We are as familiar with these positions as Sunshine is again. The handover continued in the outpost in a regular manner, each boundary pillar was still standing tall, the bow of the ship stirred up golden waves, the long sword bow in the dense forest was full of strings, and the warriors on the take-off line were waiting to be called. We arrived as we wished, and we set off as promised.
But, how do we say goodbye?
Zhang Jihui, a first-class combat hero of the Air Force, rested his wings and remembered the martyr Zhou Kunxun on a rainy day. The beautiful volunteer nurse Wang Qingzhen and the old aunt Gong Quanzhen, the wife of General Gan Zuchang, in the Shangganling tunnel, said goodbye to us with the respect of the people. Meng Guangtai and other 25 volunteer martyrs completed a distressing task, the old Red Army, the founding major general Tu Tong completed the last expedition of his life, and General Wen Zheng, who had never lost a battle, passed away, and the commander of the artillery division of the Battle of Yunshan slept peacefully in the peaceful scenery.
We miss them a lot.
They live in our common great cause, and we remember and continue their common great ideals.
This is the first year after the victory of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. For the first time in human history, large-scale modernization has been carried out in a peaceful rather than war-like manner. Modernization ≠ Westernization, and we have blazed a new path for developing countries to modernize. On the occasion of the 130th anniversary of Comrade Mao Zedong's birth, the unfinished business of the revolutionaries of the older generation has fallen on the Communists of today as never before.
This was also the ninetieth anniversary of the Red Army's Long March. Today's journey is no longer the journey of the year, but looking at the road ahead, there are still many "snow mountains" and "grasslands" to cross, and there are still many "Loushan Pass" and "Lazikou" to conquer. "As long as we maintain firm ideals and convictions and a strong revolutionary will, we will be able to overcome all the hurdles, and we will be able to leave all the traps, encirclement, pursuit, and blockade lines!"
The Long March is always on the way.
This is also the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative, the 20th anniversary of the first manned space flight, the 45th anniversary of reform and opening up, and the 70th anniversary of the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea......
The shoulders of those who came before them stretched out a piece of the sky.
And today, the great changes are silent, and no one knows if there is really "the gears of fate quietly turning". The heads of state of China and the United States met in San Francisco, and the world is looking forward to the stabilization of this most important bilateral relationship; the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has dragged on to this day, and the impact has spread to the world; Iran and Saudi Arabia shook hands in Beijing at the century, but the flames of the Palestinian-Israeli war have ignited the smoke of gunpowder; the suffering of Afghanistan has continued natural disasters, the Japanese government has insisted on discharging nuclear sewage into the sea, and the new Argentine government has tried "shock therapy" ...... "where is mankind going?" to a critical juncture.
The floodgates that divide history into two sections are always extraordinarily heavy, and it is difficult to carry such a burden without sufficient tests. The question is, who can break through one change to another, and clear one plane to another?
President Xi said: "The Chinese people have understood since ancient times that there is no good thing in the world to sit back and enjoy, and to be happy, we must struggle. ”
Good intentions are no substitute for the strength to defend. In view of Tsai Ing-wen's "transit" to the United States, the Eastern Theater organized combat readiness patrols around Taiwan Island and a "Joint Sword" Xi, and the Shandong warship participated for the first time, and the animation of joint precision strikes was exciting; in view of Lai Qingde's two "transits" to the United States, the Eastern Theater organized joint naval and air combat readiness patrols around Taiwan Island and held joint exercises and training of naval and air forces to deal with "Taiwan independence" The Southern Theater has organized army units to conduct actual combat exercises on our side of the China-Burma border to be prepared for all kinds of emergencies.
The voice of revolutionary soldiers in the new era is that they will come when they are called, they will be able to fight, and they will win the battle.
