…………………………………………
My surname is Liu, his surname is Niu, Mr. Niu is a soldier, I am a student.
We met on September 1, 2014, when we were 12 years old and became classmates.
Although the intersection of the two is mostly in class and occasionally after class. But those three years also allowed us to accumulate deep friendships.

Luckily, we met again in the same classroom in high school. That good coincidence is the real beginning of our story.
High school graduation photos
It is said that graduation season is the season of breakup, but we are just the opposite, when we graduated in 2020, we bravely said our thoughts to each other and became lovers. I chose the local Shanxi Normal University, Mr. Niu chose Changchun University in Jilin Province, and we began a long-distance relationship.
On the New Year's Day of 2021, after we had a movie, Mr. Niu told me that he wanted to become a soldier, and remembered that the movie was "Hello Li Huanying", which was originally a comedy, but the full happiness suddenly dissipated, and a lot of words I wanted to say were momentarily forgotten, my mind was blank, and I chose silence.
That was the beginning of our 7th year of acquaintance.
I lost sleep that night, thinking about the hardships of this half year of long-distance love, and then not to mention the long-distance military love, the difficulties in this are really unimaginable, I hope that since Mr. Niu has this idea, I should not stop it, I respect his idea, because I believe that our love is not cut off by distance.
He gave me a promise before he left that we would get married when he came back.
He became a soldier in Tibet, and I signed up as a teaching assistant to become a teacher.
I sent Mr. Niu to check in, and it was the last time we would see each other so far.
At the beginning, I didn't think about the future, because of the pain of military love, only after experiencing it did I know.
Mr. Niu had just joined the army and I sent him broken thoughts
Once, Mr. Niu said to me: "After a while, I will disappear for a while, there is no signal there, you can't contact me for the time being, don't ask me where I'm going, but you must take care of yourself."
Since then, there has been no news of Mr. Niu for nearly 3 months, and I am very worried and tormented, worried about whether he will have an accident, worried about whether he will eat enough and sleep warmly? Although I can't get a reply from Mr. Niu, I will message him every day, tell him what happens every day, and tell him that I miss him today.
After a long time, finally, I received a video call from Mr. Niu, saw his dark face, and at that moment, I cried because I missed it, but also because I was distressed.
Mr. Niu and I are in the same state as 8 a.m.: "Good morning," after 12 noon: "Honey, I'm just busy," and after 10 p.m.: "Honey, you go to bed first, and you have to work overtime tonight."
When he is not at home, I will accompany the parents of both sides to go shopping, and I will also prepare the "hometown flavor" of my hometown with my family to send to Tibet, so that Mr. Niu and his comrades-in-arms in the unit can also feel the taste of hometown. But because the road is far away, it takes more than a week to mail, and some things are broken...
3000 kilometers away, the mountains are far away, but there is always someone who comes for you.
Behind the heartache is love, survive the time is forever, since you are allowed to live a lifetime, then love you for a lifetime, may Mr. Niu not live up to the motherland, not to live up to the Qing!
