Enjoy the increasing prosperity of China and be grateful for the care of the motherland

When asked about his feelings about participating in the military parade, Mr. Xu said that the feeling cannot be expressed in words. He was excited and excited. Teacher Guo Yanhai from the retired personnel office of w88 casino was entrusted by the w88 casino to accompany and take care of the elderly. He stayed there for more than ten days until the military parade concluded successfully. Teacher Guo clearly remembers that on the eve of the military parade, the old man tossed and turned unable to sleep because of his excitement. He got up very early and put on his New Fourth Army uniform and medal of honor to welcome the glorious moment of the military parade. It can be seen from his face that he is full of excitement at this moment, because he knows that he represents the countless martyrs who fought bravely and sacrificed their lives to protect the Chinese nation from Japanese imperialist aggression, and represents the countless brave anti-Japanese veterans. He must be in the best condition to accept the review of President Xi, the motherland and the people. After the event, Mr. Xu wrote down the victory of participating in the Anti-Japanese War70The anniversary military parade brought him pride and joy. "This is the happiest enjoyment and greatest honor in my life, and it is the greatest care given to me by the party and the country. Mr. Xu described his feelings about participating in this extraordinary military parade. In the majestic and solemn military parade ceremony, the twelve parade vehicles of veterans became the center of attention. "The moment we passed the Tiananmen Gate Tower, we saw Chairman Xi waving to us on the tower. Look. When I saw the leaders of the party and the country and the leaders of various countries, I felt indescribably moved in my heart." When this commemorative event with the largest scale, the largest audience, and the widest influence was displayed in front of Mr. Xu's eyes, he once again felt the power of the motherland. "China is now the strongest and the best! "Mr. Xu commented proudly.

Before officially participating in the military parade, Mr. Xu and other veterans were organized to stay in a hotel near Tiananmen Square. This is not only for the convenience of veteran comrades to participate in the military parade, but also for the respect and care of the party and the country for these veteran soldiers who have made outstanding contributions to the independence and liberation of the country and nation. For more than ten days, we checked the bodies of the Anti-Japanese War veterans, and medical staff measured their blood pressure regularly every day to understand their health status. Anti-Japanese War veterans communicated here, and Mr. Xu met his comrades who also belonged to the First Division of the New Fourth Army there. When they met, their shared experiences took them back to the prosperous days when they struggled for the same ideal.

Recall the legendary stories of youth and encourage young people to strive bravely

The story of Xu Wentong seems to be a legend to ordinary people.1412252_1231414Years old, in the eyes of ordinary people, is still an age of innocence and laughter. Therefore, the head of the New Fourth Army tried to send him back to his hometown, but Xu Wentong was very determined. He stayed in the liberated area and became a soldier. Next,16Join the party at the age of 12444_12450|After liberation, he was sent to study at the Renmin University of China. Due to his outstanding performance, he was selected as a graduate student a year and a half later. After graduation, he successively served as a lecturer, director of the teaching and research section, and division director at the Renmin University of China and Tsinghua University.Xu Wentong writes his legend step by step. People thought he was a genius and a miracle, but Xu Wentong didn't think so. He knew that what he had put in was an effort that was rare for others. When others read a book, he read ten. When others were watching movies and playing, he studied hard in the bookstore. Only in this way did he, who graduated from elementary w88 casino, excel in all aspects of his undergraduate studies and became an academic talent among the soldiers.

“The first thing is to be confident, and the second thing is to learn to work hard” Xu Wentong told contemporary college students. If he is not confident enough, he will not have the opportunity to stand out among a group of people older than him, and will not be recommended to graduate students, and he will not be able to rise step by step in academia; and if he does not work hard, his knowledge will only stay at the elementary w88 casino level, so how can he learn to serve the motherland and enjoy life. Even now, Mr. Xu will go to the book city once a month. He said that there is never too much knowledge, and only those with knowledge can go more smoothly on the road of life.

Never forget the dream of art when you are old, and spare no effort to serve the motherland

Before personally participating in the military parade, Xu Wentong never thought that he would participate in the commemoration of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in such a way, so he was grateful. He buried this gratitude deeply in his heart, because he believed that the best way to repay the motherland was to use his talents and residual enthusiasm to do something for the country.

Although Mr. Xu is eighty-five years old, he makes certain arrangements for his life every day, painting an oil painting and writing a few novels. Xu Wentong's small living room is filled with paintings he creates day after day. He has also written an autobiography about his experiences and is looking for a suitable time to publish it. Painting has been a hobby for the old man for more than 20 years. Whenever a guest comes to visit the old man, the old man will always warmly invite the guest to learn painting with him. Painting is not only a hobby for the elderly, but also a source of happiness for the elderly. After participating in the military parade, Mr. Xu Wentong thought that he could do his part for the motherland and the w88 casino through his paintings. He hopes to let more people see his paintings by holding art exhibitions, and he even wants to donate the proceeds from selling his paintings to the w88 casino and to the students.
