On August 1, to mark the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and to foster patriotic sentiment among young people while carrying forward the fine traditions of our revolutionary forebears, our museum organized a summer patriotic education program for youth titled “Carrying Forward the Red Legacy and Inheriting the August 1 Spirit.”
To guide young people in revisiting the red heritage and strengthening their ideals and convictions of love for the Party, the nation, and the military, our museum has launched a hands-on “Red Army Backpack” crafting activity. Museum educators first introduced the children to the various tools and materials needed for the project, after which the children, with parental assistance, began creating their own backpacks. With earnest little faces and meticulous handiwork, they reflected on the sacrifices of their forebears and came to appreciate the great revolutionary spirit. Once their creations were complete, the children eagerly held up their “little Red Army backpacks” for photos, their innocent faces beaming with bright, joyful smiles. This engaging, educational approach not only enhanced their practical skills but also subtly fostered their patriotic sentiments.
The children arrived at the auditorium on the third floor of Yumingtang. The docent first asked how much everyone knew about the August 1st Founding Day of the People’s Liberation Army, then played an educational video explaining the origins of the holiday and provided explanations for several key terms featured in the clip.
At the conclusion of the event, the docent also provided an overview of the exhibition, “Appreciation of Ancient Anti-Corruption Couplets: The Chapter on Loving the People.” Using classic couplets from government offices of the Ming and Qing dynasties as examples, the exhibition elucidated their meanings and interpretations, showcasing the Chinese nation’s time-honored principles of governance, people-centered philosophy, self-discipline, and a spirit of proactive dedication. By nurturing the mind with China’s fine traditional culture, it seeks to guide young people toward healthy growth through the values of diligence and integrity.
This August 1st themed event aims to thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, celebrate the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, and fully leverage the memorial hall’s educational mission and its role as a public‑facing platform for publicity. By doing so, it seeks to further promote the spirit of patriotism and foster a strong societal atmosphere of supporting the military and honoring their families.
