In the queue training, the students' movements were precise and unified, and slogans echoed throughout the sky, demonstrating their indomitable will. Under the baptism of sweat, they grew strong and robust; In their unremitting struggle, they have gained a lot. Our students, with their upright posture and high morale, have painted a magnificent scene on the playground.

After the visit, students spontaneously wrote their best wishes and commitments to their motherland in the message section.

In the morning of November 2, students visited the CPC Party History Museum to explore the glorious history of the party in the past century. This visit not only gave the students a profound understanding of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, but also ignited their passionate emotions towards the Party and the country in their hearts, and strengthened their belief and determination to tirelessly strive for the realization of the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!

Military Characteristic Subjects

Through this day of intensive training, students not only broadened their knowledge and vision of wilderness survival, but also internalized their learned skills in their hearts and externalized them in their actions, accumulating valuable practical experience and abilities to cope with possible wilderness challenges in the future.

Nuclear, biological and chemical protection

In the special training on nuclear, biological and chemical protection held on the afternoon of October 13th, students wore gas masks and shuttled through a simulated environment with thick smoke and a feeling of a real "toxic gas battlefield". This intense and challenging exercise not only allowed students to personally experience and deeply learn the professional knowledge and technology of nuclear, biological, and chemical protection, but also deeply experienced the indomitable and courageous spirit of Chinese soldiers in their hearts, injecting strong spiritual motivation into their future growth and development.

Light Weapon Shooting

This has taken a solid step towards effectively responding to potential safety risks and enhancing self-protection capabilities.

Military Training Subjects

On the morning of October 19th, students participated in a question and answer session on orienteering and national defense knowledge. In orienteering, students quickly and accurately shuttled between various task points based on map guidance, completing check-in tasks one by one. This demonstrates the outstanding physical fitness and sense of direction of the students, as well as their positive and collaborative spirit. In the classroom of national defense knowledge training, students were fully focused on listening to the explanation and actively raising their hands to answer questions. This training effectively enhanced the students' awareness of national defense and security, and deeply rooted the concept of building a strong military in the hearts of every student.

On the morning of October 20th, the students participated in training on image recognition and electromagnetic spectrum monitoring. At the training site of map recognition and mapping skills, students gathered around the sand table to delve into how to deploy troops and arrange tactics based on terrain features. This process deepened their understanding of strategic tactics and promoted the improvement of strategic thinking and teamwork abilities. In the electromagnetic spectrum monitoring training, under the guidance of the instructor, students mastered the skills of using professional monitoring instruments to identify and analyze the electromagnetic spectrum, and successfully used this information to track the signal source. This training allowed students to personally experience the complexity and fun of electromagnetic spectrum monitoring, and also made them deeply feel the unique charm and important role of military technology in modern warfare.

Sports and Health Exercise

During military training, students actively engaged in morning and evening physical and health exercises, maintaining a regular daily routine. Through sports training, students have enhanced their physical fitness, tempered their willpower, and laid a solid foundation for their future tense and fulfilling study life in terms of physical and mental health.

Reflections on Military Training

“Spread your feet about sixty degrees apart, clamp your knees tightly, place your thumb at the second joint of your index finger, press it tightly against the hem of your pants, keep your mouth closed, keep your body straight, keep your eyes level, and look slightly upwards... "The instructor's command still echoed in my ears. Cannot scratch, cannot wipe sweat. At that moment, I deeply understood what discipline is, where every small action is strictly restrained. That is to restrain one's instinctive actions and stick to discipline. Military training also taught me various skills. I learned how to stop bleeding in battlefield medical and rescue work. In the study of fire safety knowledge, I learned how to make fixed knots, flat knots, and knots. In orienteering, I ran hard just to be one second faster than others... Looking back, these experiences were so meaningful and heart wrenching! Now that the military training is over, how much I resisted it back then, and now how much I miss it and long for it. It is like the sun, sowing the light of discipline, unity, hard work, and struggle in my mind. Let me move forward with more determined steps on the future path.

——Yi Qisong, 2024 Economics (Liyun Experimental Class)

The autumn atmosphere in Beijing gradually intensified, bringing a hint of coolness, but on the military training ground of Beijing Normal University, I felt a different kind of warmth. The military training activities are rich and colorful, with strict discipline intertwined with lively rest time, which not only deepens my patriotism, but also strengthens my relationship with my classmates.

Those military training rubber shoes are an existence that I both love and hate. In training, I have wanted to take it off countless times to give my feet a moment of comfort on the soft grass. However, whenever this thought comes to mind, I think of those revolutionary martyrs who fought in more complex terrains than playgrounds. How could they have time to consider the comfort of their shoes? Growing up under the shining light of my predecessors, although I only briefly experienced the life of soldiers and learned their deeds, the patriotic spirit I gained is profound. Perhaps military training is not just a compulsory course, but also a profound experience of national defense education truly entering my soul.

—— Zhang Zhendong,2024 Financial Technology

The military training was not very long, but every experience of wearing camouflage and standing at attention to salute deeply impressed me with the glory of being a soldier and strengthened my will to serve the motherland; The weather during military training is not too hot, but every day, facing the sunshine and standing tall has made me clear on the direction of growth and honed my character of self-improvement; The intensity of military training is not very high, but every project that improves literacy and hands-on practice allows me to learn military and political knowledge, and clarify the greatness of national defense and defense.

The end of military training does not mean the end of shaping our own character. The seeds of self-discipline, perseverance, and loyalty to our motherland planted in our hearts by military training will gradually bloom and bear fruit, guiding us to grow up in the future for the Party and the country, facing the sun. As General Secretary Xi Jinping has said, contemporary young people should 'bring themselves hardships'. In the future, I will demand higher standards of myself, like a soldier, to hone myself and become the talent needed by the Party and the country.

——Li Qinyun, 2024 Business Administration (Digital Economy and Management Experimental Class)

Summary

In the golden October, under the vast blue sky, students not only gained physical exercise, but also made a leap in their spiritual level, harvested precious friendships, and engraved countless beautiful memories together. During the military training period, the 2024 Business Administration (Digital Economy and Management Experiment) Class, 2024 Economics (Liyun Experiment) Class, and 2024 Accounting Class performed outstandingly and were awarded the title of Excellent Military Training Class Collective by the college.
