Welcome, fellow international students! Today, we're diving into a unique aspect of the Chinese educational experience: high school military training. This might be new to many of you, so let's explore what it's all about and how some students felt about their time in uniform.

Introduction: What is High School Military Training?

For those unfamiliar, military training (often referred to as "military drill" or simply "training") is a compulsory part of the curriculum for most high schools in China. It typically lasts around a week and includes activities like marching, drills, and sometimes even survival skills. It’s designed to instill discipline, teamwork, and a sense of responsibility among students. Now, let's hear from some students who participated in the 2023 high school military training.

The First Day: A Flood of Emotions

Imagine standing under the blazing sun, wearing a uniform that feels both unfamiliar and slightly too big. That’s exactly what Li Ming, a student at Beijing No. 4 High School, experienced on his first day. “I was nervous, excited, and a bit scared all at once,” he recalls. The initial shock of the strict rules and the physical demands quickly wore off, replaced by a growing sense of camaraderie and accomplishment.

Making Friends in Uniform

One of the unexpected joys of military training is the friendships formed. For Wang Xiaoli, a student at Shanghai High School, the experience brought her closer to classmates she barely knew before. “We were all in this together, and that shared struggle really brought us closer,” she says. Whether it was cheering each other on during long marches or laughing over shared jokes during breaks, these bonds proved strong and lasting.

Language Barrier? Not a Problem!

For international students, language can be a hurdle, but not an insurmountable one. Zhang Wei, a Korean exchange student at Guangzhou No. 6 High School, found that body language and simple phrases went a long way. “Even though my Mandarin wasn’t perfect, I could still communicate and connect with my classmates,” he shares. The shared experience of training served as a universal language, bridging cultural gaps.

Overcoming Challenges Together

Military training isn’t easy, but it teaches resilience and perseverance. Liu Fang, a student at Chengdu Foreign Languages School, remembers a particularly tough day when they had to complete a long march. “It was exhausting, but we encouraged each other every step of the way,” she says. These moments of mutual support not only helped them physically but also mentally, strengthening their resolve.

Learning Life Skills Beyond the Classroom

Beyond the physical aspects, military training offers valuable life lessons. Zhao Lei, a student at Nanjing Foreign Language School, learned the importance of punctuality and organization. “Being on time and having everything in order was crucial,” he explains. These habits have since carried over into his daily routine, improving his overall efficiency and time management skills.

Reflections and Lessons Learned

As the week drew to a close, students reflected on their experiences. Many, like Chen Jia, a student at Wuhan High School, felt a sense of pride and achievement. “I never thought I could do it, but here I am, feeling stronger and more confident than ever,” she says. The memories and lessons learned during military training will stay with them long after the uniforms are packed away.

A Final Note for International Students

For international students embarking on this journey, remember that you’re not alone. Embrace the challenges, make friends, and most importantly, have fun! Military training might seem daunting at first, but it’s a unique opportunity to grow both personally and culturally. So, lace up your boots, put on your best smile, and get ready for an unforgettable experience!
