CCTV News: During the Qingming Festival, family and country will celebrate together. We commemorate the revolutionary ancestors who have sacrificed for the country, the people, and for peace. At 5 a.m. on April 3, students from the first grade of senior high school in Guyuan No. 2 Middle School in Ningxia and the first grade of junior high school in Hongwen Middle School in Guyuan City set out from the school and hiked to the Renshanhe Martyrs Cemetery 27 kilometers away to commemorate the more than 300 martyrs who were sleeping there, and the whole journey was 108 miles. The two middle schools have been hiking for 30 years.

Amid the cheers of parents, the students embarked on the journey to Renshanhe Martyrs Cemetery. Along the way, the students held up the red flag, sang red songs together, and walked forward in unison. On the road, Huangmao Mountain has a undulating terrain and rugged roads. On the winding mountain road, students support each other, encourage each other, and overcome difficulties together.

After more than five hours of difficult journey, teachers and students arrived at the Renshanhe Martyrs Cemetery, and the students observed silence to the revolutionary martyrs, presented flowers, and wiped the tombstones. In 1949, the first battle of liberating Ningxia was launched in the Renshanhe battle, and 364 People's Liberation Army soldiers died heroically and buried here forever.

He Chengjiang, Party Secretary of Guyuan No. 2 Middle School, said that an unforgettable walk is better than a hundred empty preachings. This is to combine small ideological and political education with large ideological and political education, so that ideological and political education can move from indoor to outdoor, so that students can understand virtue from their perception, to emotional level, to practice virtue, and finally become their value, their thoughts, their culture and cognition. A walk just hones students' willpower, quality, endurance, and also reflects team spirit.

"Walking Ideological and Political Course" understands the spirit of inheritance in history

Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains, how can future generations forget their worries about the country? Since 1995, every year, the hiking memorial during the Qingming Festival has been a "walking classroom". From the initial way of letting students exercise and cultivating the spirit of hard work and perseverance to guiding young people to "button the first button of their lives" and inspiring their patriotic enthusiasm and struggle, the connotation of this "ideological and political course" that has been walking for 30 years has been continuously enriched.

54 kilometers of journey, more than 10 hours of walking, this "ideological and political course" that lasted for 30 years. Why do you need to hike back and forth? What should you stick to it? How can the baton pass on generation after generation?

The principal of the former Guyuan No. 2 Middle School said that through this matter, students can realize that life has to endure hardships, and they must practice and experience life themselves in the process. In this way, he can understand his hard work for his class teacher and his love for his parents from life.

Zhang Hongmei is the head teacher of Class 2, 2nd High School, Guyuan No. 2 Middle School. As a student and teacher, she hiked five times in Shanhe Martyrs Cemetery. The change of identity made her feel different from others about the "Trekking for the Heroes of Hundred Miles" activity.

To this day, students who participated in the hiking ceremony of the Renshanhe Martyrs Cemetery commemorating heroes said that regardless of work, life and study, they learned to see hope in difficulties and realized the connotation of "there is faith in the heart and strength under their feet."

On February 24 this year, this activity in Guyuan City became a typical case of local ideological and political education. "29 Years of Ideological and Political Practice Class" was selected as an excellent case of national ideological and political courses.

Multiple guarantees Just to follow this path of faith

After 30 years of inheritance, it has become a vivid ideological and political course. The students measure the world with their feet, understand history with their hearts, and continue the red bloodline. In order to help teachers and students take this path well, they have also received strong support from all walks of life during this period.

Walking into the New Era Ideological and Political Education Hall of Guyuan No. 2 Middle School, the photos were frozen for 30 years, and the touching moments of teachers and students hiking for hundreds of miles to celebrate the heroes.

Every March, students from Guyuan No. 2 Middle School and Guyuan Hongwen Middle School will use morning exercises, large breaks to perform physical training such as constant speed walking, changing speed running, and high leg lifting running. At the same time, learn to sing revolutionary songs, understand the history of Ren Shanhe's battle, and make every departure fully prepared.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of this "walking ideological and political class", Guyuan City traffic police, fire rescue, medical and other departments will participate in the escort throughout the process to ensure the safety of every child.
