Everything has two sides, a good side and a bad side. Although the hard environment is inevitable, it also makes people thoroughly remould themselves. When God closes a door, he opens another window. Life presents not only rewards, but also horizons, talents and experiences that are more expensive than money. It is beneficial to gain valuable experience in the process of experiencing different working environments and jobs, to improve management level and service awareness, to temper political determination, to temper loyal political character, and to improve their professional level and comprehensive quality. I have traveled for decades, and the people and things I have experienced and the storms I have encountered have made my most brilliant life and will stay in my heart for a long time.
Time is lush and fragrant. 1978 I just turned 18 years old, like a lush life. At that time, I was studying as a teacher in Tiemuzhu Agricultural Tools Factory of Commune. This year coincides with the recruitment of railway soldiers in my hometown. As a school-age youth, I gladly signed up for the army. After strict physical examination and political examination, he was lucky enough to be admitted to the army. My mother's eyes are full of tears, and the whole family is happy for me to wear a military uniform. After I entered the military camp, I was influenced by the railway soldier culture. The hero model around me, party member and excellent soldiers have become my role models. I am strict with myself everywhere and grow in progress.
First, study military affairs. Queue training is a compulsory course for new recruits to enter the camp. A seemingly simple action is not easy to reach the standard. Short-term intensive training has been significantly improved, such as walking, sitting, squatting and standing. And junzi has gradually become a soldier. After entering the company, the winter construction in the north was suspended, which set off an upsurge of winter military training, such as shooting with live ammunition, throwing grenades and marching training. Constantly improve the military quality and temper the will not to be afraid of hardship.
Second, learn culture. Only when I arrived in the army did I find that my cultural foundation was poor and there were many typos in my writing. Under the influence of the strong learning atmosphere in the military camp, I made a study plan, borrowed many books from my friends and bought many books. Reading more books has not only enjoyed persistent happiness, but also let me appreciate the profound Chinese culture and books. Reading good books, studying hard, broadens our horizons, enriches our self-restraint, nourishes our hearts, and also helps us learn a lot about life and benefits a lot.
Third, learning and construction. Railway corps is a technical unit covering railways, tunnels, bridges, buildings, pontoons and other projects. The veterans of the company all have their own specialties and skills. Bridge and tunnel culvert foundation excavation, mortar block stone, precast concrete slab beam, steel bar binding, formwork support, etc., are flexible and convenient. I am like a newborn calf. I have never been afraid. I unload cement, move stones, dig foundation pits, screen sand and tie steel bars. I worked hard, dirty and tired, grabbed the lead, rushed ahead, constantly polished, tempered and transformed in practice, and gradually realized the glory and responsibility as a railway soldier.
My short military career has corrected my attitude towards life, taught me a lot and changed my life track. Meritorious service in the army was rewarded, which made the dream of joining China's * * * production party come true. In addition to being moved and revered, I am also deeply grateful to the troops.
Life is like poetry, and years are like songs. 1 984 65438+1October1day, the railway soldiers collectively changed jobs and merged into the former Ministry of Railways. I took off my beloved military uniform and joined the army of railway construction, becoming an employee of the railway system. Soon, by chance, I returned to my hometown from a different place and started my real career. Starting from the role of department salesman, I worked hard for more than ten years, faded away from youth, washed away lead, went to school, took part in adult education self-examination, stood up after saying goodbye, and approached without confusion. When people reach middle age, their wings and feathers are getting fuller and fuller, and their shoulders can shoulder heavy responsibilities. Just as I was about to show my skills, I couldn't resist the trick of fate. The original unit canceled the merger, and the cruel reality had to bow to fate. After the Spring Festival in 2003, I came to the construction site with my luggage on my back and started my project life. When I first came down, I was a little unaccustomed, unfamiliar, inexperienced, at a loss and confused, and spent the adaptation period in hardship and pain. Time is a good medicine for healing wounds. I gradually found a sense of existence in my work and realized the characteristics and laws of the project. With the help of my colleagues and the support of my family, I became more and more confident and was carried forward by the surging torrent.
With my work experience, I have held many positions in the project department for more than ten years. No matter administrative work or party work, the wider the field of work, the greater the difficulty, and the more you need to keep learning and charging. Life experience: keep pace with the times, conform to the trend, respond to the challenges of various environments with innovative thinking, make up for the shortcomings with diligence, and constantly hone excellent skills. Pay is proportional to the gains, and efforts are proportional to the returns. In this past journey, there have been both wind and rain, ups and downs, and my heart is exhausted, but I insist that there is shelter from the wind and rain on the other side, and we must never give up halfway and be decadent in the spiritual wilderness.
