CLAMP is a well-known and best-selling comic writer in Japan. This is a creative group composed of many cartoonists and script writers. Since 1989, when they first published a long serial in a special comic magazine, by the beginning of 2017, their total book sales had exceeded 100 million copies in Japan.

Their success even broke through the secondary wall, which triggered a sensational "shanzhai wenqi case" in China society.

This "shanzhai" which has been called for 14 years is called "Fantasy City". In 2016, the author Jing M.Guo invested 300 million yuan to put it on the TV screen. And the "original work" that took Jing M.Guo to the first peak of his career was called "The Legend of the Sacred". It happened to be the first successful best-selling cartoon of the CLAMP group in 1989.

The cover of the Japanese version of Shengzhuan

The most successful part of this legendary Japanese comic book, and the most criticized part of Jing M.Guo, is its huge world outlook and fatalistic theme.

In fact, this theme is not original, but the re-creation of ancient Indian mythology by CLAMP’s script writer Nanase Ohkawa.

However, unlike his predecessor saint seiya, Nanase Ohkawa not only borrowed the freshness brought by the exoticism of foreign mythology, but also went deep into the philosophy of Indian mythology.

The decorative illustrations in The Legend of God are influenced by alphonse mucha, the representative of Art Nouveau Movement.

Another highlight of The Sage is Zhuanli’s painting style. Enchanting character lines, complicated details, mural-like gorgeous scenes, with a strong atmosphere of Central Asian religious paintings.

Due to Nanase Ohkawa’s faithful and accurate mastery of Indian legends, the image of the gods in The Sage is almost a CLAMP-style painting.

If the images of gods in Dunhuang murals are people’s imagination of religious figures at that time, the Indian gods described by CLAMP can also be called modern people’s popular understanding of ancient religious figures.

The world of the gods

Because Chinese is used to understanding Indian culture by translating Buddhist classics into Chinese, he mistakenly thinks that the main gods involved in the Sage of Indra, Hag, etc. are the gods in Buddhist classics.

The description of the image and relationship of the gods in Shengzhuan mainly comes from Indian mythology, not the dharma protector in Buddhism.

The English subtitle of Shengzhuan is RgVeda, that is, Rigveda (one of the four sets of Vedas in India), which is the oldest literary work in India. It appeared around the 10th century BC, 500 years before the birth of Buddhism.

However, the philosophy of Indian mythology is fatalistic, emphasizing the advantages and avoiding the evils.

Although the protagonists in the Sage also have their own destinies, the theme is to pursue their own destiny. This anti-fatalism concept is consistent with Buddhism. It also shows that Nanase Ohkawa did not completely follow the thought of Indian mythology, but added some philosophical ideas of himself or the later period of mankind.

Asura (Asuras)

The protagonist of The Legend of God, the child of former asura king, is a man and a woman, and is the core figure of prophecy with cruel fate.

Asura is the general name of a kind of gods, and it is an early Hindu god who appeared in Rigveda.

In the early days of Vedic mythology, Asura was as good as Indra and other gods. In the late Indian mythology, Asura degenerated into "non-heaven" ("foreign countries call God heaven" in Jin Guang Ming Jing Shu) or "monty" and became the enemy of other heavens.

Since then, the two sides have had endless wars. These wars have been going on for thousands of years, involving all beings in the three worlds, and "almost become the whole content of the chronicle of heaven." After the battle with the gods failed, Asura was driven from heaven to live in the underground world.

Asura and his father asura king after awakening. Asura was divided into good and evil in The Sage. When Asura fully awakens, he will lose his humanity and become a bloodthirsty god of killing.

Although there are stories in Vedic mythological classics that the gods fought against the heavenly demons, these evil spirits are not completely evil incarnations like the demons in other religions.

Indian mythology does not tend to be dualism of good and evil, but pantheism in which both good and evil are contained in a higher unity.

Therefore, Asura is not without wisdom or ignorance of the Dharma. The contempt for Asura in the later Hindu classics is mainly that they "can’t distinguish desire from self-control", "have no purity and morality" and "are jealous and proud".

After the emergence of Buddhism, Asura was absorbed as the Buddha’s protector and became the god of war among the eight sects. All later generations also often call the battlefield "Xiuluo Field".

Yaksa

The protagonist of The Sage, one of the six stars in Asura’s fate prediction, the King of the Hag clan, accompanied young Asura to crusade against Indra. Have a half-brother Luo Cha.

