Recently, the Central Propaganda Department and 12 other departments jointly issued a notice, requiring the organization of the "National Defense Education Month" activity in September with the theme of "Promoting the Spirit of Resistance Against Japan and Building the Great Wall of National Defense", guiding cadres and the masses to more firmly and consciously care about national defense, love national defense, build national defense, and defend national defense, and to gather strong positive energy for the comprehensive promotion of the cause of building a strong country and a strong military. It's the start of the school year again. Many schools have integrated the spirit of the Anti Japanese War and patriotism education into the classroom, inviting veterans, active duty soldiers, and retired soldiers to step onto the podium and bring students a unique "first lesson of the school year". Let's go into three schools and listen to their 'first lesson of the semester' together. On September 1st, Yueshi Primary School in Anyue County, Sichuan Province held its opening ceremony, with the five starred red flag rising slowly in the face of the sunrise. Under the national flag, 102 year old veteran Wu Shaoqing, supported by his son Wu Tianming, walked onto the podium, raised his right hand, and solemnly saluted the teachers and students. A 30 minute impromptu lecture won over 10 rounds of applause. This is Wu Shaoqing's "last lesson" at the elementary school. After this class, Wu Shaoqing passed on the baton of the school's "extracurricular red counselor" to his son Wu Tianming. As the oldest "extracurricular red counselor" in Anyue County, Wu Shaoqing has 42 years of teaching experience. After retiring in 1983, Wu Shaoqing successively visited 12 primary and secondary schools in the county and conducted more than 100 patriotic education sessions. In 1942, 19-year-old Wu Shaoqing enlisted in the army, first as a machine gunner and later as a gunner. During the battlefield battles, his ears were severely damaged, and in his later years, he was troubled by tinnitus, only able to hear loud conversations nearby. I hope to let children feel the history of blood and fire through the personal experience of an old soldier. ”Wu Shaoqing recalled that when she was invited to give a lecture to teachers and students for the first time, she was still very nervous in her heart. When it comes to the story of "carrying two buns to fight", the students in the audience widened their eyes and listened attentively. After class, the children gathered around him and gently touched the crescent shaped scar on his arm. Since then, 'extracurricular red counselor' has become Wu Shaoqing's new 'business card'. After a lecture, a fifth grade student asked, "Can a machine gun shoot down an airplane? Isn't this a plot from the 'Anti Japanese Divine Drama'?" The sudden question surprised Wu Shaoqing, who realized his responsibility to let generations of young people understand the real history of the Anti Japanese War. Afterwards, Wu Shaoqing added many details such as the performance parameters of combat equipment, the timeline of battles, and the stories of sacrificing comrades in the teaching plan, allowing students to more clearly feel the cruelty of the battlefield and understand that those sacrifices of ancient times are not only summarized by the word "heroes", but also living people who have exchanged their lives for today's peaceful and prosperous era. Mr. Wu is well prepared for every class, and only when the children listen attentively can they truly immerse themselves. ”Zhou Qiang, a political and engineering officer at the People's Armed Forces Department of Anyue County, said that Wu Shaoqing used real stories to awaken students' simple feelings for "family, country," and "responsibility," transforming this feeling from a naive and moving one to a firm force to remember history and take on responsibilities and contributions. In the second half of this year, more than 20 young people were inspired by Wu Shaoqing to sign up for military service. This spring, the health doctor held Wu Shaoqing's physical examination report and had a serious conversation with his family: high blood pressure, severe hearing loss, heart function deterioration... Wu Shaoqing's body is no longer suitable for long-term activities, and "excitement or fatigue may be dangerous". After persuasion and repeated consideration by his family, Wu Shaoqing agreed to teach the last class of the new semester and then pass the baton to his son. As soon as he spoke, Wu Shaoqing's voice trembled slightly with excitement. Wu Tianming quickly handed over warm water and said, "Dad, speak slowly, don't worry." Wu Shaoqing just waved his hand and continued to preach, "At that time, we didn't have food to eat, so we would fight with two bunkers; when we didn't have ammunition, we would fight with bayonets... No one backed down because we knew that behind us were our fellow villagers and our country." After the lecture ended, Wu Shaoqing looked at the energetic faces in the audience and saluted as usual, saying earnestly, "I'm getting old and can't teach you anymore. Grandpa's' last lesson 'has been finished, but your' life lesson 'has just begun. You must study hard and be a useful person to your country. Freshman Tang Yixi and several classmates took the stage to present flowers and handmade cards to Wu Shaoqing. Grandpa Wu, thank you for telling us this story. We will remember it. Grandpa, this is a painting I drew. I wish you good health! Father's' last lesson 'is not an end, but a new beginning. ”Wu Tianming said that during the just ended summer vacation, he and his son sorted out all the speeches that his father Wu Shaoqing had devoted over 40 years of effort to, and bound them into a book. I will also carry his expectations and pass on these vivid stories from generation to generation. Hanging the "Heroes" sign at the classroom entrance, Yiwu, Zhejiang in September, with a bamboo like sound. Tong Kun, come here! ”Jiang Xianli, come! "" Jinping Ou, come! "On the morning of the 2nd, Zhalin Primary School in Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province held a opening ceremony and a naming convention for the" Heroic Class ". Student representatives from 30 classes across 6 grades received class cards named after heroes. The students heard the names of the martyrs corresponding to their class and loudly answered 'yes'. Zhalinlin is located in the northeast of Yiwu City, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Zhalin Primary School, a century old school, has produced 4 underground party members and 12 anti Japanese martyrs. