在离别军营之际,当扩音器里传来“向坚守在西沙的女兵致敬”时,所有的目光都齐刷刷地集聚在我身上。我忍不住回头凝视着葱绿的海岛和战友们熟悉的脸庞,肆意的泪水在脸上奔涌。在西沙永兴岛的日子,是我人生中最值得骄傲最值得炫耀的美好时光。——摘自夏姣退伍日记 When we left the barracks, all the eyes were gathered at me when the loudspeakers came to “pay tribute to the women soldiers who held their ground in the Xisha.” I could not help but look back at the familiar face of the lush green island and comrades, wanton tears flew on her face. Yongxing Island in Xisha, the most proud of my life is the best time to show off good times. - Excerpt from Xia Jiao veteran diary
