In front of the flag-raising platform, the soldiers maintained good order, and the military band was already in place.

With a soft sound of opening the door, inside Tiananmen Square, two tall and heroic flag bearers, escorting the equally heroic and handsome flag bearers, solemnly escorted the national flag that was still raised out of the door.

Afterwards, an executive officer of the guard of honor held a saber and took a straight military posture and led four columns of officers and soldiers of the guard of honor to see each other off all the way. The very standard step slammed into the ground, and the sound resounded throughout Tiananmen Square in the silent dawn.

And the standard step point seems to have smashed into the hearts of every tourist who came to watch.

At this time, Shen Yun's heart was solemn.

This bright red flag is soaked in the blood of countless martyrs. As a child of a military family, Shen Yun listened to his grandfather talk about the arduous war since he was a child. Today's beautiful China is the result of the deaths of countless martyrs.

And this national flag may be the most sincere and permanent memory of them.

The military band played the military song at the right time, which can be regarded as a warm-up before the national flag is raised. The crowd of onlookers in the square had stopped the noise at this time and quietly watched the flag guards escort the national flag to the flag-raising platform.

The officers and men of the four columns of honor guards walked to the four sides of the flag-raising stand in orderly steps, and stood on the ground with their bayonet rifles very solemnly.

With a dazzling gesture from the flag bearer, the national flag was quickly hung up. At this time, the sky was still a little gray. As the military band finished playing a piece of military music, the entire square fell into unprecedented silence for a while.

"Raise the national flag and play the national anthem."

The loud voice of the commander of the honor guard instantly broke the darkness before dawn. A glimmer of golden light shone on the city of Beijing, and at this time, the military band, which had been prepared for a long time, played the national anthem at the same time with their years of professionalism.

And the nine Shen Yun people who heard this sound quickly raised their hands and saluted almost at the same time.

The bright red flag slowly rose in the golden light. Paying attention, Shen Yun was full of emotion in his heart.

In front of him, there is a bright national flag, and behind him, there is a wordless monument. Thinking back to Professor Xu's heartfelt teaching last night, Shen Yun deeply felt that he should have more responsibilities on his shoulders.

My mind turned, and the national flag was already fluttering in the wind at the top of the flagpole. Seeing the national flag class evacuate the square in an orderly manner, Shen Yun obeyed Instructor Tang's command and put down his raised right hand.

The crowd in the square began to disperse in disorder. Shen Yun and the others waited for the crowd to evacuate, but at this time, a man hurriedly stepped forward.

"Hello."

The man said hello, and then with some respect: "I've been watching you since four o'clock." I didn't expect you to be able to stand motionless for so long. You're all good. ”

The man's praise made Shen Yun and the others smile a little, and they thanked the man one after another.

"That's right, I'm here to give you a gift." The man nodded, took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket, and solemnly sent them to Instructor Tang: "This is a photo I took of you standing in a military posture with Polaroid, I think this should be a very meaningful commemoration." ”

Teacher Tang took it, looked at the group photo of several people and the national flag, and suddenly showed joy on his face: "Thank you, really, thank you very much." So, how much does it cost for these photos, I'll give you right now. For us, this is quite a precious memorial. ”

Teacher Tang wanted to pay back the man, but he was refused.

"Money, you don't have to give it. I think you guys are standing under the national flag, let me take a picture. By the way, if you can, let me take a picture with you. ”

The demands are not excessive, and this is also within the scope of military regulations.

Looking at the photo in his hand, Instructor Tang hesitated for a moment, but still said, "That's it, sir, I will agree to your request on behalf of the students." But the money will still be given to you. Our troops have a rule......"

"I know, don't take a stitch from the masses. Well, you'll give me a film money, ten dollars. I don't want more. ”

After some conversation, the man got what he wanted and left happy. And Shen Yun and the others finally got the opportunity to eat. Hurriedly ran to a restaurant not far away, asked for some fried dough tofu brains to cushion their hungry stomachs, and then a few people embarked on the road to the military sports cultural center.

And this man had already taken a taxi to the bottom of a building at this time.

Happily taking the elevator to one of the floors, the man rushed into an office, raised the photo in his hand, and said with a little pride: "Editor-in-chief, I found another good thing today." It is in line with the spirit of the document that has been issued recently. ”

A middle-aged man in the office wearing glasses and being polite raised his head when he heard this, and said with a little helplessness: "Wu Xin, this is the seventh time you have said the same thing this month. The first few times were either elementary school students helping their grandmothers cross the road, or sanitation workers sweeping the streets early in the morning, which we have all reported before. ”

"But this time it's different."

It turned out that the man's name was Wu Xin. Hearing the words of the editor-in-chief, Wu Xin looked unconvinced: "Editor-in-chief, this time is really different. Look. Really, this time is really different. ”

Under Wu Xin's repeated assurances, the editor-in-chief took the photo in his hand and looked at it.

When he found out that it was just a few photos of soldiers standing in front of Tiananmen Square, he was completely speechless. After a long time, he said in Wu Xin's expectant gaze: "Wu Xin, I know you want to make a big news, but we have also reported on the raising of the national flag." ”

"But this time it's really different. These people, they stood from four o'clock in the morning until the time the national flag was raised, and they did not move. Shouldn't this kind of perseverance be carried forward, and by the way, lead people to a big discussion on the military style in the new era. ”

Wu Xin told with great interest, and he saw that the editor-in-chief also moved his brows slightly when he heard what he said.

"You say, they stood in this position from four o'clock until the end of the flag-raising?"

"Hehe, of course, before the flag was raised, they were driven back a bit. But this moment, it never moved again. ”

"Then you haven't covered enough topics. This should be based on spiritual inheritance and perseverance, and then diverge the style of soldiers in the new era. Is there any more photos, send them over and I'll see again. You go write a first draft and bring it to me for review. ”

Wu Xin, who heard the editor-in-chief's response, jumped up happily in an instant.

was glared at by the editor-in-chief, and then he relented, and with a hint of embarrassed smile, Wu Xin quickly rushed out of the office. The middle-aged man sighed helplessly: "They are all such adults, they are not stable at all." ”
