八一建军节感言
Comments on the Army Day (August 1)
人当了一回兵，就像土烧成了陶，永远不会回到那土的状态。
Once a man becomes a soldier, just as clay burns into pottery,he will never return to the state of the clay.
既便后来破成了碎片，但永远区别于土，每一个颗粒依然坚硬，依然散发着特殊的光彩。
Even if it later breaks into fragments, it is always different from clay . Each particle is still hard, still emitting a special glory.
而土，就算是捏成了形，涂上了炫丽的色彩，一旦受压，又回归松散，其间的差距，就是一场火的历炼。
And clay , even if it is pinched into shape, painted with dazzling colors, once pressed, it will return to loose, and the gap between them is a fire experience.
庆祝“八一”建军节。
Celebrate the Army Day (August 1st).
这段话太棒了，送给当过兵的人。
That's a great quote for all former soldiers
