Shaoshan: Protecting green pines, offering flowers, singing red songs, commemorating the 45th anniversary of the death of Comrade Mao Zedong

On September 9, it was 45 years since the departure of Comrade Mao Zedong, a great man of a generation. In Shaoshan, tourists and local citizens from all over the world remember this great man of the century by protecting green pines, offering flowers, singing red songs and other simple ways.

On the hillside on the side of Comrade Mao Zedong's former residence, a group of students in red uniforms is particularly eye-catching, where they tell red stories, sing red songs, and water the green pines. The students came from The Zhong Zhishen Squadron and the Li Genghou Squadron of the Primary School of Shaoshan School. Every year on September 9, the school's heroic squadron will carry out the "9.9" green pine protection operation to express its deep nostalgia for Chairman Mao.

Zou Jiawen, counselor of the primary school brigade of Shaoshan School, introduced that the "9.9 Green Pine Protection" activity is a red education activity that the school has been inheriting, aiming to let the teenagers in the new era deeply remember Chairman Mao's merits while not forgetting the chairman's entrustment, study well, improve every day, and strive to be a strong teenager.

In front of the former residence of Comrade Mao Zedong, there was a long queue of tourists who visited. In the visiting procession, the reporter found that there were many tourists who came from other places.

Sun Yunfu, a 64-year-old native of Zhuzhou, told reporters that he made a special trip to Shaoshan on this trip to express his admiration and thoughts for Chairman Mao.

In Mao Zedong Square and comrade Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, people presented flower baskets and sang red songs to commemorate the great man and express their confidence and determination to strive for the realization of the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the Chinese dream.