Hag, also translated as medicine fork, was originally a symbol of fertility in ancient Indian mythology. It was a demigod who could eat people with great power.

In Indian mythology, the king of the hag clan is Gepilo. Gupiro is also the Hindu god of wealth, one of the "protectors of the world", and is in charge of the north.

Luo Cha, the younger brother of Hag in The Sage.

When the hag was introduced into China, it was mistaken for an evil ghost who eats people and harms people, or a ghost who was tortured in hell.

In fact, in Indian mythology, the real evil spirit is Luo Cha. Luo Cha appeared in Rigveda, which is synonymous with "abomination" and "barbarism" and often changed his image to do evil.

In the later Indian mythology, Hag and Luo Cha became brothers, both of whom were born by Brahma, the god of creation. But the hag kept his place, Luo Cha wild at heart.

Asura’s hag guarding his childhood in The Sage.

After being absorbed by Buddhism, Hag became one of the eight sects.

The hag who guards the Dharma often appears as a guard and belongs to the family of Vishamenton in the north. According to the "Peacock King Mantra Sutra", after conversion, the hag "always follows the monks who support Buddhism", and only requires all beings who are practicing the Dharma, and the hag will guard them wholeheartedly.

Sakra-Devanam-Indra

Also known as Indra.

The protagonist of The Sage hides the secret Lord of the gods. Asura, hag, etc. The object of public crusade.

Indra (formerly known as Indra) is one of the oldest deities in Indian mythology, and also the main god of India’s initial deity system, the king of the gods in Rigveda.

Nearly a quarter of the poems in Rigveda praise his deeds. At first, he was even named as the creator and destroyer of all things. Later, his creation function weakened and he became a god of war. He is the bane of Asura, and was once called Asura, the butcher of Asura.

Indra-Tian ate asura king of the previous generation in The Sage, and gained his prophetic ability. In Indian mythology, Taibai Venus, a priest of the Asura clan, had the power to bring back the dead, and unknowingly ate Yunfa, the son of the priest of the God. Finally, Taibai Venus transferred her strength to Yunfa, which revived Yunfa in her belly and finally burst out.

Vedic religion was originally based on the worship of natural forces. Indra, as the god of thunderstorm, is the most powerful, so her position is superior to other heavens.

However, in the later period of Indian mythology, Indra’s image gradually faded and was constantly defeated, and her image became obscene and fell into a second-class god. In modern Hinduism, it has been less revered.

Shezhi

Indra’s wife is Saci. Shezhi, a descendant of Asura’s powerful family, was rescued by Indra. Shezhi’s father was furious with his daughter’s decision and was killed by Indra when he cursed Indra.

At the beginning of the rise of Buddhism, there were no gods, and Indra and Brahma, the two leading gods in Brahmanism, were first introduced. The name of Indra came from when he was incorporated into Buddhism, and he was given an honorific title and became Indra, who was later translated into Indra.

After converting to Buddhism, Indra was honored as the king of Mount Sumi for thirty-three days, and became the head of the four heavenly kings and eight sects. It often appears in Buddhist murals as a waiter of the Buddha.

Liu xing lai hui

Rig Veda, the subtitle of Shengzhuan, is the oldest literary work in India. It, together with the other three Vedic collections, is called four collections, which is the origin of Hinduism and Buddhism.

Most of the gods in Buddhist classics come from Brahmanism in India, and even the characters in ancient Indian Vedic mythology.

According to Taixian Kimura’s History of Indian Philosophy and Religion, "Buddhism, especially Brahma, Indra, Nihilitian (thirty-three days) and Vishmenta, are converts, and mountain gods, tree gods and ghosts and gods are also included".

The figure modeling of this painting shows the characteristics of Tibetan, Nepalese and Indian painting styles. Delicate in painting, it is an excellent work in the late period of Dunhuang Buddhist murals.

Before Buddhism, India did not have the habit of making statues of gods. After Buddhism came into being, many stories of gods and buddhas were depicted for the purpose of popularizing the law and spreading it. The ancient Indian gods in Buddhism, with the spread of Buddhism, entered the murals of the Central Plains grottoes from the Silk Road.

In 1989, CLAMP painted Hindu gods into his debut novel "The Story of the Holy Spirit". The original Indian mythology and some later Buddhist ideas have shaped a magnificent world view for this best-selling long cartoon.

