The general secretary spoke of heroes

"A nation with hope cannot do without heroes, and a country with a future cannot do without pioneers."

Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has attached great importance to praising heroic models and carrying forward the heroic spirit, stepping on heroes and remembering heroic martyrs all over the country, telling heroic and touching stories on many occasions, expressing reverence for heroes, and calling on the whole party and the whole country to advocate heroes, defend heroes, learn from heroes, and care for heroes. The general secretary emphasized: "Advocating heroes will produce heroes, and striving to be heroes can produce heroes." ”

Heroes are the most shining coordinates of the nation. In the long history of civilization of the Chinese nation for more than 5,000 years, whenever there is a critical moment of life and death, there are always countless heroes and sons and daughters who can sing and cry and move forward generously.

Since modern times, especially since the founding of the Communist Party of China, in order to win national independence and the liberation of the people, realize the prosperity and strength of the country, and the happiness of the people, countless revolutionary martyrs have unswervingly made unswerving efforts and gone forward to succeed each other, and countless ordinary heroes have struggled hard and made selfless contributions, composing heroic songs that swallow mountains and rivers.

They are like stars, lamps, and clusters of fire, shining in the sky and illuminating the earth, promoting the continuous development and growth of the Chinese nation and illuminating the glorious future of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Never Forget——

"The Republic is red, and this color cannot be diluted. The blood of countless martyrs has stained our banner red, and we will never be able to build the republic they aspire to, strive for, and sacrifice for. ”

On the north-south axis of Tiananmen Square, the Monument to the People's Heroes stands majestically.

On November 29, 2012, shortly after the conclusion of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping walked into the National Museum on the east side of the Monument to the People's Heroes to visit the "Road to Rejuvenation" exhibition. The general secretary pointed out: "After modern times, the chinese nation has suffered a lot of suffering and made great sacrifices, which are rare in world history. ”

The October Revolution brought Marxism-Leninism to China with the sound of a cannon. The spread of Marxism-Leninism in China promoted the great awakening of the Chinese people, gave birth to the Communist Party of China, and lit up the light of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

"China must have a bright future to be praised." In that stormy era, Fang Zhimin and countless other benevolent people were so full of expectations and expectations.

In 1922, Fang Zhimin joined the Chinese Socialist Youth League. When he became a member of the Communist Party of China in March 1924, he wrote excitedly: "From now on, everything about me, until my life, was handed over to the Party." ”

In 1935, Fang Zhimin was unfortunately arrested. In prison, in the face of the enemy's severe punishment and abduction, he was awe-inspiring and unyielding. Under extremely difficult conditions, he still wrote famous chapters such as "Lovely China" and "Qing Poverty", which became the spiritual food for generations of Chinese Communists and gave great spiritual encouragement to countless Chinese sons and daughters.

On May 22, 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in an important speech at the end of the inspection work in Jiangxi: "'The enemy can only cut off our heads and must never shake our faith', which is the Zhengzheng oath left by Comrade Fang Zhimin before his sacrifice." ”

"The light of ideals does not extinguish, and the light of faith does not extinguish." General Secretary Xi Jinping has told the touching stories of many revolutionary martyrs who forgot to pursue the light of ideals and sacrificed their lives to protect the flame of faith on different occasions.

-- "Before the martyr Liu Renkan was inaugurated, the enemy brutally cut off his tongue, and he still wrote 'Long live the success of the revolution' with his feet dipped in the blood that flowed. ”

- "Martyr Jiang Shanzhong left a blood letter, 'Death to the underworld does not rebel against water, protect the Communist Party for ten thousand years'." ”

-- "In his imprisonment, Xia Minghan was unyielding, and in his family letter to his wife, he issued a heroic oath of 'upholding the revolution and inheriting my ambitions, and vowing to pass on the truth to the world'. ”

——"In the Battle of xiangjiang, the deeds of Chen Shuxiang's martyr 'broken intestines and mingzhi' were very touching, and it was really 'a thousand drops of Red Army blood in every inch of land, a heroic body step by step'. ”

……

For the sake of the ideal of "lovely China," countless revolutionary martyrs held high the torch of faith and stepped into the torrent of history for national independence and people's liberation without hesitation. They are not afraid of danger, they go forward, they fight with blood and perseverance.

On July 24, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in an important speech at the end of the inspection work in Jilin Province: "During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, under extremely harsh conditions, General Yang Jingyu led the anti-Japanese armed forces to brave the severe cold of minus forty degrees Celsius, and the enemy who was several times larger than himself fought in blood, and when he sacrificed, his stomach was full of dry grass, bark, cotton wool, and there was not a single grain of grain, and his deeds were shocking. ”

On September 18, 1931, Japanese imperialism created the September 18 Incident and began to invade and occupy northeast China on a large scale. In 1932, Yang Jingyu was entrusted by the Party Central Committee to organize an anti-Japanese coalition army in the northeast and led the northeast military and civilians to fight a bloody battle with the Japanese and Kou in the White Mountains and Black Water. In the face of the crazy suppression of the Japanese army, Yang Jingyu was full of fighting spirit: "The revolution is like fire, let the snow seal the mountains, birds and beasts hide, as long as we have fire, we can drive away the cold and bring light and warmth." ”

In February 1940, Yang Jingyu was alone in the situation of ice and snow and running out of food, and after five days and nights of fighting, he died heroically in Mengjiang County (present-day Jingyu County, Jilin Province).

