这次活动,允许官兵“不参加” ■空军某旅干部 刘耀洲 最近,旅里组织开展野外驻训,为更好地完成相关任务,上级要求组建驻训任务分队,并任命我临时担任分队指导员。 考虑到分队官兵由各单位抽调而来,我有点担心大家的凝聚力不够、士气不足。所以,在首次执行任务之前,我组织了一次“写下你的愿望”活动,为每名官兵发放“愿望纸”和“许愿瓶”,鼓励大家说出心愿、制订目标。 按理说,既然开展这项活动,就应该大力动员官兵积极参与、倾吐心声。可看着有些战士攥着笔挠头的样子,我突发奇想补充了一句:“这项活动是为了给大家加油鼓劲,没有想法的话可以不写,不想被别人知道目标的同志也可以珍藏心底,瓶子自己收好就行。”随后,我便离开俱乐部帐篷,给大家留出空间。 没过一会,列兵李文博捧着瓶子找了过来,有些不好意思地向我确认:“指导员,真的可以不写吗?我怕自己立下目标却完成不了……”“那就不写,没关系!”得到肯定答复,李文博明显松了口气。那天晚上直到熄灯,他都在维护保养自己负责的车辆,将车擦得锃亮。 任务结束后,我们回到营地,战士们都很疲惫,有的回帐篷休息,有的和班里其他战友复盘总结经验。上等兵赵磊实现了自己的愿望:用电话和家人报了个平安。 晚饭后,我让大家打开“许愿瓶”,看看愿望实现与否。赵磊打开瓶子后,红着脸把纸条塞进裤子口袋。之前写下心愿时,他没有“公之于众”。原来,他的愿望是“给家里打个电话”——这次任务要求严格、环境艰苦,任务期间官兵无法和家人联系。 “别人都是写要立功、要完成任务,我觉得自己的愿望太小家子气了……”此时,告诉我缘由的赵磊有些不好意思。我拍了拍他的肩膀说:“这是你的心愿,不用和别人比。恭喜你,心愿达成。” 随后,我还组织了一次匿名问卷调查,了解大家对于这次活动的看法,超过半数的官兵为这次活动点赞。回收的问卷上,有一条留言让我印象十分深刻:活动很有趣,更有趣的是允许我们“不参加”。 前两天,李文博走进俱乐部帐篷,将自己的“许愿瓶”与其他战友的放在了一起,他说:“下次,我也想把目标写下来。”没有人要求他这样做,是他自己渐渐改变了想法。 产生变化的不仅是李文博,分队的氛围也悄然改变。此前开展各项工作任务,有困难大家往往不愿当面说,但私下难免有抱怨。而现在,大家更乐于把问题摆在明面上,因为说出问题不会被批评,而且能得到帮助。我想,这就是集体的力量,它不仅体现在所有人喊响同一个口号,更在于每个人都在用自己的方式发力,朝着同一个方向前行。 (张子璇整理)

Summary

Machine summary

A political instructor in an unnamed PLA Air Force brigade, writing under his own name (Liu Yaozhou), describes adapting a morale-building activity during field garrison training by explicitly permitting soldiers to opt out, finding that voluntary participation produced more genuine cohesion than mandatory engagement. The article documents a persistent grassroots problem in PLA political work: coercive participation norms suppress honest communication and drive complaints underground rather than surfacing them, and junior soldiers fear accountability for unmet goals. This fits a recognizable pattern in PLA political officer writing where individual cadres claim incremental, unit-level workarounds to institutional pressure for performative compliance—useful as a baseline record of how the Air Force's political work apparatus frames the tension between mandatory collective activities and authentic soldier buy-in, but not evidence of a doctrinal shift in how political work is conducted.
