After that publicity, to a reporter though small, but big in this valley where we live, work, still the same as before the standard is not reduced.

No construction materials, the county seat, they own, to the rolling of the Yarlung Zangbo River rapids fishing sand back in the stone, a few kilometers away from the fields back to back to the yellow clay fired bricks, 10 km from the mountain Kanghui limestone calcine. A long time, the officers and men each have been the backbone of the river was full of sand grain mill cut back injuries.

Also built power plants, changing the previous history of lighting by the resin.

Medog undoubtedly the most difficult to protect, the average annual provision for a military freight up to 10,000 yuan.

ancient souls are lonely

■ Chinese military network correspondent channel guest commentator Wu Zhenghua

outside known, loved ones is difficult to grave, in a few isolated snow-covered island Medog, 29 Name heroic sacrifice of border battalion, water lily seems like years, lying still in the “lotus blossom place.”

It reminds me of things together, Liberation Army Daily reporter Liu Sound East Director of the Department of the personal experience.

2010, the sound director of the East to the border interview, in particular, wanted to pay homage to what the martyrs buried in the mountains. Before he left him with a sincere heart fast shower, prepare in advance a tobacco, alcohol and other ritual items. In going along the way, has been pouring rain, misty smoke.

foot step next door, the sound toward the east Graves, director shouted: “Brothers, I see you it!” Somehow, the rain suddenly stopped, lonely valley of the response. After listening to the story, felt very moved, some sorrow and grief. – The ancient sages are lonely, martyrs and sages from the same.

long ago, the army newspaper reporter stationed in Tibet Reporters Sun Xingwei channel has launched the report “Kangxiwar – from heaven recent martyrs cemetery” in the Internet caused a strong reaction. Later, the sound director and specifically East exhorting him to have shot down every one tombstone, made an “online mourning” for those who can not get relatives and friends pay homage to Tibet, but also for people across the country pay their last respects. When the hall opened, Liberation Army Daily, president of Sun Xiaoqing, editor Huang Guozhu also personally presented a flower online. I am sure this news is by no means a simple idea, but a sound mind long-term director of the East – on the history of awe, respect and admiration of the martyrs!

for the establishment of the new China, more than 20 million martyrs who left his wife and other children, die in the battlefield, while the name only to test the 1.8 million! In other words, there are more than 12 million martyrs unsung heroes, their tombstones nowhere to be found, the bones may have already turned into a puff of smoke, with a handful of dirt, a pine!

a nation how to deal with heroes and martyrs, will be how to deal with history, the future will be how to deal with! Japan’s militaristic and trample China, committed unspeakable atrocities. However, they treat soldiers killed in the practice, it is worth thinking about. According to the “Battle of Matsuyama,” the author of the book describes more than Ge is served, the Japanese government and civil society organizations has not stopped the search for the bones of fallen soldiers and memorial activities. Matsuyama, Longling of people, almost heard the Japanese “reward” thing: a corpse for a car, a leg or Shougu replace TV.

“fight to a cavity blood, decorate my rivers and mountains.” In achieving the great rejuvenation of the long journey, we never forget those martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country! They would like to know the nether world, China Yong-woo!