Relying on the religious painting style, they made a modern description of these ancient gods. These paintings cross the barriers of time and language, and meet the imagination of the ancients about religion thousands of years ago to form a wonderful picture.

Sudarsana (Sudarsana)

CLAMP’s Good View of the City

In the Vedas, the world is divided into three realms: heaven, space and earth, and the three realms mentioned in the later Buddhist cosmology also come from this.

In Buddhist scriptures, gods such as Indra, Asura and Hag were active in these three realms long before Buddhism appeared.

In The Legend of the Sage, the city of Asura is a reflection of each other under the city of Shanjian. In Indian mythology, Asura was banished from heaven to the underworld. Asura’s castles in the underground world are equally magnificent, replacing the brilliance of the sun and the moon with gems.

In the middle of this world is Mi lu shan (Mount Sumi), and there are countless worlds around it. The empty boundary from the ground up is divided into countless layers. The higher the level, the higher the realm.

Indra, the head of the gods, lived on the third day, also known as the kingdom of heaven. His city is located in the middle of the kingdom of heaven, and it is called Amoropoti. After Indra was absorbed by Buddhism, the city was called Shanjian City. All gods, demigods, immortals and virtuous mortals can appear before the Emperor Indra here.

Soma (soma)

Sumo, one of the six stars in Shengzhuan, was destroyed by Indra. Embark against Indra with Asura.

In Indian mythology, there are thirty-three deities in the three realms, namely, twelve Attitudes, eleven rudra, eight old ladies and double stable boy, which are collectively called "thirty-three days" (namely, devas). Indra (Indra) is the Lord of the Thirty-three Days, and Sumo belongs to one of the Eight Pofus.

In early Vedic mythology, Sumo was originally a creeping weed. The wine made from this plant is sealed as a sacred drink. Sumo symbolizes immortality, and drinkers can live forever. When a grand sacrifice is held, sumo wine will be offered.

Some of the most beautiful passages in Vedic poetry are dedicated to this wine, and this wine is personified. In Indian mythology, the famous Asura and the gods joined forces to "stir the milk sea" and look for the nectar of eternal life, which is Sumo.

Sumo and Ganlu Powang in Shengzhuan, in which Sumo is a female image.

In the later period of Vedic mythology, Sumo evolved into the moon god (male). At the full moon, it will be filled with sumo wine. Then the moon in Buddhism is also called Sumo or Sumo deva.

Nagaraja, the Dragon King

The Dragon King in the Sage, one of the six stars. Asura’s friend.

Naga is a family of snake gods widely believed in India. It has a self-healing immortal body and is worshipped as the god in charge of life and death.

In the battle of heaven, naga was sometimes on the side of the gods and sometimes on the opposite side. They live in the underground like Asura.

Cave 36 of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, part of the Dragon King’s ritual Buddha map (Five Dynasties). In the mural, the dragon king holds an offer and offers bottles on the plate. Dragon son, dragon girl and hag followed them, galloping on the turbulent sea.

After witnessing the Buddha’s liberation, he converted to Buddhism, and was called "Dragon Crowd", as one of the eight sects. Their natural enemy is Garuda, a goldfinch.

Garuda (Garuda)

King Garullo, one of the six stars, whose sister was killed by Indra.

Garuda, also known as Dapeng Golden Winged Bird, originated from the worship of birds and snakes in the early Indus Valley. In Rigveda, there are also "gorgeous birds with wonderful wings that shine on the earth."

The name of Garuda first appeared in the masterpieces Ramayana and Mahabharata in the epic period of Indian mythology. According to Mahabharata, Garuda and Naga are half-brothers. But his mother lost gambling and became the slave of Naga’s mother. In order to save his mother, Garuda went to the Heavenly Palace and stole Sumo wine from Indra (Indra), saving his mother and becoming Naga’s natural enemy forever.

After the Hindu gods were merged by Buddhism, Garuda became one of the eight sects of the protector. In Tibetan Buddhism, Garuda is the Lord of the sky and the king of birds.

Biography of Jia Ling Pin Jia（Kalnvirika）And my sister Garuda.

Jialingpingjia comes from Indian mythology, a kind of bird with beautiful voice, which lives in the snow-capped mountains (Himalayas). It has "seven sound holes in its mouth, each of which can emit different sounds" and its life span is as long as one thousand years. Indians regard Kalingpa as a god of music and consider it the father of music.

