After watching episodes 1 and 2 of "The Meritorious Service", I am filled with emotions! Li Yannian's unit of "Meritorious Service" was created based on the background of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. It also reminds me that in September this year, the remains of the eighth batch of Chinese People's Volunteer Army martyrs in South Korea were escorted by a special plane of the Chinese Air Force and finally returned to their long-awaited motherland. The so-called "when the family and country are in trouble, the heroes leave, but the mountains and rivers are intact and the soul returns home", this is a true portrayal of the short life of the volunteer martyrs.

All this was calmed down after the arrival of instructor Li Yannian. As a military general, he knew every soldier's family situation and ideological status very well. In front of everyone in the Seventh Company, Li Yannian told the story of how little Anton was picked up by Zhang Erniu and raised until the two fell in love. People couldn't help but sigh and lament the rough life experience of little Anton. When he was forcibly recruited by the Kuomintang and left his hometown, he suffered so much unrecognized pain at a young age.

But if you think about it, in that turbulent era, there were by no means a handful of soldiers like little Anton. Even every soldier in the Seventh Company had family and friends that he couldn't let go of. But at that time, they had no choice. Their only belief was to move forward! Li Yannian's mobilization speech in "Services of Merit" profoundly expressed the integrity and faith that a soldier should have!

"If you want to live a peaceful and happy life, you can only win the war! But when peace comes, many people can't see it and can't reunite with their relatives, but the motherland remembers us and our relatives are grateful to us. We must Let the enemy know that our country is extremely powerful and cannot be bullied!" This sentence is true but also poignant. Little Anton finally shed tears of remorse. I believe many people in front of the screen also cried together. The motherland needs them to leave their families and go into battle, but the motherland will never forget every soldier who sacrificed his life.

The dead are gone, and new life is growing vigorously. This is human resilience, but in a peaceful era, we need to look back on history and feel the blood and dedication of that era! These soldiers who are willing to die explain to us: defending the homeland is not a simple slogan, but real blood and a firm belief in serving the country and the people!
