Recently, the public account of "Yulin Yuyang District Military Tourism Cultural Park" released the news: On the morning of July 20, 2021, the Memorial Hall of Self-Defense and Counterattack operations on the Sino-Vietnamese Border in the Military Tourism Cultural Park in Shaanxi Province was officially opened. Chinese General Qian Shugen, former deputy chief of general staff of the People's Liberation Army, Lieutenant General Zou Gengren and Lieutenant General Zhang Jiansheng, former deputy commanders of the Lanzhou Military Region, Lieutenant General Dong Chao, Major General Liu Peigeng, former director of the Political Department of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region, Major General Lan Xiaojun, former deputy political commissar of the Gansu Provincial Military Region, Major General Chen Deguang, former deputy commander of the Shaanxi Provincial Military Region, Miao Feng, first-level inspector of the Yulin Municipal CPC Committee and secretary of the Yuyang District CPC Committee, Zhao Shixing, director of the External Liaison Office of the Yulin Airport Ecological Zone Management Committee, and other principal leaders at the military and prefectural levels attended the opening ceremony.
Shaanxi Saishang Military Tourism Cultural Park is the only Sino-Vietnamese War-themed memorial hall in China built by individual investment. In order to remember history and remember heroes, since 2020, Mr. Ma Zhijun has fully prepared and built the Sino-Vietnamese Border War Memorial Hall and the Southern Xinjiang Memory Museum in May this year. With the theme of the Sino-Vietnamese border war, the two museums highlight the "LaoShan Spirit" of the people's heroes who are "not afraid of suffering, not afraid of death, not afraid of loss", "hard work" and "selfless dedication", and compose a song of life hymns for defending the family and defending the country!
The construction of the "Sino-Vietnamese Self-Defense Counterattack Memorial Hall" is a must, and it is urgent! Provide an emotional home for the vast number of veterans who participated in the war, provide a place for patriotic education for all sectors of society, especially the young generation, let the younger generation understand the latest war in New China, carry forward the spirit of revolutionary heroism, remember the great achievements of the martyrs, and stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm of young people.
However, Xiaobian believes that the Sino-Vietnamese Self-Defense Counterattack Memorial Hall is located in Shaanxi and the address is not appropriate. Although Shaanxi is also an old revolutionary area, the main battlefield of the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack is in Guangxi and Yunnan, not Shaanxi, shaanxi does not have the remnants of the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack, which is the most critical, and at the same time, in the region, the veterans who participated in the war have no sense of belonging, a sense of identity, and will not resonate with the younger generation.

Xiao Bian believes that the Sino-Vietnamese Self-Defense Counterattack Memorial Hall should be located in the birthplace of the war: the border between Guangxi and Yunnan, and it can be selected at Laoshan Mountain in Yunnan, Tinghao Mountain in Jingxi County, Guangxi (the place where the first shot of Sino-Vietnamese self-defense was fired), Guangxi Pingxiang's Friendship Pass, and Faka Mountain. There are ready-made war relics and a powerful martyrs' cemetery, which is the most suitable.
Of course, on September 3, 1990, the leaders of the country reached an agreement in Chengdu with Nguyen Van Linh, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, that the two sides would no longer mention the Sino-Vietnamese war (which is the main reason why the Sino-Vietnamese self-defense counterattack war disappeared in the major media). In order not to cause displeasure to the other party, when choosing the name of the museum, it is appropriate to avoid it.
