The picture shows the plaque of "glorious home". Photo by Xu Wei, special reporter of PLA Daily It's another spring, and it's time for the "two sessions". Spring, sprinkled all over the earth; Warm, often in my heart. "Soldiers are the most lovely people, and it is the most basic for them to be respected. We must do a good job in the management and support of ex servicemen. What should be guaranteed should be well guaranteed, and the policies that should be implemented must be implemented, so that heroes cannot shed blood and tears." *** Military representatives and members recalled. In recent years, from the establishment of Veterans Affairs institutions to the promulgation of the law of the people's Republic of China on the protection of veterans and the law of the people's Republic of China on the protection of the status and rights and interests of military personnel; From the unified replacement of luminous honor cards to the unified preparation and issuance of preferential treatment certificates for veterans and other special care objects; From carrying out the "most beautiful veterans" learning and publicity activities throughout the country to introducing the policy of loving the army and benefiting soldiers one after another - "let soldiers become a profession respected by the whole society", with the escort of law, the support of institutions and the guarantee of measures, we can sow warm sunshine in the hearts of our children's soldiers. In the exchange and interaction with grass-roots officers and soldiers, the military representative members said that the respect of the society and the courtesy of the people have encouraged the majority of officers and soldiers to take their posts as battle positions, win cheers with cheers and shine glory with victory. Preferential treatment and consensus building Inside and outside the venue, "respect for soldiers" was a hot topic among military representatives and members. In China, the signs of "military priority according to law" and "military preference" can be seen everywhere, which makes the hearts of the majority of officers and soldiers full of a sense of honor. "All the way first, fast and smooth!" Ma Yubin, a fighter of a destroyer detachment of the navy in the northern theater, told reporters about his experience. Not long ago, he went home on vacation and successively transferred to various means of transportation. Whether at the airport or at the station, he enjoyed the convenience brought by "giving priority to soldiers according to law". "To tell you the truth, when I walked into the ticket hall of the railway station, although I saw the sign of 'military priority according to law' at the ticket window, I still hesitated to go directly to the window." Ma Yubin said that when the staff saw the soldier card in his hand, they immediately came forward to guide him enthusiastically, and the passengers in front of him were also courteous. "It has increasingly become the consensus of the whole society that 'soldiers should give priority to law', and the services of railway, aviation and other transportation departments are becoming more and more 'distracted', which makes us truly feel the glory of being a soldier." Ma Yubin's words speak the voice of many officers and soldiers. From giving priority to the travel of soldiers according to law to becoming the "standard configuration" of cities, to setting up "military post stations" in more and more cities; From enjoying preferential tickets for military trips to "Yongjun road" and "Yongjun stores", the respect for soldiers has increasingly become the action consciousness of departments at all levels and local people. "Soldiers are respected for their dedication to their mission. If they are respected, they must live up to their mission." During the exchange, the representative members of the military and grass-roots officers and soldiers said that respect is not only honor but also encouragement. The best return to respect is to turn the love of the party and the people into a driving force for military training and war preparation, turn happiness into a sense of responsibility, and protect the beautiful mountains and rivers, national peace and public security. Praise, inspiration and glory Around the Spring Festival in the year of the tiger, many good news started from the military camp, flew over thousands of mountains and rivers and sent them to the "glorious home", which made the military and military families feel honored and warm. "The gongs and drums were pounding, the good news was sent to the door, and friends in the neighborhood came to congratulate me. My parents were not so happy!" Recalling that not long ago, the leaders of the people's Armed Forces Department and the Veterans Affairs Department in their hometown formed a condolences group to send good news at home together, Guo Liang, a pilot of an air force unit, was particularly proud: "my parents instantly became the 'stars' of the community." In 2021, due to his outstanding work performance, Guo Liang was awarded second-class merit and third-class merit once respectively. After receiving the good news, his mother said excitedly, "this is the honor of our family. In the future, we will continue to fully support our son and let him serve at ease and make new contributions!" "Good news is a piece