Thermal Interpretation

A four-hole remnant bridge stands in the Yalu River in autumn, with bullet holes in the steel beams, telling the story of the past.

  On October 23, a meeting to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ mission to resist the US and aid Korea was held in Beijing. General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the meeting and delivered an important speech.

In the speech, the general secretary quoted the lyrics "brilliant and energetic, crossing the Yalu River" at the beginning of the speech, and deeply recalled the magnificent course of resisting U.S. aid to Korea.

  At the end of the speech, the General Secretary once again meaningfully quoted this lyric, calling on everyone to "continue to march forward bravely toward the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and toward the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!"

  Looking back is to not forget the history; looking forward is to move forward better. The general secretary quoted the lyrics of "The Battle Hymn of the Chinese People's Volunteers" twice, which has profound meaning.

  History cannot be forgotten.

  In the autumn of 1950, on the banks of the Yalu River, the Chinese People's Volunteers went to fight in North Korea, which opened the prelude to the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

  The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was a modern war waged under conditions of extreme disparity between the forces of the two warring parties.

At that time, there was a huge gap in the national strength of China and the United States.

Under such extremely asymmetric and extremely difficult conditions, the Chinese People’s Volunteers worked closely with the North Korean soldiers and civilians. The first battle at Liangshuidong, the fierce battle at Yunshan City, the battle against the Cheongcheon River, the fierce battle against Changjin Lake, etc., carried out 5 consecutive battles, and then built another battle. Defensive positions in depth like copper walls and iron walls have carried out many offensive campaigns, smashing "strangulation wars", resisting "germ warfare", and bloody battles on Ganling, creating a mighty and majestic war.

  For the motherland, for the people, and for peace, more than 197,000 heroic sons and daughters gave their precious lives. After crossing the river, looking back at the motherland has become a farewell for many volunteer soldiers and relatives in their homeland.

  On the 23rd, a "picture" before the opening of the conference made many people cry: Volunteer veterans and comrades entered the venue. All the people stood up and applauded. The applause continued during the more than ten minutes of entering the venue.

  Although the veteran soldiers and comrades are already full of white hair and their legs and feet are not so dexterous, they are still full of energy and look as firm as they were before.

  In those years of blood and fire, the motherland called heroes and sons and daughters and forged steel warriors in war.

  "Always carry forward the spirit of patriotism where the interests of the motherland and the people are above everything else, for the dignity of the motherland and the nation, the spirit of revolutionary heroism that is brave and tenacious, and sacrifices life and death, and the revolutionary optimism that is not afraid of hardships and difficulties and always maintains high morale. The spirit, the spirit of revolutionary loyalty to fulfill the mission entrusted by the motherland and the people, to generously dedicate everything to oneself, and the internationalist spirit of striving for the cause of peace and justice for mankind, forged the great spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aid to Korea."

  At the meeting to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ mission to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, the general secretary praised the “great spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aggression” forged by these steel fighters with a sonorous and firm voice.

  This is not the first time the General Secretary has mentioned the "great spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aid to Korea."

  10 years ago, at a symposium to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ mission to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, Xi Jinping said emotionally: “The great spirit of resisting U.S. aggression and aid to Korea is a vivid portrayal of the lofty demeanor of the Chinese Communists and the People’s Army. It is the traditional virtue and national character of the Chinese nation. The concentrated display of patriotism is a concrete manifestation of the national spirit with patriotism as the core."

  Four days ago, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution to visit the theme exhibition "Remembering the Great Victory and Defending Peace and Justice-Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers' Fighting against the US and Aid Korea."

  When visiting the exhibition, the general secretary was full of self-confidence in his words: “The great spirit of resistance to US aggression and aid Korea forged in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is a precious spiritual wealth that will surely inspire the Chinese people and the Chinese nation to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and defeat all powerful enemies.”

  70 years ago, it was precisely by virtue of the great spirit of resisting the United States and aiding Korea that the brave Chinese People's Volunteers "pushed a punch to avoid a hundred punches" for the motherland, fighting for the peace of the country and the peace of the country; it eliminated the appointment of personnel since modern times. The centuries-old shame of slaughtering and admiring people’s breath has played out the spirit of the Chinese; it has defeated the invaders, shook the world, and made the world look at China with admiration...

  At present, a century of great changes and the epidemic of the century are superimposed on each other, and the world's instability and uncertainty have become more prominent.

Standing at the intersection of the "two centuries", we will embark on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and promote the grand goal of realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We still have many "snow mountains" and "grassland" that need to be crossed. "Loushan Pass" and "Lazikou" need to be conquered and more courage to "overcome all difficulties and obstacles and defeat all powerful enemies".

  "In the face of risks and challenges from all sides, and in the face of various resistance pressures, the Chinese people can always open the way in the mountains, build bridges in the water, always show great wisdom, bravery, and determination to forge ahead,'break a bloody road'!" At the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ going abroad to fight against the US and aid Korea, the general secretary’s voice was firm and confident.

  Since the beginning of this year, the General Secretary has repeatedly interpreted various spirits: the great spirit of the war against the Japanese, the great spirit of fighting the epidemic, the great spirit of resisting the US and aiding Korea... In the echo of history, he has led us to accept the baptism of thoughts and absorb the spiritual power to move forward bravely.

  "Fantastic and high-spirited, continue to march forward courageously towards the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and towards the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!"
