The original heart is like a torch, a hundred years of style. After the shining days of 2021, we ushered in the new year with great ambition and set out with our dreams.

A strong country must have a strong army, and only a strong military can national security. Standing at a new starting point, we sincerely praise all those who pay attention to the overall situation of rich countries and strong armies, and all the contributions made to the cause of strengthening the army and rejuvenating the military.

In the past year, the newly revised National Defense Law and Military Service Law, the newly promulgated Law on the Protection of Veterans, and the Law on the Protection of the Status and Rights and Interests of Military Personnel have been implemented, which has enabled the cohesion of national defense forces to have the support of the law and a perceptible temperature. In the course of the exceptionally heavy rainstorm disasters in Henan and other places, the people's children, soldiers, and militiamen moved at the behest of orders and stepped forward, and the masses of the people spontaneously sent hot and hot rice, and the fish and water were deeply felt and the people were united in their will; the cold border passes were hot and the blood was hot, and the party and government in the border areas overcame many difficulties to build roads and bridges for the officers and men of the "edge of the sky," and to connect water and electricity to the network.

The "Love My National Defense" college students' speech contest is still continuing; the national defense mobilization work in various localities has been carried out step by step in the process of reflection and summary; the military and the local government have joined forces to explore innovative network national defense education models, and do a good job in the management and protection of red resources, especially martyrs' memorial facilities... Caring for national defense, loving national defense, building national defense, and defending national defense have increasingly become the ideological consensus and conscious action of the whole society.

For these important or ordinary people and things, we focus, we record, we think, we appeal, we witness the footsteps of national defense and the times.

"In the historical process of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and realizing the goal of the second centenary struggle, we must put national defense and army building in a more important position and speed up the construction and consolidation of national defense and a strong army." Strengthening the military industry has a bearing on the great cause of national rejuvenation and the overall situation of enriching the country and strengthening the army. Realizing the goal of building the army for a hundred years is the mission of the people's army, and it is even more inseparable from the support of the people of the whole country.

In the new year, we will continue to pay attention to important work, hot topics, and innovative practices in the field of national defense, and introduce new achievements and new experiences in the balanced, compatible, and coordinated development of national defense construction and economic construction, the joint efforts of the military and the local government to promote the progress of national defense mobilization, and the strengthening of national defense education for the whole people.

In the new year, we hope that our reporting will be broader and deeper, record more vivid stories, bring out more insights, and unite more national defense forces.

In the new year, we expect that more and more people will pay attention to national defense and support national defense, so as to build China's national defense in the new era.

In 2022, let us work together to dream of tomorrow.

Standing in front of the tomb of his uncle Chen Bingliang, Xie Chunyun from Dingnan County, Jiangxi Province, burst into tears.

On December 29, 2021, Gucheng County, Hubei Province, held the first batch of scattered martyrs' tombs to be relocated and buried. The tombs of 42 martyrs, including Li Yasheng, who bravely served the revolutionary cause, and Chen Bingliang, who died during the construction of the Xiang-Chongqing Railway, were moved to the county martyrs' cemetery for burial and unified protection and management. On the same day, representatives of more than 100 relatives of the martyrs participated in the relocation and burial ceremony.

"My uncle has no whereabouts after his death, and we have been looking for news of him for so many years." Xie Chunyun said that this time he finally found his relatives and fulfilled the family's wishes.

Heaven and earth are heroic, and the thousand autumns are still awe-inspiring. In recent years, the Hubei military and local governments have worked together to promote the protection of heroic martyrs, searching for relatives for martyrs, repairing martyrs' memorial facilities, and solving problems for martyrs' families. On the land of Jingchu, it has become a common practice to respect heroes, defend heroes, learn from heroes, and care for martyrs.

The whole people work together to find relatives for the martyrs——

Look for your concerns

This is a "meeting" that spans half a century.

More than 50 years ago, between the lofty mountains and mountains in Yuan'an County, Yichang City, the construction of the third line was in full swing. That year, Zhu Guisheng, a certain warrior, was flourishing. However, in an accident, his life was forever fixed at the age of 22.

Zhu Dongsheng, a younger brother living in his hometown in Guangyuan City, Sichuan Province, recalled: "When my brother died, I was only a few years old, and I only remember that when the soldiers came to show the martyr's certificate, my parents were heartbroken. "Two years later, my father died of illness." To yichang to find relatives" became a family wish. For various reasons, the search for relatives has not been possible in these years.

