December 25 is Christmas in the West, a day when they eat, shop, decorate the Christmas tree, share gifts, and reunite....... Americans eat turkey, British eat roast goose, Austrians go to restaurants in droves for Christmas dinner, and there is a lot of joy everywhere.
But for Chinese, Christmas seems to mean more than that.....
The movie "Changjin Lake" filmed in 2021 depicts the brutal real scenes of the battle at that time:
Rows of volunteer soldiers, lying prone on the position at minus 40 °C, like a group portrait of "ice sculptures"!
The combat troops of the Eastern Front pursued all the way with their iron will and heroic fighting spirit, and the soldiers braved the bitter cold to cover themselves in single clothes and bravely kill the enemy, reversing the situation on the battlefield and showing military and national prestige. Defend the happiness and tranquility of the people of the motherland with their lives and blood.
The victory in this battle is of historic significance, shattering the aggressor's dream of "ending the war before Christmas". It is also from this Christmas that the Chinese remember this unforgettable history and pay tribute to the loveliest people!
The real scene can only be more tragic than this, and the veteran soldier said: "We have finished the battle that should be fought, and the younger generations will not have to fight...". Those warriors who died in the snow and ice should not be forgotten!
Today's young children should be told:
More than 70 years ago, once on a Christmas, there was a group of ordinary and great people who dedicated their lives and blood to the motherland and the people. It is precisely because of the selfless dedication and sacrifice of our ancestors that we have the peace of our prosperous world today.
Christmas in China should not only be about sweets and gifts, but also about remembering: where does today's happiness come from?
Salute the heroes, cherish the memory of the martyrs, and the people's heroes will be immortal!
