The Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall is a national patriotic education base and one of the hundred classic red tourism sites across the country. Visits to the Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall will begin at 1:00 p.m. on November 3. First, all participants will watch Robert’s… Kappa, a renowned Hungarian‑American war correspondent of the twentieth century, left behind invaluable visual records of the Nanjing Massacre and the Battle of Taierzhuang for the Chinese people. Afterwards, we entered the memorial hall and listened intently as the docent recounted the details of the Battle of Taierzhuang. On April 3, 1938, at a critical juncture when two‑thirds of Taierzhuang had fallen to Japanese forces, the anti‑Japanese troops led by Li Zongren and Sun Lianzhong resolved to fight to the death. They ordered the demolition of the canal’s pontoon bridge, vowing to live or die alongside Taierzhuang, and dispatched suicide squads to launch night raids against the Japanese. Remarkably, within a single night, they recaptured three‑quarters of the territory that had been lost. This victory marked the first major triumph achieved by Chinese forces on the main front of the War of Resistance since the Marco Polo Bridge Incident. It uplifted the national spirit, boosted morale, and earned Taierzhuang the revered title—both at home and abroad—of “the place where the Chinese nation demonstrated its indomitable might.”

11 On the morning of the 4th, we set off for Weishan Lake. Along the way, together with our tour guide, we sang the revolutionary song “Plucking My Beloved Earth‑Pipa,” from the Railway Guerrillas, revisiting the passion and strength that this timeless classic continues to inspire. We also paid a visit to the historic sites associated with the Railway Guerrillas. Weishan Lake is a renowned memorial to modern revolutionary struggles. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, revolutionary armed units such as the Weihu Detachment, the Canal Brigade, and the Railway Guerrillas—based in Weishan Lake—operated within vast expanses of reed marshes and roamed the Jinpu Railway line, achieving countless heroic feats that are both inspiring and deeply moving.

The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is inseparable from the Chinese people’s Chinese Dream. The foundation and source of this dream lie in the glorious chapters of our nation’s history of resisting foreign aggression and in its past of enduring hardship. Only by weathering adversity can we forge greatness, and only by remembering history can we draw lessons from it. We must understand and reflect on the past, draw inspiration from the spirit of Taierzhuang, and make new and even greater contributions to the realization of the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation!

As the ancients said, “By using history as a mirror, we can understand the rise and fall of dynasties.” In fact, such a mirror not only reveals the lessons of past successes and failures but also helps us discern honor from disgrace, strengthen unity, and advance our nation. Through this event, all participants have come to clearly recognize that a happy life is hard-won, and they have gained an even deeper understanding that national humiliation must never be forgotten and that a sense of vigilance and preparedness must remain steadfast. Let us hold high the banner of patriotism, carry forward the great spirit of the Taierzhuang Resistance, and inherit the noble ethos of our revolutionary forebears—courageous sacrifice, selfless dedication, sincere solidarity, and unwavering resistance against aggression. Remaining true to our original aspirations and keeping our mission firmly in mind, let all departments work in concert to enhance the company’s cohesion, centripetal force, and combat effectiveness, thus writing a splendid new chapter in Yuegong’s development. We will vigorously strengthen Party building, give full play to the role of Party branches as strong fortresses, and ensure that Party members lead by example, striving with all our might to achieve the year’s goals and tasks.