of paper, and honor is very important." Deputy Pu Yongneng said, "good news is to send it with gongs and drums. The stronger the sense of ceremony, the more satisfied the sense of honor and happiness of military dependents. We also need to further do a good job in the recognition of meritorious deeds and honors, strengthen the sense of honor and responsibility of officers and soldiers, and make the praise and encouragement become a 'gas station' for military meritorious service camps and a 'booster' for school-age youth to sign up for the army." Pursue what kind of star, try to become what kind of person. Sun Mingxuan, who served in an army unit, could not forget that when he first saw a meritorious hero in his hometown with a second-class military merit badge on his chest, his heart filled with admiration. Inspired by the deeds of meritorious officials, sun Mingxuan trained hard and became a model after joining the army. He was rated as an excellent soldier with "Four Haves" for his outstanding comprehensive performance. His family also received good news for his meritorious service. Like sun Mingxuan, the vast number of grass-roots officers and men advocate honor, yearn for honor and strive for honor. They are determined to strengthen the army and work hard in every military camp. They hope to make contributions in the military camp and let their families share the glory. We issued the overall plan for building and improving the military honor system, printed and distributed the measures for families of meritorious servicemen to send good news, and formulated the regulations on the recognition of military meritorious deeds... With the introduction of a series of laws, regulations and incentive measures, the construction of the military honor system has been gradually improved. "The light of reverence lights up the 'house of Glory'." Representative Yuan Yuan said with deep feeling that the construction of the "honor wall", the hanging of the "list of meritorious officials", the printing of the "elegant demeanor record", the inclusion of the "Local Chronicles", the distinctive commendation and incentive activities and the preferential treatment policies and measures for meritorious officials issued by various localities will make the meritorious and rewarded soldiers and their military families feel honored and inspired, which will surely condense a strong joint force to strengthen the country and the army. Worry free for the future and strengthen national defense together As the spring returns to the earth, the warm news makes the majority of officers and soldiers and their families feel warm: Frontier officers and soldiers live in a new type of insulation room, and their families come to the team to carry bags and live in a "Star" apartment; Military spouses and military minor children shall receive free medical treatment, and military parents and spouse parents shall receive preferential medical treatment; The application for preferential treatment certificates for veterans and other preferential treatment objects was carried out in an all-round way, and the first batch of preferential treatment certificates entered the production link Speaking of these good news, committee member sisima said: "the issue of the backyard of future generations of soldiers is related to the front line and front line of the army. Only by guarding the 'softest concern' in the hearts of officers and soldiers, can soldiers concentrate on training and preparing for war and be duty bound to turn back when they go to the battlefield." To solve the "three rear" problem of soldiers, we should not only add icing on the cake, but also provide timely assistance. The first report on Sergeant Li Xiaoxin's help to the society not long ago. Li Xin was out on a military mission when his mother died suddenly. With the full cooperation of the Veterans Affairs Department in his hometown, his comrades in arms rushed to Li Xin's home to show filial piety for him. Many officers and soldiers said that with the strong backing of organizations at all levels, they can charge in front and worry free behind. In recent years, preferential treatment policies for military families and ex servicemen have been introduced. In 2021, Liaoning Provincial Department of Veterans Affairs, together with relevant local departments, vigorously promoted the establishment of Veterans Service Centers (stations) in large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises as a supplement to the existing service guarantee system. Yunnan Province has issued relevant policies. For retired soldiers who have obtained a college degree and have a professional counterpart within 2 years of retirement, they can be recommended to be exempted from the examination to enter the undergraduate course of ordinary colleges and universities in the province. Many places have introduced policies related to the resettlement of military dependents, widened the resettlement channels for unemployed military dependents, and improved the living subsidy standard for unemployed military dependents. "Home is the smallest country, and the country is tens of thousands." Deputy Zheng Hao sighed, "the whole society has a stronger and stronger atmosphere of respecting soldiers, and has gathered the majestic force of strengthening the country and the army."
