Raising the Military Flag High to Strengthen Resolve: Committed to a New Journey of Building a Strong Army

Today is the August 1st Army Day, and the entire military and armed police forces are celebrating the 99th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army of China in various forms, inspiring officers and soldiers to inherit the red gene and dedicate themselves to strengthening the military and defending the homeland.

From the snowy plateau to the shores of the East China Sea, from red revolutionary sites to field training grounds, officers and soldiers are lined up neatly, revisiting the military oath. Everyone is determined to focus on training and preparation for battle, ready to guard the peace of the motherland.

Zhu Bin, a certain regiment of the Xinjiang Military District: We organized an activity to revisit the military oath, mainly to allow everyone to reflect on the path we have taken, see clearly the road ahead, and strengthen our future path. We aim to further purify our faith and forge a strong military spirit, ensuring that our team is absolutely loyal, absolutely pure, and absolutely reliable at all times and under any circumstances.

Each unit, based on the rich red resources of their stationed locations, organized officers and soldiers to visit revolutionary memorials and educational bases, revisiting the glorious history and commemorating revolutionary martyrs, organically combining the tempering of party spirit and the inheritance of the red gene, while honing the original intention of joining the military in pursuit of the footsteps of our predecessors and drawing strength for military development.

Gao Xulei, a certain unit of the Central Theater Command Air Force: We will inherit the red bloodline, focus on our duties to hone our skills, and uphold our responsibilities at our posts, putting our strong military oath into action.

In places like Beijing, Liaoning, and Xinjiang, various cultural performances and August 1st慰问演出 have been staged one after another. Stationed officers and soldiers, along with cultural workers, tell red stories, sing red songs, and praise the red spirit. Every program and every melody pays tribute to history and honors heroes.

Retired officer Shao Weizheng: 99 years of brave struggle, 99 years of passing on the torch. As an old soldier, I sincerely wish our people's army continued success and glory!

An experience in the military camp, a sense of patriotism. On August 1st Army Day, the vibrant military camp welcomed military families from various places, allowing military children to experience training life up close and sharpen their will and character. The nation's most beautiful supporters of the military and national models of patriotic support also entered the military camp to visit the heroic Red Army units and engage in deep exchanges to pass on stories of supporting the military.

National "Most Beautiful Supporter of the Military" Cao Heng: Coming to an advanced unit is both a national defense education and a glorious tradition education. I hope more people can respect soldiers and their families.