In 2019, a martyrs' tomb was found on the hillside of a factory in the martyrs' memorial facility under the jurisdiction of Yuan'an County. Due to its age, the information on the tombstone is blurred. "Judging from the surrounding environment, this martyr's tomb has not been sacrificed for many years." Tan Changqiang, a staff member of the Yuan'an County Veterans Affairs Bureau, said that at that time, everyone was very unhappy in their hearts and had the idea of helping the martyrs find their relatives.

Looking for archives, turning over historical records, visiting old comrades who once participated in the construction of the third line... They found an important clue: the martyr Zhu Guisheng was enlisted from Guangyuan, Sichuan. With the joint efforts of many military and local departments in Sichuan and Hubei, they finally found the relatives of the martyrs.

On May 17, 2021, with the assistance of the relevant military and local departments, the three younger brothers of martyr Zhu Guisheng accompanied their mother He Guifang to Yuan'an County to pay homage. He Guifang, who was full of silver hair and nearly ninety years old, stood in front of the tomb of his son Zhu Guisheng, gently caressed the tombstone, and shed tears before saying a word.

"It is the common responsibility of the military and the localities to find relatives for the heroes and martyrs." A leader of Hubei Province introduced that in recent years, the Hubei military and local governments have established the idea of "one game of chess", increased the intensity of linkage and coordination, and actively promoted the work of searching for the relatives of martyrs.

Relevant staff told reporters that due to their age and confidentiality, many martyrs' information is incomplete, it is not easy to find relatives, and it is far from enough to rely on administrative forces alone.

In the Yichang Revolutionary Martyrs Cemetery, there is a martyr named Lai Yunqing. Historical records record that in the battle to liberate Yichang, Lai Yunqing, who was only 20 years old, died heroically.

In April 2021, Yichang City published relevant information on the Internet platform, using the precise geographical pop-up technology of the Internet platform to accurately push the search for relatives information to the users of the martyr's household registration location, and there was a clue in less than a month. The two places searched together for verification and finally found Lai Yunqing's relatives.

Every martyr deserves to be remembered forever by future generations. The leader of the Department of Veterans Affairs of Hubei Province said that in the next step, the relevant departments of the hubei military and local government will continue to carry out the activity of "searching for the relatives of martyrs" to help more martyrs find their relatives.

Up to now, Hubei Province has completed the task of checking the information of 119,000 martyrs, sorted out the deeds of more than 129,000 martyrs in the province, and organized personnel to compile the "List of Martyrs in Hubei Province", disseminate the deeds of martyrs, and inherit red genes.

Protection of Martyrs' Memorial Facilities -

Guard your long sleep

"On this wall, there are the names of more than 15,000 martyrs." At the Xiaogan Martyrs Cemetery in Hubei Province, Huang Zhenhua, deputy director of the cemetery management office, pointed to the newly built Martyrs' Famous Wall last year and told reporters, "After the Yingming Wall is repaired, the cemetery will also build monuments and other facilities to facilitate large-scale martyrs' memorial activities." ”

To commemorate the heroes and martyrs, we must first protect the martyrs' memorial facilities. In recent years, Hubei Province has vigorously promoted the improvement and renovation of martyrs' memorial facilities, and has approved 25 new reconstruction and expansion projects for martyrs' memorial facilities.

In March 2021, the Department of Culture and Tourism of Hubei Province approved and published the first list of revolutionary cultural relics in Hubei Province, with a total of 1018 immovable revolutionary cultural relics and 2810 movable revolutionary cultural relics (sets) in the list. Due to issues such as rights and responsibilities, ownership, etc., some scattered memorial facilities, martyrs' former residences, revolutionary sites, etc. are damaged and in disrepair, and the surrounding environment of some memorial facilities is worrying.

During a visit, the People's Procuratorate of Hongshan District of Wuhan City found that there were problems such as the random parking of vehicles near cultural relics, the stacking of buildings, and domestic garbage in the Fuhushan Martyrs' Cemetery, so it took the initiative to contact the Wuhan Military Procuratorate to report the relevant situation and urge relevant units to carry out rectification. Two months later, the military and the localities jointly sent people to return to visit and found that although the problems had improved, the rectification and reform were still not in place.

On June 11, 2021, the Wuhan Military Procuratorate, together with the Hongshan District People's Procuratorate, held an Internet public hearing on the administrative public interest litigation case for the protection of revolutionary cultural relics and the construction of barrier-free facilities in Fuhu Mountain. The hearing was broadcast live to the public through the China Procuratorial Hearing Network. This is also the first time that military and local procuratorial organs have jointly held public hearings in the form of live Internet broadcasts.

