The next day was Chinese New Year.
As usual, Ning Yibin could not spend the day at home as it was customary for him to visit the PLA soldiers who could not return home for the New Year.
He sat with them, addressed the living conditions of the new soldiers, engaged in celebratory activities, and conveyed the warmth and care of the military to them, providing a sense of familial warmth.
After the morning's visits and comfort, he directly went to find Zhang Jianguo.
Qin Jian's entire infantry regiment had gone to participate in earthquake relief; all were persisting in the frontline, striving to rebuild a home in the shortest time possible.
This Chinese New Year, the municipal government leaders had also paid a visit, and as a military leader, Ning Yibin had to go.