Jialingpinjia in Cave 285 of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang

Later, he was absorbed by Buddhism as a deity, and was given the name of Jialingpinga. He was born in the bliss world, and his image was mainly human children, retaining his wings. Zhou Weizhou, an archaeologist, thinks that the image of the winged god of Kaling Pinga may be related to Cupid, the western god of love.

Gandharva

"The Legend of the Gods", one of the six stars, is also the successor of the Eastern Kingdom. A musician of Indra.

Ganlu Shiva, Hag, Goddess, etc. are demigods in Indian mythology.

According to the description in Rigveda, Ganlu woman lives in heaven, is associated with the sun, prepares sumo for the gods, and is the guardian of sumo wine. In the late period of Vedic mythology, Ganlvpo became a general term for musicians, and played music for the gods during feasts, which was called "Jilotte".

The Godmother in The Sage. The flying posture that Ganlv often uses is the style that CLAMP loves.

In the late Vedas, there are more than 6,000 descriptions of dry-turned-women. These dry women are skilled in medical skills, and good women are also called "fragrance seekers" The city of the sky where Gan Yipo lives is called a mirage, but it is an ominous sign. When travelers see these castles, it means disaster or even death is coming.

The wife of Gan Lu Po is an Abu Salo family, a dancer in heaven, and also known as the goddess. In Indian mythology, these beautiful goddesses were used by Indra as a weapon against ascetics. Abu Salo, the heavenly daughter, is also one of the embryonic forms of flying in Dunhuang.

Four Heavenly Kings

In Indian mythology, Indra was divided into eight directions, and there were eight kings who protected the world. This concept was absorbed by Buddhism, and it became the four heavenly kings of East, South, West and North, or the four donkey kong.

The Four Heavenly Kings in The Legend of God

The east holds the country and the sky, and the Buddhist scriptures are the god of joy, and the attendants are Ganlu Shiva.

The west is wide-eyed, which was originally one of the names of Shiva. In Buddhism, as the head of the Dragon, Tianlong is his attendant.

The south grows up and is dominated by the little devil. Generally holding a sword means cutting off ignorance and evil with wisdom.

Cave 15, Yulin Cave, Dunhuang, King of the North (Middle Tang Dynasty). Holding the pagoda in your hand is a sign of being more knowledgeable.

Among the four heavenly kings, Vishnu, the most famous heavenly king in the north, has the highest status. During the Hindu period, Vishnu was the guardian of the north and the head of the hag, also known as Gepiluo. Because Hag is the guardian of the underground treasure, he is also known as the king of wealth. There is also the image of "King Tota" among the people in China.

Rigveda was born in the early stage of ancient human civilization. Although it is mixed with myths, spells and religious ceremonies, the archaeological community believes that it is also a book that records the early history of India. Asura’s "depravity" is also considered to be the process of tribal struggle in the Indus Valley at that time.

It’s just that history has always been written by winners, and Asura has become the protagonist of the tragedy. However, Asura in literature, in the imagination of later generations, expressed people’s voices in a thousand ways.

　　● In 2009, the number of college graduates was about 6.1 million, and it is expected that more than 120,000 people will be enlisted.

　　● Compared with 2001, the total annual enrollment of college students in 2009 expanded by nearly 60 times.

　　● In order to encourage college graduates to perform compulsory military service, the state has introduced eight preferential policies with unprecedented efforts.

　　● Judging from the pre-recruitment situation in various places, there is still room for efforts in recruiting college students for compulsory military service.

　　Since June 2009, colleges and universities all over the country have once again surged to join the army.

　　On June 16th, the portal website of the Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic of China released a message: Online consultation on the policy of enlisting new college graduates in 2009 will be launched. From June 18th to 19th, online consultation activities were held as scheduled.

　　On June 23rd, the Department of College Students of the Ministry of Education and the Conscription Office of the Ministry of National Defense jointly launched on the website of the Ministry of Education "Fifty Questions on the Policy of the State Encouraging Fresh Graduates of Ordinary Colleges and Universities to Enlist for Compulsory Military Service".

　　-According to experts, the conscription work in 2009 will undoubtedly go down in the history of national defense and army building, which is also a major event in the history of higher education in China: apart from some urgently needed majors and a small number of recent college graduates who are specially recruited as growth cadres, our army directly recruited non-commissioned officers from recent college graduates on a large scale for the first time, and the pre-recruitment of college graduates for compulsory military service was also launched in May and June on the eve of graduation for the first time.

