The heroic spirit of heaven and earth is still astonishing as ever.

On March 21, representatives of teachers and students from five schools including Sichuan University and Chengdu University Affiliated Middle School held a "Qingming Festival Memorial Heroes" event at the Chengdu Martyrs Cemetery. Tu Boyi, a national model retired soldier and a veteran of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, conducted a speech to express his respect and remembrance of the heroes and martyrs.

The Qingming Festival is approaching, and we will pay homage tombs of martyrs, preach the deeds of heroes, visit and comfort the martyrs' families... Various forms of commemorative activities are held in various places to pay tribute to the martyrs, remember the martyrs, inherit the red genes, and draw strength to move forward.

Heroes and martyrs are the backbone of the nation and the pioneer of the times. In modern times, about 20 million martyrs have sacrificed heroically to seek national independence, people's liberation, national prosperity and people's happiness. They are determined and continue to do so, and with their passionate beliefs and passionate feelings for their country and country, they write a great epic that moves the world and write a heroic song that swallows the mountains and rivers.

Drinke water and remember the source, and never forget it. We must always remember their sacrifices and dedication for all those who have given their precious lives for the country, the nation, and the peace, no matter how the times change.

Include the protection of heroes and martyrs into the system of commendation of merits and honors of the Party and the state; introduce the Heroes and Martyrs Protection Law and the Civil Code to set up special clauses to protect heroes and martyrs; actively provide preferential treatment for the families of heroes and martyrs in education, employment, pension, housing, medical care, etc. in accordance with national regulations; a total of 981 remains of martyrs from the Chinese People's Volunteer Army in South Korea have been welcomed for 11 consecutive years... In recent years, a series of measures to pay tribute to heroes and martyrs have been implemented in depth, and the atmosphere of "respecting heroes and martyrs, remembering heroes and martyrs, learning heroes and martyrs, defending heroes and caring for martyrs" has become increasingly strong.

Inheriting the spirit of heroes, we must first tell good stories about heroes. Whether in the era of revolutionary war or peace, there are always heroes who stand up at critical moments, fearlessly face danger at the critical moments of life and death, and fulfill their mission with their lives. In recent years, all localities and departments have actively used red resources such as revolutionary museums, memorial halls, party history museums, martyrs memorial facilities, and revolutionary sites to carry out publicity and education activities on the deeds and spirit of heroes and martyrs. Based on various clues, the Pingjin Battle Memorial Hall persists in finding witnesses and descendants of heroes and martyrs in the Pingjin Battle, strives to discover more deeds of heroes and martyrs, and organizes nearly 100 red cultural relics stories. At the same time, we focus on the utilization, display, revitalization and inheritance of cultural relics, and held a number of high-quality exhibitions. Red cultural relics, hero stories, touching deeds, telling the battle between blood and fire. Transmit true feelings in memory and awaken memories in revisiting, and better understand where the ideals and beliefs of the heroes and martyrs come from.

The spirit is endless and the career is passed down from generation to generation. The best memory is to inherit the legacy of heroes. In June 2020, Xiao Siyuan, a soldier of a border defense regiment in the Xinjiang Military Region, fought bravely and sacrificed heroically in the border struggle. Two years later, Xiao Siyuan's younger brother Xiao Rongji joined the army and came to "Yang Gensilian" to shoulder the mission that his brother once shouldered. He always remembers the heroic declaration of the old company commander Yang Gensi's "three disbeliefs" and the affectionate confession of Xiao Siyuan's saying "We are the boundary markers of the motherland." Excellent performance and outstanding achievements in the army, and was awarded the third-class merit. He said: "No matter in the past, present, or in the future, I always feel that every step I take is extremely firm and meaningful."

Every tribute to the heroes is a spiritual baptism. Faced with the "Lushanguan" and "Lazikou" on the road ahead, we must carry forward the spirit of revolutionary heroism, enhance our ambition, backbone and confidence, dare to fight and be good at fighting, overcome one difficulty after another, and write a new and more glorious chapter.