In the difficult times of the world, the times make heroes. In the great struggle of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which was a struggle to save the chinese nation from extinction and survive, the sons and daughters of china did not hesitate to throw their heads and spill their blood for the independence and freedom of the Chinese nation; their mothers sent their children to fight the Japanese Kou, their wives sent their husbands to the battlefield, and men, women, and children mobilized together.

In 2014, the year was noon. At the ceremony to commemorate the 77th anniversary of the outbreak of the National War of Resistance, General Secretary Xi Jinping fondly told the story of a heroic mother's War of Resistance: "A mother named Deng Yufen in Miyun County, Beijing, sent her husband and 5 children to the front line, and they all died on the battlefield. ”

In the face of the heavy blow, Deng Yufen gritted his teeth and persevered. The smile on her face was less, but she worked more actively against the day and was more affectionate with her children.

In August 1945, Chinese min finally defeated the Japanese invaders, Deng Yufen tearfully, and comforted her husbands and sons under the Nine Springs: We have won! Before dying in February 1970, Deng Yufen said to the villagers: "Bury me on the side of the road, I will watch the children come back." ”

In the arduous War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese people fought a strong enemy with iron bones, built the Great Wall with flesh and blood, and successively went to the country to make trouble, composing a majestic epic poem that shocked the world and wept ghosts, and won China's first complete victory against foreign invasion in modern times.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the symposium commemorating the 69th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War: "Yang Jingyu, Zhao Shangzhi, Zuo Quan, Peng Xuefeng, Tong Linge, Zhao Dengyu, Zhang Zizhong, Dai Anlan and a number of other anti-Japanese generals, the Eighth Route Army's 'Five Heroes of Wolf's Tooth Mountain', the New Fourth Army's 'Liu Laozhuang Company', the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance's eight female fighters, the Kuomintang Army's 'Eight Hundred Heroes' and many other heroic groups are outstanding representatives of the Chinese people who are not afraid of violence and martyrdom. ”

In the War of Liberation, the Communist Party of China closely relied on the masses of the people, gained overwhelming strength, put an end to the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang, and established a brand-new people's republic.

"Without sparing the head of the new homeland, Gan will be willing to fertilize China with blood." In order to strive for national independence and people's liberation, countless revolutionary martyrs bravely marched forward to build a great wall of steel to save the nation from peril and defend national dignity. According to incomplete statistics, from 1921 to 1949, there were more than 3.7 million well-known martyrs in the revolutionary ranks led by the Party.

General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed: "The republic is red, and this color cannot be diluted." The blood of countless martyrs has stained our banner red, and we will never be able to build the republic they aspire to, strive for, and sacrifice for. "We must remember the last wishes of the martyrs and never forget the great ideal for which they shed blood and sacrificed."

Never out of date -

"The Chinese nation is a nation that admires heroes, achieves heroes, and is full of heroes, and heroic feelings are also needed in peacetime."

On October 1, 2019, the general meeting to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China was held. In the parade of airborne combat vehicles, a battle flag covered with 381 bullet holes preserved during the Campaign to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in Shangganling was particularly eye-catching.

At the beginning of the founding of New China, a hundred wastes were waiting to be rebuilt, a hundred industries were waiting to be lifted, and the people of Chinese were extremely eager for peace and tranquility. However, the United States burned the flames of the Korean War to the border between China and North Korea, and the nascent people's power faced a severe test.

On the Korean battlefield, the volunteer soldiers faced a powerful and fierce combat opponent, in a harsh and cruel battlefield environment, threw their heads and spilled their blood, and used "less steel and more gas" to overcome "more steel and less gas", composing a majestic epic poem that shocked the world and wept ghosts.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Chinese Volunteer Army's war to resist US aggression and aid Korea: "Among them, more than 300,000 heroes and heroes such as Yang Gensi, Huang Jiguang, and Qiu Shaoyun have emerged, and nearly 6,000 heroes have emerged. The heroes said: Behind us is the motherland, for the peace of the people of the motherland, we cannot take a step back! This bloodiness frightens the enemy and moves the heavens and the earth! ”

"Punch a punch, so as not to have a hundred punches coming." After this war, imperialism no longer dared to make an attempt to invade New China by force, and New China really gained a firm foothold and won a peaceful environment for construction for a long time.

However, the situation of nuclear blackmail and nuclear monopoly in the international arena is still grim. Countless scientific and technological workers have taken root in the Gobi wasteland, fought in deep mountains and valleys, cast heavy instruments for big countries, and erected wordless monuments one after another.

Qian Xuesen, the founder of the "two bombs and one satellite," was a people's scientist who enjoyed high prestige in the history of New China. When New China was founded, Qian Xuesen, who had already achieved fame, had a generous work and living treatment in the United States, but he always cared about the development of the motherland. In October 1955, Qian Xuesen finally broke through all kinds of resistance and set foot on the land of the motherland with his wife and children. He said emotionally: "I have always believed: I will be able to return to the motherland, and today, I finally come back!" ”

Deng Jiaxian, the "founder of the two bombs," made outstanding contributions to the development of China's atomic and hydrogen bombs. In 1950, at the age of 26, Deng Jiaxian received a doctorate in physics in the United States. With the most advanced knowledge of physics at that time, he returned from overseas to serve the motherland. He has long been an unsung hero, integrating the light of his youth into the "iron backbone" of China's nuclear defense forces. In the last month of his life, his 28 years of secret work experience were revealed.

