(Forge ahead in a new journey and build a new era of meritorious deeds, the Great American Frontier) Re-take the "First Transition to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea": ​​the spirit of protecting the home and the country is immortal

　　China-Singapore Netcom, July 9 (Tan Weiqi Liu Dong) After sorting out the historical texts related to the War of Resistance Against US Aggression and Aid Korea, Sun Lianhua closed his laptop, looked up at the Yalu River in the distance, and began to conceive the next cultural and creative products to be connected with the designer.

　　Sun Lianhua is the manager of Yalu River Guomen Scenic Spot Management Co., Ltd. in Ji'an City, Jilin Province.

In recent years, relying on the advantages of abundant red resources, Ji'an City has continued to deepen the integration and symbiosis of red industries, accelerated the high-quality development of the red tourism industry, and realized the deep integration of "red education + industrial development + global tourism".

　　Ji'an City is located in the southeast of Jilin Province, across the river from North Korea's "one city and three counties".

On October 16, 1950, the vanguard of the 42nd Army of the Chinese People's Volunteers took the lead in secretly crossing the river from Ji'an (now Ji'an) and entered North Korea.

As a result, Ji'an became the earliest expedition site to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and was called "the first crossing to resist US aggression and aid Korea".

　　During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, a total of 420,000 volunteer soldiers and 172,000 stretcher members assembled in Ji'an and rushed to the battlefield from the Yalu River Border Railway Bridge and the 16 pontoon bridges and underwater bridges on both sides. Thousands of carriages of military supplies were transported to North Korea. Batches of wounded in urgent need of returning home for treatment were transported back to China from North Korea.

　　On October 1, 2020, the Yalu River Guomen Scenic Spot was officially opened.

Sun Lianhua introduced that the scenic spot fully demonstrated the spirit of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea by taking advantage of its geographical advantages.

　　The underwater bridges and pontoon bridges that once helped volunteer soldiers cross the river have gone with the rolling water, but the Ji'an Yalu River Border Railway Bridge still stands tall.

Next to the solemn national gate of the port and the neat railway tracks, there are still bunkers with bullet holes left by planes. Walking on the bridge, the traces of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea on the bunker at the head of the bridge are faintly discernible.

　　Sun Lianhua said that this famous red tourist attraction in Ji'an attracts tourists every year.

"Since I came to work in the scenic spot in 2020, every time I explain it to the red study group, I feel different."

　　According to Sun Lianhua, all the guests who come to visit here want to know some historical details.

"As the heroic deeds were told by the docents one by one, people were deeply shocked and moved by the great spirit of the Volunteers to defend their home and country."

　　After the outbreak of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the people of Ji'an (now Ji'an) actively responded to the call of the state, devoted the whole city to support the battlefield, organized 10,000 stretcher teams to rescue 182,000 wounded on the Korean battlefield, and countless "civilian heroes" repaired railways, Transporting supplies, carrying the wounded, sewing clothes, making dry food... made this an important backup place for this great war.

　　In addition to the historical relics of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, Ji'an also has many relics of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, such as the site of the establishment of the First Route Army General Headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the "Red Army Cave" site in Zhi'an Village, Yulin Town, and the Anti-Allied Army in Zhi'an Village, Yulin Town. The site of the school, the site of the Laoling Conference, the site of the "Nianpan Conference" of the Wunu Peak, etc.

　　In the process of vigorously developing the global tourism industry in recent years, Ji'an City has invested a total of more than 30 million yuan, focusing on building and upgrading 10 high-quality on-site teaching points.

Ji'an City has also effectively connected red tourism with the construction of Yang Jingyu Cadre College. More than 100 on-site teaching sessions have been carried out, and a total of more than 10,000 people have been received.
