In early February, a group of special guests walked into the First Middle School of Xintai City, Shandong Province, adding joy to the Chinese New Year. At 3 pm, the school auditorium was packed with people, and the ceremony of "rewarding achievements and sending them to the alma mater" was held as scheduled. Under the watchful eyes of representatives of teachers and students, as well as relatives of meritorious officers and soldiers, the leaders of the Municipal People's Armed Forces Department delivered the good news of their achievements to five active duty soldiers who graduated from the school. Student representatives presented flowers to the meritorious seniors. The beginning of the cloud journey is predictable for thousands of miles. Here, I would like to invite more junior students to join the army collective! ”Yin Yanguang, a military officer wearing a ribbon and receiving the third class merit report, issued an initiative to the students in the audience. The leaders of the People's Armed Forces Department of Xintai City introduced that the good news of meritorious service is usually sent to the homes of meritorious officers and soldiers. This year, based on the conscription work in the first half of the year and after communicating with five meritorious officers and soldiers, they decided to send the good news of meritorious service to Xintai No.1 Middle School to encourage more students to join the hot military camp. Xintai is located in the old revolutionary base area of Yimeng and has a tradition of respecting the military and martial arts. The school has introduced national defense education courses and implemented the 'first lesson ideological and political responsibility system', forming a comprehensive red culture education pattern for all staff, subjects, and every day. Last year, the school also founded the 'Iron and Blood Pingyang National Defense Education Society', which has made national defense education 'go beyond textbooks'. Yin Yanguang has a wealth of experience and practices in carrying out national defense education at his alma mater. After the farewell ceremony, many students gathered around the meritorious officers and soldiers to further understand military life. Listening to my senior's stories about military service, I have come to a deeper understanding of the meaning behind the phrase 'time is peaceful because someone is carrying a heavy burden'. "Niu Chuxin, a high school freshman, said that he had the idea of applying to a military academy and hoped that his dream would come true. There are many students who share the same ideas as Niu Chuxin. The role model is right beside me, and the strength is right in front of me. In the future, I will also strive to bring glory to my hometown and alma mater like my senior. Starting from this winter vacation, in addition to completing my homework seriously, I will launch an attack on my goals, "said a high school sophomore solemnly. At the event, many students received recruitment brochures, inquired about recruitment policies, and applied for military academies. (New Society)
