2021 is coming to an end.
This year, many young people met a group of "young people" from a hundred years ago through a TV series. The two generations are separated by a hundred years of rise and fall, honor and disgrace, and their hearts are imprinted on each other.
This year, many old people have fulfilled their wishes for many years: some of them have crossed thousands of kilometers to meet old comrades-in-arms; some have crossed time and space to find relatives who sacrificed in foreign countries.
This year, at many of the same moments, similar emotions stirred in our chests, some people called it "pride", journalists preferred to call it "patriotic".
This year, some people traveled far, some people went home; some people parted, some people reunited. Some people have unfortunately passed away, and the whole people have deeply mourned; some people look up at the stars and continue to forge ahead.
This year, we heard the roar of the J-20 fighter formation, and the sound that resounded through the clouds protected us from sleeping peacefully at night. We have also seen magnificent fireworks, soaring dragons, illuminating the dreams of countless people.
This year, the world came to know an extraordinary China, her youth and vigor, her ancient vicissitudes. We saw the brightest and most moving red in front of the five-star red flag, and we couldn't help but shout out: Thank you motherland, thank you for having you.
At that time, their bodies were salvation, and now our bodies are revivals.
"This year, we received thousands of letters addressed to the martyr Longhua. These letters travel through time and space are the best consolation for the heroes. ”
2021 is a year full of surprises and changes for the staff of Shanghai Longhua Martyrs Cemetery. At the beginning of the year, the TV series "The Age of Awakening" was popular, and martyrs such as Chen Yannian, Chen Qiaonian, and Zhao Shiyan entered the public's field of vision, and every day there were flowers and letters from all over the country, gathering in the cemetery with respect.
"In the new era, young people are thriving, and people who like red historical stories are showing a trend of rejuvenation, and we are pleased to see that red genes are being passed down from generation to generation." Zou Qiang, director of the Longhua Martyrs Cemetery, said.
On December 6, the National Language Resources Monitoring and Research Center released the "Top Ten Online Terms of 2021", and the "Age of Awakening" ranked first.
Chen Yannian, Chen Qiaonian, Zhao Shiyan... The names of these slightly unfamiliar revolutionary martyrs are remembered by the youth of the new era. Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Cai Yuanpei, Lu Xun... These characters, who appear in textbooks, have become idols of the youth of the new era.
Some netizens left a message, "In the face of the stormy mountains and rivers, the new young people of a hundred years ago were fearless and not afraid of sacrifice in order to save the people and survive, national rejuvenation, and this feeling is like a fire, igniting the flame that is running in the hearts of contemporary young people." ”
Majestic Karakoram, heroes stand. At the beginning of the year, this newspaper and periodical published a report reflecting the advanced deeds of the officers and men of the border task forces in defending the country and defending the border, showing the bold loyalty of the officers and men of the border troops who dared to struggle, dared to win, and swore to defend the motherland's territory to the death, and the fighting spirit of not being afraid of hardship and death, thus displaying the lofty style of the heroic officers and men of the border defense in the new era. The 18-year-old Chen Xiangrong wrote "Clear Love, Only for China" has touched countless Chinese people.
In July, many parts of Henan suffered a rare sustained heavy rainfall in history, and tens of thousands of people's soldiers quickly assembled and rushed to the front line of flood fighting. At times of crisis, young "post-90s" and "post-00s" officers and men slept non-stop, fought all night, shouted the slogan of "flood does not retreat, we do not retreat," and fought the flood where the masses of the people needed it most to guard peace. The Central Plains has experienced a thrilling struggle against floods and has also experienced the spiritual baptism of unity of purpose. The frontline of flood control has become a vivid education classroom, so that the vast number of young people can cultivate the feelings of loving the party and the country and the army.
"Although we have not been able to catch up with the awakening era of a hundred years ago, we have grown up in a happy new era of awakening." Young Chinese youth have proven time and again with their actions that this is a generation that can be entrusted. A generation has a mission of a generation, and the new youth of the new era are ready.

December 13 is the eighth National Day of Commemoration for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre. On this day, a poster let us "break the defense".
A little girl living in prosperous China, crouching down, holding an umbrella, traveling through history, shielding the little boy who was trapped in the desperate situation of the Nanjing Massacre. The poster has two lines: "Time travels so much that I want to shield you from the wind and rain." The poster designer said that during the creative process, when viewing the historical documentary, tears moistened the eyes again and again.
On November 29, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the People's Literature Publishing House and a video website jointly released the 2021 annual barrage. The bullet screen of "broken defense" has exceeded 10 billion on the website, becoming the term that best represents the mood of users of the website this year.

