"Hello, students, do you remember us?"

"Remember, brother triplets! The picture of you joining the army last year has been posted on the bulletin board of our school..." The students scrambled to answer.

Spring is strong in April. On the occasion of the 9th National Security Education Day for All, the teachers and students of Xinshi Central School in Bowang District, Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province, connected with a video of a team of Bowang triplet soldiers stationed in Xinjiang, and launched a cloud dialogue of "going to youth together and building the Great Wall of Steel".

Half a year later, the triplet brothers, thousands of miles away, had dark skin and stronger physique. Across the screen, a loud "Hello students" and a standard military salute showed the courage and perseverance of soldiers. Excited, the students clapped their red hands.

"April 15 is just a few days away. Who knows what day it is?"

"National Security Education Day for All!" Meng Jialin, a fifth grader, answered successfully and asked, "Brother, is it dangerous to be a soldier in the border?"

Zhang Tongshuang, a lively and cheerful third brother, replied, "On the day when we put on our military uniforms, our three brothers are ready to sacrifice for our motherland at any time. Only by strengthening our skills can we guard our country well..."

Last year, Dawang triplets Zhang Tongwen, Zhang Tongwu and Zhang Tongshuang took the initiative to apply for military service in difficult and remote areas with their pen, which became a local legend. Before joining the army, the District People's Armed Forces Department organized three brothers to go back to their alma mater, Xinshi Central School, to have a discussion with teachers and students. There was a trend of "star chasing" on the campus. Children wrote on the wishing wall, "Study hard, grow up, join the army and serve the country", "Good men join the army", "I want to wear camouflage, I want to drive tanks" and other wishes.

The connection across thousands of miles makes students feel the vastness of the remote frontier, and also feel the red hearts leaping in the frontier. Zhang Tongshuang turned the lens to the poster of the new era frontier defense heroes in the camp: "I believe that students are no strangers to their deeds, and for the sake of national security and territorial integrity, they will ignore their personal life and death. When I really came here and stepped on the footsteps of the heroes, I felt a heavy responsibility on my shoulders..." Zhang Tongshuang's emotional sharing, It made many students' eyes slightly red.

In April, the spring in Xinjiang was cold and chilly, and the snow melted, and the little white poplar in the camp appeared little green. "These are the saplings planted by the veterans when the army was formed. Now they have grown into big trees with luxuriant branches. The veterans often say that the successive generations of officers and soldiers guarding the border here are small poplar trees. No matter how difficult they encounter, they will try to take root downward and grow upward to guard the frontier of their ancestral country." Zhang Tongwu, the second child, likes poplar trees best, he said, "I hope you are as strong and upright as the poplar tree, and you will become the pillar of the pillar one day."

"When it comes to national security, students may think of the military for the first time. In fact, the connotation and extension of national security are very rich." Zhang Tongwen, the eldest brother, took up the story, "The current international situation is complex, and everyone of us should guard national security wholeheartedly. You are the hope of the future of the motherland. You should have a sense of ownership, consciously strengthen the understanding and understanding of national security, enrich the knowledge of national security, improve the ability of self-protection, resist the speech and behavior endangering national security in daily life, and strive to be a small guard to protect national security. "

After listening to the stories of the triplets, Wei Lingqian, the head teacher of Class 2, Grade 4, was particularly touched. She inspired the students: "Home is the smallest country, and there are thousands of countries. The national security that sounds remote and mysterious is actually closely related to each of us. My brothers are protecting our country and our peace in the border areas. You should also study hard, strengthen your sense of danger and security, consciously establish a national security concept, and safeguard national security with practical actions. "

"It is everyone's responsibility to safeguard national security, not to forget about danger, not to forget about survival, and not to forget about chaos." The leader of the People's Armed Forces Department of Bowang District introduced that in recent days, the People's Armed Forces Department of Bowang District has entered several schools under its jurisdiction, focusing on the origin of the National Security Education Day for All, the connotation of national security, and how primary and secondary school students maintain national security, National security education courses were held in a variety of forms.

The video connection is nearing the end, and the two ends of the screen are still unfinished. The short exchange expressed the family and country feelings of the soldiers guarding the border, and also established the sense of ownership of "safeguarding national security" in the hearts of the students. The students stood up in unison and saluted the frontier soldiers as the Young Pioneers. The bright red scarves waved in the wind in front of their chest, just like the dancing flames......
