1. What is a National Memorial Day: A national memorial day refers to a national commemorative event established by the state to commemorate a major national disaster that has occurred, and is established by a decision of the state power organ. On February 27, 2014, the seventh meeting of the Standing Committee of the 12th National People's Congress passed a decision to establish December 13 as the National Memorial Day for the victims of the Nanjing Massacre.
2. Why should a national memorial day be established: The National Memorial Day is established to mourn the victims of the Nanjing Massacre by the Japanese army, as well as all the martyrs who were killed by the invaders during the Japanese imperialist war of aggression against China. "Pursue the future cautiously," in the form of a national memorial, to remember the victims, to express sorrow, not to forget history, and to learn lessons, will help open up the future. Let the people of the world not forget history, remember the profound disasters caused by the war of aggression to the Chinese people and even the people of the world, set up a public memorial day to pay tribute to the victims, and urge the people of the country not to forget history and remember history.
History is our root, and we must not forget it, let alone deviate from it. The Nanjing Massacre is a deep scar in the history of our nation. But instead of breaking us, this scar has made us more resilient and more aware of the value of peace. This tenacity, this understanding, is something we must remember.
Remembering history does not mean that we are bound by the shadows of the past. On the contrary, we need to draw strength from it so that the tragedy of history does not repeat itself. It is not only the pain and humiliation that we need to remember, but also the heroism and resilience of those who have maintained their dignity in the face of suffering.
We need to understand that peace is not taken for granted, it needs to be fought for and protected. Only when we fully understand the weight of history can we truly understand the preciousness of peace. We must use our actions to prove to the world that we are a peace-loving nation that cherishes history.
Children, let us remember the past and shape the future with firm beliefs and actions. We need to remember that history is our roots and peace is our future. Only by being deeply rooted in history can we move steadily into the future. In this process, we must not only remember the pain and humiliation of the past, but also draw on the strength of history to pave the way for our future.
Let us express our deep condolences to those compatriots who lost their lives in the Nanjing Massacre, and pay high tribute to those who fought bravely to defend peace and justice. Let's remember the history and forge the future!
