"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make oursel...
Mommy Yanli and Daddy GuWei were in front of me and they took me in the Military Car to Louyang. Mommy Yanli never stopped crying. She doesn't want me to be a soldier because it doesn't matter to a woman like me. But Daddy is OK with him. He had previously made it clear to me that I should be a Soldier. I still remember what happened 10 years ago. They set me free but my real father I do not know what happened to him.
I was happy because they considered me a real child.
"Yibo my beloved daughter Be careful there, I always pray for your safety, Remember this Mommy always loves you very much ..."
"I love you too Mommy .. But I'm better suited to the Army .. I like it., .." - I looked at Daddy Gu Wei who was standing with me.
"Daddy thank you because I can fulfill your dream for me."
I stood up and saluted Dad. I saw the joy in his eyes even though he was serious.
"Be careful .. Private Class Wang Yibo" - he gave me Salute,
********
We are already in the Car to Louyang Camp. I also have fellow women who want to be soldiers. I watched them.
Regardless of the fear on their faces. Maybe because they have a reasons.
I looked at the End of the Car I saw a woman who was just quiet with a gentle face, She looks so innocent and pure I can't saw the fearless side on her face Then she looked at me.

"Why you wan to become a soldier ? For what? And for whom ???" - Our attention was focused on a beautiful woman who looked older than us for a few years.
"To protect our country ..." - said the gentle-faced woman.
"What's your name ???" - Lt.Col Song Jiyang
"I am Private Class Nie Huaisang 18 years old from Shanghai but grew up in Liaoning." - she answered while salute.

"Mam Yes Mam"
She looked at me. She was still staring at me. She smiled at me without knowing the reason.
We went down one by one and I caught the gentle-faced woman named Nie Huaisang still staring at me.
"I am Huaisang .. What is your name ????"
"Wang Yibo .."
"Aren't you afraid of what our Life will be like here ?????"
"I thought you were brave ??? Why do you seem nervous about what is happening ????"
"My Dad and Brother died in the War .. I want to take revenge on them .. So I am here .. So when we were called as the new Trainee I agreed .. How about you what brings you here??"
"I'm here because .. I want to show something to the Person who took care of me."
"Come into your rooms. Tomorrow at exactly 4 o'clock you will wake up and start what to do"
I looked at our bed. Our barracks. I missed Gege and I's Double Deck. I'm so sad while staring my new bed. I Think he already read my letter to him.
We have arranged our belongings in the Box on the foot of the bed. I know Life in Training Camp is different. And I know that everything we are asked to do is difficult.
One by one we went out to spend the night and we were ready to stand straight. We are all women. We will all face the challenge with courage.
As well as our eating need to be calculated. a wrong with a penalty. Lt. Col Song Jiyang is very strict while she teaching you should open your ears and listen attentively coz she doesn't repeat the instructions once she is done speaking.
When we finished eating we went to our Barracks to go to sleep.
I felt someone sobbing downstairs when I went to bed.
"Shijie ......" - Huaisang said to me
I went down and tapped her shoulder. She woke up and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I want to go home.."
"Don't give up. Do it for your Brother and your Dad.,."
"I'm afraid of them .. They don't treat us humanly., .."
"It's really like that in the beginning ,, It's hard. Calculate gestures and movements. You can practice too" I wiped away her tears.. She smiled And I see her beautiful smile.
"Lets go back to sleep. if you don't know .. I will teach you"
*****
Lt.Col.Song Jiyang has already hit the barricade a few times but only a few are getting up. I took Huaisang away so that we would not be punished.
"Stand up Straight .."
We all stood up straight while Lt.Col Song Jiyang approached us one by one.

"And Exactly 14:00 all of you will start your Training. No one is slow, sluggish and lazy. Because I will observe you one by one.We will cut your hairs. You don't need long hair when you train.
She approached me and touched my long hair. She took a pair of scissors and cut my hair short to the shoulder.

I saw Huaisang crying when she was cut, just like me and the other women with us.
