CCTV News: February 13th is the 120th anniversary of the birth of Yang Jingyu, a national hero of the anti-Japanese war. People from all walks of life and officers and soldiers of the army held commemorative activities to commemorate the heroes and draw spiritual strength to move forward.
In Tonghua, Jilin, more than 100 teachers from the Yang Jingyu Cadre College in Jilin came to the Yang Jingyu Martyrs Cemetery and the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Nations Memorial Hall to commemorate the heroes.

On February 13, the troops organized officers and soldiers to carry out commemorative activities to pay tribute to the martyrs, invited old seniors to talk about war history and examples, guide officers and soldiers to understand the heroic spirit, and be determined to fight and strengthen the army.
