CCTV News (News Network): The heroic spirit of heaven and earth is still astonishing as ever. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The light of ideals is immortal, and the light of faith is immortal. We must remember the last wishes of the martyrs and never forget the great ideals they shed blood and sacrificed for." During the Qingming Festival, various places commemorate heroes in various forms, express grief, cultivate feelings for their family and country, and draw strength to forge ahead in the new era.

It's Qingming Festival again, I remember the martyrs and sacrifice their heroic souls.

From the dense forest of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Nations to the outposts on the southwestern border, from the Hong'an Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Facilities in Hong'an, Hubei to the Martyrs Cemetery in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea in Chenyang, Liaoning, people inherit the red genes in tribute to the heroes and firmly move forward in the past.

Remembering history and remembering heroes has always been the concern and the pursuit of General Secretary Xi Jinping. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has led by example and set an example. From the Luliang Mountains to the Dabie Mountains, from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to the northwest desert, the General Secretary’s footprints of commemorating the heroes and martyrs have spread all over the motherland. Every affectionate gaze embodies his deep remembrance and tribute to the revolutionary martyrs and the heroes of the people.

Under the guidance and promotion of General Secretary Xi Jinping, my country has established the Martyrs' Day, the Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the National Memorial Day of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre in the form of legislation, and issued a series of laws and regulations such as the Protection of Heroes and Martyrs, and established a system of commendation of merits and honors with Chinese characteristics, such as the "Medal of the Republic", "July 1 Medal", and "August 1 Medal".

Advocating heroes and striving to be heroes has become a trend in the whole society.

Only by advocating heroes, heroes will emerge, and only by striving to be heroes can one emerge in many ways. On the land of the motherland that the heroes fought for, generations of latecomers shouldered the responsibilities on the shoulders of their predecessors.

In Baini Village, Leye County, Baise, Guangxi, the winner of the "July 1st Medal" has been a hot land where martyrs Huang Wenxiu, a group of returning home have fought relay and devoted themselves to rural revitalization. The power of youth is depicting a new picture of "the people are rich and the village is strong and the scenery is beautiful".

At Jilin University where Professor Huang Danian worked, teachers and students continue to "have a big heart and serve the country sincerely" and are constantly making efforts towards unknown areas of scientific research.

The martyrs looked back and smiled and comforted, and there were later generations who held the flag. From builders who are determined to be in all directions and take root in the places where the motherland needs the most, to guardians who have relay inheritance and a strong original aspiration... At every moment when the motherland and people need it, there are always heroes who stand up. They are the tall boundary markers of border outposts, the figures against the front line of rescue, and the Great Wall of Steel built with flesh and blood.

Heroes are immortal, and mountains and rivers are forever remembered. Every look back on history is to set out better, and every tribute to heroes is to move forward more vigorously. Generations of Chinese people will use continuous struggle to comfort the martyrs: The mountains and rivers are already safe, and this prosperous era is as you wish.
