Olive Green and Iron Blue

The interweaving of olive green and iron blue paint a picture of childhood memories in my mind. My admiration for my father is like two colors intertwined, intertwined and never separated.
When I was a child, my father was the greatest existence in my heart, an omnipotent hero. His father was a railway soldier. He wore olive green and traveled all over the country. He took off his military uniform and shouldered the glorious mission of Tie Jianlan. He traveled to the motherland all the year round. His pace is always on the road, the extended track is his journey, and the unknown distance is his dream. I always feel that my father is far away. There are only a few short gatherings in a year. When the New Year bell rings, the whole family will look forward to his return in anticipation.
Time is like a dream, I grow up gradually. His father's work still hasn't changed. He is still so busy, still wearing a powerful uniform, walking on the railway. In the dust and smoke, he is like a warrior, fearless of hardship and hardship. His father's hands are rough and powerful, which is the sign of his labor and his love and dedication to work.
On my way to pursue my dream, my father's words of encouragement often linger in my ears. I study hard and work hard to become a useful person. Since then, my father's distance is no longer just a vague image in my childhood memory. I chose to follow his steps and embark on the road to the distance. I am eager to see the scenery my father has seen and experience the storms he has experienced. When I stepped on the train, the scenery outside the window flashed like a movie, and my heart also drifted with it.
Poetry and the distance, behind always wind and rain. Standing on the construction site of Shanghai Pudong Airport, I felt the truth and cruelty of life in the boundless emptiness. The roar of the machine and the smell of cement made me feel the tiredness and loneliness my father had experienced. At the same time, I also saw my father's tenacity and perseverance. He never gave up working in such a difficult environment.
When the night comes, I always take out a letter from my father from home. The familiar handwriting is as warm and powerful as his voice, which makes me feel the warmth of home and the strength of struggle.
My father told me: "We railway construction people are an iron army that is fearless of difficulties and forge ahead bravely. We carry the spirit of craftsmanship of a great country and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the construction of the motherland. We should go all out to do every project, not afraid of difficulties, and achieve perfection, which is the soul and pride of China Railway Construction." His words are full of determination and pride. At that moment, I understood his responsibility and mission, and his words have always accompanied me on the road of work.
Several years later, my father retired and returned home. I left my young children with my parents. With my father's teachings and expectations, I put Tie Jianlan on my body, integrated his wisdom and courage into my work, inherited the iron army spirit of my father's generation, and became the person who went to the distant place. Every step is solid and powerful, because I understand that every detail is related to the success or failure of the whole project. I always adhere to my love and dedication to work, constantly strive to improve my ability and quality, contribute to my own cause and the development of the country, realize my own values, and pursue my dreams.
My father shouldered the burden of life for me in the rear. In order to make me feel secure working outside, he and my mother supported me to move forward with love and tolerance. But I can't always stay by their side. I feel deeply indebted to my parents because I am grateful to them. In our ordinary iron construction family, our mother nourished our lives with simple food, while our father set up dreams and benchmarks for us with perseverance and perseverance. He is a mountain, solid and powerful, and sows the seeds of dreams for us with his own experience and wisdom.
Now the Xiaoqing River Resumption Project has come to a successful conclusion. I have come to the super project Shiziyang Channel T2 Contract Section Project. When the moon rises, my homesickness comes to my heart. My father's firm words still reverberated in my ears: "The motherland entrusted us with the responsibility and responsibility, and overcame all difficulties to do a good job. This is the soul of China Railway Construction." These words were like a bright light, guiding the direction of my struggle in a foreign country. The color of olive green and iron construction blue will always shine on my way forward and protect me from going far away!
