Once upon a time, in ancient China, there was a young soldier. He was small and thin and had just joined the army not long ago. Every time he heard the bugle call for training, his heart was filled with fear. He was afraid of those large weapons, the arduous training, and even more afraid of actually going to the battlefield. However, he knew that he couldn't be afraid all the time. He wanted to become a truly brave soldier.
On this day, the training started again. The young soldier stood on the training ground, looking at those long spears taller than him and the heavy shields. His legs began to tremble. The comrades beside him had already quickly picked up their weapons and started training, but he was at a loss in place. His squad leader saw his hesitation, walked over and gently patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Young soldier, don't be afraid. Every great warrior has grown from where you are now." After hearing the squad leader's words, the young soldier had a bit of courage in his heart. He slowly reached out his hand and grasped the cold long spear.
The young soldier began to train hard. At first, he could never master the use of the long spear well. Either he thrust it askew or was unbalanced by the weight of the long spear. But he didn't give up. He practiced again and again. His sweat soaked his clothes and ran down his cheeks, and blisters also appeared on his hands. However, seeing that his comrades around him were all working so hard, he told himself that he must persevere. With his unremitting efforts, he gradually mastered some skills and could use the long spear more skillfully.
Soon, the army carried out a mock battlefield drill. This was a huge challenge for the young soldier. The battlefield was full of smoke, obstacles, and comrades acting as enemies. As soon as the young soldier entered the mock battlefield, that familiar fear welled up in his heart again. His heart beat very fast and his hands trembled slightly. But he remembered his efforts during this period and the encouragement from his squad leader. He took a deep breath and clenched the long spear in his hand. He moved carefully on the battlefield, avoiding the enemy's attacks while looking for opportunities to fight back.
When an "enemy" suddenly appeared in front of him, the young soldier didn't flinch. He shouted loudly and raised his long spear to thrust forward. The "enemy" was startled by his momentum and hurriedly dodged. The young soldier pursued his victory and, using the skills he had learned, successfully defeated this "enemy". This small victory filled the young soldier with confidence, and he continued to fight bravely on the mock battlefield.
After the mock battlefield drill ended, the young soldier was awarded a medal for his brave performance. He stood on the podium with a proud smile on his face. He was no longer that timid and fearful young soldier. He had overcome his fear and grown into a brave soldier. He knew that in the days to come, no matter what difficulties he encountered, he would have the courage to face them.
