On September 3rd, I was invited to attend the Commemoration Ceremony for the 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and I felt extremely excited about it.
This time, as a representative of entrepreneurs from Dongcheng District,Beijing, I was invited to participate in the "September 3rd Military Parade". As an entrepreneur, being able to witness this historical moment is indeed a great honor!
Tiananmen Square has turned into a sea of flowers. Like all the guests attending the ceremony, I took photos excitedly to remember this great moment. Watching the military parade on the spot was an extremely exciting experience. Especially when the National Flag was raised and tens of thousands of people sang the National Anthem in unison on Tiananmen Square, I felt as if the blood all over my body was burning.
Of course, watching the Military Parade on site was even more shocking, but what I want to share with you most are the three moments that touched me at the scene.
Witnessing the Ceremony Side by Side with Veterans of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression
The most exciting part was being able to witness the ceremony side by side with veterans of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. On their wrinkled faces, I saw the deepest scars of the Chinese nation. And the military medals on their chests represent the strongest backbone of our nation. At the 60th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance, 700,000 people were awarded the 60th anniversary commemorative medals; by the 70th anniversary, the number of people who received the commemorative medals was less than 200,000; it is said that the number of people who received the 80th anniversary commemorative medals is less than 10,000. When the reviewing fleet passed by, I saw the veterans of the War of Resistance saluting to the audience, and tears welled up in their wrinkled eyes. I think at this moment, the people they miss the most must be their comrades-in-arms, and the words they most want to say must be: "This prosperous age is as you wished!"
The Hongqi Car with License Plate Number 1945
When the Hongqi car with license plate number 1945 appeared in front of the reviewing team, I was instantly in tears. The Hongqi car with license plate number 1945 carries the heroic souls of countless martyrs who fought against Japanese aggression and bears the motherland's deepest nostalgia for them..
All the National Strategic Weapons Made Their Debut
More than 80 years ago, a poor and weak China fought against the invaders with "millet plus rifles", and the casualty ratio was as high as 1:4.
During the military parade at the founding ceremony in 1949, due to the small number of aircraft, they had to fly twice.
The biggest highlight of this military parade was that all the national strategic weapons made their debut. Dongfeng-61, J-20S and other heavyweight weapons made their appearances in the September 3rd Military Parade, and the steel torrent was unstoppable. The weapons and equipment participating in this parade were all selected from domestic active-duty main battle equipment, and the proportion of new equipment making its debut for the first time was very large, and the amount of information far exceeded expectations. "My knowledge can't keep up with the speed of equipment updates, and even I, a military fan, have become a military layman." When 12 large missile transport vehicles carried the Dongfeng-5C liquid intercontinental strategic nuclear missile - with a strike range covering the whole world, who understands the gold content of these words.
J-16D, J-20, J-35A, J-20S, and J-20A formed two echelons and flew across the sky. A variety of new stealth fighter jets have been commissioned into the motherland's airspace, which must never be violated. Among them, the highly watched J-20S is the world's first twin-seat fifth-generation fighter jet. Also making their collective debut were the new Y-9Q anti-submarine aircraft, Y-9Z electronic reconnaissance aircraft, and Y-9LG electronic warfare aircraft, which are the new special support forces of the navy and air force. The carrier-based aircraft echelon, including J-15DH, J-15DT, and J-35, made their public appearance at the same time, filling people with pride from every angle. From land-based strategic weapons to underwater sharp swords, and then to aerial war eagles, China has shown its strength to deter the world.
Over 80 years of trials and hardships, the weaponry and equipment of the Chinese military have gone through five development stages: from "millet plus rifles" to mule and horse mobility, motorization, mechanization, and finally information-based intelligentization. Today, we can comfort the martyrs: we have all these advanced equipments, and the motherland's aircraft no longer need to fly twice. Did you see that?
Final Note
On September 3rd, when the reviewed fighter jets flew over the Temple of Heaven, I was in tears at this moment of the intersection of ancient and modern times. As a post-60s entrepreneur, I have witnessed with my own eyes the vicissitudes of the motherland from being in ruins to being prosperous. History tells us that "backwardness leaves one vulnerable to attack". As Chinese people, we must remember history; and as entrepreneurs, only by serving the country through industrial development can we undertake the mission entrusted to us by the times. I have no regrets about being born in China in this life, and I vow to gather the stars with the faint light of my own!
