In early January, Chen Aiguo, Minister of the People's Armed Forces of Hongqi District, Xinxiang City, walked through the snow and entered the gate of Henan University of Science and Technology . His national defense education class "Turn Youth's Pen Tips into Loaded Bullets" ignited students' enthusiasm to register for military service and take on national defense missions.
The bright sword of campus comes from the sharp edge of the school field. Minister Chen’s lesson attracted applause, which is closely related to the many times he went through when he participated in the Henan Provincial National Defense Education Outstanding Teachers Competition at the end of last year.
Although there is no smoke, it is still thrilling. The reporter watched this sweeping classroom storm in the school field and recorded the sonorous steps and gratifying trajectory of national defense education into a new era from the three dimensions of teachers, lesson plans, and classrooms.

In the snowy sky, the new year's military service registration promotion was quietly launched.
Teacher’s question: How many people can you make excited?
The spiritual high ground calls for national defense fire starters
One piece of paper stirs up a thousand waves.
Just after the National Day in 2017, the Henan Provincial National Defense Education Office issued a notice, led by the Political Work Bureau of the province's military region, to organize a competition for outstanding national defense education teachers for the first time, requiring the provincial military region and military division agencies to the leaders of the Ministry of Human Armed Forces and townships. The grass-roots armed officers of the sub-district offices and college counselors participated extensively, and the selection was based on three stages: county selection, city preliminaries and provincial finals. This battle, both in shape and scale, is rare in history.
Unexpectedly, after the "hero post" was sent out, some units received no response and only a few responded. "Military training competitions are a matter of course. Is it necessary for national defense education to focus on major exams?" Some people complained, while others were puzzled. A political commissar of the County People's Armed Forces Ministry even disagreed: "More than ten years ago, we were an excellent political teacher of the 'Four Conferences', how can we not be a national defense education teacher?"
However, when he confidently went to a certain university to give a trial lecture, But he encountered an embarrassing scene: he was impassioned on stage, but he was busy "surfing" offstage. He talked about mission, dedication and responsibility, but the students were scrolling through WeChat and playing mobile games.
After class, he asked the students in confusion: "What kind of national defense teachers do you like?"
One student said bluntly: "Teachers should not preach to people in a rigid manner, but should make people excited!"
Teachers are the foundation of teaching. The source of religion. The leaders of the provincial military region frankly stated their original intention. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to strengthen national defense education for all. However, for a long time, the national defense education team has lacked talents, its professional quality has been weakened, and its appeal and penetration have been insufficient. A questionnaire survey conducted by the Henan Provincial National Defense Education Office among 200 college students and party and government cadres showed that less than 70% of students were satisfied with the teaching of national defense education.
The spiritual high ground cannot be without "fire spreaders". Xue Zhenxi, deputy commander of the Zhoukou Military Division, is the contestant with the highest position, the oldest age and the most enthusiasm. His lesson "Pictures Explain Worries—Analysis and Thoughts on National Security "Hot Spots"" used a large number of maps to discuss the general trend of the world and won a lot of praise. Deputy Commander Xue's biggest hobby is studying maps. He always keeps "three treasures" in his official bag: an atlas, a magnifying glass and red and blue pencils. In the past three years, he has taught more than 30 times for local party and government agencies and colleges and universities, directly educated 120,000 people, and has many military fans.
Veterans take action and their swords never grow old; rookies come on the scene and do their part. After joining the army, he was looked down upon because of his status as a college student. After he retired, he won the civil service examination due to the bonus point policy. After joining the army, he was selected into the professional cadre team because of his military experience. Zhu Chaofan, an officer of the armed forces department in Leizu Town, Xiping County, used his own He gave a wonderful conscription and mobilization lesson about his mental journey.Zeng Yanmin, a researcher from the Lecture Team of the Propaganda Department of the Henan Provincial Party Committee who served as a judge for the finals, commented: "This kind of 'military talking about military affairs' is very approachable and persuasive!" How could
win the championship if he was not forced to go to the top? Looking back on the more than two-month war journey, Wu Sheng, political commissar of the People's Armed Forces Department of Fengquan District, Xinxiang City, sighed a lot: "It is not so much a skills competition, it is better to say it is a job training; it is not so much a personal competition, it is better to say It is said to be a group battle. "
He who gives others a spark must have a torch in his heart. In order to improve the professionalism of the contestants, Zhengzhou, Xinxiang, Shangqiu, and Kaifeng have conducted sea selection and closed training. Professors from military academies and local party schools have been invited to lecture on the essence of theory and teaching skills, and radio and television program hosts have been invited. Mandarin tutoring.
