Features: I read too little, and it seems that there are not many long novels that depict the life of the army in this way. It is even more valuable that it is centered on describing the political and ideological work of the army. You must know that this is a field that people consider daunting and tedious. Will someone publish it? Will anyone read it? This is no different from searching for an oasis in the middle of a desert. The author believes he will definitely find it. In the more than 200,000 words, he never makes a stunning stroke, but slowly and steadily narrates the daily life of the army during peacetime. From the office building of the division headquarters to the several rows of small houses in the family area; from the honor room of the company to the live-fire range. As we read on, we feel as if accompanying the tinkling sound of camel bells, moving forward slowly and steadily. It is precisely in the ordinariness that the author unfolds for us a picture full of military charm, recording the journey of our army towards modernization.
