　　Li Yannian, who will turn 92 next month, is one of the representatives of the veterans.

He was also the winner of last year's "Republic Medal", when General Secretary Xi Jinping personally awarded him the medal.

　　In October 1951, Li Yannian served as the instructor of the 7th Company of a battalion of the Volunteer Army.

The battalion was ordered to counterattack a lost high ground.

Li Yannian recalled that he discovered that the enemy would launch a round of artillery attacks every 3 minutes or so. After mastering this law, he and his comrades used this gap to slowly touch them.

After fierce fighting, "the trees and thatch that hit the mountain are gone," and the high ground was finally taken back.

In the following year, Li Yannian was awarded the title of "First Class Hero" by the Volunteer Army Headquarters, and he was honored with merits.

Revelation 3: Development

China must persist in advancing economic and social development and continuously strengthen its overall national strength.

Any way of doing things on its own and acting alone Any act of hegemony, hegemony, or bullying is totally unworkable! Not only is it totally unworkable, it is bound to be a dead end in the end!"
