During the service period, students are allowed to retain their academic status and return to school after retirement... "Recently, facing the policy consultation of Zhang Jiacheng, a college student at Changchun University of Humanities, Niu Delong, a key militia member from Nanguan District, Changchun City, Jilin Province, patiently and meticulously explained the policy, which strengthened the determination of young students to join the army and serve the country. This sincerity and passion for national defense stems from Niu Delong's unforgettable years of guarding the border. In 2004, he enlisted and served in a unit of the Xinjiang Military Region, stationed on the Karakoram Plateau at an altitude of over 5000 meters for 16 years. During his service, he participated in multiple major military missions and was awarded the title of "Guardian of Karakoram in the New Era" by the Xinjiang Military Region. He was awarded the third class merit four times. Due to the inability to give up his national defense green, Niu Delong voluntarily signed up to participate in the local militia training during his retirement and resettlement period in 2021. During the training, a militia member accidentally suffered a head injury and bleeding. With the professional rescue skills trained by the troops, Niu Delong quickly standardized the dressing and disposal, winning valuable time for subsequent treatment. His professional competence has won praise from medical staff. After joining the militia, Niu Delong, who holds a drone operator qualification certificate, volunteered to join the drone team formed by the district's People's Armed Forces Department and became a militia coach. He meticulously trained and imparted his knowledge to 12 drone operators, effectively enhancing the emergency response capabilities of the militia unit. Once, the water level of Yinma River surged, and Niu Delong controlled a drone to shout and guide the crowd to evacuate. 40 minutes before the flood peak arrived, he found an elderly couple returning home to pack their belongings. Based on the real-time information he provided, the command quickly dispatched militia to safely transfer the two individuals, effectively avoiding a dangerous situation. In 2022, Niu Delong joined Northeast Normal University with the first place in the quantified score of retirement resettlement in Jilin Province. In his work, he found that some college students had little understanding of the preferential policies for joining the military, which once affected their enthusiasm for applying for military service. At his active suggestion, the People's Armed Forces Department of Nanguan District, in conjunction with Northeast Normal University, established the "Comrades' Home", a club composed of retired college students and soldiers, to regularly carry out military training, conscription propaganda and other activities, quickly becoming the main battlefield of the school's national defense education. In addition, Niu Delong also led members of the "Comrades' Home" club to form a national flag guard team and was assigned the flag raising task for the school's college sports meet. To achieve high standards in completing tasks, Niu Delong set an example and led his team to train diligently and strive for excellence. At the opening ceremony of the sports meet, they showcased the style of retired college student soldiers with a high spirited demeanor and standard formation movements. In recent years, Niu Delong has followed the People's Armed Forces Department of Nanguan District to CBA venues, local marathon events, ski resorts and other places, extensively carrying out recruitment propaganda, achieving the expected results: the number of young people applying for military service in the whole district increased by 9% year-on-year in the first half of this year, and 16 college students were mobilized by him to join the army. I have received systematic training and am familiar with practical combat training. ”At a recent militia training seminar organized by the People's Armed Forces Department of Nanguan District, Niu Delong volunteered to undertake a new training task. He aimed at the goal of mass military training competition in the provincial military region, sprinted with all his might, and strived to accelerate on the new track. (Looking into the New Era)