Years are long, beautiful and valuable things often stay in eternal time and space, like maple leaves fluttering in autumn, with an unforgettable aesthetic feeling and a cordial feeling. For example, the loud trumpets in the military camp, the soldiers lined up in a rectangular queue on the playground, or the construction site of key railway projects, the energetic labor scene of catching the moon in idolization, and so on. On the colorful world stage, the environment can influence and transform people. Everyone wants to shape themselves into what they expect and can achieve, and take fewer detours in their growth and progress.
If the railway soldier culture has tempered my steel-like bones and soul, then my military career has tempered my strong will. Then China Railway Construction Central Enterprise built a life platform for me, inserted wings, fully released its potential and passion, worked hard in the fertile soil of building a transportation power, and gained an extraordinary life. I am very grateful to the organization for giving me this honor. I feel very honored.
The deceased is like a husband, time is like running water, more than 40 years have passed, and suddenly it has arrived. From apprentices to soldiers, from troops to enterprises, from soldiers to employees, from youth to middle age, from different places to hometown, it seems to happen in an instant. Now crow's feet in the corner of the eye, snow-white sideburns, weather-beaten face and bloated deformed body record the passing Spring Festival. Regardless of the passage of time, the baptism of years, the most brilliant time in life is still in my mind, indelible and unforgettable, and often comes to my mind, with a long-lost touch and intimacy.
Time flies. In 2020, I reached my sixties, bid farewell to my colleagues, leave my beloved job and retire home. My wife is very happy and sings softly. Since my daughter got married, my wife has often been hungry, and her life is irregular. Because of me, she felt guilty and blamed herself. Now, the life of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is over, with a balanced diet, regular work and rest, gardening, cleaning up the housework, drinking tea, taking a fitness walk, telling anecdotes occasionally, or playing cards with old friends, watching TV dramas online, chatting with relatives and friends and so on. I feel very comfortable, talking and laughing, full of happy smiles and surrounded by a warm atmosphere.
Years are quiet, no need to sigh, know how to be content and cherish the happiness in front of you, and know how to give up before you can understand life. The other side of prosperity has become a memory, life has won a great victory, and everything has returned to zero. Time flies, youth is like yesterday, no matter how brilliant or bad it was before, how many past events have been wasted and lost in the long river of time, and the burning light and gorgeous scenery have passed away, so don't worry about some things any more, and it's best to forget these three things: worry, impatience and love. The length of life can't be longer than spring, summer, autumn and winter. Life is impermanent and short. When you can't extend the length of life, try to enrich the connotation of life, constantly enrich your spiritual world, deepen your knowledge and understanding of the world, find spiritual comfort in the secular dust and enjoy spiritual pleasure.
Plan every happy day and grasp the second spring of retirement. Every gram in the golden period of life is very expensive, and it is the most abundant time of life. Although it is already sunset, although it is near dusk, to see the sun, for all his glory. It's morning before dusk, pursuing a relaxed and natural life and the highest realm of life. live high, live a wonderful life. The flowers are not old, the time is just right, and there is enough time to arrange your pastime for you. It is not the end of the life journey of "the boat arrives at the dock and the car arrives at the station", but the starting point of the old horse's not whipping. When your teeth are well, your legs are well, your appetite is good, and your health is still good, use your clear thinking and bright eyes to see the great rivers and mountains, taste the delicious food on earth and have fun everywhere. Secondly, while young, cultivate an interest, such as singing, photography, calligraphy, painting, musical instruments and Tai Ji Chuan, which is very suitable for the life of middle-aged and elderly people. Or, if you can, really help others, do good deeds, purify your soul and get happiness from it.
I am old and strong, and I have unlimited imagination for the future. Railway soldier culture network is the main ideological propaganda position to inherit and carry forward the railway soldier culture. Choosing volunteers to edit is also a way for me to exert my residual heat and never fade. This requires careful cultivation, wandering between the lines, expelling loneliness in words, finding happiness in paper and pen, and learning and upgrading in keyboard, just like spring sowing, summer sowing, autumn harvest and winter storage.
