Warmth is always the most beautiful in the heart of soldiers ■ China National Defense Daily reporter Wang Jingyu Drawing: Pan Di, Hu Shuo It's very warm this winter. On the evening of December 14, Beijing was quiet at night. A 76 year old man with ups and downs of heart. Before going to bed, she would only circle "little red heart" among wechat friends. Wearing reading glasses, with the help of her daughter, she edited and released the first circle of friends in her life: "I am a veteran. I am very excited and proud to start the application for preferential treatment certificate for retired soldiers. This is not only a proof of identity, but also a symbol of honor." The veteran, who joined the army in 1964 and has served for 21 years, spoke the voice of thousands of Chinese veterans. On the same day, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs held a launching ceremony for the application for preferential treatment certificates for veterans and other special care objects in Beijing, and officially released the format of preferential treatment certificates. A red card printed with Tiananmen Square, Huabiao, the Great Wall, glorious flowers, veterans' names, photos and years of service carries respect and love, responsibility and glory. In 2021, from the implementation of the Veterans' security law at the beginning of the year to the publication of the Veterans' preferential treatment certificate at the end of the year, for veterans, the four seasons are like spring and warm. In 2021, the oath of "if there is a war, call back" will ring through the mountains and rivers in the "battlefield" of flood fighting and the front line of epidemic fighting. The natural color is the pen, and the veterans draw their own "most beautiful" scenery. Guard · in the name of law "The party and the state have not forgotten us!" Not long ago, Wen Yaqiong, a 66 year old veteran in Wanning City, Hainan Province, received the "first-class merit honorary fund" as scheduled. He calculated: "2000 yuan a month. I've received it for nearly a year." Wanning City took the lead in setting up the "first-class merit honorary fund" in Hainan Province, which is a measure for local veterans affairs departments to carry out the "year of law and policy implementation". Take the law as the shield and guard the "loveliest person". On January 1, the law on the protection of veterans officially came into force. In the form of legislation, the party and the state provide legal protection for safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of ex servicemen, and clarify the basic policies, relevant supporting measures and reform trend on the issues of ex servicemen's resettlement, education and training, employment and entrepreneurship, pension and preferential treatment and so on. This year, when care and love were backed by the "law", the Veterans' road to life was smoother and broader. Many people found a new coordinate of life and reaped "stable happiness" in respect and preferential treatment. "There is something to say, things are managed, and it is difficult for someone to help." In Liaoning, Shenyang and Dadi, large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in the province have established Veterans Service Centers (stations) to extend the tentacles of service support to veterans' employees and smooth the "last kilometer" of serving veterans. "We have a home!" In the southern part of the Yangtze River, all retired military members were included in grass-roots party organizations, and mechanisms such as "transfer and connection", "organization and resettlement" and "double search of Party members" enabled veterans to have organization and dependence behind them. "No queuing, convenient and fast." The pilot work of building and sharing a "service supermarket" for veterans in the land of abundance was accelerated. The supermarket has complete functions. Veterans can "one-stop" handle all kinds of matters and enjoy free legal services and exclusive financial concessions. "Welcome us back, help us on the horse and give us a ride." Li Shiqing, a retired soldier from Jincheng, Shanxi, praised the guidance on comprehensively doing a good job in the education and training of retired soldiers jointly issued by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs and other seven departments in October. He shouted to his comrades in arms in the circle of friends: early training and early benefit. Pragmatic and warm-hearted measures have been taken to "walk out" and "move" from paper, preferential treatment has been implemented, respected, felt and touched, and veterans have new expectations for a better life. Warmth · national action As soon as winter came, Yang Wei, an online shop owner in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, was on fire. Someone ordered two single beds in Yang Wei's online store. The receiving address is Huaihua, Hunan. When he learned that the bed was bought by his son to a veteran of the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea, Yang Wei immediately decided to "give it away rather than sell it". "The mountains and rivers are fine. The prosperity is as the veterans wish. I wish the Veterans Health and longevity." When communicating with the veteran's son, Yang Wei wrote such a message. "Thank you for cultivating a merchant with such strong feelings of family and country, and please convey your heartfelt thanks to him..." as Yang Wei refused to disclose his name, veteran Wang Shijian sent a letter of thanks to the local government. The warm heart story did not come to an end. Many netizens who were moved by Yang Wei's righteous act of "only giving but not selling" poured into his online store and distributed red envelopes online. "You just give it and we share it together" and "place an order and buy it to help your love". The history of the Republic is engraved with the charge of