Major General Luo Yuan,

60th birthday is coming soon, the world’s attention in the new China’s 60th anniversary celebration, the parade has a content, while not as dramatic side teams and equipment, but people full of reverence and emotion. This is to participate in celebrations of the “veterans.” They use their youth and blood, the creation and defense of the new China. When they ride the floats passing through Tiananmen Square, when we should be more food for thought, in the context of this national spirit of the moment, what we need to remember and commemorate? This time, Xinhua Military channel invitation to the CPPCC National Committee members, General Luo Yuan, also “party veteran team,” the proponent, asked him to talk about the “party veteran team” behind the story and his understanding of the National Day celebrations.

“veterans party team” thought long-awaited: Shrapnel senior party loyal to trigger inspiration

Moderator: You promote the National Day activities should veterans side team, when you have this idea?

Luo Yuan: This idea has been brewing for a long time, every time at the Great Patriotic War in Russia, Victory Day and World War II Allied victory in Normandy for the anniversary, they have veterans to participate in their commemoration. These veterans were seen dressed in military uniform, with Merit, hale and hearty to walk, I was filled with emotion, these old people are worthy of respect. Especially in Russia at the World War II 60th anniversary, these veterans from the reviewing stand in front by the time heads of state all stand up and applaud pay tribute to these veterans. President Vladimir Putin’s eyes is tears in their eyes, then I thought, when those of us founding generals, made a significant contribution to the establishment of the Republic of cheering veterans can accept this, accept this honor, but also to those of us old soldiers in the people of the world before the eyes of their presence. At that time I had this idea. During the two sessions, I solicit the opinions of some people, they also want the 60th anniversary of National Day celebrations in the reproduction of veterans in the figure, they all have this desire.

Luo Yuan: touched me most is that once there is a descendant of the revolutionary veteran wrote to me, our parents may have in their possession less than one kind, but they are definitely the party loyalty, many people go, they who are with the enemy shrapnel. Shrapnel on the trigger of our inspiration is the proposal I submitted the original power. In the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Republic can not forget the sacrifices of the martyrs for the Republic of ancestors, heroes, give them a lofty courtesy.

Moderator: You were proposed in the National Veterans side scored media attention, do not know how you look at the media to reflect?

Luo Yuan: This also reflects a popular opinion. I proposed this motion after the media made a report, I can receive almost daily letters from veterans, their desire and hope to Tiananmen Square to do a report on the party and the people to express loyalty to the party and the people. Recently the media has done a wide range of reports that my proposal has been adopted by the leaders and departments, I am also very happy. I filled out a word to express excitement, He veterans side team.

time is running out: and his father joined the revolution when the founding partners of the 22 remaining one

Moderator: I know your father is the famous long-Lo Green general, it is also with you “veterans complex” has a great relationship?

Luo Yuan: The need to do a little correction, my father was not general, he is an old Red Army, but then he would march into my party hidden front, so in 1955 endowed the time, from his experience and was granted the title of the job is no problem, but because it is hidden front comrades, he and the unsung heroes of the front cover, as did not get this honor, not delegated to the generals, but they unknown for the Republic of selfless dedication, their spirit is worth learning and respect. My father often talked about this issue, they are the pioneers of the revolution of countless survivors. I recently arrived in my hometown in Sichuan Guangyuan attended the unveiling of a red tower, my home Cangxi in the period 1933 to 1935, a total of 30,000 to the Red Army transportation outstanding sons and daughters. Cangxi was only 29 million people, there is a description of 10 individuals participated in the Red Army. These people to Yan’an, the rest less than 2,000 people. And my father joined the Red Army, 22 a small partner, until the founding of the left and then returned to his home when he was a man.

this so I am very touched that our founding generals, General Zhang Zhen endowed when emotions. These people are worthy of our remembrance and reverence. You talk about veterans complex is the cause of our fathers created is worthy of respect, is worthy of us to flourish. Veterans parade through this figure shows, not only for them a recognition of them as a compliment, more importantly, we do not forget the sacrifice for the establishment of the Republic of the martyrs, especially the unknown martyrs. We talked about forgetting the past means betrayal, also talked about those old comrades, we are not afraid of death, but we fear forgotten. If they create a cause in our generation to break, and I think this is our life-long regret, in our generation, or should they inherited the glorious tradition, carried forward.

veteran story: Ten Marshals seven seriously injured

Moderator: veterans you know how old the oldest there? There does not give you the most impressive of the veterans and their stories?

Luo Yuan: I know there are many veterans founding generals, but you can look at statistics, the founding of the Ten Marshals, ten generals have successively passed away. Lu Zhengcao old will now only one person. Founding will be, in my case, there was a mention 10 people, but now only 8 individuals remaining, which gave me a sense of urgency, if we do not put this honor to them, for us it is a pity, for The elderly are left with their regrets. They may not participate in the parade, but through these forms that the party and people have not forgotten them, and the people of their party an affirmation and praise, I think this form is necessary. In them reflects the Chinese people really excellent quality.

