every september, a group of mysterious "recruits" emerge in major universities.

they wore camouflage uniforms, stood in military posture under the scorching sun, their tender faces covered with sweat, and completed an activity called military training within half a month.

sore limbs, tanned faces, and calloused soles of feet constitute many people’s painful memories of military training.

but this "grand occasion" of military training in guangxi seems not worth mentioning.

at this time of year every year, terms related to guangxi’s military training dominate the top of major hot search lists.

military training in guangxi has always been aligned with real military training, as if it really wanted to achieve"give me 14 days and i'll give you a soldier."

one cannot help but sigh that the definitions of military training in different provinces are indeed very different.

while other provinces were still practicing turning left and right over and over again, guangxi’s military training skipped this stage early and allowed students to practice hard-core skills.

it is standard for students participating in military training to have a gun each, and skills such as shooting and splitting guns are compulsory courses.

the heavy firepower weapons that everyone has only seen in movies turned the playground into a "battlefield".

rocket launchers and mortars were fired on the spot, igniting everyone's passion and fighting spirit.

it doesn't seem surprising that armored vehicles and tanks drove into the campus to carry out "infantry-tank coordination".

before coming to guangxi, no one would have thought that students who were still writing furiously in the college entrance examination hall a few months ago would now be able to experience the "first-hand perspective of war."

some schools directly brought out drones to simulate air strikes.

the instructors not only create experiences for the freshmen that are difficult for students from other provinces to obtain, but they also truly hope that the freshmen can put what they have learned into practice.

when the freshmen have mastered enough skills, real-life cs games will be staged on campus, with students divided into camps and competing against each other on the playground.

when the two sides "went to war", the fully armed "soldiers" carried out tactical maneuvers, and the playground was shrouded in thick "gun smoke".

some netizens posted the military training schedule of guangxi university of chinese medicine, which includes not only light weapons shooting, basic combat and other contents that everyone can imagine, but also hard-core courses such as nuclear, biological and chemical protection, battlefield medical rescue, and map use training.

not only do they use real weapons during training, but in order to strengthen the students' will, the instructors in guangxi military training never pamper the students.

the heavy rain did not hinder the training progress, and they could even make a long-distance march in the heavy rain.

crawling in the mud is also a compulsory task for the "new recruits".

the instructors will also let the students hold guns and go through fire circles and "cross the line of fire" to train their courage to face danger.

the scenes of rigorously training new recruits in military dramas can also be replicated during military training in guangxi.

at four o'clock in the morning, when most people were still in sweet dreams, a university in guangxi had gathered 10,000 students for a 10-kilometer march.

a netizen from guangxi recalled his military training time, where the instructors would take students directly into the barracks.

once you live in the military camp, you become a soldier. there will be three or four emergency assemblies a night. no matter if you are taking a shower, eating or going to the toilet, when the emergency assembly whistle sounds, you must immediately put down what you are doing and appear at the assembly site.

every student who participates in military training will have some wildness stimulated in their body after going through these exercises.

guangxi seems to really want to achieve "everyone is a soldier".

the "wildness" of the people of guangxi would not be limited to the short half-month military training.

in addition to the unique wildness of military training that requires physical and mental training,the various sports in guangxi are also very passionate, and they are eye-opening for outsiders.

the high-pole hydrangea sport can be called the guangxi version of quidditch. a pole several stories high is erected, and the contestants need to make the hydrangea accurately pass through the ring on the pole.

in the harry potter film series, wizards need to ride brooms to score goals, but people from guangxi can score with just their hands without any auxiliary equipment.

no matter how high the pole is or how small the hole is, it is no problem for them.

this national sports event is included in the nanning high school entrance examination, and students are considered to pass only if they can perform 13 of them within two minutes.

if this sport is the guangxi version of quidditch,then guangxi's firecracker grabbing can be called oriental rugby.

as the fireworks shot up into the sky and then fell down, heroes from all walks of life began a fierce competition.

although the weather was 6 degrees celsius, people in guangxi were not afraid of the cold and performed a "tiger descending from the mountain" act in order to grab fireworks.

in the sport of bamboo rafting, the contestants stand on a bamboo pole and paddle forward at high speed as if they were walking on flat ground.

this national sport, known as "water ballet", is full of thrills and excitement, and contestants may fall into the water if they are not careful.

sneaker racing is said to be a military training method used by the zhuang hero mrs. wa. three people wearing a pair of long sneakers run forward together, which is a great test of the contestants' coordination.

if one person makes a slight mistake, it is possible that several people will fall together.

these sports are both very difficult and dangerous, making every sports meeting in guangxi like a gathering of masters.

but just like there are masters hiding among the people, the wildness of the people of guangxi is not only reflected in these sports moments.

wildness is a life attitude that permeates every aspect of their lives.

first of all, people from guangxi are wild.

people in guangxi, which is surrounded by mountains, don't like the constraints of cars and prefer the freedom and unrestrainedness that electric cars bring them.

according to the 2017 private car ownership list, guangxi's per capita private car ownership ranks last in the country. among 31 regions, guangxi ranks 29th, with less than 100 people out of 1,000 owning a private car.

but in 2019, in nanning, a city with a population of more than 7 million, the number of registered electric bicycles exceeded 3 million, almost one electric bicycle for every two people.

some people jokingly say that even if you own a lamborghini, you still have to buy an electric car.

in nanning, a "city of electric bikes", you can often see two cars about to collide, but one of them will always avoid the other with superb driving skills, performing a "fast and furious" show.

nanning not only built dedicated lanes for electric vehicles, but also dedicated overpasses for electric vehicles.