's business competition is over, and the team has just begun to improve its capabilities. 12 provincial-level outstanding teachers, 10 excellent courses, and 140 municipal-level outstanding teachers stood out from more than a thousand contestants, tempering a team of national defense education teachers, creating a number of high-quality teaching plans, and establishing a group of outstanding lecturers and expert databases. It has become a common practice to love studying national defense education.
lesson plan question: Is there a class that made you burst into tears?
Heart-Strengthening Project Urgently Needs Heart-centered Courses
Plato said: "Whoever can tell stories can own the world."
"Qin Renping, a radar technician on Yongshu Reef, has been guarding the reef for half a year, and a supply ship brought two letters home. His wife's In February, he wrote a letter home affectionately: I look forward to it every day. If you have time, please write more of your letters and ask me to read and think about it slowly... My father's letter in April was opened with a bolt from the blue: my wife has died of liver cancer. "
A certain person from the Navy in Nansha. The deputy chief of staff of the garrison exchanged with Chang Zhiyong, who served as the director of the People's Armed Forces Department of Suiyang District, Shangqiu City. He told the story of his comrades holding on to the islands and reefs in a moving and heart-wrenching way.
The father of Liu Yan, a staff officer of the Provincial Military Region Security Bureau, Liu Weiguo, was the direct leader of Ding Xiaobing, the reconnaissance section chief of a certain division during border operations and the "one-armed hero". Liu Yan won the first prize in the final by describing the passionate years of his father's generation around the concept of heroes in the new era. He said that you cannot be a hero, but you must have the blood of a hero! The speaker sheds tears and the listeners are moved.
In contrast, a few classes were uneventful and received mediocre responses. Li Guoyou, judge of the competition and professor of the Party School of the Henan Provincial Party Committee, made sharp comments on the spot: Some topics have unique perspectives, but they are like academic articles; some cases are touching, but they are like deeds report meetings; some education targets young students, but military political education The traces are too dense; some are logically rigorous, but more like a leader's speech.
Don’t be distracted on stage, but be distracted off stage. Shan Yongzhi, an officer and counselor of the Armed Forces Department of Henan Normal University who has long been engaged in national defense education in colleges and universities, told reporters: In the "image reading era" where information is fragmented, content is still king. National defense education, which has the reputation of strengthening the heart, is in urgent need of heart-centered courses.
reporters traveled through many competition venues in the Central Plains, and there are many excellent works that directly touch people's hearts. However, after reading more than 80 teaching plans, the issue of "five more and five less" still deserves attention: there are many abstract generalizations, and there are few teachings based on people; there are few encouragements and calls. There are many, but few that touch the mind; there are many clichés, but few that are novel and lively; there are many mechanized productions, but few hand-polished ones; there are many "porters" who copy and paste, but few "producers" who are thoughtful and quality.
reporters saw at the finals that the jury composed of leaders from the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee, the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, garrison colleges and division-level units, each had a copy of the "Rules for Grading Excellent Teaching Plans", which set up 5 major categories and 17 small categories. There are three scoring standards, among which the content of the lesson plan accounts for 70%. According to the leaders of the province's military region, the purpose of such refinement is to establish a clear direction that the content of the lesson plan should sing the main theme and promote positive energy.
