recently, a netizen posted a video showing a group of people dancing in front of a tombstone at a martyrs' cemetery, which attracted attention. the reporter learned that the cemetery in the video is the zaxi red army martyrs cemetery in weixin county, zhaotong city, yunnan province.

on september 5, a staff member of the veterans affairs bureau of weixin county responded that the video was indeed shot at the zhaxi red army martyrs cemetery, but the shooting time has not yet been determined and the matter is being verified. this martyrs cemetery is an open cemetery, and residents sometimes dance in a square inside, but generally do not dance in front of the tombstones. if the management staff sees such a situation, they will generally persuade them to leave.

staff at the zaxi red army martyrs cemetery management office said that they would further strengthen management, set up warning signs, and call the police when necessary. (according to china news weekly on september 5)

many netizens initially thought that these dancers were dancing in the square of the martyrs cemetery or other public leisure areas, and thought that it was nothing. some even thought that the martyrs would be very pleased to see that people are living such a happy and comfortable life now. but after watching the video, everyone was very indignant, because these people were dancing in twos and threes in front of the martyrs' tombstones. this kind of dancing, laughing and noisy behavior was extremely inconsistent with the solemn atmosphere of the martyrs cemetery with lush pines and cypresses, and violated social morality and good customs. it was disrespectful and blasphemous to the spirit of heroes and martyrs. it was really too dazzling and too inappropriate.

public cemeteries are not places for dancing and entertainment. cemeteries carry people's remembrance and grief for the deceased, memories and respect. they are very serious places. even ordinary people's cemeteries cannot allow people to dance freely on them. martyrs' cemeteries are holy places to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed heroically for the country and the nation. they are important places for future generations to remember the heroes and inherit the red gene. the martyrs' tombstones are symbols of the spirit of the martyrs, and they are also the admiration and commemoration of the heroes by future generations. treating the resting place of martyrs in such a frivolous and entertaining way is extremely disrespectful to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives, hurts the feelings of the broad masses of the people, destroys social harmony, and is not conducive to the development and inheritance of national spirit and heroism.

according to the "law of the people's republic of china on the protection of heroes and martyrs" and related regulations, any behavior that distorts, vilifies, desecrates, or denies the deeds and spirit of heroes and martyrs is illegal; as early as 2017, the state sports general administration issued the "notice on further standardizing square dance fitness activities", which clearly requires that square dance fitness activities should not be carried out in solemn places such as martyrs' cemeteries. but all along, there have always been people who do their own thing, and have not changed after repeated warnings, and even ran to dance in front of the martyrs' tombstones. why is this? judging from the responses of local departments, the management is still not strict enough and there are too many loopholes.

the staff of the cemetery management office said that they would persuade people to leave if they saw them dancing, but some people had already come to dance before work, which meant that they could not watch them 24 hours a day and could not manage them all. judging from the consistent style of these dancers who ignore the rules and act arbitrarily, the occasional "persuasion to leave" is indeed not enough to deter them. even if warning signs are put up, they will probably be ignored. in the final analysis, these people lack the minimum respect for the heroes and martyrs, and put their personal entertainment needs above social morality and laws and regulations. they ignore or even deliberately ignore the special significance of the martyrs' cemetery as a sacred place. to change this idea and enhance their awareness of rules, i am afraid that we cannot just rely on persuasion and warnings, but should have more serious and powerful management methods.

the laws and regulations are clear. if they cannot be implemented, they will lose their authority and binding force. therefore, the management department should work with the police to take substantial disciplinary measures against such behaviors that ignore laws and regulations and refuse to change after repeated warnings. at least, the violators should be educated and admonished. under the premise of protecting personal privacy, uncivilized and non-compliant behaviors should be publicly exposed and criticized to show importance and set an example. for some people who resist management and violate the rules many times, the cemetery has the right to refuse them entry for a period of time, effectively maintaining public order and making some people who lack a sense of rules remember it for a long time.

of course, behind this kind of phenomenon is often the problem of insufficient public activity venues in cities. local government departments should increase their efforts to increase the capacity of public fitness venues, continuously meet the needs of mass entertainment and sports, and allow people to dance to their heart's content wherever they can.

singing and dancing in front of the martyrs' tombstones without realizing the inappropriateness of their behavior also reflects the wrong mentality of some people who lack respect for heroes and martyrs and lack awe for history. the society should strengthen education and guidance, popularize the deeds and spirit of heroes and martyrs, enhance the public's sense of historical responsibility and national pride, jointly create a good atmosphere of respecting and admiring heroes, encourage the public to participate in volunteer services to maintain order in martyrs' cemeteries, so that more people can feel the power of the spirit of heroes and martyrs in the contemporary era, and make awe a conscious action for everyone.
