The iron heart casts loyalty to the party, and the red education spectrum is a new chapter. On the evening of April 29, the "Red Epaulette" launched by the Propaganda and Culture Center of the Political Work Department of the People's Armed Police Force entered Songjiang for the first time and was performed at the Songjiang Campus of the Political College of the National Defense University. Nearly 1,000 representatives of government agencies, retired soldiers, and college students watched the heroic stories on the spot and felt the sincere demeanor of the people's defenders.
The sonorous and powerful "Song of Red Epa......ulettes" resounded throughout the venue, and the performance also kicked off in singing. As the whistle sounded, the soldiers were assembled, and in the questions and answers between the lecturer and the soldiers, the audience gradually approached the moving stories of Sun Mingli, Chen Jiazheng, Guo Youwei, and Wang Anping.
The battle alarm sounded suddenly, the torrential rain hit the mountainous area, and Sun Mingli, an officer and soldier of the armed police, rushed to the front line of emergency assistance. In order to rescue an old man who had fallen into the water, he had saved 52 people, and threw himself into the biting cold water again. During the 7 hours he was trapped with the old man, he kept talking and inspiring the old man's fighting spirit to survive. The old man was rescued, but Sun Mingli disappeared into the flood and never drank the bowl of spicy soup he promised the old man...... Sun Mingli's stage story touched people's hearts and left a deep impression on many audiences. "His story reminds me of my military career and pays tribute to the officers and men of the armed police who are not afraid of sacrifice and move forward bravely. Gu Junjie, a retired soldier, said.
The "red epaulettes" are a distinctive symbol of the armed police force and an important symbol of loyal guards. According to reports, the performance integrates a variety of artistic expressions such as video, songs, dances, etc., based on the true stories of many advanced and typical members of the Armed Police Force, and through the four parts of "Iron and Blood Loyalty", "Unity", "Courage and Fearlessness" and "Dedication without Regrets", it shows the loyal footprints and construction achievements of the Armed Police Force on the road of reconstruction and remodeling since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. "It is hoped that through this performance, we will carry forward the spirit of forging ahead and working hard, and let the 'red epaulettes' of the new era be passed on from generation to generation. The person in charge of the event said.