There is no end to the podium and classroom, but there is no end to shaping the soul and educating people. In order to turn personal wisdom into common wealth, they compiled hundreds of excellent teaching plans into a book. The reporter saw that in this "container", there are not only global hot spots, but also the focus of reform and strengthening the military; not only the era's strategy of in-depth development of military-civilian integration, but also the mission pursuit of national defense mobilization as the main responsibility; both the national security under the broad perspective Interests, as well as national defense topics in life, the topics are all-encompassing and cover a wide range of topics.Professor Pang Zhimin from the Zhengzhou campus of the Army Artillery and Air Defense Academy who participated in the editing said: "With such a rich spiritual feast, there will always be one that will make you burst into tears!"
The national defense education course is to melt the spirit into the soul, penetrate the value into the mind, and penetrate the bone marrow. Inject worries into your heart and carry responsibilities into your mind. You can't just take the reins and speak freely. Currently, they are exploring a qualified teaching plan review system. Before the national defense education lecture forum enters the classroom, it must be certified by military and civilian organizations; organize research on topics and compile targeted teaching plans; establish a teaching plan resource library to realize the sharing of national defense education information across the province. Question from
classroom: Where are the desks for national defense education in the new era placed?
Create a forum that never ends.
The university platform has become a competition arena.
In the preliminaries of the National Defense Education Teacher Competition organized by the Luoyang Military Division, 12 contestants were drawn to Henan University of Science and Technology, Luoyang Institute of Technology , and the Luoyang Municipal Party Committee Party School. More than 3,000 young students and party and government cadres became public judges.
Songxian County Armed Forces Minister Li Jinduo is a master's student who graduated from the Department of Chinese Communist Party History at Yunnan University. In this class, he used videos, animations and other trendy means to preach the martial spirit with pictures and texts, attracting countless fans. He said with emotion: "Only when our national defense desks are moved into the hearts of students can national defense education have weight!"
It is difficult to cultivate the feelings of family and country when facing the wind; the face of national defense education is serious and upright, and the audience has diverse personalities, so it is difficult to take the initiative to accept it; the younger generation has strong independent thinking and rebellious psychology, and it is difficult to identify emotionally. Hu Weizheng, political commissar of the Xinxiang Military Division, said: "On the surface, it is a matter of occupying real space, but in essence it is a matter of occupying ideological position."
Where the focus of the younger generation is, the national defense desk should be moved to that place. The Henan National Defense Education Network, the "Central Plains National Defense" TV column, military network TV station, official Weibo, and WeChat public accounts are the "five carriages" for the province's national defense education. During the competition, the high-quality courses they selected will be published and broadcast one after another, with educational coverage reaching more than 100,000 people.
just left the school grounds and entered the classroom again. Yang Laibin, a military theory instructor at Henan Institute of Technology, moved the national defense education class in the competition arena to the three-foot podium and asked, "What can my major do for the army to win the war?" "Hearing this made the students excited. He said: "National defense education only has graduated students, and there are no teachers after class or classes on holidays."
The provincial defense education office promotes the extension and expansion of national defense education courses, including theoretical study in party and government departments, party school training, and business study in enterprises and institutions. , cultural activities, and publicity of public welfare knowledge in communities and villages and social moral forums. The first prize winner in the final, Zhu Xiaofeng, political commissar of the People's Armed Forces Department of Lankao County, Kaifeng City, gave a lecture on "Guiding the Prosperity and Destruction of Bianliang and Using History as a Lesson to Consolidate National Defense". The heartstrings of few. Many universities in Kaifeng sent invitations to him to give lectures.
The competition of outstanding teachers in national defense education stimulates the "heat transfer" effect of loving the party, country and army, and brings good political, social and military effects. On New Year's Eve, the province's military region used the results of the competition to organize 23 national defense events at all levels The education lecturer team goes deep into universities and communities to preach, creating a forum that never ends.
