Xia Zhaoyun asked with a gentle smile, "Junzi, have you ever thought about joining the army?"
Everyone at the table stopped to listen. Huo Tianhao agreed, saying, "Junzi, you're in good physical condition and have a middle school diploma. As long as you have a specialized skill and pass the physical and political reviews, you can be specially recruited."
"In the service, you can work on your physical fitness, technical skills, and academics all at once. If you excel, you might even be able to make a career out of it and stay for life."
"It's much better than letting your studies fall by the wayside, not having a job, and just drifting around. At the very least, you can build up a solid record in the military."
He Qingjun's eyes lit up. 'What man doesn't dream of being a soldier?'
'It's incredibly tough, but isn't that how everyone gets through it?'
There was a saying in later years: a man might regret joining the army for two years, but he'll regret not joining for a lifetime!