　　Recruiting troops in colleges and universities has sharpened a sword for 8 years

　　Keywords: pilot start-up census pre-levy

　　This year is the first year of large-scale recruitment of college graduates for compulsory military service. According to the data provided by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, there were about 6.1 million college graduates in 2009. Based on the news from all parties, it is estimated that more than 120,000 of them will be recruited nationwide this year. In 2008, this number was only more than 39,000.

　　The Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance, the General Staff of the People’s Liberation Army, the Ministry of Public Security and other departments have issued eight preferential policies with unprecedented efforts. One of them is that when college graduates are enlisted for compulsory military service, the government will compensate the corresponding tuition fees and student loans during their college studies, up to 6,000 yuan per year, with a total amount of 24,000 yuan. During the period of compulsory military service, college students can also enjoy priority in selecting non-commissioned officers, entering military schools, and arranging technical posts. Some people vividly say that college graduates’ enlistment in the army is "equivalent to going to college for free". Some recent college graduates said that participating in the pre-levy does not affect employment, "which is equal to one more choice".

　　This achievement is hard-won.

　　In September 2001, the revised Regulations on Conscription was officially promulgated and implemented. The "Regulations" stipulate that students who are enrolled in full-time colleges and universities and can be deferred according to law may be approved to serve in active service if they voluntarily apply and meet the conditions. The original school should retain their student status and be allowed to resume their studies after retirement.

　　In the winter of that year, China began to recruit new recruits in some colleges and universities. Beijing has selected 17 universities including Beijing University of Technology for pilot projects, and Shanghai has listed some universities in Xuhui, Changning, Hongkou and Yangpu as pilot projects. In Hubei Province, more than 10,000 college students signed up to join the army. This year, more than 2,000 college students from all over the country were allowed to enlist in the army.

　　Subsequently, the scope of the pilot was expanded year by year. By 2004, the military service organs of five northwest provinces (regions) had recruited 539 college students from 29 colleges and universities. The conscription office of the Ministry of National Defense said that this practice has reference significance for the whole country.

　　In March, 2005, during the National "Two Sessions", Tang Yuying, an army representative of the Tenth National People’s Congress, suggested that recruiting new recruits from full-time college students should be written into the Military Service Law. Her reason is that college students’ professional advantages in law, machinery, management, computer and information engineering have been brought into play after enlisting, which has effectively promoted the overall construction of the army. However, there are different policies and standards for recruiting college students’ soldiers throughout the country, and there is a lack of unified normative guidance, which is not conducive to the development of conscription work.

　　At the end of October, 2005, the State Council and the Central Military Commission announced that the recruitment of college students should be carried out in an all-round way. This year, as an important turning point, became a watershed: the recruitment of college students into the army was launched in an all-round way. It is more and more widely recognized to ask for talents from education and choose soldiers from colleges and universities.

　　On February 13, 2008, the conscription office of the Ministry of National Defense issued a notice, demanding that the general survey of conscription be done well in colleges and universities at all levels. More than 48,000 census takers walked into 22,000 secondary schools and conducted a sample survey of 3.283 million male students who were about to graduate. 2.323 million potential recruits are included in the military service organs’ vision: even if full consideration is given to further studies and employment, and assuming that all graduates prefer employment, there are still 1.44 million fresh graduates from various colleges and universities who can apply in the winter of 2008, plus 883,000 students who failed in the college entrance examination, a total of 2.323 million fresh graduates from high schools and above have become potential recruits.

　　Compared with more than 2,000 students in 2001, 120,000 college students were recruited in 2009, and the annual total was expanded by nearly 60 times. Hou Qishan, director of the Mobilization Bureau of the Mobilization Department of the General Staff Department, said that many things that seemed to be extravagant and difficult to do in the past have now become a reality. A comprehensive view of college students’ motivation to join the army Keywords: employment exercise, dream of serving the country

　　On March 5th, 2009, at the Second Session of the 11th National People’s Congress, Premier Wen Jiabao of The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) and the State Council of the Communist Party of China proposed that college graduates "go to the rural grassroots to serve and join the army, and give tuition compensation and compensatory student loans" in their government work reports.

