After Changjin Lake, don't expect a merry Christmas, the hero is not Santa Claus
On this cold winter night, let's think about a question from a different perspective, stop looking forward to that Western traditional happy Christmas Eve, because in this land, the hero is not Santa Claus in a red robe. Once, there was a battle of Changjin Lake, which taught us a bloody history lesson, which made me deeply feel that our Christmas Eve was not given by Santa Claus, but by the blood and life of the Chinese people.
200 words, an ice-sculpture hero, this description may only be found in the battle of Changjin Lake in North Korea at minus 40 degrees. In late November 1950, the soldiers of the Chinese Volunteers, lined up in a neat formation in the cold winter, holding steel guns and grenades, as if they were "ice sculptures" jumping in the snow. They fought tenaciously in the face of the enemy army, and it became a heroic scene in history. This is the "Ice Sculpture Company", which has left an eternal mark.
This scene has been vividly reproduced in the movie "Changjin Lake", and the picture is unforgettable. Our servicemen are eating frozen potatoes on the battlefield, while the American troops on the other side are noisily celebrating the holiday. This contrast makes people sigh, after Changjin Lake, don't look forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Netizens also spoke out, and the review of this battle triggered deep thinking. Someone said: "All this is what those heroes bought with their lives and blood and sweat, what is Santa Claus?".”
This year marks the 73rd anniversary of the victory of the Battle of Changjin Lake, and the official platform promotes this special day through various forms. We should use our own way to commemorate the heroes who created "Christmas Eve" for us. In the last battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea, they fought in the bitter cold of minus 30 degrees Celsius, annihilated the entire US army corps, and changed the tide of the war. However, they slept forever on that cold battlefield, winning us what we are now Christmas Eve.
This is a moment to remember and be grateful for. Just like the saying "When you go to the young body, come back to be heroic", the current Christmas Eve is the exchange of blood and lives for those martyrs. As Chinese people, we should be proud and grateful, this pride is not fictional, but from the profound precipitation of history. On this special day, let us look back on the past, remember those heroes who selflessly dedicated, and feel the strength and pride of the country. So, don't expect a merry Christmas, because our Christmas Eve was created with the blood and tenacity of heroes, and it is our eternal pride.
