Watch the Grand Military Parade—Showcasing New Achievements in Strengthening the Military

The grand parade, unprecedented in scale and deeply inspiring, was held today. General Secretary Xi Jinping reviewed the troops participating in the parade. The parade proceeded in two stages: the review ceremony and the march-past. This parade marks the first time that, under the leadership of Comrade Xi Jinping at the core of the Party Central Committee, the entire Party, the armed forces, and people of all ethnic groups across the country have united to embark on a new journey of fully advancing Chinese-style modernization. It also represents a fresh debut of the People’s Armed Forces as they celebrate the centenary of their founding. A total of 45 formations—both square and echelon formations—participated in this parade. Most of the weapons and equipment displayed made their debut, vividly demonstrating the enduring legacy of the heroic units that fought in the War of Resistance and fully showcasing the new image of the People’s Armed Forces in the new era: its renewed focus on political building, its newly optimized force structure, its significant progress in modernization, and its enhanced effectiveness in combat readiness and war preparation.

As General Secretary Xi Jinping led us in singing the national anthem, as the aerial formation sliced through the sky, and as the majestic marching troops advanced past Tiananmen Square, each scene filled me with soaring excitement. As a member of the branch company, I feel both proud to be a Party member and deeply aware of my own responsibilities—the spirit of resistance is the wellspring of strength that enables us to overcome any challenge. Moving forward, I will remain committed to my post, honing my skills with greater rigor and carrying out my work with even more practical actions. I’ll integrate my sense of responsibility for the rejuvenation of the nation into my daily routine, contributing steadily to the development of our enterprise and the strengthening of our country.

Energy Party Branch, Ning Pengfei:

Watching the grand September 3rd military parade filled my heart with profound emotion. It was not only a heartfelt tribute to the victory of the War of Resistance but also a solemn pledge for peace. The soldiers of the three armed forces marched with resolute steps, and the new-generation equipment made their majestic debut, showcasing China’s powerful military prowess. As I listened to General Secretary Xi Jinping’s firm and inspiring speech, I once again reflected on that historic period and became even more firmly convinced that “without the Communist Party, there would be no New China.” We must remember history, cherish peace, and transform our patriotic feelings into a fighting spirit, contributing wholeheartedly to the rejuvenation of our nation.

Environmental Party Branch, Fu Lu:

The September 3rd military parade stirred up deep emotions in every Chinese citizen. The perfectly synchronized formations stood as firm and unyielding as an iron Great Wall; the advanced and sophisticated equipment gleamed with the brilliance of cutting-edge technology. Together, they showcased the mighty might of our armed forces and national prestige. The debut of numerous new types of equipment especially highlighted the rapid development of our military strength. As I watched the spectacular sight on the parade ground, I felt immensely proud of my country’s strength and became even more determined to cherish peace and forge a bright future. In my work, I will strive even harder, boldly innovate, and achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness.

Chemical Engineering Party Branch, Lin Chen:

Watching the military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the War of Resistance still fills me with excitement and pride. Within those neatly arranged formations lies the fine legacy passed down through generations of soldiers; the sophisticated equipment on display vividly demonstrates our country’s ever-strengthening national defense capabilities. Most unforgettable was when seven fighter jets flew past the Qiyun Hall at the Temple of Heaven, leaving behind 14 trails of colorful smoke in the sky—a gesture that not only symbolizes the Chinese nation’s 14-year-long arduous struggle against aggression but also reflects our enduring spirit of self-reliance from ancient times to the present. Moving forward, I will draw strength from the spirit of the War of Resistance and turn it into the driving force behind my diligent work, approaching each task with earnestness and dedication.

Functional Party Branch, He Shengcai:

Watching the troops of the new-era military branches march forward with firm and resolute steps, and seeing the latest equipment and weaponry firmly safeguarding national defense and security—作为一名退役老兵 and a Party member—I feel an indescribable surge of excitement deep within. Looking back on the humiliation endured by the Chinese nation in recent and modern history, and recalling my own years of military service, my faith has become even more steadfast at this very moment. In his speech, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that history not only carries the past but also illuminates the future. As an employee of a state-owned enterprise, standing at the threshold of a new era of development, I am determined to give my all and contribute outstanding achievements to enhance the company’s high-quality development!

Company Union, Yang Daizhu:

The iron armor gleams brilliantly in the red sunlight, while silver eagles pierce through the mist and streak across the vast sky.

A century of blood and fire etches our original aspiration; a triumphant song reverberates through the heavens.

The martyrs once filled the ravines with their flesh and blood; today, we safeguard our mountains and rivers with powerful tools. We have taken up the baton of peace that transcends time and space, forging ourselves into the cornerstone of national rejuvenation. The company’s trade union will unite all employees, stand in solidarity with the Party, fight alongside it, strive diligently and achieve remarkable feats, and wholeheartedly devote ourselves to the vibrant practice of fully building a modern socialist country!

Youth League Branch Secretary Wang Yulong:

What impressed me most about this military parade was the emergence of a new array of information-based and unmanned combat units. In this new era, warfare is no longer simply a matter of frontal engagements; rather, it has evolved into a multifaceted, all-around form of combat. We must continuously draw on lessons from global conflicts, keep innovating and reforming ourselves, and always remain at the forefront of the world. As a member of the Communist Youth League, I will steadfastly follow the leadership of the Communist Party of China, infuse the spirit of combat and innovative thinking into my daily work, actively harness the power of youth, and keep striving tirelessly for the prosperity and strength of our motherland.
