Event Recap | A Red Army Cap, Rooted in Patriotic Sentiment

At the start of the event, the “Skillful Hands, Artisan Spirit” DIY workshop for crafting Red Army caps took center stage. Staff had already prepared materials such as cardboard, scissors, glue sticks, and staplers, and with their parents’ help, the children carefully followed the step-by-step instructions. The little ones meticulously measured head circumference, attentively cut the cardboard, and then affixed the five-pointed stars… One by one, the Red Army caps—imbued with childlike charm yet steeped in reverence for the revolutionary forebears—were crafted in the hands of the children.

Immediately afterward, the educational session began. The presenter, speaking in vivid and engaging language, recounted the origins of the August 1st anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army—beginning with the gunfire of the 1927 Nanchang Uprising, bringing that history, imbued with founding aspirations and mission, vividly to life. The presenter then carefully traced the People’s Army’s development from its beginnings to its rise as a strong force, from the arduous Long March to the battlefields defending the homeland; each story deeply moved the audience. Finally, the presenter offered a detailed explanation of the military flag’s symbolism: its crimson field, the golden five-pointed star and the inscription 'August 1' all testify to the sacrifices and devotion of countless martyrs, and to the loyalty and sense of responsibility of the People’s Army.

The event concluded in a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere. This “Tang Gong’s Hometown—Red Stars Shining” themed activity not only deepened participants’ understanding of the People’s Army’s glorious history but also fostered a profound sense of patriotism and support for the military through hands-on engagement. The red heritage and Tang Xianzu’s cultural legacy converged, lending a unique significance to this year’s August 1st Founding Day and etching this special memory deeply into the hearts of all.