The historic achievements made in China's scientific and technological undertakings are the result of successive generations of scientists who are committed to serving the country and continuing to struggle.

In September 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the symposium of scientists: "From a large number of scientists of the older generation such as Li Siguang, Qian Xuesen, Qian Sanqiang, Deng Jiaxian, etc., to a large number of outstanding scientists who have grown up after the founding of New China, such as Chen Jingrun, Huang Danian and Nan Rendong, they are all models of patriotic scientists. ”

Countless heroic models have done incognito and buried celebrities and done earth-shattering things, showing a great realm of selflessness; there are also countless heroic models who have adhered to the ideal and belief of serving the people with one heart and have composed heroic songs that touched the world with their lifelong efforts.

On March 17, 2014, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Lankao County, Henan Province, the contact point for his second batch of the party's mass line education practice activities. As soon as he arrived in Lankao, the general secretary came to the Comrade Jiao Yulu Memorial Hall. Inside the memorial hall, there is an endless stream of people from all over the country who come to visit and study. When he met party members and cadres who came to visit and study, the general secretary said: "We have come for the same purpose, and I have also come to study. ”

Jiao Yulu, "a good example of the secretary of the county party committee," led the Lankao people in the struggle to seal sand, control water, and change land. His heart was filled with cadres and masses of the whole county, but there was no himself. On May 14, 1964, Jiao Yulu was killed by liver cancer at the age of 42. On his deathbed, he made his only request to the organization: "Transport me back to Lankao and bury me in the sand." I didn't cure the dunes when I was alive, and when I died, I wanted to watch you cure the dunes. ”

General Secretary Xi Jinping has told the story of Jiao Yulu many times, and has repeatedly emotionally recalled the scene of learning Jiao Yulu more than 40 years ago. The general secretary said: "Our generation is deeply influenced by Jiao Yulu's spirit and grew up under the education of Jiao Yulu's deeds. He also wrote a poem "Nian Nu Jiao, Remembrance of Jiao Yulu", pinning his respect and remembrance on Jiao Yulu, calling on party members and cadres to "twilight snow and frost, do not change the heroic spirit."

Although Jiao Yulu only lived for 42 years, his heroic deeds touched generations of Chinese. Similarly, the old hero Zhang Fuqing has hidden his meritorious name for more than 60 years, and he has adhered to his original intention and not changed his true colors all his life, and his deeds are very touching.

Zhang Fuqing was once a commando of the Northwest Field Army, braved the rain of bullets and bullets, made outstanding battle achievements, and was a combat hero of Dong Cunrui's style. In 1955, he retired from the army and changed careers, taking the initiative to choose to work in Laifeng County, the most remote county in Hubei Province, and quietly dedicated his life to the poor mountainous areas.

From the day he changed careers, Zhang Fuqing "sealed" all the memories of his military achievements and said nothing about his children. Even though his life was not prosperous, he did not make any demands on the organization. It was not until the end of 2018, when the state launched a registration of veteran information, that his hidden achievements for more than half a century were discovered.

In May 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping made important instructions on the advanced deeds of Comrade Zhang Fuqing, stressing: "He wrote a wonderful life with his simplicity and purity, indifferent to fame and fortune, and is an example for the vast number of officers and soldiers of the army and retired soldiers to learn." It is necessary to actively carry forward the spirit of dedication and gather the powerful force of all people to strive for the new era. ”

On July 26 of the same year, General Secretary Xi Jinping met with all the representatives of the National Conference on Veterans Work in Beijing. Seeing Zhang Fuqing, a 94-year-old hero sitting in a wheelchair, the general secretary leaned down, clasped the old man's hand with both hands, and said affectionately: "You are a model for the whole party and the people of the whole country!" Take care of your body, live a long and healthy life. ”

The camera freezes the moment when General Secretary Xi Jinping leans over and shakes hands, and records the unforgettable moment when the top leaders of our party and state paid tribute to the heroes. That sentiment will always flow in the hearts of hundreds of millions of people.

For the thousands of heroic martyrs who sacrificed for the country, General Secretary Xi Jinping is always concerned.

Fushun, Liaoning, on the south bank of the Hun River, the lei feng tomb surrounded by cypress is particularly solemn and solemn. On the morning of September 28, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping came here to present flower baskets to Lei Feng's tomb and visited the Lei Feng Memorial Hall. In the exhibition halls such as "Brilliant Life" and "Eternal Spirit", in front of Lei Feng's handwriting, relics, photos and other exhibits, the general secretary stopped from time to time to watch and concentrate on thinking.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Lei Feng is a model of the times, and the spirit of Lei Feng is eternal. To realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we need more models of the times. We must not only learn from Lei Feng's spirit, but also learn from Lei Feng's practices, transform lofty ideals and beliefs and moral character pursuits into concrete actions, reflect them in ordinary work and life, make our due contributions, and pass on the spirit of Lei Feng from generation to generation. ”

The spirit of Lei Feng has been passed down from generation to generation, and a batch of advanced models of Lei Feng style have emerged continuously, writing the story of Lei Feng in different eras. Wang Jie, a contemporary of Lei Feng, wrote in his diary: "To be a man is to be a Lei Feng-style person with communist morality and serving the people wholeheartedly." ”

On July 14, 1965, in order to cover the safety of the 12 militia and people's armed forces cadres present, Wang Jiefen threw himself at the explosive package that had accidentally exploded, and his life was frozen at the age of 23 forever.

