Gao Jiancheng, a "flood hero", was in the army to commemorate the 18th anniversary of the sacrifice of the 17th martyrs.

  Zhongxin. com, Wuhan, August 5th (liuyong, Deng Fangyi, Fang Ji, Xu Jinbo) On the 5th, Gao Jiancheng, a hero of the "September 8th" flood fighting, was stationed in a certain unit of the Air Force in Han, and organized a commemorative activity of "Remembering the heroic spirit of fighting floods, carrying forward the fine work style and striving to be a pioneer in reforming and strengthening the army" to remember the 18th anniversary of the sacrifice of the 17th martyrs and realize the spirit of fighting floods.

  On the morning of the same day, more than 50 officers and men of Gao Jiancheng’s former army, more than 40 relatives of 17 martyrs who died heroically, and more than 100 flood-fighting witnesses, such as Huang Shunhua and Zhu Zhihong, first took a bus from Wuhan to the Martyrs Cemetery in Pazhouwan, Jiayu, Hubei. Together with officials from Jiayu County and Pazhou Bay, teachers and students from Pazhou Bay Blue Sky Flood Fighting Hero Middle School and local villagers, we presented a flower basket to the Gao Jiancheng Monument, paid tribute in silence, paid tribute to the tomb of the martyrs, and reviewed the pledge of joining the Party.

  In the afternoon, relatives of martyrs rushed to Gao Jiancheng’s company before his death, and visited Gao Jiancheng Memorial Hall, Gao Jiancheng’s dormitory before his death and army combat drills. In the Gao Jiancheng Memorial Hall, "Fighting floods and rescuing people, composing heroic songs, casting the military soul at the risk of one’s life" and "The hero has gone by white clouds, and the heroic spirit lives on in heaven and earth", and so on, a series of penetrating and shocking photos truly and vividly describe the revolutionary feelings of seventeen martyrs, such as Gao Jiancheng and Yang Desheng, who are firm in their beliefs, risk one’s life and forget one’s death, and forge ahead after another, which has moved their relatives and army officers and men.

  "Father, I want to wear this military uniform and finish your unfinished road!" Facing the portrait of his father Gao Jiancheng, Gao Jieyuan solemnly gave a standard military salute. She admits that when she was a child, she saw other children’s happiness accompanied by their fathers, and she didn’t understand her father’s feat of leaving the hope of life to others and going to save people without hesitation. It was not until she took the college entrance examination at the age of 18 that Tomb-Sweeping Day returned to her father’s old army, and for the first time, she was deeply aware of the power of faith after listening to the old-timers who fought floods and sacrificed themselves to save people.

  That night, she took part in the roll call of the company. When it came to "Gao Jiancheng", everyone answered "Here!" At that time, she suddenly burst into tears. "Dad has been gone for so many years, and the officers and men of the company have changed one after another, but this habit has never changed." She made an important decision to apply for military school. Now she took her father’s steel gun with her mature hands and became a member of the flood-fighting company of heroes.

  Although it has been 18 years since the sacrifice of 17 heroes fighting floods, the beds of the heroes are still preserved today and neatly arranged every day. Liu Hui, the political instructor of the army, said, "The spirit of fighting floods is a valuable spiritual wealth. In order to make the hero’s flag more red, we pay attention to inspiring officers and men through tradition. Whenever new recruits are assigned and new cadres are assigned, the first thing we do is to visit the Gao Jiancheng Memorial Hall. The first lesson in class is the heroic deeds of fighting floods. The first song we learned is Song of Gao Jiancheng. The first book we read is Men Have Tears, and the first film we watched is.

  Yan Guobin, political commissar of the Ministry, said that the hero sleeps in peace and the spirit lives forever. Through this commemorative activity, the officers and men were educated to learn from the heroes and heroes, who always kept in mind the purpose of our army and put the interests of the people first; Learn from their noble spirit of giving life hope to the people and leaving the danger of death to themselves in times of crisis and do or die; Learn from their valuable qualities of being fearless and fighting bravely, and turn the great fighting spirit of the martyrs into a powerful spiritual driving force for officers and men to join in the practice of reforming and strengthening the army, thus making due contributions to promoting the construction and development of the army.
