中國每年都有超過1000萬的學生進入高校，為期半個月的軍訓，是大一新生必須參加的第一課。從軍姿、行進、宣誓，到救護、格鬥、射擊，從軍事技能訓練到愛國主義教育。學生們帶著青春的狂熱與激情，在國家的領導下，學習如何成為一名戰鬥勇士，他們成年後的第一場政治洗禮也由此展開。

Each year, over 10 million students enter Chinese universities. Their first lesson is two weeks of mandatory military training—drills, marching, oaths, first aid, combat, shooting, and patriotic education. With youthful zeal, under state command, they begin learning to become warriors—marking their first political baptism into adulthood.
