Nominal: Energy sector enters Handong, breaking the deadlock

Gao Yuliang, Ding Jianguo, Ji Changming and others got off the bus one after another.

Meng Zhaoyuan, Minister of the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee, Zhou Tiejun, Commander of the Provincial Military Region, Qi Tongwei, Director of the Provincial Public Security Department, Zhao Donglai, Director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, Cheng Du, Director of the Guangming Branch of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, and other leaders from the province, city, and district of Handong were all present.

They entered the martyrs' cemetery gate in an orderly manner.

There was no noise or idle chatter; the entire ceremony was solemn and respectful.

Under the organization of Song Yunhui, core members of the political, legal, military, and police leadership teams across the province paid tribute to the martyrs and honored their heroic spirits.

This was Song Yunhui's first public appearance outside the Handong Provincial Government since arriving in Handong.

Upon arriving at the Martyrs' Monument, they lined up in neat rows.

The honor guard stood tall and straight.

Song Yunhui, Gao Yuliang, Ding Jianguo, and others held bunches of chrysanthemums, creating a solemn atmosphere.

As arranged by Song Yunhui, Zhou Tiejun presided over the ceremony.

He strode forward, dressed in a crisp military uniform, his epaulets gleaming.

Just standing there, the soldier's iron-blooded aura is overwhelming.

He adjusted the microphone, his voice loud and clear.

"Governor Song, Secretary Gao, comrades, the ceremony to commemorate the martyrs and pay tribute to the heroes officially begins!"

A brief opening statement, yet it resonated deeply.

There was no applause.

Everyone stared at the monument.

Zhou Tiejun stood ramrod straight, his words ringing with conviction, introducing the leaders present: "The comrades attending the ceremony today are: Song Yunhui, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor; Gao Yuliang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission; Ding Jianguo, Vice Governor; Meng Zhaoyuan, Minister of the United Front Work Department of the Provincial Party Committee; Ji Changming, Procuratorate of Handong Province; relevant leaders from various provincial departments; and principal leaders from the Provincial Public Security Department, Provincial Procuratorate, Provincial Court, Provincial Military Region, and relevant units in Jingzhou City..."

After reading out the list of attendees, Zhou Tiejun raised his hand to signal the honor guard to take their positions, "To lay wreaths in honor of the heroes who sacrificed their lives in our Handong!"

At a command, ceremonial music began to play softly.

The wreath was placed directly in front of the Martyrs' Monument.

He bowed three times, his posture devout and full of respect.

Song Yunhui, Gao Yuliang, Ding Jianguo, Ji Changming, Meng Zhaoyuan, Zhou Tiejun, Qi Tongwei and others presented flowers and bowed in respect.

The process was orderly and solemn, without the slightest oversight.

"Everyone stand at attention and observe three minutes of silence!" Zhou Tiejun took off his hat and held it in his left hand.

Song Yunhui, Gao Yuliang, Ding Jianguo, Ji Changming and others stood in neat rows.

Qi Tongwei, Zhao Donglai, Cheng Du, and others removed their police hats and saluted the monument.

Within the cemetery, the wind is still, the music has ceased, and only the pine and cypress trees sway gently, bearing witness to the peace of the world for the martyrs.

After the moment of silence, the lingering atmosphere remained, and people's hearts were at peace.

Zhou Tiejun raised his arm in salute, "The moment of silence is over!"

Then, Zhou Tiejun put on his military cap and said, "Heroes, comrades, a century of trials and tribulations."

Countless patriots and revolutionary martyrs sacrificed their lives for the liberation of Handong, for the peace of the country, and for the well-being of the people. Their bones were buried in the green hills, and they died for their country.

From the revolutionary years of war to the peacetime era, generations of heroes have stepped forward one after another, using their flesh and blood to build a stable barrier for Handong, protecting the land and its people!

The beautiful landscape and peaceful life we ​​enjoy today are all thanks to the sacrifices of our martyrs!

The spirit of our martyrs will live on forever; our heroes will never die!

His speech was passionate and inspiring, every word filled with fervor.

The audience was deeply moved and filled with respect.

The spirit of soldiers carries the confidence of mountains and rivers.

