Brand new female soldier groups scheduled to participate in the military parade

After cutting their long, black hair and wearing military caps, uniforms and riding boots, a group of girls who prefer military uniforms to casual clothes receives training at the Shahe Parade Village. This year's female soldier group includes members from the army, navy and air forces, a new phenomenon in China's military parade history.

It is said that the relevant appearance requirements for the female soldiers participating in this year's National Day parade have changed from just "brave" to "brave, beautiful and elegant." "It is not only a change in wording, but also a change in military parade philosophy. It embodies a people-centered philosophy," a group leader commented.

Reporters found that the female soldiers on the training ground are as good as the male soldiers in doing leg lifts and other movements. During the breaks, all of the girls get together, laughing and talking. Some of them even sing songs, which wins applause from the others. Though they like many pop songs including "The Expression in your Eyes," "My Sister's in the Army," "My Youth is Just Like a Song," "For That Day" and "We Experienced it Together," their favorite song is "Glorious Female Soldiers."

It is said that the female soldier group includes some psychological experts for the first time. So far, two psychological experts have created over 500 psychological files, provided more than 100 group counseling sessions and more than 1,400 individual counseling sessions, trained more than 120 people, and conducted more than 3,000 psychological tests. Every member of the female soldier group is beautiful and attractive. The group leader Chang Donghua said: "we consider sun cream and other skin care products necessities."

The honors that the group has won

The female soldier group has been set up by the Fourth Military Medical University and the Bethune Military Medical College. The Bethune Military Medical College was established during the Anti-Japanese War period and has a long history and a glorious tradition. It is the first medical college set up by the CPC and the great internationalist Bethune participated in the establishment of it. The college was responsible for forming a female soldier group in 1984 and 1999. Ninety percent of the cadres for this year's female soldier group experienced the 1999 National Day military parade, combat against the SARS outbreak and the relief efforts for the Sichuan earthquake, and all of the squadron leaders took part in the 1999 military parade.
