In the long river of history, some moments are fixed as eternal, and some actions are remembered as legends. On April 3, 2024, Ningxia Guyuan staged a shocking feat: more than 2,300 teachers and students walked 54 kilometers round trip, lasting 16 hours, to the Renshanhe Martyrs Cemetery in Pengyang County to pay tribute to the revolutionary martyrs.
It's not just a simple trip of remembrance, it's a 29-year-old tradition. As the ancients said: "The road is long, and I will go up and down to seek." What kind of power does this unremitting pursuit and exploration bring?

When the bell struck at half past four in the morning, most of the people were still immersed in dreams, and the teachers and students of Guyuan No. 2 Middle School and Hongwen Middle School were ready to go. They lined up in a neat line, walked with firm steps, accompanied by loud singing, and marched towards the Renshanhe Martyrs Cemetery. Along the way, they will trek through the flat and the rugged, through the cold wind, rain and snow, and write the next hymn of faith and courage.
Citizens and parents along the way cheered for them, and many of them had tears in their eyes when they looked at this group of high-spirited teenagers. Yes, this is a 54-kilometer long march, a baptism of youth. They support each other, move forward hand in hand, and never give up even when they fall. This solidarity and mutual assistance are like a warm current that warms everyone's heart.
After more than five hours of trekking, the teachers and students finally arrived at their destination. In front of the martyrs' cemetery, they stood in silence and laid flower baskets, revealing endless respect for the martyrs with every action. At this moment, all the fatigue seems to disappear, replaced by reverence and reflection on the hero. They carefully wiped the tombstones, offered small white flowers, and every detail looked extraordinarily solemn.
After the event, the students embarked on their way home. Although the body is tired, the heart is full and satisfied. They not only experienced a touch of their hearts, but also deeply understood the hard-won happiness of today's life. This lesson is not only about the knowledge transfer of history, but also a vivid lesson about faith, responsibility and responsibility.
