Appreciating the National Defense Picture of "The Kingdom of Heaven"
"One Chengdu will be opened in nine days, and thousands of households will enter the picture." "Jiannan's mountains and rivers are clear, and the world is rare by the Jinjiang River"...Since Li Bing and his son dug the Dujiangyan, Chengdu's "floods and droughts follow people, but they do not know how to starve. The "land of heaven" in the "Abandoned Year" has gone through the vicissitudes of the sea and has been known for thousands of years.
Looking back, the governor of Shu County, Li Bing, did not control the water for military purposes. The Dujiangyan water conservancy project completed by it irrigated the country of Tianfu. The rich land of Shu provided powerful support for Qin sweeping the Liuhe and unifying the six nations, and has since become China's strategic rear. It has also formed a unique spiritual temperament of "water-like randomness and bamboo-like tenacity" based on richness and warmth.
Dujiangyan, Wuhou Temple, Chuanjun, J-20... Read this series of "Shu Map Language" that seem to be borderless but organically connected. The reporter discovered in this famous southwest historical and cultural city with a history of more than 2,300 years of urban construction. The tenacious traits are marvelously integrated into the development of history, culture, and society, and infiltrate the defense construction of this important southwestern town.
Integrating the concept of national defense into the blood of the city
Passing through the misty green fog and all over the green, starting from Dujiangyan, the world-famous water conservancy project of Minjiang River, and driving for more than 70 kilometers towards Chengdu, in the green fields beside Huanglongxi Ancient Town, stands a wide camp: Chengdu, Sichuan Province National Defense Education and Training Base.
Stepping into it, the military training area, weapon model exhibition hall and other areas are clearly divided and equipped with complete facilities. "We mainly strengthened the national defense education by carrying out military training of students, health care and other subjects." Wu Qingming, who has been an instructor since the base was established in 2008, told reporters that the base has trained more than one million people so far and was evaluated in September 2012 "National Demonstration Base for National Defense Education".
Chengdu is not a city with distinctive national defense characteristics, but there are many similar national defense education and training bases and juvenile military schools that focus on the promotion and popularization of national defense knowledge and skills practice, and live in harmony with the leisurely capital. National defense infiltration, such as the Dujiangyan that moistened the Chengdu Plain, has been endless since ancient times.
The "net red landmark" wide and narrow alley is famous for the leisure life experience of old Chengdu. Who would have thought that over 300 years ago, this was a heavily guarded city. After Kangxi settled the chaos in Junggar in 57 years, more than a thousand soldiers were selected to station in Chengdu, building a city on the basis of the Shaocheng in that year, with 8 official streets and 42 soldiers alleys. The Xingren Hutong is now widely known as Kuan Alley. The Taiping Hutong is a narrow alley. The Kuan Alley is occupied by civil and military officials, and the Narrow Alley is occupied by soldiers. Today, the old wall at the gate of No. 32 of the narrow alley still has the horse stone...
The "Most Chengdu" People's Park was built in 1911. It is now a national defense education theme park in Chengdu. Every National Memorial Day and important commemorative day of party history and military history, commemorative activities will be organized here. People in Chengdu love to drink tea and enjoy the chrysanthemums and avoid the summer heat. Tourists will squeeze out half a day and experience the ease of drinking tea, picking ears and other city life along the bamboo forest stream. Leisurely, 12 memorial facilities including the Sichuan Army Anti-Japanese Memorial, Modern National Defense Technology Art Relief, Sichuan Anti-Japanese Generals Story Corridor, etc. are distributed among them, making people inadvertently intrigued. Many parents took their children to walk among them, and realized that the quiet years are hard to come by.
