CCTV News: It is the wish of many people to go to Tiananmen Square to watch a flag-raising ceremony. During this May Day holiday, people came to Beijing from all over the country just to watch a flag-raising ceremony. Next, we will approach the "facade responsibility" of the Chinese army - the national flag guard. They created a bright "business card" for Chinese soldiers with neat steps and upright posture.

At 4 a.m., a loud command came from the road on the north side of the Duanmen Gate of the Forbidden City, and the officers and soldiers of the National Flag Guard of the People's Liberation Army's Honorary Brigade began training before raising the flag on time. Zhang Tianlong, the National Flag Guard Team of the People's Liberation Army Honors and Guards, introduced that the usual flag-raising is a square of 66 people; on the 1st of each month, the number of people increased to 96 people, and 30 guards were placed on both sides of the Jinshui Bridge, and the military band also played the national anthem on the spot.

In front of Tiananmen Square, starting from the south side of Jinshui Bridge, the members of the National Flag Guard walked out of the amazing Chinese rhythm with strong and powerful steps: 75 cm per step, no matter how bad it is, every step is sonorous. In response to extreme and severe weather, after rigorous training, the officers and soldiers need to reach high wind conditions of level 8 or above to ensure that the team moves steadily, maintain the sonorous rhythm of the team in the pouring rain, and insist on the uniformity of the team in the heavy snow. Jiang Runze, the National Flag Guard, said that in their eyes, the national flag is more important than life and above everything else. They integrate their love for the motherland and the national flag into their blood, defend the dignity of the national flag with the most high-spirited mental state and first-class action standards, and safeguard the national image, and gather the forging power of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.

The national flag is in hand, and the heavy responsibility is on shoulders. The five-star red flag has been flying in Tiananmen Square for more than 70 years, and has always maintained a record of "zero mistakes and zero mistakes" in the lifting and lowering flags.

The flag-raising man Wang Haotian often carries a long pole on his shoulder, and hangs a water-filled kettle on the pole, and trains to "hold the flag" along the central axis. The flagpole and national flag weigh nearly 30 kilograms, and the flagpole is 3.81 meters long. No matter what the situation is, it cannot tremble while moving. Wang Haotian said: "Although the national flag is only a few minutes long, no matter how bad the weather is, there must be no mistakes. Every national flag lifting task must be completed with high standards and strict requirements. The seemingly simple flag-waving movements are constantly practicing with 5 kilograms of dumbbells."

Every day, when you see tourists from all over the world coming to Tiananmen Square on the moon and moon, just to see the solemn and sacred flag-raising ceremony, the team members will feel a strong sense of pride. Jin Xin, a national flag guard, said: "Like the team sings, when we raise the flag in the morning, we shine the first ray of light on the national flag, proving that the prosperity of the motherland has begun."