On December 13, 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the company where Wang Jie was in a brigade of the 71st Group Army, inspected the company honor room, and walked into the "Wang Jieban" to talk with the soldiers. In front of the blood clothes and pen fragments left behind by Wang Jie when he was sacrificed, the general secretary said with emotion: "When I was a child, I knew the story of Wang Jie, and Wang Jie was a hero in my heart!" ”

General Secretary Xi Jinping told the officers and soldiers: "Wang Jie 'does not extend his hand in honor, does not extend his hand in treatment, and does not extend his hand in materials', and this 'three no-hands' is a mirror, and Communist Party members must take a good look at this mirror." The general secretary detailed the deeds of Wang Jie, who were not afraid of suffering and death, and said emotionally that the first is not afraid of suffering and the second is not afraid of death, which is a vivid portrayal of bloody courage and must become the motto of revolutionary soldiers. The general secretary stressed: "The spirit of Wang Jie was, is, and will always be our precious spiritual wealth, and we must learn and practice the spirit of Wang Jie and let the spirit of Wang Jie shine with the light of the new era." ”

The spirit of Wang Jie will always be our precious spiritual wealth, and oil worker Wang Jinxi has dedicated his life to the oil industry of the motherland without reservation, leaving behind the "iron man spirit" of arrogance and dryness.

In 1960, faced with the urgent need for oil in national construction, Wang Jinxi led the "1205" drilling team to Daqing to participate in the oil conference. At the beginning of the battle, great difficulties were encountered in life and production, and Wang Jinxi shouted out the heroic slogan of "if there are conditions to go up, if there are no conditions to create conditions, we must also go up", people pulled shoulders to carry drilling rigs, and buckets of pots and buckets to carry water to rush to open the drill, and it took only 5 days and 4 hours to complete the first oil well of the Battle of Daqing.

When the second well was hit, a blowout occurred, and Wang Jinxi could not care about his leg injury, jumped into the waist-deep mud pool and stirred the mud with his body, and finally subdued the blowout.

On April 28, 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in a discussion with the national model labor representatives: "Wang Jinxi, with the spirit of 'preferring to live 20 years less, and desperately try to win the big oil field', led the oil workers to work tenaciously for the development of China's petroleum industry, and the 'iron man spirit' and 'Daqing spirit' have become a powerful spiritual force that inspires the people of all ethnic groups to devote themselves to socialist construction." ”

Heroes never go away, and heroic spirit never goes out of style. Countless heroic models have bravely undertaken the mission with pure feelings, self-reliance, anger and strength, and selfless dedication to achieve national prosperity and selfless dedication, which will always be where our courage and strength to continuously forge ahead lie.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The Chinese nation is a nation that advocates heroes, achieves heroes, and heroes are born, and heroic feelings are also needed in peacetime. For all heroic and exemplary figures who have made dedication and sacrifices for the party, the country, and the people, we must carry forward their spirit, draw strength from them, and work together to fight tenaciously, arduously, and unremittingly for the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. ”

Moving forward——

"In the extraordinary course of China's socialist revolution, construction and reform, generation after generation of strivers have stubbornly struggled and struggled unremittingly, and countless heroic models have emerged that have touched the heavens and the earth. With wisdom and sweat, and even blood and life, they have written a magnificent chapter of song and tears for the prosperity and strength of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the happiness of the people. ”

In Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province, there is a courtyard called "The Farmer's House of the Year". The fence yard and thatched house reproduce the production and life scenes from the 1960s to the 1980s.

In 1978, Anhui suffered a drought rarely seen in a century. At that time, Xiaogang Village was a well-known "three-dependent village" -- eating grain was sold back, production depended on loans, and livelihood depended on relief. In the winter of that year, 18 villagers in Xiaogang Village gathered in this thatched house, and under the fire of the kerosene lamp jumping, they pressed the red handprint on a "secret contract" divided into fields and households, and agreed to pack the dry to the households, thus opening the prelude to China's rural reform. The 18 leaders of the "big package" have also become "popular" because of the reform.

The "big bag of dry work" has greatly mobilized the production enthusiasm of the small post people. The following year, Xiaogang ushered in a bumper harvest, with a total grain output of 133,000 catties, which is the sum of the output of the previous ten years.

On April 25, 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping came here to wander through the courtyard and relive the reform process. The general secretary pointed out: "What was done with the life of the family in those years has become a thunderclap of China's reform and a symbol of China's reform." ”

The people regard food as the sky, and the grain is abundant and the world is safe. Since ancient times, ensuring food security has always been the top priority in governing the country and the country.

