We should shorten the distance, broaden channels and enrich means, carry out more activities in line with the cognitive characteristics of teenagers, and imperceptibly sow the "seeds" of loving the party, the country and the army in the hearts of children. In order to make national defense education fly into thousands of households and all walks of life, in recent years, relevant military and local departments have organized many national defense education activities with wide participation and strong experience for different groups.

This is an epitome of innovative forms of national defense education.
