A peek into spec ops team of PLA Navy

'To be the best'

"Serving as a soldier was my dream when I was a child. At that time, the whole family opposed it. I made this choice alone," said Zhao Genxiong, the veteran leader of the army for 12 years. In his eyes, to be a qualified member of the Jiaolong Commando team, a person must have courage and responsibility, be smart, brave and daring.

In a convoy mission, the team was confronted with enemies on all sides, and had a moment where they had a brush with death. "At that time, I knew I could not retreat. At a frontline posting, I was ready for sacrifice," Zhao recalled.