"Good rain knows the season, when Chun Nai takes place." In Chengdu, which has been awarded the "National Model City with Two Supports" for seven consecutive times, national defense infiltration is like ancient poetry depiction-
Dozens of national defense education bases and anti-Japanese war memorial facilities and venues in the city are offered preferential or free access to national defense education activities; the city’s National Defense Education Society lecturer group conducts special lectures based on well-known cultural forums, and has invited Jin Yinan and other military experts to teach; National Defense Education Day is held in the National Civil Air Defense Exercise; national defense-related content is released on major media platforms throughout the city at important time points such as the Army Construction Day and National Day...
November 11, 2019 is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Air Force. Various types of news media in Chengdu publish the construction achievements of the People’s Air Force in the past 70 years. Traffic mobile TV and outdoor display scrolling messages. "The Motherland's Blue Sky" theme photography exhibition is open for free. There are endless stream of citizens who come to visit the exhibition. Many people leave a message with deep affection, express their respect to the soldiers, and praise for the national defense construction.
National Defense Imprint Rooted in Urban Alley
"The window contains Xiling Qianqiuxue, and the door of Dongwu Wanli boat."
As the strategic rear, Chengdu has experienced several migrations after the large-scale immigration wave of "Huguang filling Sichuan" in the Qing Dynasty. With the migration of the population, there are cultures of different regions and strong national defense atmosphere-
During the Anti-Japanese War, 27 universities in the North moved to Chengdu, and more than 200 factories in East China and Central China moved to Sichuan. Many people chose to stay when they moved back. After 1949, a large number of military and political cadres went south to Sichuan. Beginning in the late 1950s, with Chengdu as the center, thousands of factories and scientific research institutions were relocated to carry out third-line construction involving key areas such as national defense technology, industrial transportation, etc...
A reporter visited the site and found that some of the arsenals were only code-named at the time, and some of them settled into urban memories with the development of the times, but there are still many scattered in Chengdu. Aircraft design, aerospace communications, engines, optoelectronic instruments... Listening to the name alone, the cutting-edge, "hard air" breath will come.
In Chengdu, everyone talks about "Cheng Fei". The full name of "Chengdu Aircraft Industry Co., Ltd." "Chengfei" has already become the pride of Chengdu people. The J-20 and J-10 series fighters were developed and produced here.
This has created Chengdu's proudest national defense memory. Founded in 1958, the original name of "Chengfei" was "State-run 132 Factory", which was one of the 156 key construction projects of the national "Five-Year Plan". Experts and workers have gathered from the north and south of the river to develop and produce dozens of models and thousands of aircraft, including the J-7 series and J-10 series, and have become an important research and production base for Chinese fighter jets. In recent years, "Cheng Fei" has appeared with the highlight of the J-20 fighter, constantly consolidating my country's national defense strength.
When the national defense culture is rooted in the city, it has the power to "dive into the night with the wind". Another old arsenal in Chengdu has been transformed into a "dream factory" for cultural and creative industries. At the gate of a factory in Gaopan Road, Chengdu, the reporter saw "People's Liberation Army No. 732 Factory" written on either side of the gate, and "BY YOUNG·1906 Creative Factory" on the other side. Browsing historical pictures along the blue brick wall decorated with the slogan "One inch of mountains and rivers and one inch of blood, one hundred thousand youths and one hundred thousand soldiers"
In 1877, Chengdu founded the first Sichuan Bureau of Machines that used machines to manufacture guns and ammunition. The white medicine factory, built in 1906, produced gunpowder for the machine bureau. In 1939, it was changed to the 50th Factory Apprentice School of the Ordnance Department. After taking over in 1950, the People's Liberation Army established a professional support service base for ordnance equipment. In 1964, it was renamed as the 7322 factory, and once made important contributions to national defense construction.
Big hidden in the city. Through it, the old gunpowder smell has long been dissipated. More than 50 cultural and creative enterprises such as sports and fitness and film and television creation have gathered in the red brick factory building and the old office building full of creepers. The vicissitudes of life are full of modern culture. Throughout Chengdu, the reporter found that there are many industrial ruins and cultural parks created by governments at all levels, as well as Dongjiao Memory, Sichuan Gear Factory Memory Museum, etc. Many young people are rushing, while pursuing fashion, they can also learn about History, feel the defense imprint of this city.
