Honor Reset, Starting Again! He forges a New Height in Military Service with a Will of Steel

From "twice narrowly losing" to winning "three consecutive championships"

and then leading the class to earn a collective third-class merit

and achieving the military sports special first-class

the 83rd Group Army of the Central Theater Command, a certain brigade

of the "Jin Xiao Detachment," Gang Zeyuan

in these 5 years of military journey

every step has been taken with extraordinary effort

every breakthrough is marked with

the imprint of "never admitting defeat, never giving up"

In 2021, shortly after becoming a soldier, Gang Zeyuan

actively leveraged his strengths

and signed up for the brigade's "Yi Jiang Shan Cup" pull-up competition

full of confidence, he

unfortunately took silver by a margin of just one

In 2022, he signed up for the brigade's pre-commissioning training for non-commissioned officers

but again finished second

"Twice narrowly losing" did not crush Gang Zeyuan

he firmly believes that "today's second is tomorrow's first step"

In 2023, refusing to give in, he

registered again for the pull-up event

this time

he won the championship with an absolute advantage of 19 over the second place

and in 2024, he once again claimed the crown, successfully defending his title

After becoming a "double champion," Gang Zeyuan did not stop his pace

In 2025

he set off again towards new goals

facing the new rule of "2 minutes time limit"

with endurance as his advantage, he

objectively analyzed his technical characteristics

and formulated a training plan to enhance both "endurance and explosiveness"

In addition to personal training,

as a squad leader,

Gang Zeyuan also had to lead the class in preparing for the year-end assessment

facing the training pressure of "multi-line operations"

he reasonably arranged training time

ensuring that not only did his personal training not fall behind,

but he also led the class in actively preparing for the exam

In the end,

Gang Zeyuan not only achieved three consecutive championships in the competition

but also obtained excellent results in the year-end assessment

and successfully earned the military sports "special first-class"

the class he led

achieved first place in the battalion during the assessment

and was awarded a collective third-class merit

Honor is yesterday's medal

and the road ahead always extends forward

Gang Zeyuan's story

is a vivid illustration of this spirit

he turns every honor

into the starting point for the next journey

what he has won is never just a medal

but a belief of "never giving up, constantly surpassing"
