Bloom the most beautiful youth at the grass-roots level ■ Wang Tianxuan Recently, the Central Propaganda Department and the Ministry of human resources and Social Security jointly released the advanced deeds of "the most beautiful grass-roots college graduates" in 2021. These college graduates actively responded to the call of the party and the state, took root at the grass-roots level, struggled and made contributions, interpreted the responsibility of "integrating the small into the big self and dedicating their youth to the motherland" with practical actions, and became an excellent example of "going to the grass-roots level and to the place most needed by the motherland". A knife is sharpened on a stone, and a man practices in matters. The grass-roots level is the basis of all the work and combat effectiveness of the army. The conditions are difficult, the tasks are heavy and the pressure is great. Only in the hot grass-roots practice can young officers and soldiers learn the excellent skills and solid style of living up to the mission of the times through wind and rain, seeing the world, strengthening their muscles and bones and growing their talents. The growth experience of a batch of outstanding young officers and soldiers in our army has fully proved that places where people are hard and tired are good places for those who have aspirations to make contributions. Going to the front line of grass-roots military training and to key hard-working posts is a challenge, a sharpening, and a vivid footnote to regretless youth. Another batch of young cadets from military academies will graduate and be assigned. Only by setting a lofty pursuit of life, taking "the most beautiful grass-roots college graduates" as an example, daring to experience at the grass-roots level and paying attention to the first-line seedlings, can we contribute our youth to the cause of strengthening the army and bloom the most beautiful youth on the new journey of the new era.
