The Chinese Dream, the Dream of a Strong Military, is the dream of each and every one of us! Dear comrades, let's work hard together to achieve our dreams... "In the mid autumn season, the heat has not subsided, and the gymnasium of the Fifth Middle School in Lukou District, Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province, is a hot scene. The farewell ceremony for new recruits who joined the army in the second half of this year was held here. Xiong Junyi, a soldier from Lukou who had appeared on the CCTV military channel's "Love Our National Defense" program, was invited to cheer and encourage his new comrades who were about to go to the military camp. The district has held a farewell ceremony for new recruits for six consecutive years. Unlike before, this farewell ceremony has moved into the middle school campus, and among the huge farewell group of new recruits' relatives and friends, more than 1000 immature high school students are particularly eye-catching. The farewell ceremony for new recruits is the first lesson of their enlistment. From the beginning of their military journey, it allows them to truly feel the respect of society and strengthen their determination to root in the military camp and make achievements. At the same time, this is also the students' first lesson of school, a farewell ceremony, and a vivid national defense education. Everywhere you look, there is glory, thus planting the seeds of joining the army, serving the country, and caring about national defense in the hearts of students The leaders of the People's Armed Forces Department in Lukou District said that holding a farewell ceremony for new recruits in schools not only reflects respect for soldiers, but also serves as an effective carrier to cultivate the aspiration to join the army and serve the country. Having so many younger students come to see us off is truly a great surprise. After joining the army, I will definitely study hard and train diligently, setting a good example for my younger students Being able to return to his alma mater to attend the farewell ceremony holds special significance for new recruit Yi Zhenzhuo. In recent years, he has been studying in another city, and every winter and summer vacation when he returns home, he feels a strong sense of national defense: slogans and banners supporting and honoring the military can be seen everywhere, national defense education bus lines have opened one after another, there are more and more national defense theme parks, and recruitment propaganda videos are scrolling on electronic screens in shopping malls... As he approaches college graduation, Yi Zhenzhuo, with the support of his family, carries his pen to join the military and decides to depart from his hometown to the military camp. Lukou is the youngest district in Zhuzhou City, just established 6 years ago, full of vitality and energy. However, there are no universities in the jurisdiction, making it difficult to recruit high-quality soldiers. In order to make this young land a fertile ground for recruiting high-quality soldiers, the military and civilian areas in the region continue to cultivate and plow the national defense education field. Li Xiaotong, the secretary of the district committee, introduced the establishment of a red propaganda team in the district, mainly composed of veterans of the Korean War and the "most beautiful retired soldiers" in the city, and regularly conducts national defense education in schools; Guide schools in the jurisdiction to establish a long-term mechanism for national defense education, starting from military training for new students, and carry out national defense education throughout the entire academic process, deeply cultivating the concept of national defense in students' hearts. During the pre service education stage, Liu Bingyang and several scheduled new recruits took on a new role as off campus counselors, responsible for providing national defense education courses to high school freshmen who were undergoing military training at school. Encouraging dialogue between prospective recruits and new students is another measure taken by the Ministry of People's Armed Forces and local schools to promote national defense education in schools. We select outstanding new recruits and combine their training experience and personal insights to give lectures to the freshmen. They are of similar age and interests, making it easy for them to find a common ground in their thinking, and the educational effect will be better, "said Zhang Hao, the head of the district conscription office. Recalling the scene of teaching new students, Liu Bingyang said, "The military training freshmen are very interested in our lectures, and the communication and interaction are very active. Several students even asked us for contact information, wanting to learn more about the military camp and also join the army to serve the country in the future." Looking at the familiar faces in the farewell team, Liu Bingyang smiled and said to his new comrades, "When the students take the mid-term exam, we should fully adapt to military life!" Chen Yufei, a student from No. 3 High School in Lukou District, was also in the farewell team. The sound of drums and gongs rang out, and as he watched the newly recruited soldiers dressed in military uniform and full of vigor march out of the school gate in unison, carrying the expectations and instructions of their hometown elders, heading to the north and south of the motherland, his eyes were a bit warm: "At the farewell ceremony, there were speeches by typical strong military figures and representatives of veteran soldiers, which made me more deeply aware of the greatness of the military profession. The soldiers' feelings and dedication to everyone, who sacrificed their homes for everyone, made me understand what responsibility is and what responsibility is. I will also become such a person in the future
