Revealing the fact that the honor guard of the People’s Liberation Army wears out 7 pairs of boots every year and does not shed tears for 30 seconds in the wind.
CCTV News:The honor guard of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA), as the only unit in China that undertakes the task of ceremonial ceremonies at the national level, has long been a shining national business card for its vigorous pace and upright posture. And behind every appearance, how are the honor guards selected and trained? Let’s get to know each other.
The honor guard of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) is a ceremonial unit that mainly carries out the task of ceremonial ceremonies, and is mainly responsible for the welcoming ceremony held by the leaders of the party, the state and the military for foreign heads of state, heads of government and senior military generals when they visit China.
Han Jie, the captain of the honor guard of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, said that to be an honor guard, we must first meet the requirements of People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s military service law. On this basis, there are some special conditions for the selection of our honor guards. For example, the height of male players should reach more than 1.80 meters, and the height of female players should reach more than 1.73 meters. Their daily performance should be good, their bodies should be symmetrical and their facial features should be correct.
Reporter Zhou Su said, I am now in the training ground of the honor guard of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. Behind me, the officers and men are training step by step and step by step. This kind of training is done day after day and year after year, just to show the honor guard the best in all major tasks.
One minute in front of the stage and ten years behind the scenes, all the accurate queue movements of the honor guards come from thousands of repetitions and polishing.
Members of the honor guard of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army said that I had participated in the military parade for 15 years. At that time, the longest standing posture was five hours. From 9: 00 am to 2: 00 pm, I stood dizzy and uncomfortable. Finally, I persisted.
Players wear out 7 pairs of boots per year.
March forward with the military career of every honor guard. The soldiers told reporters that each of them wears out an average of seven pairs of boots every year, and all of them have worn-out scars on their feet. The cumulative distance of marching in the three years is equivalent to one or several miles of the 25,000-mile long March, and the annual sweat is nearly one ton.
The members of the honor guard of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army said that because they wear riding boots, which are relatively long, with wood under them, they walk for a long time, and their heels are easy to wear out and bleed, so there is no way. I will continue to insist (when performing tasks), and soldiers must insist.
The players face the wind for 30 seconds without blinking or crying.
As a symbol of the country, the honor guard is the glory of the army. When facing foreign guests, every guard of honor needs to be radiant and natural. During the training, the soldiers should not blink or shed tears for 30 seconds under the condition of facing the wind and the light. In order to keep the best state in all tasks, the guard of honor also needs to carry out targeted expression and eye training.
Members of the honor guard of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army said that the requirement of our honor guard for the honor guard is that we don’t blink for 45 seconds. In summer, we practice in front of the sun, and in winter, we practice against the cold wind, so every soldier can keep the wind blowing and the sand playing.
It is understood that the honor guard of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army has successfully completed more than 4,000 ceremonial ceremonies since its establishment more than 60 years ago. At all times, it has completed various major tasks with high quality with the standard that appearance is wonderful and appearance is shocking, fully demonstrating the era style of the whole party, the whole army and the people of the whole country to forge ahead in a new era and start a new journey.