the wildness of guangxi people is not only reflected in the mounts under their crotch, but also entangled between their lips and teeth.

guangxi people always have a unique understanding of the range of food ingredients and cooking methods.

cut various fresh fruits into pieces, sprinkle with pepper salt and chili powder, and they will become guangxi's "spicy fruit salad".

this type of product with seasonings sprinkled on fruits is called "suan ye". in addition to chili powder and pepper salt, guangxi people also sprinkle coriander, licorice, pickled peppers, chopped peppers and other unexpected things on fruits.

one look at it will make outsiders start to doubt their life experiences of the past few decades.

but fruit is just an appetizer; guangxi people's wine jars contain something even more jaw-dropping.

the most common thing is snake wine. from small harmless snakes to highly poisonous king cobras and five-step snakes, all are put into wine jars by the people of guangxi.

there are also geckos (a kind of gecko), ants, centipedes and other things that ordinary people avoid, but in guangxi they are all excellent ingredients for soaking wine.

the most eye-opening one is the hornet's nest wine.

to make hornet's nest wine in guangxi, you need to find a hornet's nest where the hornets are still active, use a bag made of thin iron wire to separate the hornet's nest and the hornets, and then soak them in wine separately.

if you are not careful during the process, you may be attacked by a swarm of hornets and have your head stung by lumps, but this still cannot stop the people of guangxi.

the barbecue stalls of guangxi people include everything.

pig eyes, chicken buttocks, pig penis, field mice, crocodiles, sandworms…anything that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, swims in the sea, as long as it has once moved, may be added to the guangxi diet.

the wildness of guangxi people is hidden in every corner of their daily life.

the reason why guangxi people are so wild is that there is thousands of years of historical and cultural heritage behind them.

thousands of years ago, guangxi was part of the "land of the baiyue", and emperors of successive dynasties often exiled demoted officials here.

the people of guangxi have faced a harsh living environment for generations. the place was once filled with mountain mist and miasma, and there were endless vicious insects and ferocious beasts. in order to overcome the harsh natural environment, the people of guangxi had to cultivate their wildness.

this wildness enables the people of guangxi to always demonstrate great cohesion when facing foreign enemies.

during the qin dynasty, qin attacked baiyue. the local indigenous people of guangxi worked together to fight against qin, causing the qin army to be defeated repeatedly, and even "hundreds of thousands of corpses and blood were shed." this battle is also known as the most difficult and fierce battle in the qin dynasty's war of unification.

although the qin dynasty finally completed the unification, the local people's spirit of unity and resistance remained.

in the middle of the ming dynasty, tusi, who served as local officials, formed their own armed forces, called "lu bing" and "wolf division". they were called "wolf soldiers" because they were brave and good at fighting.

during the ming dynasty, japanese pirates often invaded my country's southeastern coast. the female hero, mrs. wa, led her "wolf soldiers" on an expedition to the southeastern coast to participate in the war to eliminate the japanese pirates.

mrs. wa and her wolf soldiers won victory after victory. in one battle, they annihilated more than 4,000 japanese pirates, which was the biggest victory in the anti-japanese war.

the people of zhejiang called her general shizhu, which means the backbone in the fight against japanese pirates.

zheng ruozeng, a coastal defense military expert in the ming dynasty, wrote in his book "chou hai tu bian": "the wolf soldiers of guangxi are the most fierce in the country today. they can defeat the majority with a small number, and win nine out of ten battles!"

during the war of resistance against japanese aggression, the guangxi wolf soldiers became the nightmare of the japanese invaders with their extremely strong bloodiness.

once a german reporter saw a guangxi soldier wearing straw sandals and shorts and asked: "what will you do in winter?"

the guangxi soldier simply said, "i don't plan to live until the cold weather comes."

in the battle of guilin, guangxi soldiers with only 20,000 men resisted 150,000 japanese troops and fought bloody battles with the japanese for 12 days and nights, refusing to retreat but willing to die.

especially the guangxi militia. according to a japanese division commander in his later memoirs, "our division encountered a stubborn resistance from the local indigenous armed forces in guangxi in guilin. although these indigenous armed forces were poorly equipped, they were extremely fierce and determined to fight to the death. their bravery was far inferior to that of our army, and our army's morale was extremely low..."

the wildness passed down from generation to generation by the people of guangxi is not only a tradition created by history and culture, but guangxi's unique geographical location also requires the people of guangxi to maintain their wildness.

guangxi has three cities and eight counties bordering vietnam, and the entire border line is 1,020 kilometers long.

along this long border, guangxi often faces provocations and harassment from vietnam, so it must be on guard at all times.

during the self-defense counterattack against vietnam, the guangxi border defense forces were the backbone of the counterattack against vietnam.

in order to safeguard peace, the people of guangxi shed a lot of blood. martyrs' cemeteries have been built in jingxi county, ningming county, napo county, pingxiang city and other places in guangxi to bury the martyrs who died in the war against vietnam.

although we are living in a peaceful era, we still need to be vigilant. a strong country can defend itself against enemies, and a country that is always prepared can avoid danger.

the people of guangxi are very strict during military training, which may be a way to accumulate strength, hone combat skills and cultivate the people's bloodiness in peacetime.

guangxi has taken on the heavy responsibility of guarding china's southern gate. after all, the capital of guangxi is called nanning.

these two words are both responsibility and goal.

for these two words that weigh more than a thousand pounds, what's wrong with guangxi people being a little wild?

the reason why we can live a peaceful life may be because someone is carrying the burden for us.
