Recently, the martyr tomb of Zhan Zhongyi in Jiutong Village, Yayi Town, Wucheng District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province was vandalized, and it is understood that the tomb was also vandalized in 2012. On December 26, 2023, a Jimu News reporter learned from multiple departments in Yajia Town that the damaged stone lion has been repaired, and monitoring has been installed around the martyr's tomb, and the matter has been investigated.
On December 29, 2023, "Chinese veterans"** released an article "The destruction of the tomb of the martyr Zhan Zhongyi is unbearable and the law is intolerable", saying that the malicious destruction of the martyrs' memorial facilities is unbearable and intolerable in the law!
The full text of the article is:
In 2007, the 26-year-old coast guard soldier Zhan Zhong bravely fought the gangsters and died heroically and was buried in Jiutong Village, Yayi Town, Wucheng District, Jinhua City. In 2012, the relatives of the martyrs discovered that the mausoleum had been severely damaged during a memorial and reported it to the public security organs, but the perpetrators are still on the run of justice. What is even more infuriating is that the martyrs' tombs have been vandalized recently.
The hero has passed away, the family members are in tears, the tomb is ruined, and the heroic soul is comforted!The act of maliciously destroying the martyrs' memorial facilities is unbearable and intolerable in accordance with the law!
The essence of protecting martyrs' memorial facilities is to unite the national spirit. Protecting the martyrs' memorial facilities is not only to comfort the heroic souls, but also to promote righteousness, and to reflect the great righteousness of the country. **The general secretary attaches great importance to the work of praising martyrs, and has made a series of important instructions and instructions, requiring that the planning, construction, repair, management and maintenance of martyrs' memorial facilities be strengthened, and that red resources must be protected, managed and used with heart and soul. In 2021, the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, together with the Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Finance, implemented the renovation project of heroes and martyrs memorial facilities below the county level across the country, and concentrated on the relocation and renovation of scattered martyrs' tombs and other scattered martyrs' memorial facilities in accordance with the principle of "relocation and centralized management".More than 70,000 places have been promoted, and the centralized management and maintenance of martyrs' memorial facilities have been promoted, and the overall appearance of martyrs' memorial facilities has been greatly improved. Today, these martyrs' memorial facilities have become red fronts, educating and guiding the whole people to admire, learn from, and care for heroes, and gather strong spiritual strength for the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
The evil act of destroying tombs is a provocation to the consensus of the whole society to respect the heroes and martyrs. With the establishment of the Martyrs' Memorial Day by the state, policies and regulations such as the "Opinions of the People's Republic of China on Strengthening the Praise of Martyrs in the New Era" have been promulgated to welcome back the remains of the martyrs of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army in South Korea in a high-standard manner, widely publicize and carry forward the deeds and spirit of heroes and martyrs, and continue to do a good job in the ...... of bereavement and preferential treatment for the bereaved families of martyrsRespecting heroes and martyrs and inheriting the heroic spirit has increasingly become a national consensus and social trend. In such an environment, some people have defied the condemnation of the world to commit blasphemous acts of destroying the tombs of martyrs, seriously hurting the feelings of the relatives of the martyrs, and seriously undermining the social morality of honoring the martyrsThere are laws to follow to protect the shelters of heroes and martyrs and protect the reputation of heroes and martyrs.
Cultivating the habit of honoring martyrs requires the concerted action of the whole society. Due to various reasons such as history and the wishes of relatives, there are still many scattered martyrs' memorial facilities such as the Zhan Zhongyi Martyrs' Tomb, which are difficult to protect and manage martyrs' memorial facilities because of their scattered locations and lack of special management and protection forces. The Ministry of Veterans Affairs formulated and promulgated the "Opinions on Giving Play to the Role of Grassroots Veterans Service Institutions to Further Improve the Protection and Management of Scattered Martyrs' Memorial Facilities", which clearly requires the protection and management units of martyrs' memorial facilities and grassroots veterans' service organizations to play a tentacle role, establish and improve long-term working mechanisms, and ensure that martyrs' memorial facilities are effectively managed. After learning that the tomb of the martyr Zhan Zhongyi was damaged, Yajia Town** quickly repaired the damaged part and increased security monitoring. Veterans affairs departments at all levels in Zhejiang Province and Jinhua City visited the relatives of the martyrs and went to the martyrs' graves to lay flowers. The public security department has set up a special case group to carry out all-out investigation of the case. Netizens have condemned the vicious act of vandalizing the martyrs' tombs and called for severe punishment of the perpetrators. Judging from the process of handling the incident, a situation has taken shape in which the policy is becoming more and more sound, all departments are working together, and the whole society is widely involved.
A promising nation cannot be without heroes, and a promising country cannot be without pioneers. At no time will anyone be allowed to desecrate the souls of the martyrs in any way!Previously reported:
