigade party committee has already formulated a five-year development plan, and how to solidly promote it is the key. We cannot ignite the 'three fires' randomly! ”There are no flowers or fruits on the table, and everyone has a cup of clear tea. The members of the brigade party committee and representatives of grassroots officials attending the meeting candidly expressed their shortcomings and proposed improvement suggestions to the outgoing brigade commander Du. They also used a special way of ringing the bell to remind and being open and honest to provide ideological support for the newly appointed brigade commander Li. The transfer of an old brigade commander and the appointment of a new brigade commander are considered major events. ”A brigade leader told reporters, "In the past, there were many formalistic practices of showing off when handing over officials. Although it seemed enthusiastic and thoughtful, it was actually a vulgar style." Upon learning that Captain Du, who had served as the brigade leader for five years, would be transferred to another unit, some departments of the organization proposed that all brigade officials and some officers and soldiers bid farewell along the way; Some people privately approached Captain Du and said, "Comrades, we have a deep affection for each other, and we must bid you farewell before you leave..." The organization's arrangement suggestions and the warm promises made by comrades reminded Captain Du of the traditional party history class in deepening political training - during the Liberation War, the Central Military Commission appointed Xu Xiangqian as the first deputy commander of the North China Military Region, to unify the command of the Linfen Campaign launched by the Jin Ji Lu Yu Military Region troops. The leaders of the Jin Ji Lu Yu Military Region held a brief handover in the combat room, with no fruits or drinks on the table, only open military maps and stacked combat documents. A handover and deployment meeting that focuses on combat and directly faces military affairs has become a simple and practical "welcoming ceremony". The handover of revolutionary predecessors is about mission and responsibility, not the complicated formalities of welcoming and seeing off, let alone the social interactions of human relationships. ”Captain Du said to everyone, 'Continuously deepening political training is to rectify these unhealthy tendencies. How can I break the rules before leaving?' 'Without welcoming and sending, we only talk about war.'. ”The political commissar of the brigade in Jiang deeply felt that "this is the principle that the revolutionary predecessors have always adhered to, and it is also the excellent style of the people's army. The people's army has always advocated simplicity since the war years, and when cadres are transferred to their new positions, they never engage in the practice of hosting banquets or giving speeches. Simplicity, clarity, and refreshment are the true colors." A cup of clear tea reflects the original intention, and a few words express high expectations. Finally, at the suggestion of Captain Du, the brigade party committee decided to change the handover ceremony between the new and old brigade commanders to this brief and simple symposium. Captain, you are very concerned about the difficulties at the grassroots level, but sometimes the solutions are not timely enough. The problem of aging training equipment in a certain camp was reported twice before it was fully implemented. ”A platoon leader's spicy criticism was full of sincerity. Captain Du nodded in response while carefully taking notes: "Everyone's criticism is very fair, and these are indeed my shortcomings in work. After arriving at the new unit, I will deeply reflect and improve." Regarding the newly appointed Captain Li, everyone's "cleaning up the dust" was also frank: "As the new leader, you cannot sit in the office to make decisions. I hope you can go to the grassroots more and listen to the voices of the soldiers." "Everyone's reminder is very fair and timely. In my future work, I will definitely be more down-to-earth, listen to the opinions of officers and soldiers, and work together with everyone to build a good army. ”Captain Li solemnly stated his position. At the end of the handover, there is no complicated procedure: a thick work notebook that carries the old brigade commander's concern for the troops between the lines; A clear asset list that demonstrates a meticulous approach; A dormitory key - Captain Du packed his luggage and moved out of the apartment on the same day, fulfilling his promise of "clearing the room without taking up anything" with practical actions. Farewell to the Blue Sky Ceremony of Three Pilots - The protagonist stands next to the "C-position" leader and says, "Farewell to the War Eagle, my heart still flies. ”Recently, the reporter visited a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps in the Southern Theater Command, and coincidentally, the brigade held a farewell ceremony for three pilots, Cao Kangping, Zhang Chao, and Xin Hongtao, who had reached the age limit and were grounded. White clouds serve as the curtain, blue sky as the podium. Three pilots wearing the "Glorious Grounding" ribbon stood in the most prominent position, with three domestically produced new fighter jets arranged in a "V" shape behind them. On the big screen, the trajectories of their nearly 30-year flying career are played, and all the shots and gazes are focused on the three main characters. The reporter noticed that several leaders in the brigade were standing in the queue to bid farewell to the blue sky ceremony. The most heartwarming scene occurred during the group photo session with comrades: three veteran pilots saw the brigade leader approaching, habitually backing down to both sides, and preparing to give up the middle position. Today you are the protagonists, and the 'C position' must be left to you. ”The brigade commander took a step forward and invited the three people to the center of the venue, saying, 'We are here to see you off.' With each concession and invitation, the feelings were deep and profound. In the past, some activities seemed grand, but invisibly they always centered around the leader, diluting the theme, "a travel leader at the scene told reporters." The protagonist was prominent, the ceremony was simple but deeply emotional, which is a vivid epitome of the new trend. "The small actions moved the three" old pilots "deeply. Afterwards, Cao Kangping told reporters a story - in the late 1950s, Comrade Zhou Enlai went to Xinhui, Guangdong for research and specifically visited farmer Zhou Hanhua who was breeding hybrid rice near the experimental field. The receptionist found a bamboo chair with a backrest and a simple square stool and placed them on the ground. The intention was for Zhou Enlai to sit on the bamboo chair, but he didn't want Zhou Enlai to sit on the small square stool as soon as he arrived. He pushed the bamboo chair to Zhou Hanhua and said, "You've been squatting in the fields all year round, it's too hard. Time flows, and the original intention is like a rock. The scene of President Xi giving up his seat to Huang Xuhua, the "father of China's nuclear submarines," and Huang Dafa, the "model of the times," has also become a warm imprint engraved in the hearts of the people. On November 17, 2017, President Xi met with representatives attending the National Spiritual Civilization Construction Commendation Conference. When preparing to take a photo, he saw two elderly people, Huang Xuhua and Huang Dafa, standing in the back row. He immediately pulled open the front chairs and invited them to sit next to him. The small details not only warmed the two elderly people, but also moved countless Chinese people. From top to bottom, fresh air hits the face. At a certain Air Force unit, the reporter also heard a story about "giving up seats" - the unit organizes movie screenings for officers, soldiers, and their families every weekend, and in the past, always reserved a middle row as a "leader's seat", even if the leader is absent for some reason, the seat is still empty. Now, this special row of seats has been cancelled, and everyone can sit in the cinema without distinction of rank, with laughter and applause echoing in the light and shadow. Click, click... "At the farewell ceremony for the blue sky, three retired pilots stood in the" C position "of the photo, with the brigade leader and other comrades standing on either side, frozen in the photo. The camera not only records changes in position, but also the new style born from deepening political rectification. ”During the interview, the officers and soldiers were familiar with the changes in the troops - the brigade cancelled the use of reception stoves, and higher-level leaders and working groups provided meals of the same standard as grassroots officers and soldiers, and even voluntarily paid for food expenses; The problems of arbitrary borrowing of personnel and tolerance reflected at the grassroots level have been effectively regulated through the establishment of a dispatch approval system; The reception of grassroots officers and soldiers by the government has become more enthusiastic, their words have become warmer, and their work has become faster... "I entrust you with this helmet, and the responsibility of protecting the blue sky has been entrusted to you. ”At the end of the ceremony, the three veteran pilots solemnly handed over their helmets to the new pilots, saying, "Seeing the new style and appearance of the troops today, we can retreat with peace of mind. The blue sky is in your hands, we can rest assured." The quiet retreat of a unit - the triumph of a thousand people and a hundred vehicles, the silent news of victory spread for thousands of miles, and the soldiers returned victorious. One night at the end of last year, the Golden Coast by the Bohai Bay slowly shed its hustle and bustle and entered a dreamland. At dawn, in a shooting range not far from the coastline, officers and soldiers of a certain brigade of the Eastern Theater Command Air Force who had completed practical training tasks had already woken up. The faint flashlight flickered between the tents, and the lowered words melted into the night breeze. Nearly a thousand fully armed officers and soldiers dressed up, lined up, and boarded vehicles in the darkness, with hundreds of equipped vehicles ready for deployment. Without a loud military signal or a gathering whistle, this unit is quietly marching back to the camp in small groups and multiple routes. The troops came here for training in late September last year, lasting for more than three months. ”During the march, Captain Qi of the brigade told reporters, 'In the exercises and competitions organized by the Air Force at the end of last year, our stationed training unit achieved excellent results.' The victorious army headed west, avoiding busy roads, driving steadily, turning off high beams, and prohibiting honking, fearing to disturb the sleeping civilians along the way. A thousand people and a hundred cars march together, victorious and silent. Looking at the winding convoy, Captain Qi couldn't help but recall a historical scene told to him by the old commander when he was a new recruit - during the Huaihai Campaign in 1948, the former unit of the brigade traveled a hundred miles at night and penetrated the enemy's rear. When passing by a village late at night, the soldiers' shoes were worn out and their feet were covered in blood bubbles, but no one knocked on the door of their fellow villagers to stay overnight. The officers and soldiers slept against the haystacks and clothes at the village entrance, and continued on their journey until dawn. The next morning, the villagers found that the village entrance was filled with the People's Liberation Army, but not a single pot or stove had moved, and not a single sip of water was missing from the water tank... Nearly 80 years had passed, and the midnight march scenes of history and reality overlapped. This silent retreat is not accidental. ”Captain Qi said that in deepening political training, the military has taken a series of solid measures to revitalize old traditions, from rectifying formalism and bureaucracy to regulating grassroots order, from vigorously rectifying peace and accumulated problems to focusing on forging strong grassroots. The reporter learned that during the training period, the brigade carried out a series of activities called "Passing on the Red Gene from Generation to Generation" in conjunction with deepening political rectification. They took the initiative to help surrounding villages build roads during their rest time and voluntarily conducted inspections for the masses, which was praised. Amidst the mountains and rivers, the convoy traveled a thousand miles and arrived at the outskirts of the city where they were stationed. The local government learned of the victory of the troops and took the initiative to arrange for traffic police to clear the roads. We are soldiers of the people, how can we let the people make way for us? "The leader of the brigade declined this enthusiasm and goodwill on the spot. Finally, Captain Qi commanded the convoy to quietly drive through the open streets at midnight. On the streets, only a few scattered taxis witnessed the return of this team. Welcome back to the team, thank you for your hard work! ”When the convoy entered the camp, there were no loud drums or flowers, only representatives of the remaining officers and soldiers lined up at the camp gate with standard military etiquette
