The old beggar taught me for two years and six months. Not only did he use the chalk he picked up to teach me to read, he also taught me the life experience and warmth of an old beggar. Until I took the straw mat I was about to bury him in the barren hills, and then went to kneel at the camp gate without hesitation.
The old beggar said that there are a lot of noble people coming in and out, maybe someone has taken care of this child with kindness, if this is the case, my life will be changed because of this. In fact, the old beggar is really accurate. , I knelt into my future in less than three days.
I joined the army when I was sixteen. I had finished high school before that. I have to say that the things the old beggar taught me saved me a lot of time. Even the chief who adopted me was surprised that I was a beggar child. Knowing so many words, there is no problem reading books and newspapers.
The days of begging taught me how to endure and how to cherish it. Even as an ordinary soldier, I know how to best play my role. Hard training and serious cultural tutoring are just two shortcomings. In a year and a half, I became the best soldier in the company. At that time, I didn't know that there was another guy named Xu Sanduo on the TV screen.
Three years after joining the army, I joined the Special Forces Brigade, where I met a group of brothers. Sniper Li was my first comrade-in-arms, and then I had a second, third, and then a cadre of my own. The squad, until it emerged in an important mission. I succeeded in becoming an elite in the special forces unit. Looking at the envious eyes of my comrades, I finally got everyone's approval and my self-esteem.
"Big Tiger Ryoko" became the man of our team, and because of this, I went in and out of the camp frequently, and even gradually became closer to some high-level commanders. Of course, they would not have thought that I used to be a little beggar, but now I am. It is the pride of the army and their pride. From an orphan to a beggar, from a beggar to a soldier, from a soldier to a captain with dozens of people, I think my experience can write a novel, but unfortunately no one writes it.
The last mission I performed was overseas, in an inconspicuous village, with more than a hundred civilians, and a few world-renowned drug lords. The task I received was to wipe out these drug lords at all costs. Death is not a terrible thing for a soldier. Every day, his comrades fall by his side, ready to block the deadly bullets for his comrades at any time, and exchange his arms for the lives of his brothers in our opinion. However, I was not afraid of death, but for the first time I found that I could not face the death of civilians.
It is not just the soldiers who fall in the war. There will always be civilian casualties in the war. The army is not the police. The first duty of the police is to ensure the safety of the people’s lives and property. The first duty of the army is to complete the task. I can ignore the sacrifices of my comrades in arms. , I can ignore the death of the enemy, but I can’t just watch the innocent life disappear under the muzzle that flaunts justice. I want to leave, leave this unit, no, leave this system, I am going to retire.
The military doctor told me that many people are not suitable for being a soldier. Some guys who are more sensitive than ordinary people often have almost crazy obsessions. This is not something that can be changed by training. Once such obsessions prevail. , I'm afraid there is nothing to stop him from acting in his own way. Obviously I am such a person, and I have found a companion.
After retiring, I went to Wudang Mountain. In fact, I used to practice here a few years before I became a soldier. As a disciple of a layman, I was said to be extremely talented by the master. In a short period of time, I had mastered others for more than ten years before I could comprehend it. The thing, it's just that my heart that belongs to the world has become a fetter. However, the perception on the battlefield helped me overcome all of this. People who are used to seeing death seem to have realized the meaning of life from another direction, and I completed my own epiphany between life and death.
The master told me that martial arts are just the details of a person’s success. Only the human heart and thought are the greatest weapons that can truly dominate the world. The fighting is the realm.
Is there really a saint in this world? Coming down from Wudang Mountain, I thought of Feng, what is that kid doing now? Some things in him are fascinating.
I met Feng in a bar. At that time, he was still a student who hadn't walked out of campus, but unlike other people, Feng's aura was really attractive, his faint self-confidence was not annoying, and the charm of his gestures was just right. As a foil, Feng is a natural leader and is destined to be followed by countless people. Fortunately, Feng's ideals are not too rebellious, he is a person who seeks peace.
I went to Tibet a few times with Feng to help children in Tibetan areas donate supplies. I really don't feel that the Tibetans secretly sold the materials they received and offered them to the temple. Feng looked calm. "In fact, this is also normal. They have their beliefs. What we can do is to help them live a better life instead of forcing them to change their beliefs."
Faith, what is my faith? What is your belief? "I just want everyone to live better." I muttered, really, since I came out of the army, I have always been keen on public welfare, but the effect of public welfare does not seem to be obvious.
Feng looked at me weirdly, looking up and down made me uncomfortable, "What's wrong? What did I say wrong?" Isn't it right to make everyone live happier? Although I am a disciple of Taoism, I am still very keen on the world. I can't understand death, especially in the past few years, it is even difficult to face this fragmented world.
Some people say that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I have a good ability. I need to take the responsibility that belongs to me. I need to find something to wait. But what is that
"I really can't see that you were a soldier before." Feng's words were a little bit of a marginal. Later, the two of them had been busy delivering supplies, so they didn't go deep on this topic.
Later, I became more and more familiar with Feng, and I also asked about his beliefs, "If you need something to maintain this river and lake, and someone to protect a land, then I am this person, and I am willing to use my life to protect it. In this world, I may not be able to do it, but I am willing to work hard." There is a Tianxin in the world, yes, the saint’s heart. I decided to follow. I need to find my faith. I need to truly take on my own responsibilities. Perhaps like Twenty Eight, we all have a common ideal to make this world a better place, perhaps in our own way.
