Counter-terrorism drill!” These words are from the report of People’s Daily Weibo to the Year 2018 military training performance of our university. As long as the video twittered online, it in no time went viral and received over 20 million clicks and comments. 

It is said that this piece of video is taken and uploaded by the student journalist of NWAFU Publicity Department, which soon was released by People’s Daily Weibo. The drill is one of sessions of Y2018 military training performance of our university, and a product of brainstorm of the drillmasters, teachers and students. The plot was a real hit too, telling a story of hijacked NWAFU professor in Africa rescued by the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. Over 100 Y2018 freshman participated in the exciting event.
