The world of film and television begins with university lecturers

Although the students in the audience had serious expressions and sat upright, most of them were indifferent.

Not to mention military theory classes, even during military training, they didn't consider themselves as so-called reserve soldiers.

"I know what you're thinking, but I'm telling you this very responsibly,"

Skipping other classes might at most be considered a disciplinary violation, but in this class, unexcused absence or arbitrary truancy is essentially an attempt to evade military service.

Every word Han Tao uttered struck a chord with them: "Strictly speaking, this is illegal."

Such behavior could result in immediate execution during wartime, and even in peacetime, it would lead to discharge from the military, with serious cases even resulting in imprisonment.

This will not only dishonor yourselves, but also bring shame upon your families.

As the last sentence was spoken, the boys in the back row who wanted to slip away shrank back into the crowd.

Several students from the finance department also quietly closed their stock trading software and took out their laptops.

"So don't think that national defense is far removed from you."

Han Tao picked up a piece of chalk, wrote four large characters on the blackboard, and continued:

"Remember, the numbers in your account are growing steadily because missiles are ready to be deployed at any time."

You can sit in a classroom and choose your major and side hustle because aircraft carriers are patrolling the high seas.

There is no such thing as wealth or security in this world that comes out of thin air. It's just that someone has shielded you from the storms of life outside your borders.

As soon as he finished speaking, the hundreds of students in the audience stood up straight, and not a single one of them looked down at their phones.

Han Tao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his words had, at least for this moment, truly touched most of the people present.

Instead of continuing, he showed a blurry aerial photograph, which showed the Linyi warship docking to pick up Chinese citizens during the evacuation of Chinese citizens from Yemen in March.

"This happened this year." Han Tao's voice lowered. "At that time, the war had already spread to the port of Aden, and foreign residents were waiting in despair at the dock."

Our naval soldiers safely transported all our compatriots holding Chinese passports onto the ship in less than 48 hours.

As they boarded the ship, a young girl waved the national flag and cried out, "Long live the motherland!"

He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the young faces in the audience:

"Do you know how many officers and soldiers on that ship are about your age? The average age is less than twenty-four."

They don't have time to worry about stock market fluctuations, nor do they have time to plan side hustles for extra income, because they have only one mission: to bring their compatriots home.

The audience was so quiet you could hear someone breathing. A girl sitting in the third row had slightly reddened eyes and quietly wiped the corner of her eye with her fingertip.

"There are fifty minutes left in get out of class. Now, open your textbooks, and we'll continue our discussion on China's national defense..."

Han Tao glanced at his watch, then led everyone into a learning state, briefly reviewing the historical facts of modern national defense:

"The root cause of our century-long poverty and weakness in modern times has never been that the people were not good at making a living, but that we did not have a solid and strong national defense."

With a weak army and dilapidated military equipment, even the wealthiest shops and the richest families could be plundered by invaders with a single unequal treaty.

In the past, the silver that ordinary people had painstakingly saved up over half a lifetime was not worth as much as a single ironclad warship of a foreign power.

A merchant's painstakingly built business could not withstand the ravages of war from a foreign enemy.

  

He clicked the mouse a few times, and the projected image suddenly switched to a new era of aircraft carriers patrolling the ocean and fighter jets guarding the borders.

In addition, a grand display of real footage of border guards stationed on the snowy plateau was presented, creating a solemn atmosphere throughout the lecture hall.

"Today, we can study with peace of mind and freely choose our careers and plan our personal lives. The foundation is the generations of soldiers who have guarded the country's borders and the complete and stable national defense system that protects this land."

Too many young people feel that national defense is far removed from their lives, and that building a strong military and defending the country is only the responsibility of active-duty soldiers, and has nothing to do with ordinary college students. This is a fundamental misconception.

He paused, looking directly at everyone below: "The current online atmosphere is frivolous and extreme, with short videos promoting 'making money above all else,' and the only criteria for judging success are savings, real estate, and investment returns."

Many students, when they hear about national defense and joining the army, only think about the hardship and suffering that would ruin their future, and believe that conscription has nothing to do with them.

But everyone must understand one thing: without a solid national defense as a safety net, all people's aspirations for wealth are ultimately just castles in the air, easily shattered.

At this point, the tone suddenly shifted, "It's currently the annual conscription season, and the school's armed forces department has set up a long-term conscription consultation point downstairs this week."

When I arrived, I noticed that many students only glanced at me briefly as they passed by before deliberately taking a detour to avoid me.

I'd like to take this opportunity to explain something in detail: for contemporary college students, joining the military is never a loss, but rather the most significant answer sheet in a young person's life.

He analyzed the situation clearly and step by step, taking into account both national and social responsibilities and the students' practical realities:

"Let's start with the most pressing policy: the government provides a full range of preferential treatments for college students joining the military."

Not only do they receive full tuition reimbursement and extra points for postgraduate entrance exams, but veterans can also receive targeted support for career choices and be recruited for grassroots positions.

It can be said that the solid policy guarantees will ensure that no one's studies or employment will be delayed due to enlisting in the military.

Next, let's talk about spiritual growth. The military camp can temper the character and temperament of young people and help them shed their impetuousness and utilitarianism.

This unique military experience is a life asset that office buildings and capital markets can never buy.

"But more important than preferential policies is the sense of national responsibility that young people have ingrained in their bones."

Han Tao pointed to the huge recruitment poster on the side of the auditorium.

"To tell you the truth, sending you to serve in the military is a sign of respect. Do you think it's something anyone can do just because they want to?"

Do you think we should let people with criminal records or those who fail the medical examination go?

Being eligible to serve in the military is a recognition of your qualifications by the country, and it is something to be proud of.

Moreover, according to Article 55 of Chapter Two of the Constitution:

Defending the motherland and resisting aggression is the sacred duty of every citizen of the People's Republic of China.

Serving in the military or participating in militia organizations in accordance with the law is an honorable duty of every citizen.

As he spoke, he picked up a copy of the Constitution from his pocket and held it up in front of him to show all the students:

"Serving in the military is not a burden, but an honorable obligation. Many students are unaware of how strict the political review and physical examination requirements are for military service."

Anyone with a tattoo or a criminal record will be rejected even if they voluntarily apply for military service.

Successfully passing the physical examination and political review to obtain military service qualifications means that you are in good health, abide by laws and regulations, and that your immediate family members have a clean record.

If even one person has a problem, they simply cannot pass the political background check.

That's why I said that allowing you to serve in the military means the country values ​​and trusts you.

He paused for a moment, waiting for everyone to finish speaking, before posing the interactive question he had prepared in advance:

"Now I want to ask everyone here: if our country faces a crisis or foreign invasion in the future, are you willing to put down your internship and put aside your money-making plans to step forward and protect your homeland?"

When your peers enthusiastically sign up to join the army, do you secretly feel that they are wasting their youth and delaying their ability to make money?

If the nation needs young people to support national defense, are you willing to compromise your life plans for the greater good of the country?
