1974年,18岁的何友参军入伍。3年后,他被抽调到“东方红”号海洋测量船,参加东海大陆架的测量考查。当测量船行驶到公海时,遭到美国、日本等国舰艇的抵近监视,形势一度非常严峻。最后,大家不得不用信号灯不停地与对方交流,表明我方只是一艘普通的海洋测量船,才避免了冲突。那次经历让何友深深感到自己国家装备的落后,也萌生了考大学去军校深造,通过提高自己的军政素质来为祖国国防强大做贡献的念头。 In 1974, He You, 18, joined the army. Three years later, he was transferred to the “Dongfanghong” marine survey vessel to participate in the survey of the East China Sea continental shelf. When the survey ship traveled to the open sea, it was closely monitored by the ships of the United States, Japan and other countries. The situation was once very severe. In the end, we had to constantly communicate with each other with lights to show that we were just an ordinary marine survey vessel and avoided the conflict. That experience made He You deeply feel that the backwardness of his country’s equipment also spawned the idea that university should go to military academy for further studies and make contributions to the powerful national defense of our motherland by improving the quality of his military and government.
