People's Daily Commentary: Salute to heroes and become heroes

Source: People's Daily - Opinion Channel Original draft

Revering heroes and learning from heroes is undoubtedly the loudest main theme.

On September 2, the remains of the eighth batch of martyrs of the Korean Chinese Volunteer Army returned to the motherland, and "the mountains and rivers are unharmed, and the heroes return to their hometowns" became the barrage of "hegemonic screens". On September 3, the message "Remember history, my generation is self-reliant" "brushed" the circle of friends, and countless netizens used it to commemorate the heroes of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

The torrent of heroes gathers in the network, and the act of paying tribute to heroes is also staged in reality. "The motherland has not forgotten you, thank you!" The families of the volunteer martyrs and veterans became "important guests" on the flight, and the crew paid tribute to them through the radio. "When you grow up, you must guard the motherland like your father." A sentence in "The First Lesson of School" by the daughter of "The Model of the Times" Razini Bayka sowed the seeds of the Pamir eagle for children.

While these fragments move us, they also declare to the world that the Chinese nation is a nation that admires heroes and is a nation full of heroes.

In the long river of history, when the Chinese nation is facing the critical juncture of life and death, countless sons and daughters of the Chinese nation have stepped forward to defend justice with blood and exchange their lives for peace. In the era of quiet years, there are also people in every peaceful and smooth day who silently pay and carry the weight for us.

Today, "learning from heroes and becoming heroes" is the consensus of the whole society. Reshaping ourselves with heroic feelings, demeanor and conviction, building a socialist modern power, and forging ahead for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation have been the goals of the sons and daughters of China.

To learn from heroes, we must strengthen historical responsibility with heroic feelings. Huang Jiguang, Dong Cunrui, Qiu Shaoyun... Behind these familiar names are the noble feelings of martyrs fearless and martyred for their homeland, and they are also beacons and coordinates for us to forge ahead with strong ambitions and courage. At present, the world's major changes unprecedented in a century are accelerating, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period. In the face of a more complicated situation and more arduous tasks, we can only continue the heroic spirit of the martyrs who "profit from the life and death of the country, and avoid the fate of the country because of misfortunes", and shoulder the heavy historical task of realizing the happiness of the people and the prosperity and strength of the country with a charging posture and fearless courage.

To learn from heroes, we must nourish the grandeur and righteousness with the style of heroes. In China, there is a kind of open-mindedness called Yuan Longping. He used a seed to help billions of Chinese stay away from hunger. In China, there is a kind of responsibility, called Wu Mengchao. With his hands, he restored more than 16,000 patients with hepatobiliary diseases to their health. They have exhausted their life's energy, just to let the people experience the feeling of "no worries about medical treatment". The soldiers of the country are gone, and the style is long-lasting. Nowadays, under the influence of the spirit of the master and the style of the national soldiers, the young people of the times have practiced their skills and tempered their will, and strived to forge themselves into elite soldiers who can benefit mankind and change the world.

To learn from heroes, we must strengthen our will to struggle with the belief of heroes. "The enemy can only cut off our heads, and must not shake our faith." During the revolutionary period, countless heroic martyrs regarded death as a homecoming, and the oath of great righteousness vividly expressed their firm devotion to lofty ideals. In their hearts, faith is the source of strength, the basis of action, and the truth that inspires perseverance and perseverance. Now that a new journey has begun, what we are doing and will do is an unprecedented feat. Every step we take, every height we climb, we need to turn the belief of the hero into the calcium of our own spirit, strengthen our hearts and strengthen our bodies, and bravely move forward.

September 8 marks the first anniversary of the National Commendation Conference for Fighting COVID-19. In 2020, in the name of the country, we would like to pay the highest respect to the "angel white", "olive green", "guardian blue" and "volunteer red" in the battle against the epidemic. Today, we swear to them in the name of heroes: I will be you!