Yuan Longping, who has devoted his life to the research, application and promotion of hybrid rice technology, has made outstanding contributions to China's food security, agricultural science development and world food supply, and is known as the "father of hybrid rice".

On April 28, 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the representatives of model workers in the organs of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions to celebrate Labor Day. At the meeting site, Yuan Longping took out two photos of super hybrid rice and handed them to the general secretary. The general secretary stood up, leaned forward, reached out to take the photo, and looked at it carefully. After reading it, the general secretary commented: "Super rice, it is really full of particles. ”

Subsequently, Yuan Longping detailed his research goals and plans. After listening, General Secretary Xi Jinping and everyone warmly applauded the heroism of this old scientist. The general secretary said: "This is a great cause for you, our country, including the whole world, still has to actively strive for food security." ”

Reform and opening up has greatly liberated the thinking of the Chinese people, stimulated people's enthusiasm for innovation and creation, and injected a powerful driving force for innovation and development into China.

Sun Jiadong is a well-known expert in aerospace technology in China and one of the pioneers of Artificial Satellite Technology and Deep Space Exploration Technology in China.

In 2004, China officially launched the lunar exploration project. In the face of this risky work, Sun Jiadong, who has achieved fame and is already 75 years old, does not hesitate to put on the battle again and provoke the heavy responsibility of the chief designer of the project. He said: "The country needs it, I will do it." ”

In 2007, the signal of the Chang'e-1 satellite successfully completing its orbit around the moon was transmitted, and everyone cheered, hugged and shook their arms in the space flight command and control center. Sun Jiadong silently turned around, bowed his head and took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears of excitement.

On April 23, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping replied to Sun Jiadong, Wang Xiji and other veteran scientists who participated in the "Dongfanghong I" mission, pointing out that the merits of the old generation of astronauts have been firmly engraved in the annals of new China.

Our journey is a sea of stars. On the road from a space power to a space power, Chinese astronauts have continuously turned their dreams into reality with solid footprints.

Since the reform and opening up, there have been active creations everywhere, beautiful dreams growing everywhere, and the vigorous national rejuvenation atmosphere of the Chinese land. Heroic models love the party and the country, serve the people wholeheartedly, work tenaciously and hard, and illuminate everyone's spiritual world like a torch.

Yang Shanzhou has practiced the promise of "as long as life does not end, serving the people does not stop" with his life.

In his post, Yang Shanzhou has been dressed in a robe and stepping on grass shoes for decades, walking through every village and stepping on every mountain beam, and is affectionately known as the "secretary of grass shoes"; after retiring at the age of 60, he refused the opportunity to retire in the provincial capital city and returned to his hometown of Shidian, Yunnan, to concentrate on afforestation, one is 22 years, tens of thousands of acres of plantations have been built on bare barren mountains, and people affectionately called "tree planting secretaries".

In April 2009, Yang Shanzhou handed over a forest farm worth 300 million yuan to the state free of charge. In October 2010, 83-year-old Yang Shanzhou died of ineffective medical treatment.

On January 8, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the summary meeting on the theme of "not forgetting the original heart and keeping the mission in mind": "After the founding of New China, it is also because our party has a large number of heroic models such as Jiao Yulu, Gu Wenchang, Yang Shanzhou, and Zhang Fuqing who have taken the lead in setting an example, so as to unite and lead the people to continuously create a new situation in the development of various undertakings. ”

Loyal to the cause and willing to dedicate, Luo Yang, the "heroic model of aviation serving the country", is also one of the outstanding representatives. He has worked diligently and dedicated himself to the front of China's aviation industry for thirty years.

On November 25, 2012, China's first aircraft carrier "Liaoning" successfully took off and landed the J-15 carrier-based aircraft, which was a milestone moment. On this day, Luo Yang, commander-in-chief of the J-15 carrier-based aircraft development site, suddenly fell ill and was ineffective, and he fell on his job forever at the moment of completion of the task, only 51 years old.

The day after Luo Yang's death, General Secretary Xi Jinping made an important instruction pointing out: "Comrade Luo Yang has made outstanding contributions to the development of China's aviation industry by adhering to the ambition of serving the country through aviation, and his untimely death is a major loss for the party and the country." ”

At the two sessions of the National People's Congress the following year, General Secretary Xi Jinping once again called on everyone to learn from Luo Yang's excellent qualities and valuable spirit. The general secretary stressed: "The energy of faith, the great love of the mind, the spirit of selflessness, and the enterprising spirit possessed by Lei Feng, Guo Mingyi and Luo Yang are the best portrayal of our national spirit, and they are all the backbone of our nation." ”

Since the beginning of reform and opening up, an endless stream of heroic models have dared to forge ahead, blaze new trails, and continue to stimulate the enthusiasm of the broad masses of party members, cadres, and the masses of the people to forge ahead in a pioneering spirit and to start a business as an official.

The Eight-Step Sarin Site is located on the southern edge of the Tengger Desert, where wind and sand used to ravage and engulf farmland villages at a rate of 7.5 meters per year.

