In the magnificent history of the Chinese nation's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Tengchong City has written pages of heroic and tragic chapters with its indestructible national integrity and deep patriotic feelings. Tengchong, a city of heroes located in the southwest border of China, not only witnessed the historic victory of the first city that the Chinese army heroically recaptured from the Japanese invaders during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but also made future generations remember that period of heart-wrenching years with its fearless spirit.
The 127 days of the Tengchong Battle were the epitome of the Chinese nation's indomitable and heroic struggle, and demonstrated the amazing perseverance and sacrifice spirit displayed by the Chinese people under extremely difficult conditions. This battle was not only a military victory, but also a great victory for the spirit of the Chinese nation. Countless heroes and martyrs have defended the dignity of this land with their lives. At the end of the battle, the people of Tengchong did not forget the scars of history when mourning the sacrificed warriors, and they expressed their condemnation and contempt for the invaders in a unique and shocking way - at the foot of the beautiful Laifeng Mountain, the bones of the invaders were arranged in a five-flower posture, facing the national memorial cemetery on the top of the mountain, so that they would always bow down to the heroic souls of the martyrs to atone for their sins. This measure is not only a deep memory of the deceased heroes, but also a warning to future generations, demonstrating the unyielding backbone of the Tengchong people and their deep feelings for their family and country.
In the face of the Japanese side's request to change its position, dismantle the statue symbolizing historical memory, and transfer the remains of the invaders back to China, the people of Tengchong showed admirable backbone and resoluteness in the face of the Japanese side's attempt to use huge investment as bait. They flatly rejected this investment worth billions, preferring to endure material barrenness rather than betray history and tarnish the name of the martyrs. This perseverance is the maintenance of the dignity of the country and the inheritance of the national spirit, so Tengchong is known as the "most backbone city".
Not only that, Tengchong still adheres to the principle of not providing accommodation services and no food supply of any kind to the Japanese, as a memory of history and education for future generations. This seemingly tough stance is actually a cherishing of peace and a defense of justice, and it is Tengchong people's practical actions to declare to the world: history cannot be tampered with and dignity is inviolable.
The story of Tengchong is the epitome of the Chinese people's courage to resist against strong enemies, and it is a glorious chapter that every Chinese should remember. It tells us that true prosperity is not only material abundance, but also spiritual perseverance and profound respect for the history of the nation. Let us pay our highest respect to the people of Tengchong, whose anti-Japanese spirit and patriotic feelings will always inspire future generations to move forward and continue to write the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in the new era. With those ancestors, we have the current we, and praise those heroes.
