The documentary "Soldier" tells the story of a new soldier, Zhang Yuhao, who gradually grew from a boy who knew nothing to a qualified soldier. Zhang Yuhao felt homesick when he first came here, but when he knew that as long as he performed well, he could see his mother, he put it aside and concentrated on training. There is a famous saying among their airborne troops, which is that 19 seconds determine life or death. That is to say, there are only 19 seconds from exiting the plane door to landing. In these 19 seconds, they have to connect all the movements they have learned. Finally completed this skydive. They trained hard until the day when they were about to skydive, and he was the only one who stood firm. Afterwards, they visited the top airborne trooper, Thor, and he discovered that it turned out that the paratroopers did not just need to parachute, they also needed to fight. He wanted to be like that. When he came out, he was already an iron-blooded soldier.
My understanding of this story is: Although he will be very reluctant to let go of his family, because the country is everyone, there are always some people who will sacrifice the happiness of their own small family in exchange for happiness. Tranquility for the entire country. And those people will naturally be respected by society. Maybe many boys will have that dream of being a soldier, but what they don’t know is that behind that glory is countless times of hard training and sweat. So I think it’s not easy for him to want to be a soldier. And I think it’s not easy for his mother either. She also wanted to see her son, but because she also knew that her son would grow up one day, she asked him to undergo such arduous training. That's what I thought about this documentary.
