On April 23, the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Navy, the Naval Museum ushered in a large number of visitors from all over the world to celebrate this day. Among them, many old navies are full of excitement, coming here to relive the past of struggle on the blue sea frontier and feel the rapid development of naval equipment.

Climb on the "aircraft carrier deck" and gallop thousands of miles across the seaOn the morning of April 23, the Naval Museum was crowded.
"My family lives nearby, I come a lot, and as an old navy I like to come. And every time I come I feel fresh. Although I have been away from the army for many years, I am still proud to see the development of our navy today. 72-year-old Ma Shijie wore a Liaoning ship hat and couldn't help but take a group photo in front of the huge model of the Liaoning ship. He has served in the South China Sea Fleet for more than 10 years, and he can better understand the hard-won development of the Chinese Navy today.
Indeed, in the Naval Museum, the audience can revisit the road of the Chinese Navy in the past 75 years. As the only military museum in mainland China that reflects the development of the Chinese Navy, the Naval Museum is the historical, spiritual and cultural highland of the People's Navy. The Naval Museum has a land area of 141.1 acres and a sea area of 225 acres, and was officially opened to the public in October 1989. Here, you can see the development and growth of the Chinese Navy in various periods starting from the establishment of the first naval unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army - the East China Military Region Navy in Baima Temple in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province on April 23, 1949, with precious historical materials and cultural relics as evidence; you can see the shining names of heroes imprinted in the construction of the Great Wall on the sea; and you can see a new chapter in the modern navy.
The narrator will explain on the spot.
During the visit, the audience felt empathy and was moved several times. Among them, in front of the sculpture ""Guardian of the Sea and Air" Wang Wei", people have stood for a long time. The audience can see the flight helmet and other items he used before his death up close, and everyone who walks through here will shout the phrase "Call 81192, please return immediately".
Today, the strength of China's navy is where people's sense of security lies. In the "Great New Voyage" immersive experience area, the audience can even board the "aircraft carrier deck" and truly feel the thrill of the battle at sea through the immersive experience brought by the screen in front of them, and feel the gallop of the aircraft carrier on the sea frontier.
It can be said that a visit to the Naval Museum is a solemn march and a journey full of interesting discoveries.
Here, the audience is blown away all the time, and one of the scenes is given by the walls full of ship hats. In the interactive session of "My Hometown, My Ship", the audience can click on the icon of their city to query the corresponding ship of the city. Navy ships are floating land, and when the name of hometown appears on the warships one after another, the audience can feel more and more proud of it.
The audience boarded the Yangtze River ship to visit.
Hou Lianping, 73 years old this year, experienced with great interest the action of an aircraft carrier aircraft giving take-off orders in the interactive area, "Let's go!"
"I am very proud, very happy, and very excited about a strong navy! The country is strong, and the people's lives are more energetic. Although Hou Lianping has never been a soldier, as a teacher, he has been all over the world all over his life, and many students have become soldiers, which is what he is most willing to see. "I visited the Naval Museum today and was especially proud to see the former warships and also to see our advanced weapons and equipment. And those heroes are a great encouragement to us. It is they who tell us that the sacrifices and efforts of the Chinese nation from generation to generation have won us a better life today. He said emotionally.

The 78-year-old navy has been visiting warships in Qingdao once in five years"I came to Qingdao once in five years, and it changed a lot. Xu Baorong, 78 years old this year, came to the Naval Museum and looked very excited. Especially on a special day like Navy Day, it is more commemorative for an old navy like him.
This time, Xu Baorong, who lives in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu, took his wife and a family of four to Qingdao to visit the Naval Museum, and the next day he also made an appointment to visit the open activities of the ships at Pier No. 3. And in order to grab this ticket, he mobilized his whole family to go into battle, and finally grabbed it at the end and fulfilled his wish. "He has a naval complex, and he has come to Qingdao three or four times once in five years. My family travels to these places related to the navy. He's so old, and he always has to follow him. "My wife Bao Yuqin is 77 years old this year, she understands Xu Baorong's naval complex very well, and is very supportive of both at home and out.
Xu Baorong joined the army at the age of 17, the youngest of their group of people who came to Qingdao from their hometown of Zhangjiagang to join the army. At that time, the fleet he served in was located in Shazikou, Qingdao, and it can be said that his youth was dedicated here and to the maritime frontier of the motherland. After changing careers, he entered the system to work, but this naval complex has not been forgotten, and it has become stronger and stronger as time goes by. "Today, I visited the Naval Museum, and after visiting the four exhibition halls, I feel that the development of the Navy has changed too much! The tonnage of the ships is much larger than ours at that time! Seeing this, I am even more proud and proud!" As he spoke, he couldn't help waving the naval flag in his hand.
Like Xu Baorong, there were many gray-haired veterans among the tourists who visited the Naval Museum that day. On April 23, the special day of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Navy, veterans gathered. Here, they can feel the glorious road they have walked, and they can feel the strength of the Chinese Navy in the new era. In the past 75 years, the People's Navy has been striving to forge a strong maritime force that must conquer and defend in the midst of strong winds and waves, open seas and oceans, and make unremitting efforts to build a powerful and modern navy.