National Defense Construction Expands City Vision
"The most cattle air force class! A class of 17 people are recorded as air force pilots! The Sichuan University High School is great..." In the summer of 2019, a hot news on the social platform brought the aviation experiment class of Sichuan University Affiliated High School into sight.
"The aviation experiment class has been incorporated into the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Education, Science and Technology Bureau and the Municipal Science and Technology Association's'Chengdu Top Innovative Talents Early Cultivation' project." The leader of the Chengdu Selection Center of the Air Force Flight Flying Bureau introduced them in accordance with the "Multiple Support" mechanism, exploring new models for early training of military flight personnel, rigorously selecting during the senior high school entrance examination, and cultivating ahead of high school. In the first aviation experiment class graduated in 2018, 17 people passed the Air Force University of Aeronautics flight training student. The second experiment graduated last year Another 17 people were admitted.
"Suishu·Geography" said that the Chengdu people are "student free." In fact, the people of Chengdu under the influence of Bashu culture will quickly put away their leisure nature at a critical moment and change into a brave state.
The "Long Sky Guardian" who flew out of Chengdu Plain left their dreams in the air: Jiang Jiaji, the only pilot of the Air Force who won the "Golden Helmet" and former brigade commander of a brigade in the Western Air Force Air Force, came from Chengdu Lie 5 Middle School. At the 2014 Zhuhai Air Show, four female pilots of the Chinese Air Force's first batch of fighter jets soared drove the J-10 fighter, and three of the female pilots were selected by the Air Force Flying Bureau Chengdu Selection Center to join the army.
Urban character comes from inheritance. Chengdu, which has been nourished by the feelings of its home country since ancient times, was the only city in the capital city of the country to include the title of 4 “National Shuangyong Model City (County)” in 2016. Among them, there is an ancient town of Anren in Dayi County between Chongzhou and Qionglai, which is the hometown of Liu Xiang, a famous anti-Japanese war. The nearby Jianchuan Museum and other national defense education bases are well-known.
"For peace, collect war". The Warriors Group Carving Square, the Anti-Japanese War Veteran's Handprint Square, the Mainstay Pavilion, and the Sichuan Army Anti-Japanese War Pavilion... Being in the Jianchuan Museum seems to return to the era of bloody struggle. After the July 7th Incident, Liu Xiang led 300,000 Sichuan troops out of Sichuan to resist Japan. "The enemy did not withdraw from China one day, and the Sichuan army vowed not to return home." Liu Xiang's will before the death of the frontline has been deaf. General Wang Mingzhang, who is also from Chengdu, led more than 5,000 soldiers to Tengxian County, and finally died martyred.
The reporter saw the same set of historical pictures in the Jianchuan Museum and the Chengdu Museum: During the War of Resistance Against Japan, hundreds of thousands of people wore stars and wore their shoulders and carried on their shoulders, building and expanding military airports around Chengdu. Looking for the name of the airport, the reporter was pleased to find that many of the "sky roads" built for the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan still have "eagles" flying and landing. In the anti-epidemic struggle this spring, multiple transport planes such as the Yun-20 took off several times from airports built during the War of Resistance against Japan, transporting military medical personnel and medical supplies to Wuhan.
Over time, this hot spot is full of surprises. On August 17, 2019, the world's first "Sanxingdui" AI satellite named after the ancient civilization site was launched into the sky, which helped promote the development of the Guanghan space industry in Chengdu and the construction of the "satellite city" in the southwest; on November 20, the Chengdu ship was commissioned The North Sea Fleet of the Chinese Navy, this modern air defense destroyer is riding the wind and waves to protect the sea...
The years that have passed quietly will never change the national defense feelings. These satellites bearing the Chengdu brand lift off and the warship launches, which is hung on the hearts of the Chengdu people and expands the defense vision of the Chengdu people.