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the school established a student anti Japanese self-defense brigade under the leadership of the underground Communist Party of China, organizing progressive students to secretly transmit intelligence. Since the establishment of the Anti Japanese Armed Brave Brigade in August 1943, Zhalin has become the central area of the anti Japanese base in the eastern part of Zhuyi. The staff of the Yiwu New Fourth Army Research Association introduced that during the more than two years from its establishment to its northward withdrawal, the Jianyong Brigade has experienced more than 30 battles of various sizes. The revolutionary martyrs wrote a heroic chapter with their blood and lives by cutting off transportation, attacking artillery towers, killing Japanese invaders, annihilating puppet troops, fighting stubborn bandits, eliminating traitors, and opposing bullies. The martyrs named for the class are mostly members of the Brave Brigade. In the Jianyong Corridor of Zhalin Primary School, exhibition boards record stories of the Jianyong Brigade's surprise attack on the military supply warehouse, victory in the first battle, clever capture of the flying phoenix, stealing sheep, and luring snakes out of their holes during the Anti Japanese War. One hero after another takes root in the hearts of students and becomes a role model for them to learn on their growth path, "said Principal Chen Sunbin. At the opening ceremony, Jin Zhongxiang, son of martyr Jin Pingou, and Jiang Yisheng, son of martyr Jiang Xianli, told students stories of heroic deeds. My father was a member of the Jianyong Brigade and later appointed as a special envoy of the Communist Party of China's Jin Xiao District Committee in Zhuyidong, "Jin Zhongxiang said." Children, you must inherit the will of your revolutionary predecessors and shoulder the mission of defending our country. "" In April 1944, Luo Shoubao was arrested by the Japanese puppet army. Faced with the enemy's threats, temptations, and both soft and hard tactics, he refused to disclose any information about the party organization and sacrificed himself at the age of only 32. ”On stage, Jiang Yisheng recounted the glorious deeds of martyr Luo Shoubao, a member of the Communist Party of China's Zhuyidong County Committee. The deeds of martyrs are the best textbook for the first lesson of school. ”Ye Qinghua, the initiator of the naming activity for the "Martyrs' Class" and a survivor of the martyrs, said that he is both a military sister-in-law and an active duty soldier, and has a strong emotional resonance with the red stories. In 2014, upon learning that Zhalin Primary School had abundant red resources, she contacted the Yiwu Municipal People's Armed Forces Department, Yiwu Education Bureau, and the Jin Xiao Branch of the Zhejiang New Fourth Army Historical Research Association to hold a naming event for the "Heroic Class" during the opening of the school year. In recent years, Zhalin Primary School has also invited veterans of the Anti Japanese War and outstanding military representatives from the stationed troops to teach red stories, organized teachers and students to visit the martyrs' cemetery to pay tribute to revolutionary martyrs, and carried out the "I Send Portraits to the Families of Military Martyrs" activity. The red "heroic plaques" are hung in prominent positions at the entrances of 30 classrooms, with photos of martyrs and advanced deeds printed on them. The names of martyrs are our faith. They deeply integrate into our learning and life, and are with us in another way, "said Lou Xinyu, a fifth grade student at Zhalin Elementary School. On September 1st, the sun shone on Jiake School located in Xingyi City, Qiannan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province. The playground was interwoven with crisp and clear children's voices and powerful commands. The officers and soldiers of the Qiannan Branch of the Guizhou Armed Police Force gave their first lesson of the school year with the theme of "Building a Strong Army with Me and Dreaming of a Future". In 2022, Jiake School was listed as "Bayi Aimin School". The school has specially opened up an area on the playground, with the assistance of the Qiannan Branch of the People's Armed Police to build a military experience zone. At the beginning of the new academic year, after conducting a themed lecture on "National Defense in My Heart", the officers and soldiers of the detachment led the students to the playground and started a military experience course. The balance beam is so interesting! I want to do it again! ”Student Lin Xiaoyang completed the balance beam training under the protection of officers and soldiers, with a joyful expression of success on his face. Attention! Crawl forward in a low posture! Use both hands and keep your body close to the ground! ”In the tactical training area, armed police officers and soldiers guided more than 30 students to divide into multiple groups and engage in fierce competition. Although the children's movements were slightly difficult, their eyes were particularly firm, showing an unyielding determination to not give up. In the equipment experience area, students formed a circle with curiosity in their eyes. Uncle, can I touch it? "Asked Zhou Zihang, a freshman. Warrior Lin Kunjie picked up the rifle beside him and patiently guided him. How heavy! ”As soon as he received it, Zhou Zihang couldn't help but say, "Uncle, do you have to train with it every day?" "Yes! ”Lin Kunjie immediately explained firearm knowledge and operating precautions to the students. At this moment, the roar of drone propellers could be heard over the playground. Look! What is that! "Shouted a student pointing at the sky, and more and more people gathered around, looking up. On the screen is our classroom! ”With a cry of surprise, the children turned their gaze to the screen in the hand of soldier Li Ziliang. Li Ziliang manipulated a drone to fly past the teaching building, capturing real-time footage and transmitting it back to the screen in his hand. These equipment can only be seen on TV normally, but today it is really meaningful for children to have zero contact and experience them firsthand. ”Class teacher Zhang Yuhan stood aside, watching the excited expressions of the children and sighed, "This military experience class is worth a thousand words. I hope it can sow the seeds of military reverence and martial arts in the hearts of more students