Over the past hundred years, heroic characters, touching deeds, historical moments, etc., are not only the historical axis connecting the glorious centuries, but also a carrier full of emotions, reflecting the surging feelings of the family and the country and the high passion of the contemporary young people.
On May 22, 2021, the Republic lost two academicians. One is Yuan Longping, the "father of hybrid rice", and the other is Wu Mengchao, the "father of Chinese hepatobiliary surgery". One day, the double stars fell, and the tears of the Chinese people flew into rain. This tear reflects the mainstream values of today's society: strivers, creators, and devotees are the most beautiful heroes.
"Citizens handwritten cards to bid farewell to Elder Yuan" "Retired special forces rescued 5 people in a row in a flood"... One by one, the "defense-breaking" moments and the tears we shed because of these "moments" together constitute the most moving scenes on the land of China.
"'Breaking the defense' allows us to see the strong empathy of contemporary youth." Sun Ping, deputy director of the Institute of Journalism and Communication of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said: Across a hundred years of time and space, today's young people have invariably used unique vocabulary to express their reverence and remembrance for the heroic ancestors and the gratitude and admiration for the communists who have followed in their predecessors and forged ahead.
"I was eating white rice and drinking happy water, and I couldn't figure out why these strong officers and soldiers died, and I woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly remembered that they died for me."

In December, He Bochao set off from Luzhou, Sichuan Province, for Yantai, Shandong Province, and met Gao Wangong, a 96-year-old class leader, "I was relieved to see that you were fine." ”
Tears are the most sincere thing in the world. When we say "break the defense" and shed tears for the most sincere reunion and reunion in the world, it is also a moment for us to pay tribute to the most lovely people in this land.
2021 is full of hardships: epidemics, floods, torrential rains... Looking back, those "most beautiful figures" in the epidemic, "the most beautiful lifts" in the flood, and the "most beautiful retrograde" in the rainstorm are like a beam of light, converging into the most beautiful galaxy of this era.
"After the wave" rushing tide of the times, creating the future of youth responsibility (subtitle)
"This summer is destined to be remembered for the rest of my life."
In 2021, for Yao Muchen, a sixth-grade student of Beijing No. 1 Experimental Primary School, it is full of growth and harvest.
On July 1, at the meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, Yao Muchen, as one of the four reciters, participated in the recitation of "Please Rest Assured that the Party Strong Country Has Me". The people of the whole country heard his voice, and also heard the youth oath of the young people in the new era, "Please rest assured that the party is assured, the strong country has me."
At the meeting to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, there were many loud voices: 15 J-20 fighters flew over Tiananmen Square in three formations. The roar of the fighter plane resounded throughout the heavens and the earth, and the powerful force shook the hearts of the Chinese people.
"Through the continuous struggle of the whole party and the people of all nationalities throughout the country, we have achieved the first centenary goal, comprehensively built a moderately prosperous society on the land of China, historically solved the problem of absolute poverty, and are marching with vigor toward the second centenary goal of building a socialist modern power in an all-round way." The thick and powerful voice resounded throughout the blossoming Tiananmen Square, resounded through the thousands of mountains and rivers of the motherland, and spread to the whole world, and the good wishes that the Chinese nation had been diligently pursuing for thousands of years were realized.
"As long as the troops need it, I am willing to be a soldier for the rest of my life." When a comrade-in-arms asked Gao Yuhua, who had been in the army for 32 years, "After so many years, you are still a soldier, don't you regret it?" He gave this answer. Gao Yuhua, a first-class sergeant major of a certain brigade of the Strategic Support Force, has been in the army for 32 years, adhered to 5 mountains, participated in major national defense construction tasks dozens of times, and always regarded the post as a battle position, interpreting the original intention and mission of a veteran.
On the eve of August 1 this year, the Central Propaganda Department and the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission jointly released 12 "most beautiful revolutionary soldiers in the new era.". Among them, there are instructors from academies and universities who have devoted themselves to disseminating the party's innovative theories and have always persisted in educating people for war; there are special operations battalion commanders who have worked hard to train and train elite soldiers; submarine captains who have hardened the ocean to defend the sea frontier; there are flight brigade commanders who have painstakingly practiced their skills to fight against the blue sky; there are missile brigade commanders who have taken on the mission of forging shields and swords; there are support sharp soldiers who have served the command of joint operations; there are outstanding sergeant majors who have taken root and dedicated themselves to the frontline of national defense projects; and there are loyal guards of the armed police who are struggling on the guard line of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. The 12 officers and men are advanced models of the whole army faithfully performing the missions and tasks entrusted by the party and the people and striving to promote the emergence of a strong military in the new era. They have made extraordinary achievements in ordinary posts, fully reflecting the people's army's bold loyalty of always obeying the party's words and following the party, and showing the lofty style of the officers and men of the whole army in obeying the party's command and striving to strengthen the army.
In early September, President Xi Jinping replied to the "Plateau Shubian Model Battalion" to encourage the vast number of officers and soldiers to "faithfully perform the duties of defending the country and the border and strive to make new contributions to the party and the people."
"Standing here, on behalf of the officers and men of the whole battalion, I can proudly say that we have not lost an inch of land and are worthy of the great trust of the party and the people." On November 26, the Tibet Military Region organized a report meeting on the advanced deeds of the "Plateau Shubian Model Battalion". Yin Qiang, a cadre of the "Plateau Shubian Model Battalion," spoke fondly of the vivid practice of the officers and men of the whole battalion in keeping in mind Chairman Xi's instructions and faithfully performing their sacred duties of defending the country and shubian. "In the past 5 years, there have been thousands of armed patrols, and the battalion has always been able to truly integrate loyalty into one soldier and one pawn, one post and one post."
A strong country must have a strong army, and only a strong military can national security. The future is here, are you ready?