In view of the fact that the cultural relics in this place have different attributes, different applicable laws and regulations, both territorial management and industry management, and obvious overlapping functions, the Wuhan Military Procuratorate and the Hongshan District People's Procuratorate decided to convene relevant parties to find the crux of the problem through the form of public interest litigation hearings, clarify responsibilities, gather consensus, and form a joint force for the protection, management and utilization of red resources.

"Yesterday you defended us with your life, today we protect you with the law." The reporter learned that as of November 2021, the Hubei military and local departments have found out the number of revolutionary cultural relics and martyrs' cemeteries by retrieving materials, field visits, organizing forums, etc., and have conducted a total of 1106 immovable revolutionary cultural relics and 559 movable revolutionary cultural relics, found 286 public interest litigation clues, and filed 264 cases.

Doing practical things for the families of martyrs————

Warm your loved ones

"Thank you to the party and the government for their care for the families of our martyrs." On October 14, 2021, in the third group of Huangnitan Village, Taodian Township, Huangzhou District, Huanggang City, villager Wu Guixiang expressed his gratitude to the medical staff who came to the door to examine her mother-in-law Zhao Guizhi.

Zhao Guizhi is 85 years old, and her father, Sun Yuhua, died heroically in the anti-Japanese battlefield in 1943. Like Zhao Guizhi, on the day of Chongyang Festival, the children of elderly martyrs in nearby townships received free medical examinations organized by the Huangzhou District Veterans Affairs Bureau, the Joint District Health And Health Bureau, and the Huangzhou General Hospital.

Blood collection, blood pressure measurement, ultrasound, electrocardiogram... The medical staff did a series of routine examinations for Zhao Guizhi. "Usually pay attention to blood pressure, don't be too excited." The medical staff instructed Zhao Guizhi, and the old man nodded from time to time. Before leaving, she took the hand of the medical staff and kept thanking her.

Since last year, Hubei Province has taken the action of caring for the descendants of martyrs as an important part of the practical activity of "I do practical things for the masses". The Hubei Provincial Veterans Affairs Department organizes free health examinations for the children of elderly martyrs who enjoy pension subsidies, and establishes a contact and support mechanism for the children of martyrs who have difficulties in life, so as to enhance their sense of gain, happiness and honor. Since 2020, the province has tailored medical examinations for the elderly children of 5184 martyrs.

For the children of martyrs who have difficulties in life, all localities in Hubei have coordinated the comprehensive measures of civil affairs, health and health, human resources and social security, education and other departments, established a contact and support mechanism in life, medical care, employment, education and other aspects, and promoted the normalization, specialization and precision of caring for the descendants of revolutionary martyrs.

Majestic Dabie Mountain, vast Yangtze River water. According to incomplete statistics, during the revolutionary war years, more than 700,000 Hubei martyrs heroically sacrificed their lives for the revolutionary cause. "We must not only take good care of the descendants of heroic martyrs, but also build the old revolutionary areas well, so that the fruits of economic and social development can benefit the old areas." A leader of Hubei Province told reporters.

In 2021, Hubei Province issued implementation opinions to support the revitalization and development of old revolutionary areas in the new era, and the 37 key counties for rural revitalization in the province are all old revolutionary areas and counties, and the resources and forces of industrial revitalization, organizational revitalization, talent revitalization, cultural revitalization, and ecological revitalization are gathered here.

The old revolutionary areas are better than the past. Huanggang invested special funds to comprehensively upgrade the 385.7-kilometer highway leading to 81 red old sites; Xiangyang arranged special funds to give key assistance to infrastructure, public services, and characteristic industries in the old revolutionary areas.

The care of the party and the government, the martyrs' families remembered in their hearts, and used actions to give back to the society.

In 2008, Zhang Yu, a soldier from Gucheng in Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, participated in the fire fighting and rescue in Xinjiang at the age of 28. Zhang Yu's mother could not take care of herself due to illness, and her father Zhang Qinxian suffered a double blow and his mood has been unstable. The relevant departments of the military and local governments in Gucheng County organized volunteer service teams to visit Zhang Qinxian's home regularly to help solve difficulties in life and give psychological counseling. Today, Zhang Qinxian often preaches martyrdom in local primary and secondary schools.

"Hero's father, I want to tell you that although martyr Zhang Yu is gone, he will always live in our hearts and is our example!" After listening to Zhang Qinxian's lecture, Zhang Xinhao, a fourth-grade student at Chengnan Primary School in Chengguan Town, Gucheng County, spread out the letter paper and solemnly wrote one stroke and one painting.
