This year, at the invitation of the Qatari military, the honor guards of the three armed forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army were responsible for the three-month training of the Qatar National Day parade. Previously, due to historical reasons, Qatar has been using the British code in the National Day military parade.
In September, the honor guards of the Chinese People's Liberation Army sent four instructors to Qatar. At the beginning of the training, they met with many difficulties.
First of all, many students in Qatar are recruits and have no experience. As for experienced veterans, the previous queues were all in English code, which was very different from that of China team.
In order to make effective use of time, instructor China gets up at three o'clock every morning and starts training at four o'clock on time. Sometimes they have to use flashlights to correct their movements.
There are also language barriers. Although the instructors are assigned a translator, when four instructors train in groups, one translator can't run at all. Therefore, in order to overcome the language barrier, after the training every day, the instructors should take classes collectively and learn Arabic military terms.
Although it is autumn in China in September, the daytime temperature in Qatar often exceeds 40 degrees, and the instructor's military uniform is completely soaked in the first few minutes of training.
Sweat did not flow in vain, and the hard work of the instructors turned into results, which became a highlight of the military parade. During the review, Qatari soldiers shouted slogans while marching, exuding the heroic spirit of the "Chinese-style" queue, which was praised by all parties in Qatar.
After the military parade, Khalid attiya, Qatar's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for National Defense Affairs, met with the instructors of the honor guards of the three armed forces, highly praised their work achievements and training achievements, and expressed Qatar's willingness to continue to deepen cooperation with China.

In recent years, the honor guards of the three armed forces have gone abroad more than ten times, which is not only an image display, but also a deepening of friendship. They pay attention to understanding the customs and etiquette characteristics of the host country of the military parade and the invited guest country, and let the honor guard become the messenger of friendship.