It is rare for an army to be able to write hope and strength into the history of the army. On the 15th anniversary of the Navy's escort mission in Somalia and the Gulf of Aden, the Nanning and Weishanhu ships completed the evacuation of Chinese personnel in Sudan, and China's deep blue brought the sails of peace; the Air Force's Bayi Air Show Team made a wonderful appearance at the Dubai Air Show, who held a colorful dance in the air; "Peace and Friendship-2023" held a Xi exercise in China for the first time, and the 10th Beijing Xiangshan Forum focused on "common security and lasting peace", showing the Chinese style of the military of a major country.
In the history of China, there is no army that puts the word "people" in front of its name. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Yan'an Double Support Movement. In the earthquake areas of Gansu and Qinghai, in the rain in North China and Northeast China, and in the day and night of Jishi Mountain, the military flag followed the party flag and was planted in the place where the party and the people needed it most. There is a kind of confidence in the hearts of the people called "soldiers".
This special emotion between the people and the people's army, which can only be found in China today, echoes and constantly reverberates.
Only by bearing the wind and waves and not being swept away by the stormy waves can we control the change.
We are convinced that it is the soldiers who dare to face the artillery fire and grow up, and it is the team that is good at advancing through the artillery fire. However, there is strength because the warriors are never a minority but a majority, unity is strength, and confidence is because the team is never a group but a group, and confidence is better than gold. One battle after another, each battle purifying the soul and strengthening the muscles and bones.
We understand that it is not only mountains and rivers that are surging in the blood of warriors, but they choose mountains and rivers. Zhang Guimei, winner of the July 1st Medal, wrote in a reply letter to the soldiers of the Armed Police Squadron: "Child, you are a soldier, and you must have the motherland and the people in your heart, and the responsibility on your shoulders is heavier than anyone else. ”
It's not that he is not lonely, but he loves the motherland deeply, throws away his youth without being stingy, crosses the test of life and death, and brings back a medal.
We have witnessed that the iron cavalry on the road on the snowy day continues to gallop, the poetry collection of youth reveals the breath of the soldiers, the umbrella flowers bloom is the advance of youth, there are teenagers chasing the wind on the runway of fighter planes, clear love flows from the top of the snow-capped mountains, demining soldiers follow the footsteps of heroes, the sons and daughters of the border defense stand still in the strong wind, there are people in the silent deep sea who "listen to the wind" underwater, and the island and reef transportation and replenishment link warm-hearted "ferry" The children who are determined to be in the blue sky sit on the most cattle charter plane, the sweaty camouflage swings a swift iron fist, the sharp soldiers who have been sharpening their swords in the mountains for a long time are ready to go out, and the silent storm brews in the confrontation of the Red Army and the blue army - they are the smallest unit of all peace and dignity.
This year, the 60th anniversary of the naming of the "Lei Feng Class", the 60th anniversary of the awarding of the "Good Eighth Company on Nanjing Road", and the 70th anniversary of the posthumous awarding of the title of Huang Jiguang's special hero......
We feel that the soul of the army is not only in military history, but also immortalized in every group of revolutionary soldiers. Revolutionaries are always young, making small things bigger, doing hard things cool, brave and tenacious and not afraid of sacrifice.
And those warriors who sleep forever, you yourself are mountains and rivers.
The future is the only way forward. Next year will mark the 75 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are only three years left before the goal of achieving the goal of 100 years since the founding of the army. The old man of history will not allow people to fantasize about comfort, Xi to inertia, and victories worth all-out efforts have never come easily. A warrior will eventually pass this level: put your preparation for your ideal mission in the real world. No amount of rhetoric can replace this baptism of fire.
Standing here means that you have traveled through perilous roads and difficulties. The reason why I love tomorrow so much is because I am not indifferent to today. The reason why I look forward to the future so much is because I did not flinch when the artillery fire came. Not afraid of headwinds blowing from all directions, the sun always rises in the east.
Another year, it is still the era when the sky is full of red clouds, yellow flowers everywhere, lightning and thunder, and the world is changed.
Please believe that you are marching and the road you are driving, and the soldiers will not be let down by the long road.
At this moment, I would like to say to you who have done your best:
2024, to win!