In the early 1980s, six local villagers, including Guo Chaoming, He Falin, Shi Man, Luo Yuankui, Cheng Hai and Zhang Runyuan, pressed their handprints on the contract and vowed to exchange their white hair for oases. For decades, the three generations of employees of the eight-step sand forest farm represented by the "six old men" have continued to struggle and written a green chapter from "sand forcing people to retreat" to "people entering the sand and retreating".

On August 21, 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping bumped along the gravel road to the eight-step sand forest farm 30 kilometers away from Gulang County to investigate and investigate.

Seeing that several forest farm workers not far away were carrying out the operation of "grass square sand pressing", General Secretary Xi Jinping walked over and asked them how to operate the sand pressing, how much was needed per acre of land, and what role it could play, and picked up a ditching plough and worked with them, and in a few moments, he opened a straight ditch of more than two meters long on the sand.

General Secretary Xi Jinping told the participants: "The heroic deeds of the 'six old men' in the eight-step sand forest field have long been well known, and the new era needs more contemporary fools and models of the times like the 'six old men'. It is necessary to carry forward the spirit of struggle of the 'six old men' who do not bow their heads in the face of difficulties and dare to turn the desert into an oasis, and encourage people to devote themselves to the construction of ecological civilization, continue to work hard, work for a long time, and strive to build a beautiful China. ”

Since the reform and opening up, China has opened the door to integrate into the trend of the times, and it is incumbent upon it to shoulder the mission of escorting world peace. Many heroic Sons and Daughters of China have selflessly dedicated themselves in this responsibility, even at the expense of their own lives.

On September 28, 2015, President Xi Jinping told a moving story when attending the UN Peacekeeping Summit: "Five years ago, Chinese peacekeeping female policewomen and Zhihong tragically died in the line of duty while on a UN peacekeeping mission in Haiti, leaving behind their 4-year-old young son and parents who are over the age of 10. She once wrote: 'In the vast world, I may be just a feather, but I will also carry the wish for peace in the form of a feather.' This is her wish and China's commitment to peace. ”

Chinese peacekeepers and Zhihong were 35 years old when they died in the line of duty in 2010. He Zhihong loves everyone in the family, but her sense of mission makes her not hesitate to go to the front line of peacekeeping.

The tide of reform and opening up has surged from the depths of history and surged towards the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Countless heroes and models have done one line of work, loved one line, dedicated one line, and refined one line, emancipated their minds, forged ahead, actively participated in reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, and established outstanding meritorious deeds for the country and the people.

On December 18, 2018, at the conference celebrating the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, General Secretary Xi Jinping and other party and state leaders collectively stood up and turned around, and about 3,000 representatives from all walks of life stood up and applauded the commended personnel who won the title of reform pioneer, and the applause was warm. The Young Pioneers presented beautiful flowers, raised their right hands, and saluted the team in unison.

This moment is tearful; this scene is extremely inspiring. This is a tribute to reform and opening up, a tribute to heroic models, and an oath to continue to struggle and bravely move forward.

Great times call for great spirits, and noble causes need to be led by example. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that in the extraordinary course of China's socialist revolution, construction and reform, generation after generation of strivers have stubbornly struggled and struggled unremittingly, and countless heroic models have emerged that have touched the world. With wisdom and sweat, and even blood and life, they have written a magnificent chapter of song and tears for the prosperity and strength of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the happiness of the people. The heroic models of various historical periods are worthy of our admiration and study.

Always struggle————

"The new era will surely be an era of great promise. The whole party and the people of all nationalities throughout the country must adhere to it like a heroic model, struggle like a heroic model, and jointly compose the magnificent triumphant song of the people's republic in the new era! ”

At the end of December 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping braved the severe cold and ice and snow to come to Fuping County, Hebei Province, and went deep into Luotuowan Village and Gujiatai Village in Longquanguan Town to inspect the poverty alleviation work in the old revolutionary areas. The general secretary went into the villages and households to see the real poverty, discussed with the villagers the strategy of getting rid of poverty and getting rich, and issued a mobilization order to the whole party and the whole country to get rid of poverty.

Times make heroes, and greatness comes from the ordinary. In the work of poverty alleviation, millions of poverty alleviation cadres have devoted themselves to hard work, wanted to be together, lived together, and worked together with the poor masses, selflessly dedicated their most beautiful years to the cause of poverty alleviation, and many touching and advanced deeds have emerged.

The middle section of the Luoxiao Mountains, the western foothills of Jinggang Mountain, and Yanling County, Hunan Province, an old revolutionary area, are located here. General Secretary Xi Jinping praised the "Huang Shiyan who took root in the front line of poverty alleviation and bowed to the front line of poverty alleviation" at the national poverty alleviation summary and commendation conference, and once served as the secretary of the county party committee here.

In the 9 years as the secretary of the Yanling County Party Committee, Huang Shiyan traveled to 120 villages in the county, leading the masses to get rid of poverty and remove the hat; he led the development of the yellow peach industry, and vigorously grasped the investment attraction, so that the industrial park in this county with weak industrial foundation ranked among the top 20 in the province's park development in terms of comprehensive evaluation.

On November 29, 2019, after the poverty alleviation dispatch meeting, Huang Shiyan suddenly suffered a heart attack and unfortunately died in the line of duty, and her life was forever fixed at the age of 56. Huang Shiyan led a group of people from the county party committee to compose a magnificent poem in Yanling with the tenacity of swallows and mud, and interpreted the original intention and mission of communist party members with their lives.