After concluding his speech, Zhou Tiejun stepped to the side and raised his hand, announcing, "Next, please welcome Comrade Song Yunhui, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Governor of Handong Province, to speak!"

Song Yunhui stepped forward steadily, without taking a manuscript.

Secretary Zhou Haoyang had prepared a speech, but Song Yunhui didn't intend to use it; his plan was to speak extemporaneously.

"Comrades, today we gather among the green hills and pines to commemorate our martyrs and pay tribute to their heroic souls. This is not just a ceremony, but also a reflection on our original aspirations and a questioning of our mission."

All the heroes buried in Handong are not just names, monuments, or nameless monuments.

They are their parents' children, their wives' and children's support, and their guardians of the people.

They are the most lovable people, the most respectable people.

They risked their lives to shield us from darkness and danger, so that we could enjoy the peace and prosperity we have today, with lights shining in every home.

Looking at the police officers and soldiers standing in front of him, Song Yunhui said, "Comrades, in peacetime there is no smoke of gunpowder or war, but there has always been sacrifice and dedication."

On the front lines of law enforcement, public security, border defense, and grassroots work, countless people are silently persevering and carrying heavy burdens.

Wherever there is danger, there they are.

Wherever there is danger, there they will be.

Safeguarding the peace and protecting the people in our area is the duty of all public servants.

Our martyrs sacrificed their lives for their country, and we will fulfill our promise through our actions.

Our martyrs protected our land, and we will remain true to our original aspirations!

As he spoke, Song Yuhui's eyes welled up with tears. "Comrades, there is no such thing as a peaceful life. It is because someone is bearing the burden for us."

On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government of Handong, I would like to share some expectations.

It is hoped that all cadres, officials, and personnel in the political, legal, military, and police departments of Handong Province, as well as relevant units and individuals, will take the martyrs as role models and remain diligent, tireless, and dedicated to their duties.

Uphold the bottom line, shoulder responsibilities, withstand pressure, and get things done!

We will live up to the expectations of our martyrs, the people, and this land of Handong!

His brief, impromptu speech was devoid of empty rhetoric and platitudes; every sentence was sincere and every word resounded.

It embodies vision, strategic positioning, and a strong sense of responsibility.

The cadres present were moved and nodded silently.

No wonder Song Yunhui held a high position in his early fifties.

His vision, perspective, and eloquence far surpass those of ordinary regional officials.

Their skill levels are clearly displayed.

Zhou Tiejun continued to preside, saying, "Thank you, Governor Song, for your passionate speech."

Next, please welcome Comrade Gao Yuliang, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission, to speak.

Gao Yuliang stepped forward slowly. "Governor Song, Commander Zhou, comrades, Governor Song spoke very well."

Let's talk about something else.

In the previous year, many people in the political and legal system of Handong Province died in the line of duty.

Three police officers from the Anti-Drug Detachment of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, two police officers from the Economic Development Zone Police Station, one grassroots judicial cadre, and two auxiliary police officers on border duty...

They are Ge Dazhuang, Xu Tianpeng, Wei Yuanming…”

Behind each ordinary name lies a precious life sacrificed, and a broken family.

Gao Yuliang spoke slowly, pausing for two seconds after each name to show respect.

It took a full six minutes to read it all out.

Closing the register, I looked up at the monument.

"The above-mentioned comrades were loyal to their duties and died in the line of duty, living up to the expectations of the people, the country, and the responsibilities they bore."

Their heroic spirit will live on forever!

Ding Jianguo, Ji Changming, Meng Zhaoyuan, and others also gave brief speeches.

Finally, Zhou Tiejun announced: "Comrades, the ceremony is now over!"

"Everyone, pay the highest tribute to the martyrs!"

With a whoosh, the entire audience raised their hands in unison to salute, their movements perfectly synchronized.

After the ceremony concluded, the event officially came to an end.

Following the established procedure, the group dispersed to freely visit the cemetery, sweep the tombs, offer white chrysanthemums, and pay their respects to the fallen heroes.

Song Yunhui, Ding Jianguo, and Zhou Haoyang walked to a tombstone.

Despite the passage of time, the inscription on the monument remains clear, prominently displaying the words: "Eternal Glory to Martyr Tian Jiachang."