soldiers. People with deep feelings are concerned about veterans who have dedicated themselves to their country. In 2021, sending warmth, doing practical things and solving difficult problems for veterans will become the consensus and consciousness of the whole society. In order to make the veterans live in peace, Qingdao, Shandong Province, issued the measures of Qingdao Municipality on housing preferential treatment for the objects of fixed pension and preferential treatment, which further expanded the priority scope and intensity for the retired soldiers; Guangdong Dongguan and Zhejiang Wenzhou have successively launched preferential policies for housing provident fund for retired soldiers, and retired soldiers can enjoy preferential interest rates for housing provident fund; For the first time, affordable housing in Yinchuan, Ningxia is allocated by lottery, and retired and disabled soldiers are preferred; For qualified veterans, Anhui Tongling has a separate list of affordable housing and implemented accurate support. Many veterans have their own safe harbor. For the sake of Veterans' happy career - 210000 person times of adaptability training and 230000 person times of skill training were organized all over the country, and more than 10000 online and offline job fairs were held; Preferential policies have been introduced to promote the employment of retired soldiers in the development zone and participate in rural revitalization; 9153 enterprises across the country have signed employment cooperation agreements for retired soldiers. Central enterprises have provided 18000 jobs for retired soldiers, and relevant enterprises have provided 55000 jobs for retired soldiers. Many veterans have embarked on a new "battle position", "crossed the hills" and "braved the wind and waves". For the sake of the veterans, the state continues to raise the pension and subsidy standards of some preferential care recipients by an average of 10%; All localities at all levels have completed centralized supplementary payment of basic old-age insurance, and 2.853 million people enjoy policy dividends; The public welfare action of "caring veterans" was carried out throughout the country. Care funds were set up in 27 provinces, and social forces participated in providing service guarantee for veterans; In Hebei, Anhui, Liaoning, Heilongjiang and Tianjin, many veterans general hospitals have been listed one after another "Only by not forgetting the past can we know today and love the future." Care trickles into a stream, moistening the soldier's heart. Veterans come from the military of the "past". If they have a happy "today", they will be able to create a better "future". True color · charge without regret A few days ago, the "invitation to war" printed with red fingerprints moved the ancient city of Xi'an. When novel coronavirus pneumonia was in severe situation in December 23rd, Xi'an Shaanxi closed management. Tens of thousands of veterans stepped forward at the critical moment to join the anti epidemic team. Among them, there are retired college students, soldiers, medical staff and white haired old people. "At this critical juncture, we should stand up" and "explain the true character and mission of soldiers with practical actions. We sincerely ask to fight the epidemic". Once the Veterans' "request for war" was released on the Internet, "you can always trust Chinese veterans" and "pay tribute to veterans" once again appeared on the hot search. There are often storms in a sunny day. In a battlefield without gunpowder smoke, there are always veterans charging. "I am in the wind and rain. Please rest assured." Extreme Heavy Rainfall raided Zhengzhou, Henan Province, and more than 100 veterans' volunteer teams dressed in camouflage and rushed to the rescue at night. "I have been a soldier all my life. As long as the party needs me, I will be there." Gansu Province issued a recruitment order for epidemic prevention volunteers, and more than 80000 veterans wore "volunteer red" to participate in joint prevention and control work such as prevention and control duty, resident investigation and killing operations. "Those who have been soldiers are not afraid to attack the mountains." Guizhou Province established a "military branch secretary" regional industrial alliance, and 954 veterans signed a "certificate of responsibility" to lead the villagers to work hard, overcome difficulties and embark on a new journey of Rural Revitalization. No matter how the status changes, in the veteran's chest, the beating is always the hot heart of the soldier. In Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai in November, the temperature was as low as minus 23 ℃. Veteran Zhang Binbin resolutely jumped into the piercing lake to save people. He said: "I am a retired soldier. My military career tells me that as long as the motherland and the people need it, I will not hesitate!" Li Gang, a retired soldier in Handan, Hebei Province, lost his admission ticket and missed the fireman's exam in order to save people. "It's a pity, but saving lives is 100 times more important than exams," he said Netizen left a message: "you have passed the exam of life." In novel coronavirus pneumonia, Ding Qilong, a veteran soldier, took the 21 year old son and retired soldier, Ding Qilong, to volunteer in the new crown pneumonia isolation area in Shangqiu, Henan. "There are difficulties in our hometown. We should meet the difficulties and try our best to serve the people." Father and son spoke in unison. The sound of "veteran" is the horn of charge and the invariable nature. People remember their names and use the attribute of "most beautiful". Put on military uniforms, they are the most lovely people. Take off their military uniforms, they are still the most lovely people. 2021, pay tribute to "the most beautiful", pay tribute to the veterans! (outlook new era)
