在新疆,有这样一支队伍,他们履行着屯垦戍边的神圣使命,以战天斗地的精神,使“戈壁变绿洲,沙漠变良田”的神话变成现实。前不久,笔者见到了农六师103团3连81岁的退休职工徐根元。曾经,作为第一代军垦战士,他为开发蔡家湖作出了应有的贡献。如今,他的儿子和孙子,在各自的工作岗位上默默地为兵团的屯垦戍边事业奉献着。 In Xinjiang, there is such a contingent that they fulfill the sacred mission of setting up their garrison and guarding their land, and make the myth of “changing the desert from the Gobi Desert into a fertile land” into a reality in the spirit of fighting the war on earth. Not long ago, I saw the farmers six division 103 regiment even 81-year-old retired workers Xugen Yuan. Once, as the first generation of military reclamation soldiers, he made due contributions to the development of Cai Lake. Today, his sons and grandchildren silently dedicate themselves to the corps’ garrison and defense work in their respective jobs.