Huang Wenxiu, who graduated from Beijing Normal University with a master's degree in 2016, gave up job opportunities in big cities, resolutely returned to his hometown of Baise, and took the initiative to apply to Leye County, a key county for poverty alleviation and development work, as the first secretary of Baixiao Village. She visited 195 poor households in Baixiao Village, drew a "distribution map of poor households", and devoted herself to the front line of poverty alleviation.

In the early morning of June 17, 2019, she was tragically killed by a flash flood on her way back to work, at the age of 30. She composed the song of youth in the new era with her own practical actions.

General Secretary Xi Jinping called on the majority of party members and cadres and young comrades to take Comrade Huang Wenxiu as an example, not forget the original intention, keep in mind the mission, have the courage to take responsibility, be willing to dedicate, and make new and greater contributions on the long march road in the new era.

On the battlefield of poverty alleviation, Li Baoguo, the "new fool" who has adhered to the Taihang Mountains for 35 years, Zhang Guimei, who dedicated himself to education and poverty alleviation and ignited the hope of the mountain girls, and Huang Dafa, who fulfilled the oath of "water cannot pass, take his life to pave" with hard work... They wrote extraordinary lives with the ordinary of ordinary people, and vividly interpreted the original mission of communists with sweat and even life. According to statistics, in the fight against poverty, more than 1,800 comrades have fixed their lives on the journey of poverty alleviation.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the ceremony of awarding national medals and national honorary titles: "As long as there are firm ideals and beliefs, unremitting spirit of struggle, and down-to-earth to do every ordinary thing well, all ordinary people can get an extraordinary life, and all ordinary work can create extraordinary achievements." ”

On May 14, 2018, when Sichuan Airlines' "Heroic Crew of Civil Aviation of China" was performing a flight mission, the emergency situation of cockpit windshield bursting and falling off and cockpit pressure relief occurred at a height of 10,000 meters, which was an extreme and rare dangerous situation. Under the leadership of captain Liu Chuanjian, they did not hesitate to deal with the danger, responded decisively and dealt with it correctly, ensuring the safety of the 119 passengers on board.

On September 30, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping cordially met with all the members of the crew at the Great Hall of the People. The general secretary pointed out: "In times of crisis, we can show our true colors as heroes. Your heroic feats of turning dangers into disasters have touched countless people. I am very touched and proud to learn of your heroic deeds. The glorious titles of 'Heroic Crew' and 'Heroic Captain' are well deserved. General Secretary Xi Jinping also specially invited all members of the crew to participate in the reception celebrating the 69th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"The home is jade wheat, and the country is China." This is the clearest love of zhuoga and yangzong sisters of Yumai Township, Longzi County, Tibet.

Yumai Township is located in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, and for a long time in the last century, Yumai Township had only one family, Zhuo Ga, her father Sanjay Quba, and her sister Yangzong, which was called "Three People's Township" by the outside world. For decades, the Zhuoga and Yangzong sisters have guarded thousands of square kilometers of land by grazing and patrolling the border, and the national flag has been hung on every road they have traveled, practicing the promise of "guarding every inch of the motherland no matter how hard and tired they are".

On October 28, 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping replied to the Zhuoga and Yangzong sisters, affirming the behavior of their father and daughter in relaying to guard the border for the country, thanking the comrades who have long been loyal and dedicated to the border, and encouraging the vast number of farmers and herdsmen to take root in the border, protect the land, and build a good hometown. The general secretary pointed out: "I hope that you will continue to inherit the spirit of patriotism and border guarding, and lead more herdsmen to take root in the snowy frontier like Kelsang flowers, and be the guardians of the sacred land and the builders of a happy homeland." ”

The Chinese nation is a nation full of heroes, and the new era is an era of heroes. Wang Jicai, who "guarded the island and defended the country for 32 years, with uncomplaining and unrepentant perseverance and dedication, wrote an extraordinary chapter of life in an ordinary post"; Huang Qun, Song Yuecai, and Jiang Kaibin, who "used their precious lives to practice the original intention and oath of communist party members to be ready to sacrifice everything for the party and the people'"; Du Fuguo, who "protected his comrades-in-arms with his own body"; In the magnificent picture of the struggle of the new era, each article shines with the style of a hero.

When science and technology prosper, the nation prospers, and when science and technology is strong, the country is strong. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "In the new era, it is more necessary to inherit and carry forward the patriotic spirit of taking the fate of the country and the nation as its own responsibility, and it is even more necessary to continue to carry forward the spirit of scientists with patriotism as the background." ”

Huang Danian is the world's leading geophysicist. In his field of study, he has always been a catch-up. His outstanding achievements enabled him to win a superior life abroad, but he still threw away everything, resolutely returned to China, planned for the country's deep earth exploration technology, and sang "I love you China" with fifty-eight brilliant lives.

In May 2017, General Secretary Xi Jinping made an important instruction pointing out: "Comrade Huang Danian adheres to the ideal of serving the country through science and technology, regards contributing to the prosperity and strength of the motherland, the rejuvenation of the nation and the happiness of the people as his lifelong pursuit, and has made outstanding contributions to the cause of education and scientific research in China. In his important instructions, the general secretary called on everyone to "take Comrade Huang Danian as an example" to study.

