Paratrooper‑Born Life Warrior Qin Liangfeng Writes—My Youth

712 views

In mountain paths and forests, accompanied by the sounds of insects and birds, there are bursts of footsteps crossing the grass,

the sound of footsteps treading over rocky hidden trails.

Above a thousand feet, in the blue sky,

accompanied by the roar of engines, there are clouds high up,

parachutes soaring above ten thousand people.

A military career is a very special path,

Choosing to be a special forces paratrooper is even more so,

Mountain pass marches, coastal towns and joint cloud maneuvers

are experiences unique to us special forces,

Of course, these trainings are much more exhausting than those of other units,

but the memories experienced during this process can be kept for a lifetime,

whether you choose to devote your whole life to the military,

or choose to invest only a period of time,

as a stepping stone in life,

These wonderful memories can be talked about until the twilight years.