Luo Yuan: If the middle of what touched me the most? I was most touched one of our correspondents carried out a survey, he investigated a bit, is our founding generals who have many war wounds, seven seriously injured ten Marshal, Marshal Liu is the most injured. Ten generals, seven seriously injured, injury is the most general Xu Haidong. Military Academy last year, the 50th anniversary of establishment of the hospital, built a hospital Academia Historica, our generals Su Yu from scratch when cremation was found in three skull fragments, shrapnel along with this three generals Su Yu’s most personal hygiene. I was very touched by these stories, these founding generals, by their party loyalty, with love for the people, relying fearing neither hardship nor death of the spirit of the lay world, so in the 60th anniversary of when we can not forget for us to make a significant contribution to the world laid the founding of the generals.

still soldiers martial arts: a nation should have a masculine

Moderator: From your contacts, forces young people to think about now Revolutionary War heroes and martyrs?

Luo Yuan: This requires us to carry out patriotic education. In each of the young hearts have patriotism or heroism of the complex, this complex we have to mobilize and motivate. I think through this National Day military parade and the parade square to add veteran team, I think it will mobilize their hero worship, the passion of patriotism, it is very necessary. I talked to the local university to give them lessons, and once after I finished the lecture, many students took the stage, they are very excited that we have to join the army. I think this nation still has a military or martial arts, have this spirit, to have a masculine, how this masculinity is trained, he is not just empty talk that can solve the problems, needs very vividly national defense education, patriotic education, I think the National Day parade and veterans side teams in this regard reflects a very vivid, real education, to increase their patriotic enthusiasm, to enhance the taste of martial arts are still soldiers.

strict selection: Considering the physical condition and age structure of the

Moderator: The parade of veterans how you know? Their current situation how?

Luo Yuan: I know not a lot, the departments concerned through a rigorous selection process determined. I think they first take into account the physical condition of these old comrades, and the second is to consider their representation, considering their age structure. Although the small number, but represent different periods, the Red Army was not a lot of time, due to health reasons can not attend the rally, but still miss them in mind, remember them for the establishment of the Republic of these feats. Although I do not know to participate in the parade of these old comrades, but from some of the letters, visits, I also was moved. Come from the northeast Heilongjiang has a an old soldier, he was founding in 1949, when the Golden Water Bridge following the parade in person to listen to Chairman Mao Zedong announced the founding of the PRC, “Chinese people have stood up,” the old man called Zhang and . The old man Ning’an in Heilongjiang Province who joined the army in 1947, this year is 79 years old, he was once a division of a police soldier.

he heard my proposal, he is very excited at the time gave me a letter saying I was a kid the first time participated in the parade, now is the old man of nearly 80 I hope to have one last chance to party and the people of our loyalty. I was also put to the authorities of his desire to do a reflection, but because of limited number, this is mainly within the veterans here, do not disturb the veterans outside Beijing, so the team inside the square, Zhang and the elderly did not join . But I was very impressed that a few days ago I received his phone, he said he had come all the way with his daughter came to Beijing, he said, would also like to finally fight for something, to realize their aspirations. He said that even if I fail to realize, I’ve been to Beijing, the capital of the motherland can enjoy the atmosphere of this country to celebrate, but also forget my one wish. I said how do you know my phone, he said, through all aspects of the last to find my phone, I made this request.

also assured me again that he wishes to reflect the relevant departments to do, but limited due to various reasons, he may not be able to achieve his wishes, but we do sincerely wish that the health and longevity, safety the golden years, we should give him a high respect is the establishment of the Republic is who helped.

gradually improved: more veterans will attend the “party veteran team”

Moderator: We are talking about the past, “the old war hero,” and now you propose “veterans” is the word also means a broader sense?

Luo Yuan: because the proposals later, I received a lot of people’s letters and visits, they talked about, veterans should be included in the previous range is not fighting the Korean War, border counterattack, defending the homeland , participated in these war veterans. I think it may, over time, these old comrades, the veterans will enter into the “party veteran team,” the ranks, but this time because it is the 60th anniversary, we celebrate five years of a small, 10-year Daqing, in This is the Jubilee, the main founding fathers or recognition and praise for the establishment of the Republic to make a significant contribution to these veterans, for some of them become even more pressing. We count from 1949, when these old comrades are very small age, 15 years old to join the army, and now also 75 years old, so some of them, the more urgent, to the 70th anniversary of the founding 80 years, these old comrades alive a lot of not so urgent or to those founding heroes, give them a great honor. Later as time goes on, I think the Korean war, the border counterattack, these old comrades, veterans should also be included in the “veterans party team” in the.

“veterans side team,” This is the first set, so it needs some experience to explore, summarize, but also to explore a more robust, more reasonable, established some rules, also are explored, so that times the number is not a lot. After over time, will be more perfect.
