“Watching Zhuge Liang commands war on TV is not a problem. This time he only knows it is not easy to participate in practice!” On July 20, after participating in the “Little Military Outing Record” event organized by the Education Bureau of Jiangdu District, Yangzhou City, Ding Zhihong, a student of Class 4 (9) of Fairy Primary School in the district, said. This is a scene where Jiangdu District launched a series of summer national defense education activities. The district hopes to enhance students' national defense awareness by holding such activities and create a spiritual “steel backbone” for them. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. Jiangdu District recently organized a series of summer national defense education activities. Many students have shown in their experiences that the seeds of national defense have quietly taken root in the hearts of children.
On July 6, during the “Battlefield reporters follow veterans to travel and shoot” event, 20 groups of parent-child families followed veterans to the Memorial Hall of the New Fourth Army's Northern Su Command. The children surrounded the tour guide and asked about the details on the battlefield, and recorded them in small notebooks from time to time. They wrote in their diary that after seeing and photographing these real objects with mottled time and scars, they suddenly understood the weight of the word “hero”.
Three days later, the Youth Drone Training Camp was opened in Guocun Town, an old revolutionary base. During the control exercise, some students had only succeeded after operating it many times. “When the drone finally completed the reconnaissance simulation mission according to the instructions, I learned that drones are not only toys, but also the “smartial eye” on the battlefield!” A student said that it turns out that every advancement in national defense science and technology is inseparable from the persistence of repeated trials and repetitions.
From July 10 to 11, the “Battlefield Ambulance” experience activity allowed children to experience the cruelty and warmth of the battlefield. Under the guidance of medical staff, the children learn to resuscitate cardiopulmonary resuscitation, hemostasis bandage, make simple stretchers, and simulate transport of injured people. When the children used the skills they learned to complete the simulated battlefield rescue drill, parents saw their strong side: “It seems that they can't do anything at home, they will fall down as soon as they touch it. This time they performed very well!”
“National defense education is not a simple slogan. We carry out summer national defense education activities to let children understand that today's happiness is hard-won, and naturally develop loyalty and love for the motherland.” Wang Feng, head of the collaborative education work of schools, families and society in Jiangdu District, said that from listening to revolutionary stories to operating equipment by hand, from learning to rescue the wounded to experiencing responsibility, every insight of the children is the most vivid embodiment of the achievements of national defense education.
It is reported that the district will also carry out a series of national defense education activities such as “National Defense Film Carnival” and “Military-civilian Integration Building the Great Wall” during the summer season. While allowing children to receive national defense education, they will also make their summer vacation more abundant and fulfilling.
