The spirit of the hero is immortal. On the occasion of the 72nd anniversary of the people's Republic of China, the eighth martyr's day will also come. Remembering the heroes in the name of the country is not only a profound tribute to the heroes who sacrificed for national independence, national prosperity and strength and people's happiness since modern times, but also a guardian and continuation of the root of the Chinese national spirit. Only by inheriting the heroic spirit can we stand up the backbone of the Chinese nation; Only by bearing in mind the martyrs' will can we embrace a better future. The ceremony of presenting flower baskets to people's Heroes on the martyrs' Memorial Day was grandly held in Tiananmen Square in Beijing (photographed on September 30, 2020). Photo by Yue Yuewei, reporter of Xinhua News Agency Today, we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history. On the new journey, the magnificent poems written by heroes with their lives illuminate the way forward for future generations like a bright lamp. Remember, the more brilliant memory precipitated by time Holding the portrait of her father, Qin houmei burst into tears. This is the first time she has seen her father Qin Zhongfu in more than 70 years. Qin Zhongfu was a volunteer soldier who died in the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea in 1951. Qin Zhongfu's mother didn't want to believe the fact that her child died. She nicknamed Qin houmei who was not born at that time "waiting for Ni'er", hoping that she could wait for her father to come back. This cross time and space "gathering" originated from an activity called "heroic faces - portraits of revolutionary martyrs" jointly launched by the Department of Veterans Affairs of Shandong Province and other units. By simulating the strokes of portrait experts, the faces of 100 martyrs were reproduced in this special way. Each painting depicts the face of the martyr and pursues the memory of the martyr: the thrilling story, the firm and majestic posture, and the spirit penetrating time and space, never dare to forget! How can I forget? That "if you want to benefit the life and death of the country, do you avoid it because of misfortunes and blessings"—— "Cloud! Who has no parents, no children, no lovers, we sacrificed everything for the sake of rescuing the parents, wives and children of the whole Chinese people." in October 1928, a few days after writing a final letter to Zhao Yunxiao, his wife who is six years old but is also in prison, Chen Jue sang the prison song and died bravely. More than five months later, Zhao Yunxiao endured grief and followed her husband's footsteps after feeding the baby's last meal. Make up photo: the picture above shows Chen Jue; The following figure shows the suicide note written by martyr Chen Jue to his wife Zhao Yunxiao on display in Changsha Martyrs Park, Hunan Province (photographed on May 7, 2018). Xinhua News Agency There are also tender hearted love and feelings that are difficult to give up, but the young revolutionary couple did not hesitate to give their lives for the sake of their faith. The volunteers who participated in the Changjin Lake campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea always kept their war preparation posture in the extremely cold environment until they became ice sculptures; Chen Hongjun, the "hero of defending the country and guarding the border", fought tenaciously and charged ahead, and fulfilled his promise of "I am at the border, please rest assured of the motherland" with his life Whenever and wherever, whenever the motherland and the people need, there are always heroic figures who stand up and interpret the infinite loyalty of Xu party and Xu country with a heart. How can I forget? The infatuation of "after picking a hundred flowers into honey, who works hard and who is sweet" has no regrets—— In the last month of his life, even if he became a patient from the president, Liu Zhiming, President of Wuhan Wuchang hospital, never gave up his work. He kept answering and making calls and replying to wechat in his hospital bed. "He's always so busy that he doesn't have time to care about his body." Wang Pei, director of gastroenterology department of Wuchang hospital, remembers that since the outbreak of the epidemic, Liu Zhiming's schedule has always been full: transforming the outpatient department within 2 hours and completing the transfer of patients with other diseases in the hospital within 3 days... He seems tireless until his life comes to an abrupt end. "Seeking happiness for the majority of people" is the value pursuit of revolutionary ancestor Li Dazhao; "Work hard to change the face of Lankao", which is the struggle declaration of Jiao Yulu, the people's public servant; "Go ahead when you see the danger and let it go when you see the benefits", which is the practical pride of anti drug hero Wu Guanglin. It is their most simple wish that the heroes stick to the trivial, forget themselves before the choice of life and death, and return to silence just because they let the people get happiness. How can I forget? That "a cavity of warm blood, hard to cherish, sprinkle can still turn the green waves" is brave and fearless—— "Did you catch it..." this is the last sentence Zhang Yeliang left to his colleagues. Facing the gangsters who waved sharp knives to resist arrest, he pursued them despite serious injuries, and his blood stained 65 steps on the stairs. It was the last move of fire fighter Yang kezhang to hold the unknown girl in his arms. In the raging fire and smoke, he took flesh and blood as the child in his arms to ward off the threat of death. …… "Chinese people are always well protected by the bravest of them." this sentence has been repeatedly mentioned on the Internet in recent years. However, superheroes who have never had steel muscles and iron bones have infinite courage only because they are willing to bear responsibility. The loyal soul will live forever! In the wutiaoling martyrs cemetery in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, more than 2000 revolutionary martyrs are sleeping. Pulling grass and adding soil... Villager Bian Kangquan, his father Bian Hua and grandfather Bian Derong have been here for more than 70 years.

