Marching is a familiar training regimen for soldiers in the Vietnam People's Army. However, hidden behind this ordinary routine are interesting and meaningful emotions for young soldiers. The marching time flies by quickly; everyone returns to their unit drenched in sweat, but the emotions experienced throughout the journey will remain etched in the hearts of each young soldier. These include feelings of camaraderie, solidarity, mutual support, nostalgia for their homeland, the close bond between soldiers and civilians, and pride in being a soldier in the Vietnam People's Army… Therefore, marching is not just about physical training, endurance, and resilience; it also contributes to cultivating positive, natural, and pure feelings in soldiers as they learn and train in the military environment.
