Summary

Machine summary

Li Can, a Central Theater Command Joint Staff Department staff officer honored as a 'Most Beautiful Revolutionary Soldier of the New Era,' returned to the Army Arms University to address cadets at an exchange event themed around forging warfighting capabilities, drawing on his career arc from grassroots troop command through theater-level joint operations staff work. This is standard political-work content — a role-model lecture designed to shape cadet values during the 三观 formation period the article explicitly names — and its value is as a record of how the PLA frames individual perseverance and joint-operations literacy (懂联合、懂体系、懂全域) as the institutional virtues it wants to instill before officers reach their first posting, not as evidence of a new policy line or capability development.

“最美新时代革命军人”李灿激励母校年轻学员—— “像毛竹一样向下扎根” ■解放军报记者金美姊仲秋时节，陆军兵种大学文体中心报告厅内气氛热烈，一场以“珍惜机遇、珍爱岗位、珍重青春，以奋发有为精神状态锤炼胜战打赢本领”为主题的交流对话活动火热进行。“最美新时代革命军人”、中部战区联合参谋部某局参谋李灿回到母校，与年轻学员面对面交流，结合自身经历谈成长、话使命，激励学弟学妹珍惜军校时光、打牢能力根基。 “成长没有捷径，成功没有坦途。很多能力不是走上岗位才临时练就的，而是在军校时期用自己的努力埋下种子。”17年前，李灿从这所军校毕业，奔赴基层带兵一线。军校期间埋下的种子，伴随他在机关参谋、科室领导、战区联合作战参谋等岗位上生根发芽、开花结果。作为预备队员参赛逆袭，荣获全军参谋业务比武单项冠军；重大攻坚任务决胜冲刺阶段推迟韧带手术，带伤上岗取得优异成绩……李灿向战冲锋、笃行攻坚的成长故事，让现场学员深受触动。 “毛竹种下去的头几年，地面几乎看不到变化。旁人以为它没长，其实它一直在做一件事——向下扎根。等到根基扎稳，一场春雨过后，它就能在短短几周内拔地而起。希望大家抓住在校学习的宝贵时间，像毛竹一样向下扎根。”李灿的深情讲述，让学员们听得频频点头。学员胡敏钢表示，学长关于毛竹的比喻，让他更加懂得厚积薄发的道理，坚定了沉下心来打牢根基、积蓄力量有所作为的信心决心。现场交流结束后，不少学员把李灿围在中间，学员王静莹结合学院不久前举办的《〈孙子兵法〉之战争制胜思维》讲座内容和现代战争案例，围绕联合作战的相关话题向李灿请教。李灿告诉大家，联合作战不是军种的简单相加，而是把各军兵种、各专业领域力量攥成一个拳头，围绕同一战役目的高效运转。要努力重塑认知、迭代思维，从“盯着地面、关注局部”向“懂联合、懂体系、懂全域”转型升级。座谈交流活动中，李灿入学后的第一任学员队队长魏晓明说，当年李灿入学后的第一堂教育课主题是“今天我以母校为荣，明天母校以我为荣”。今天，李灿用实际行动兑现了承诺。 “榜样就在身边，模范就在眼前。”该校一位领导告诉记者，本科阶段是学员三观培塑、成长成才的关键期，李灿的成长经历可感可学、可信可及，为其他学员成长进步立起了标杆和榜样，有利于引导大家把心思精力聚焦到学习训练上，走好军旅生涯每一步。
