To mark the 81st anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, and to foster patriotic sentiment and revolutionary spirit among the youth, the county's Publicity Department, in collaboration with the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army Memorial Hall, organized the 2026 autumn semester "First Lesson" activity under the theme of "Telling Revolutionary Stories, Viewing the National Anthem Exhibition, and Forging a Foundation of National Defense."

The event, designed as a vivid red-themed ideological and political class for new students, saw the participation of over 740 teachers and students. During the session, attendees toured the exhibition "Iron-Blooded Songs: Liaoning and the Origins of the 'March of the Volunteers,'" which delves into the province's revolutionary history connected to the national anthem's creation.

Young student narrators took turns recounting the heroic deeds of figures such as Wang Fengge and Xie Linge, bringing to life the tragic episodes of the Xijiang Massacre and the arduous struggles of the anti-Japanese volunteer forces. These compelling narratives moved the audience and inspired a sense of determination. The event concluded with a collective screening of the revolutionary film "Fire in the Gold," allowing participants to deeply immerse themselves in the wartime era and reflect on the spirit of the martyrs.

By integrating an exhibition, storytelling, and film viewing, this initiative successfully embedded national defense education into the students' hearts and minds. Moving forward, the county plans to continue promoting red culture within schools, guiding young people to remember history, study diligently, and carry forward the revolutionary legacy while embracing the mission of their generation.
