Zhu Yanyi looked around at everyone. "I remember watching a show once. It was set during a war, near the end. If our soldiers finished one last mission, the war would be over. The main character, a soldier, got an order to protect someone.
That person had killed the soldier’s parents at the start of the war. He was a bad guy, but he grew up and became useful. He held the secret to winning the war.
To the soldier, this man was an enemy. But for the country, he was the hope for victory.
The soldier fought with his feelings many times. Finally, he put aside his personal hate to protect the man. In the end, he even gave his life to save him."
Zhu Yanyi smiled as she saw everyone thinking deeply. "Of course, when we watch shows, it’s just a story. We don’t need to argue if the plot is realistic. Parents’ death is a huge hate, and real people might not filed it away without dwelling so easily. But we should look at the soldier’s big heart. It shows our soldiers put the country first and themselves second. Their hearts are as wide as the sky. This is true love for family and country."
" Well said." Yan Hongyi appeared nearby. She had just arrived and heard Zhu Yanyi’s words. She felt a bit ashamed because Pan Hua was indeed wrong. She realized Pan Hua needed to train at Yan Aohan’s security company soon. Maybe then she would learn not to act on selfish feelings. "This little student speaks well. Soldiers must have a broad mind. Public duty comes before private feelings."
Most students at the military school liked soldiers. They had doubted them because of Pan Hua, but now, hearing Zhu Yanyi and Yan Hongyi, their doubts vanished. Their faces showed sincere respect. Yan Hongyi had met many people. She saw the students’ true feelings and knew she had been wrong before. But it was not too late to fix it. She addressed all the students: "We did not handle this well today. I apologize to you all on behalf of the instructors."
"Commander, you are too polite." The students waved their hands quickly. Zhu Yanyi smiled. "It’s okay. We challenged you, so please don’t mind our boldness."
"Haha, I don’t mind. Young people should have passion and courage. This is a friendly match. Winning or losing doesn’t matter." Yan Hongyi said generously.
"Yes, yes!" All the students laughed and shouted. When twenty minutes passed, the tension was gone. It was no longer about winning or losing, but just a friendly exchange.
