Early April.

The eve of Qingming Festival.

Jiangcheng No. 26 Primary School began to actively organize students to carry out activities to commemorate the martyrs’ cemetery.

Holding such meaningful activities regularly is intended to encourage students to inherit and carry forward the revolutionary tradition of hard work, hard work, firmness and optimism of our revolutionary ancestors.

Deepen "gratitude" education and revolutionary tradition education, strengthen patriotism education, and enhance students' sense of historical responsibility and mission.

Tomb-Sweeping Day is something Li Zhongxin has done many times from elementary school to middle school and high school. However, this is the first time he has participated in a tomb-sweeping event at the Martyrs Cemetery since his rebirth.

Li Zhongxin strongly agrees with the matter of sweeping the tombs of martyrs before Qingming Festival. Without these martyrs who sleep underground, and without so many martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for the country one after another, there would be no good life today.

Going to visit the tombs at this time is different from visiting the tombs in later generations. They all rely on foot measurement, that is, walking there, while the school teachers are on both sides of the students, taking care of these students all the way from the school to the Martyrs Cemetery.

The Jiangcheng Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Tower is located in the West Park of Xilin Park in Jiangcheng City. The tower was built on July 1, 1949. The ground building is organized into three parts: the tomb seat, the tower body, and the tower brake.

The base of the tower is of the Lemi seat type, with a square shape and four stacks. It is 7 meters long from east to west, 6 meters long from north to high, and 1.26 meters high. The body of the tower is in the shape of a quadrangular pyramid, and the top is a platform.

There is a tank at the bottom of the tower, shaped like an artillery shell. The base of the tower is a rectangular parallelepiped with a height of 2 meters, a length of 1.5 meters from east to west, and a width of 1 meter from north to south, with a "well" shape on it.

The tower body is 30 meters high. There are inscriptions on the four walls of the tower body, and the full name of "Martyrs Memorial Tower" is engraved on the south wall. Under the inscription is the pagoda word. There is also an inscription on the north wall, which is a dedication to the former Songjiang Provincial Government. To the east

The upper part of the wall is inscribed: "He has done great service to the country and the people, and his merits are as great as those of the sun and the moon." On the west wall is the inscription: "If you die fighting for the revolution, you will be honored even if you die."

Jiangcheng No. 26 Primary School is about five kilometers away from Jiangcheng Martyrs Cemetery. Because they are all primary school students, they need to cross the road under the supervision of teachers, and the walk is relatively slow. From Jiangcheng No. 26 Primary School, walk to the Martyrs Cemetery.

It almost takes nearly an hour.

And when you go to the Martyrs Cemetery to sweep the tombs, you have to hold a lot of ceremonies. In other words, you basically spend the whole morning at the Martyrs Cemetery.

The school basically follows the tradition of sweeping the tombs of martyrs every year. Students in the third and fourth years will sweep the tombs in the morning and have classes in the afternoon, while students in the fifth and sixth years will have classes in the morning and sweep the tombs in the afternoon.

After arriving at the Martyrs Cemetery, Zhang Ziyu, the new acting director of the school, began to preside over the Tomb Sweeping Day sweeping ceremony.

She stood there and read from the manuscript: "The green mountains are silent and the pines are bursting with waves. Today, in the name of revolution, we are here to recall the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country; to comfort the heroic souls with the reality of the rapid development of modernization. Please

All the young pioneers took off their hats and stood in awe, saluting the martyrs with a serious and respectful attitude.

After Zhang Ziyu said the salute, he silently counted the time. After about ten seconds passed, Zhang Ziyu's voice rose slightly and said, "The revolutionary martyrs fought bloody battles for the birth of New China and the happiness of the next generation.

, not afraid of sacrifice, dyed our red flag with blood. Please accept our sincere gratitude. Next, the glorious young pioneers will lay a wreath to the martyrs."

After laying the wreaths, there was a minute of silence, and then Zhang Ziyu introduced the situation of the Martyrs Cemetery. After that, Li Zhongxin went up to deliver a speech.

Li Zhongxin walked up to the third and fourth grade students, quickly raised his right hand above his head, and first performed a Young Pioneers salute very solemnly, and then stood in front of these students openly.

Li Zhongxin did not take out the speech like his director Zhang Ziyu, but stood there very casually and said directly and solemnly: "Today, we came here with the idea of ​​​​remembering the spirit of the martyrs and came to the place where countless heroes are buried.

In this place, the monument to the revolutionary martyrs standing in front of us is silently telling the glorious life of our heroes."

Li Zhongxin's solemn and deep voice was slightly raised, and he said solemnly: "Get up, those who don't want to be slaves, the red notes dancing in the loud and exciting military songs, they are our immortal heroes.

.

In those unbearable years, the people suffered from external and internal oppression and exploitation every day. Our heroes stood up at this time. They endured all the suffering they suffered in order to liberate China and liberate the people.

Let the people live in a peaceful and free environment. They chose the solemn and great cause of revolution. Through their unremitting efforts, we have the happy life today. The people's heroes gave up their own happiness, but in exchange for more

The happiness of many people.”

Li Zhongxin's voice suddenly became louder at this moment: "It was them, it was they who used their fallen bodies to build a smooth road for our happy life today. It was them, it was they who used their blood to activate the mountains and rivers that feed us.

, it is them, it is they who have nurtured the green trees and green mountains of China with their iron bones!"

After the high-pitched voice stopped, Li Zhongxin glanced at the dumbfounded students below. His voice gradually calmed down, and his speaking speed was even lowered. He said: "Standing in front of these great martyrs, are we fighting with them?"

We feel insignificant or even ashamed in the sharp contrast of others? No matter how we feel, we should realize that we need to reflect and learn. Look at ourselves now. After we talked back to our parents, in addition to feeling a moment of pleasure,

Have you thought about how your parents feel at this moment? Classmates, we need to think more about our heroes, think about how they conquered positions one after another in such a difficult environment, and think about how they looked so good when the enemy threatened them.

Calm and resolute. They are tenacious, perseverant, willing to die, and serve their country loyally. They will be heroes forever. This is what we should learn. With these fearless patriotic spirits, why should we worry about not being able to find the direction and will? With these hardships

With the heroic qualities of struggle, why should we worry that the country cannot be strong and strong, and the nation cannot prosper?

The martyrs' firm belief, persistent pursuit, bloodshed for the truth, and national spirit of devotion to the liberation of the motherland inspire us to open up a better future.

They dyed the color of the national flag red with their own blood, and they built the Great Wall with their own bodies. What do we need to do? How do we need to do it? That is to inherit their legacy and build New China stronger and more prosperous.

prosperity."

Li Zhongxin's speech was very successful. It shocked at least all the students in the third and fourth grades. They didn't care how Li Zhongxin came up with such a speech. They just knew that in Jiangcheng No. 26 Primary School, Li Zhongxin

He is definitely an awesome academic.

During the Qingming Festival martyrs' speech, Li Zhongxin had his own thoughts, which were the same many times. People had a sense of awe. He used his tone and tone to deliver this speech to these students, even if it could make people

It is also good for them to remember that most of the following classmates had a good relationship with Li Zhongxin in later generations, and he even had the idea of ​​​​helping these classmates.

Many times, helping people is not only about financial support, but also about spiritual wealth support. Many times, Li Zhongxin has the idea of ​​​​giving more inspiration to these students.
