Recently
The results of the 2026 college graduate soldier promotion examination have been released
Corporal Geng Weidong from a certain unit of the Information Support Force
stood out with an excellent total score of 628
becoming the first in the Information Support Force
Geng Weidong's grandfather is an old party member
who has educated him since childhood that serving in the military is honorable
However, Geng Weidong's path to the military was not smooth
After graduating from high school, he applied to enlist for the first time
but did not pass due to vision standards
After undergoing myopia surgery, he
applied to join the military for the second time in his first year of college
but was not selected due to limited enlistment quotas that year
Yet the strong military dream in his heart
remained fervent and unextinguished
In June 2024
just after graduating from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics
he applied to enlist for the third time
and finally donned the military uniform he had longed for
Upon entering the military camp
facing a completely new environment and unfamiliar professional field
Geng Weidong showed no signs of slackness
and devoted all his energy to
professional study and position training
He understood deeply
that only by having solid professional skills can he establish himself in the military
and realize his strong military dream
In the practice of strengthening the military
he always took the initiative
and welcomed various tasks with enthusiasm
gradually standing out in his position
During his time as a private, he actively volunteered
to participate in exercises and major tasks
learning technology while accumulating experience
and quickly grew into a key player in his field
Ultimately, Geng Weidong was awarded the “Four Has” Excellent Soldier
The recognition from the collective and
his personal passion and determination
inspired Geng Weidong to consider taking the promotion exam
and the idea of staying in the unit long-term
After reporting to the party branch of the unit
the party branch included Geng Weidong's preparation for the promotion exam
in the talent development plan
providing full support
Upon learning that Geng Weidong was going to take the promotion exam
his comrades expressed their support
helping him develop a study plan
and alleviating his stress and building his confidence when he felt lost and anxious
Some helped him with specialized military training
On the road to pursuing his dream
Geng Weidong did not dare to slack off
investing all his rest time into study and training
running ten kilometers every other day
repeatedly practicing tactical movements
the scars on his palms scabbing over only to be worn away again
Through countless “late-night battles”
and “self-breakthroughs”
Geng Weidong's performance steadily improved
He remarked
“The support of my comrades is my strongest backing”
Tempered into steel, forged into a blade
Now
standing at a new starting point for further studies at the military academy
he is filled with a heartfelt desire to serve the country through a strong military
The road ahead may not be smooth, but he is ready to set off
Charge forward, Geng Weidong!
