[veterans, hope to realize their dreams] the 34 year old veterans have graduated from college successfully

Recently, I frequently saw the figure of 59 year old Liang Shi on the Internet who was persistently going to the 30th college entrance examination. With decades of persistence, he chased the immortal dream of studying in his heart, fearless of others' comments, and always worked hard to move forward. What is surging in my heart is heartfelt admiration and deep resonance.

On the other hand, as a 34 year old veteran, I have just completed two years of substantial and short undergraduate study in the hope college of southwestjiaotonguniversity. With the teacher's careful education, the accompanying support of classmates, and the full-time encouragement of relatives and friends, I finally got the full-time undergraduate diploma and bachelor's degree certificate. Looking back, it was a tortuous and bumpy road. Compared with my peers, I had trudged for twelve years on my way to school. This period of time is worth cherishing and remembering all my life.

Two years ago, when the letter of admission for college upgrading was sent to me by express, I was in a myriad of moods. I wrote a letter of admission fifteen years late, which unexpectedly received the resonance of many people and the encouragement of my friends. With the expectations of the public, on September 1, 2024, I entered the school of hope of southwestjiaotonguniversity with a notice and made a secret decision to make up for my incomplete studies when I was young.

After completing the admission procedures, I walked into the dormitory and saw that most of the students sitting around were "after 00". After getting familiar with each other, everyone kindly called me "big brother". Since then, as "big brother", I have been eating, living and studying with this group of young and passionate friends, and started a pure and beautiful campus time.

After leaving the campus for many years, I have long been used to the rhythm of running around in the workplace. My daily work, meetings and entertainment make people busy. I suddenly calmed down and buried myself in reading. At first, it was really difficult to adapt. However, keeping in mind the ancient motto of "once you come, you will be safe", I temporarily put aside my social identity as chairman of the chamber of Commerce, member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference and other social identities, pressed the "pause" button for miscellaneous work, immersed my whole heart in my studies, tried to fit the work and rest and learning rhythm of the campus, and adhered to the school motto of "being morally motivated, pragmatic and innovative, promoting China in a practical way, and constantly striving for self-improvement". In class, I listened attentively, took notes carefully, cultivated professional knowledge of engineering management, and marked down any problems; Take the initiative to ask teachers and students for advice after class; After class, I often immerse myself in the library and study room to consolidate my knowledge; In my spare time, I played basketball with my classmates to keep fit and had a small gathering with them. My life was relaxed and comfortable.

In the past, many experienced leaders and experienced seniors came to work. They rarely had the opportunity to get along with and communicate with students of the same age or younger. Two years of campus time has quietly smoothed the fatigue accumulated in the past, and the mood has become clear and fresh. Those regrets that were not sought before and the depression that has been polished by the world are all relieved in the laughter of the book.

Recalling the moment when I left the army, I had taken off my hat badge and collar, and met the army chief in the hall. When he saw that I was determined to retire from the army, he was surprised. After listening carefully to my ideas, he held my hand tightly and solemnly told me: after returning home, we must keep our four original hearts - one is loyalty, and always be sincere to the party, the motherland and the people; The second is filial piety, be kind to parents and elders, be filial without delay; The third is love, treat yourself kindly and sympathize with others. It should be noted that good intentions will eventually reverberate; The fourth is confidence. Even if the road ahead is full of difficulties, we should also be full of hope for the future, be confident and never give up. These four hearts are my unshakable original heart along the way. Over the years, I have always been rushing along the road of life with this entrustment. This encouragement and expectation from the head will be firmly guarded by me to keep my original heart as firm as a rock.

"Chinese youth in the new era should take realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as their own responsibility, enhance the ambition, backbone and confidence of the Chinese people, live up to the times, live up to their youth, and live up to the ardent expectations of the party and the people!" at this moment, my heart is full of gratitude - grateful for the fertile land of the times, grateful for the guidance of the party, grateful for the noble people who have helped us all the way and the close friends who know each other. Thousands of words will eventually become the strength to forge ahead and stick to the original intention.

Life never has a long post station, and struggle never ends. As a veteran and a young man in the new era, I am also a member of the national rejuvenation journey. I should resolutely shoulder the important task of the times. There is a long way to go, only by self-reliance and courage! (Zheng Jing)