Photographed by reporter Ji Chunpeng of Xinhua News Agency "The flames of war have long dissipated, but the memory will not be diluted." Bian Kangquan said, "it is the sacrifice and dedication of the martyrs that we have today's good day. I am willing to protect these names that should not be forgotten with my ordinary life." Reverence, the heroic spirit surging between heaven and earth On September 2, the sky was high and the clouds were light in Shenyang in autumn. At 11:26, a Chinese air force yun-20 transport plane taking off from Incheon International Airport in South Korea landed steadily on the apron of Shenyang Taoxian International Airport. The plane was carrying the remains of 109 Chinese people's volunteer martyrs in South Korea. On September 2, the remains of the volunteer martyrs arrived at the cemetery of the martyrs in Shenyang to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Yao Jianfeng This is the eighth consecutive year since 2014 that China has welcomed back the remains of volunteers in Korea. Over the past eight years, a total of 825 martyrs have returned home. The heroic spirit of heaven and earth is still awe inspiring for thousands of years! Every heroic soul contains the common family and country memory and precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation. In recent years, from the continuous strengthening of the construction and maintenance of martyr memorial facilities, to the increasingly perfect laws and regulations for the protection of heroes and martyrs, to the continuous improvement of the pension standards for martyrs' families, respecting and defending heroes and martyrs has gradually become a social consensus. The heroic spirit is integrating into the national blood and glowing with new brilliance. "In those days, they sacrificed for us; now, please do something for them." In April 2021, the Department of Veterans Affairs launched the "martyr's family search government public service platform" and launched the "martyr's family search" activity, which attracted extensive attention from netizens. Like, comment, forward... Once the information of the first 100 long-term martyrs without relatives was released, it quickly spread on the network platform, and people actively participated in expressing deep respect for the martyrs. At present, with the joint efforts of the whole society, the relatives of 65 martyrs have been successfully found. Some of these relatives knew about the martyrs' sacrifice but didn't know the details. Some had searched for the martyrs' burial place but failed. Some had been swept up decades ago but lost contact for various reasons "Looking for relatives for martyrs is the best respect for heroes and martyrs, and it is also a vivid red education," said a military history expert. Martyr memorial facilities are an important support for remembering the martyrs and carrying out their study and education. Near the martyr's memorial day, an endless stream of people came to visit the martyr Zhao Shangzhi cemetery in Shangzhi Township, Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. This is the Zhao Shangzhi Memorial Hall in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province (photographed on September 18). Xinhua News Agency Under the sunshine, the nine characters "martyr Zhao Shangzhi is immortal" on the monument are shining, which is more solemn and solemn. "Eating grass roots and bark and sleeping in the ice and snow, the revolutionary ancestors worked hard under such difficult conditions in exchange for our happy life today." Gao Ruize, a middle school student in liutiaozhai Town, Liaoyang City, who came to worship the martyrs, said that we should learn the spirit of heroes who are not afraid of difficulties and are determined to serve the country and strive for the dream of becoming a powerful country. The martyr memorial facility is the red gene bank of the Republic. In recent years, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs has guided all localities to continuously strengthen the management and protection of relevant facilities, and promoted the full coverage of memorial facilities for heroes and martyrs at and above the provincial level at the prefecture and municipal levels. At the same time, it has become a spontaneous choice for many people to visit the martyrs' cemetery at an important time node. According to incomplete statistics, during the Qingming Festival this year alone, 8.08 million people visited martyrs' cemeteries and nearly 10000 people visited martyrs' families. One cemetery after another, one monument after another, eulogizing touching heroic stories. A bunch of flowers, a memory, the heroic spirit is imperceptibly integrated into the national spirit and rooted in the hearts of the Chinese people. Inheritance, the eternal spiritual torch At the centennial of the founding of the party, there were sweepers coming and going in the Longhua martyrs' cemetery in Shanghai. On May 31, at the Shanghai Longhua martyrs memorial hall, the actors of the TV series "awakening age" shared the heroic deeds of revolutionary martyrs Chen Yannian and Chen qiaonian. Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Wang Xiang The tombs of three heroes, Chen Yannian, Chen qiaonian and Zhao Shiyan, who are well known for the TV series the awakening age, are filled with "cross time and space letters" full of deep feelings and memories. The sender's signatures are various, some are "new youth from New China", some are "new youth in the 21st century", and some are "a youth living in the beautiful era you have fought for" "I look up at the starry sky you've seen. The earth under my feet has changed time and space, and the red you left in the wind is in my heart!" filled with blazing emotion, a "Post-00" new Party member of Tongji University wrote such a sentence on a postcard. Don't forget the original can open up the future. The best way to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs is to carry forward their lofty spirit, complete their unfinished undertakings, continue to struggle and forge ahead. On the Lantern Festival in 2021, the fire rescue fund of Wenzhou Red Cross Society in Zhejiang received a donation of 13141.19 yuan. The donor's name is Luo Xiaoshuang. Her son Guan Zhiyan died on duty in a fire search and rescue in 2005 and gave his life at the age of 21. "This number has a special meaning and represents my lifelong love for fire fighting." over the past ten years, Luo Xiaoshuang has paired up with nearly 2000 commanders and fighters of Wenzhou fire fighting, sprinkled his mother's love for his son on the fire brigade, and led more people to pay attention to, understand and support the fire rescue business. During her tenure as a member of the Political Consultative Conference of Lucheng District, Wenzhou, she wrote a proposal on fire protection every year, calling on the whole society to pay attention to the fire protection work in the old urban area and ensure the smooth fire access in the community. "I hope my son can 'see', and my mother 'picks up' his uniform again and continues his unfinished career." this is Luo Xiaoshuang's simple wish. Heroes are the brightest coordinates of the nation. In the flames of the revolutionary war, in the tide of reform and development, and on the battlefield of poverty alleviation... Thousands of heroes and martyrs passed their eternal spirit to the later generations
