Reflections after watching the military parade

The military flag is fluttering, the military song is loud; the motor is roaring, and the iron flow is rolling. What a neat pace, what a majestic military appearance, what strict discipline, what a strong will! On the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army, the officers and soldiers of the Hong Kong Garrison held a grand public military parade at Shigang Barracks, which attracted the attention of the whole society and gave about 30,000 people at the scene a new experience and a strong shock.

General Li Xinliang, commander-in-chief of the military parade and commander of the Beijing Military Region, took a serious stance and reported to Chairman Jiang: "Comrade Chairman, the troops under review have completed their formation. Please review them!"

At the general meeting of the military parade Accompanied by the conductor, Chairman Jiang rode in the review car and drove towards the square formation to be reviewed. This is the first time that the third generation of the party's leadership has reviewed the armed forces in Tiananmen Square.

What a similar and unforgettable scene! On October 1, 1984, Deng Xiaoping took this route when reviewing the armed forces. After 15 years of reform and 15 years of development, this road has ushered in the third generation of the party's leadership core. During the 10 years that Chairman Jiang has presided over the work of the Central Military Commission, he inherited the army-building thoughts of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, put forward the general requirements for the construction of our army, established the military strategic guidelines for the new era, implemented two fundamental changes in military struggle and army building, and formulated the cross-century development plan for the army. The grand blueprint of the People's Army has made great progress in the revolutionization, modernization and regularization of the people's army. At the turn of the century, the solemn review of the party's third-generation leadership core will surely inspire the people's army to move toward the new century with greater vigor.

"Hello, comrades! Thank you for your hard work, comrades!" Chairman Jiang's greetings are like a warm spring breeze and warm the military heart.

"Hello, Chief! Serve the people!" The answers of the officers and soldiers echoed like thunder, and the mountains and the sea responded.

As the flag guard formation, nine foot formations, two armored formations and three helicopter formations were reviewed one after another, they were inspected by the commander, Lieutenant General Wang Jitang. The first-class mental outlook, first-class style and discipline, and first-class training quality are all vividly displayed in front of the whole Hong Kong. I enjoyed watching the military parade, and the citizens all praised it. They felt proud and proud to have such a mighty, civilized and victorious army, and they had more confidence in the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong. Xian said that by watching the military parade, they had increased their respect for the People's Liberation Army. Understanding and understanding of the country deepens patriotism and strengthens the concept of national sovereignty.

As we all know, the military is the symbol and guarantee of national sovereignty. In countries around the world, military parades are a very serious and important event, both politically and militarily. Its main significance is to demonstrate national sovereignty, highlight national defense capabilities, and demonstrate the government's strength and ability to safeguard national and regional security. determination. In China, in addition to the 13 National Day military parades that have attracted worldwide attention, military parades are generally held in military camps on Army Day. This is the first time for the Hong Kong Garrison to publicly hold the "August 1st" military parade in the military camp. It is the first time in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and nationwide. It is of special significance for Hong Kong, which has been seven years since its return to China.

It should be admitted that due to various historical reasons, the so-called national concept and sovereignty awareness have always been relatively weak in people's minds in Hong Kong. People are not very clear about the basic truth that without the integrity and security of national sovereignty, people cannot live and work in peace and contentment. Even "patriotism and love for Hong Kong" have become the object of ridicule by some people. In this mentality, of course, there has been a long-term prejudice, suspicion and resistance against the People's Liberation Army, which is a symbol of sovereignty. Under this understanding, it is difficult to understand and implement "one country, two systems" and implement the Basic Law. Of course, it is conceivable that it will bring various adverse effects. Therefore, people of insight have long spoken loudly that Hong Kong urgently needs to strengthen national education.

There is no doubt that the military parade is a very good way of national education. Judging from the good response from all parties after this military parade, yesterday's military parade was quite successful. I believe it will have a more far-reaching impact on Hong Kong. It not only allowed the city to witness the glorious footprints of the Hong Kong Garrison over the past seven years, but also demonstrated the The proud image of the Hong Kong Garrison as a "mighty and civilized force" has deepened citizens' understanding and trust in the military; it is also conducive to enhancing citizens' national concepts and strengthening their awareness of sovereignty, thus conducive to better implementation of "one country, two systems" governing Hong Kong. Hong Kong' and safeguard Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability.

Seven years ago, the 'August 1st' military flag flew for the first time in Hong Kong, the Oriental Pearl. After a century of vicissitudes, Hong Kong has an army that symbolizes and embodies national sovereignty. The prosperity and stability of Hong Kong society has a strong and reliable foundation. Guarantee; over the past seven years, the garrison in Hong Kong, with its excellent military quality, sophisticated weapons and equipment, strict work style and discipline, and high morale, has strictly performed defense in accordance with the law, established a good image in the minds of the public, and built a security barrier, which fully proves that Deng Xiaoping insisted on Garrisoning troops in Hong Kong is indeed far-sighted!
