wang tianyi, a first-year student who had just entered school, sat quietly in the classroom. she looked towards the door and out the window with curiosity. soon, her eyes were drawn to the podium - four "teachers" in military uniforms came into the classroom.

"students, do you know what day it is today?" "today is the victory day of the anti-japanese war!" before he finished speaking, sophomore student wang jingyu answered first.

"very good! next question, what do you want to be when you grow up?" the "teacher" in military uniform continued to ask questions. "i want to be a soldier," "i want to be a firefighter," "i want to be a teacher"... students in the audience rushed to express their wishes.

september 3 is the 79th anniversary of the victory of the chinese people's war of resistance against japanese aggression and the world anti-fascist war. on that day, soldiers from the danzhou detachment of the hainan armed police corps came to the maoxing military and civilian hope primary school where they were stationed, and gave the children a vivid and unforgettable "first lesson of school" with the theme of "continuing the red bloodline and strengthening the country's rejuvenation". they also presented school bags, stationery and other school supplies to the students.

on the electronic screen, pictures and videos of young anti-japanese heroes such as yulai, zhang ga, and wang erxiao were played in turn, and the officers and soldiers told stories of anti-japanese heroes one after another with passion and emotion. the children watched attentively and listened attentively.

in order to make history more tangible, the soldiers, teachers and students also went to the wuzhishan revolutionary base memorial park. surrounded by mountains, a majestic monument stands tall, and from the side it looks like a flag fluttering in the wind.

the soldiers held the children's hands and walked slowly along the steps to the monument, where they laid flowers and bowed deeply to express their high respect for the revolutionary martyrs. "these are the martyrs who sacrificed their lives heroically for national independence, people's liberation and people's happiness." then, the soldiers carefully introduced the heroic deeds on the wall of heroes and martyrs to the children.

a strong youth means a strong country. "in the early stages of education, by making national defense education a school course and inviting armed police officers to tell stories about the red history and heroes, we can plant red seeds in children's hearts and cultivate patriotic feelings," said lin daoping, principal of maoxing military and civilian hope primary school.

"i also want to be a hero like our revolutionary predecessors and defend my country!" wang jingyu said loudly as he walked out of the memorial park.
