Chinese students receive military training

Editor's note: In the beginning of July, the Communication University of China sent their sophomores to a training base in Shunyi District in Beijing for military training. There, students were drilled physically, technically and psychologically.

Military education is a compulsory duty for Chinese university students. It is considered an opportunity for the students to discipline their will, toughen their bodies, as well as learn some basic military information.

Military training is a common experience for nearly every Chinese college student. Although very short, the distinctive army life leaves them with long-lasting memories. [Photo/Youth.cn]
