We strengthen our bodies through military training and uphold our original aspirations with passion. In order to inspire students' sincere patriotic sentiments and cultivate their spirit of hard work and perseverance, Senior One students of Class 2026 of our school participated in a one-week national defense education and military training program. With the meticulous planning and full support from various departments of the school, students worked wholeheartedly and bravely took the lead, successfully completing all training tasks. With their sweat and perseverance, they successfully unlocked the first lesson of high school, which was exclusive to them.
First and foremost, on the hot and scorching day of August 21st, in the morning, our school held a grand opening ceremony for the summer training camp for the Senior One students of grade 2026. Principal Hu Qilin announced the start of the camp.
What's more, on the evening of August 21st, considering the actual situation of the outdoor military training, our school specially invited experts from Anqing Municipal Public Hospital to hold a lecture on emergency rescue and cardiopulmonary resuscitation knowledge for the 10th grade students, which focused on explaining practical skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Heimlich rescue method, treatment and bandaging of sports injuries, and arranged practical operation exercises. This event effectively enhanced the emergency self-rescue and mutual-rescue capabilities of Senior One students, further strengthening the safety foundation of the military training.
Moreover, on the evening of August 22nd, the Senior High School Department organized all the 10th grade students to watch the video of the grand military parade marking the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. The magnificent parade scene demonstrated the strong national defense strength and comprehensive national power of our country, which deeply impressed and inspired the students, fostering a sense of patriotism and enhancing their national pride and the sense of youthful aspiration and determination.
Furthermore, in order to popularize basic knowledge of national defense and national security among new students and to fulfill the youth's duty of national defense, on the evening of August 23rd, a special lecture on national defense knowledge was held, aiming to help students overcome their misconceptions, establish a national defense concept for all citizens in the new era, enhance their sense of responsibility and commitment to patriotism and support for the military, and cultivate themselves through strict discipline and a determined character.
In the meantime, in order to enhance the discipline and moral standards of new students, on the evening of August 24th, Anqing Foreign Language School invited Police Officer Zhang from the Lao Feng Town Police Station to give a legal education lecture at the Senior High School Department. By using typical cases from the campus, he explained the knowledge of laws and regulations as well as school rules and disciplines, clarifying the bottom line of behavior, guiding new students to establish a sense of the rule of law and self-discipline, and making them consciously abide by the laws and regulations and develop good behavioral habits.
Later on, after the legal lecture, the Senior High School Department organized music teacher Zhang Hui to lead the 10th grade students to learn to sing the school song, who sang attentively, deeply experiencing the connotation of the lyrics and feeling the profound cultural heritage of the school. The loud singing united the class spirit, enhancing the freshmen's sense of collective honor and campus belonging. Thus, they began their new journey in the high school stage with an energetic spirit.
Additionally, in order to enhance the fire safety awareness of Senior One students, on August 25th, the Senior High School Department specially organized all the freshmen to visit and learn at the Anqing Fire Rescue Brigade. During the activity, the firefighters gave a detailed explanation of campus fire prevention knowledge, fire hazard detection, escape skills in a fire situation, and the correct usage methods of fire-fighting equipment, which effectively enhanced the fire safety awareness and emergency rescue capabilities of the freshmen, thus further strengthening the safety defense line of the peaceful campus.
Also, in response to the issues of stress and psychological fluctuations during the new student military training, a special mental health lecture was held on the evening of August 25th, which covered topics such as emotion regulation, stress relief, interpersonal communication, and adaptation to school life, aiming to help new students relieve their mental stress, adjust their mindset, and successfully complete the military training and adapt to high school life with a resilient and optimistic attitude.
Last but not the least, on the morning of August 27th, the closing ceremony of the military training was held as scheduled. During the military training presentation, students cooperated seamlessly and perfectly showcased the training achievements. Each formation was neatly arranged in a uniform manner, demonstrating a good mental state and highlighting the vigorous and upward youthful spirit of our teenagers.
In conclusion, although the military training has come to an end, the journey of youth has just begun. The camouflage green fades away, however, the unwavering determination and self-discipline engraved deep within have never faded. Young people, please carry the will and discipline bestowed by this trial and continue to stand straight, walk in unison, and look forward on the new journey of high school. The camouflage has faded. Nevertheless, the journey has just begun; following this pattern, the future is promising.
