Youth and faith in the fires of war

There are such a group of elderly people who are ordinary, persistent, cordial, and conscientious; they teach young party members to stick to a heart of loyalty to the party, let young party members tighten a string of adhering to discipline, and show young cadres a way to exalt their ideals.

The red memory is indelible and unforgettable. Although people are old, the party's heart is still there. Veteran party members are heroes in the cause of the party and the people and are the "treasure" within our party.