Huang Danian's career is to see through every corner of the underground and do CT for the earth, and Nan Rendong's scientific research direction is to set his sights on outer space and explore the mysteries of the universe.

Deep in the mountains of Guizhou, the world's largest single-aperture radio telescope, china's sky eye, silently stares at the sky, and the asteroid named after Nan Rendong may also be looking back gently.

In the early 1990s, studying abroad was the first choice for many outstanding students. Nan Rendong, who is a visiting professor at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and enjoys world-class scientific research conditions and remuneration, chose "retrograde". In the following 20 years, the "Chinese Heavenly Eye" was completed and put into use after years of demonstration, project approval and arduous construction, and Nan Rendong burned his life unreservedly until the last moment.

On February 5, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping, who was inspecting Guizhou, met with the person in charge of the "China Tianyan" project and the backbone of scientific research, and video-linked the representatives of scientific and technological workers in the "China Tianyan" General Control Office. The general secretary put forward deep hopes: "I hope that everyone will take Mr. Nan Rendong as an example, carry forward the spirit of scientists, bravely climb the peak of science and technology in the world, accelerate the transformation from following and running and leading, maintain the leading advantage in some fields, and make greater contributions to building a scientific and technological power and realizing scientific and technological self-reliance." ”

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The fundamental reason why a nation is great is that in the face of any difficulties and risks, it never gives up, does not shrink back, does not stop, and strives for its future and destiny with all its twists and turns." ”

In 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic is raging, and people's life safety and physical health are facing serious threats.

The 84-year-old academician Zhong Nanshan was once again appointed as the leader of the high-level expert group of the National Health Commission and rushed to the front line of the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan.

18 years ago, in the fight against SARS, Zhong Nanshan disregarded the danger of life to treat critically ill patients, a sentence "send the most critically ill patient to me" is touching, a sentence "SARS is not terrible, preventable and curable" to reassure the people who were in panic at that time.

Zhong Nanshan went out in retrograde twice, with the professionalism of academicians and the bravery of soldiers, shouldering the responsibility of a national soldier.

In the face of the sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia, millions of medical personnel across the country are fighting in the frontline of the fight against the epidemic, building a great wall of steel to block the virus with their flesh and blood, saving one dying life after another, and interpreting the benevolence and love of doctors without boundaries!

In September 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the National Commendation Conference for Fighting the New Crown Pneumonia Epidemic: "The vast number of medical personnel in our country are people with a high sense of responsibility, and Comrade Zhang Dingyu, who is suffering from frostbite, said: 'I must run faster to snatch back more patients from the hands of the virus. At the same time, they were very humble people, and Comrade Zhong Nanshan said, "Actually, I am just a doctor who sees a doctor." The masses of the people said, 'With you there, rest assured!' 'The vast number of medical staff are the most beautiful angels and the most lovely people in the new era! Their names and deeds will not be forgotten by the country, the people will not forget, history will not be forgotten, and will forever be engraved on the monument of the republic! ”

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "In times of crisis, we have seen heroes everywhere. The anti-epidemic warriors on all fronts are not afraid of danger, regard death as a homecoming, open-minded in the face of difficulties, rush forward at critical moments, go to the mission with their lives, and love all sentient beings with great love. ”

The new era is an era of great promise, and the new era is an era that needs heroes and can certainly produce heroes. Countless heroic models are self-confident, self-reliant, upright and innovative, and with the fearless spirit of "sacrificing more ambitions and daring to teach the sun and the moon for a new day", they have integrated into the magnificent journey of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the ceremony of awarding national medals and national honorary titles: "The new era will be an era of great promise. The whole party and the people of all nationalities throughout the country must adhere to it like a heroic model, struggle like a heroic model, and jointly compose the magnificent triumphant song of the people's republic in the new era! ”

Heaven and earth are heroic, and the thousand autumns are still awe-inspiring.

Thousands of loyal bones, thousands of blood, with their burning faith and faith, fierce feelings of home and country, and selfless struggle, they have written the most magnificent epic poem in the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years in the course of a hundred years of struggle.

General Secretary Xi Jinping's solemn bow in front of the monument, his affectionate gaze in the memorial hall again and again, and the emotional telling of the hero's story again and again all condensed the infinite remembrance and deep remembrance of the hero by the leader of a big party and a big country, and contained the Chinese communists' remembrance, daylessness or forgetting for the original mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.

Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow; History-Reality-Future.

All great achievements are the result of continuous struggle, and all great undertakings need to be promoted in the course of carrying forward the past and opening up the future.

Today, we are closer, more confident and capable of achieving the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, and we must be prepared to make more arduous and difficult efforts. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The whole party and society should advocate heroes, learn from heroes, care for heroes, vigorously carry forward the heroic spirit, and gather the magnificent forces to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation." ”

The road ahead will not be smooth, and the future is bright. Stepping in the footsteps of heroic models, dreamers in the new era will surely paint a more magnificent picture of endeavor! The goal of building a socialist modern power in an all-round way will certainly be realized, and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will certainly be realized!