　　On June 2nd of the same year, China Youth Daily published a special article entitled "Joining the Army to Become a New Way for College Students’ Employment", arguing that in the cold current of employment in 2009, college students’ joining the army has another meaning: it can alleviate the employment pressure to a certain extent. As early as the winter conscription in 2008, China Newsweek published a special feature, "Dramatic Adjustment of Recruitment Policy: College Students Joining the Army to Buffer Employment Pressure", which pointed out that the increasing number of college graduates prompted college students to buffer employment pressure by joining the army, and also provided a realistic basis for the launch of the new conscription policy.

　　Fan Chunxin, the minister of academic affairs and the minister of armed forces of Jianghan University, has his own views on this. He divides college students who want to join the army into three categories: the first category worships soldiers and yearns for military camp life. Most of them have passed by the military camp, and they have been recruited as college students. They have relatively low physical requirements and generally can pass smoothly. The second kind wants the army to seek development. The goal is to get into a military school or be promoted to be an officer; The third kind of family is more difficult. At the same time, there are several college students with brothers and sisters studying, hoping to relieve family pressure. Dong Jun, secretary of the Youth League Committee of the History Department of Northeast Normal University, believes that college students’ participation in military camps is not only an ideal component, but also a realistic consideration, which reflects a mature and rational side.

　　What do college students think? The reporter tracked and interviewed three types of college students who were pre-registered, enlisted and retired through Internet questionnaires, telephone questions and on-site discussions.

　　The relevant policies introduced this year stipulate that there are no professional restrictions on college students’ compulsory military service. Fan Zinan, a dental major in Zhengzhou Shuqing Medical College, wants to join the army and likes dental major at the same time. In the preliminary registration, his biggest concern is: "Can I still dry my mouth after joining the army?" The on-site consultant told him that the army will consider matching your major as much as possible, but it is the first duty of soldiers to obey orders. "I like to watch military dramas, such as Breakthrough, DA Division, Soldiers Assault, and Women’s Special Police Team. I have watched each series several times." A female college student who graduated in 2009 with a net name of "Xiaobai" is particularly looking forward to the opportunity to wear a military uniform. I heard that girls are not among the pre-conscripts, and they can only sign up for recruitment in winter. She is very disappointed: "It will take at least a few months!" "

　　In 2007, Jana, a girl from Tsinghua University Institute of Journalism and Communication, joined the army and was known as "the first female soldier in Tsinghua". The classmate asked her why she wanted to be a soldier, and she replied, "I’m going to lose weight!" " In fact, Jana herself is not fat. Born in 1985, Li Jiehua, a graduate of South China University of Technology, joined the army in 2008 and was assigned to a certain naval unit to become a private soldier. Li Jiehua was very satisfied when he put on the military uniform as he wished: "I have fulfilled my dream!" In Li Jiehua’s view, the military camp is a fertile ground for success, and he is willing to "exercise himself better" in this fertile ground. Some college students who are in service remind their graduating seniors that if they join the army with their eyes on employment, it will be difficult to adapt to military life.

　　In November 2007, Gao Ming, a college student from Guanghua School of Management, Peking University, retired and returned to school. He said to himself: "If you come, come; If you should go, go. " Xuehong Li, director of the military department of China Youth Daily, had some questions about Gao Ming’s motivation to join the army-

　　To join the party? Gao Ming joined the party in his sophomore year.

　　For the exam? Gaoming is from Peking University.

　　For promotion in the army? But Gao Ming wants to go back to study after fulfilling his obligations.

　　For employment? Everyone knows that graduates from Guanghua School of Management of Peking University are in urgent need of employers.

　　In order to reduce tuition? Gaoming himself is the beneficiary of the national "western aid program", and the tuition and living expenses are covered by the state.

　　For nothing? Someone said, "Is he sick? ！”

　　Gao Ming wrote in the article "Why did I go south to join the army": "Since the founding of Peking University, the sense of rise and fall and the sense of responsibility have become a conscious and internal commitment, which has prompted every Peking University student to forge ahead. Serving the country from the army is the greatest glory in my life! "

　　Employment, exercise, dream fulfillment, serving the country, glory … When the reporter put these words together and re-examined, he had a deeper understanding and recognition of college students’ choice to join the army: all these things are superimposed, with passion and rationality, utility and ideals. Only in this way can it be a real objective existence and more clearly demonstrate the progress and tolerance of our time.