In response to the problems of randomization of national defense education organization, fragmented time and fragmented content, Shangqiu City divided the education targets into three groups: leading cadres, school students and ordinary people, and divided the national defense education courses into 6 colleges and universities in the city. 10 party schools and 560 primary and secondary schools have unified preparation of Develop national defense education teaching materials; hire 40 national defense education counselors from the garrison, military academies and retired officers above the regiment level, and use micro-courses, MOOCs and other forms to open "National Defense Lecture Halls", "Pocket Classrooms" and "Online Classrooms". More than 1,700 national defense education courses have been launched at the national level, educating and educating more than 1.2 million people.
Highly build the "Spiritual Great Wall" of the new era
Look down at the sky and the earth and take a panoramic view of the past and present.The 5,000-year-old history of China, which has been recorded in writing, is filled with the endless smoke of beacon fires and resounds with the deafening warning of the ages: "Although the country is large, it will be in danger if it forgets to fight!"
The sea has changed, and the wind and thunder are changing. President Xi set aside the clouds of history and grasped the trend of the times. He profoundly pointed out in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China: Our army is the people's army, and our national defense is the national defense of the whole people. We must strengthen national defense education for all the people, consolidate the unity between the military and the government, and build a strong military to realize the Chinese Dream and build a strong military!
The soldiers are the pillars of the country; the people are the foundation of the country. National defense education is about instilling spirit into the soul, permeating values into the mind, injecting worries into the marrow, and conveying responsibilities into the mind. This is the deepest spiritual heritage of our great nation and the deep driving force for the development of national security.
Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era leads China on the road to great rejuvenation. As we forge ahead on a new journey, we must be soberly aware that at present, my country's national security has a richer connotation and extension, a wider space and time, and more complex internal and external factors. In particular, the surrounding security environment is severe, non-traditional security threats continue to spread, and the sword of Damocles of war still hangs high above our heads.
Entering a new era, people's spiritual high ground is facing realistic and urgent tests: diverse and changing values, ideological and cultural exchanges, intense ideological struggles, especially the battle between soul-casting and soul-eating, root-solidification and The game of root destruction is becoming increasingly complex, and the "cultural cold war" and "political genetic modification" projects of Western hostile forces have never stopped for a moment. The lessons of the fission of political parties and the disintegration of countries are a painful warning to people: the more we face the winds coming from all directions in the complicated world, the more we must build a spiritual dam of love for the party, the country and the army, and the more we must build an indestructible steel frame. To build an unbreakable totem of strength, we need to tighten the "safety valve" in the minds of all the people.
As time goes by, the world will change, and as the world changes, we will be prepared for change. The most fundamental purpose of national defense education is to cultivate national defense and lay a foundation of value for boosting national cohesion. How we stand on national defense education, what kind of thinking we use to view national defense education, and what kind of measures we take to do a good job in national defense education are related to what kind of national spirit we shape, what kind of national strength we gather, and what kind of future direction we determine. . At this time, we must keep in mind President Xi’s instructions and establish an overall national security concept and a major national defense concept; our vision and tentacles must be viewed in the context of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and from the perspective of safeguarding and expanding national interests. Think about it and plan within the big blueprint of building the Chinese Dream and the dream of building a strong military.
Each generation has its own mission, and each generation has its own responsibilities. In the era of national defense and military reform, national defense education not only faces major historical development opportunities, but also faces contemporary considerations brought about by new situations and new problems. At present, national defense education has become a new function and new task of the national defense mobilization system. It needs to take the initiative, take the lead, and work with local governments to gradually break down the institutional obstacles, structural contradictions and policy issues that restrict the innovative development of national defense education, and promote this The project to strengthen the country and the nation has become more and more concrete.
The destiny of a country lies in the hearts of its people. Great times require a great spirit. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we must build a "spiritual Great Wall" where hundreds of millions of people are prepared for danger and work together in times of crisis, inspire the political enthusiasm of the whole society to care and support the reform of national defense and the army, and arouse the desire of the entire nation to rise to strength. The great power and majesty bring together the majestic power to realize the Chinese Dream and the dream of building a strong military. (Hu Yongsheng)

Zeng Yanmin, researcher of the Lecture Corps of the Propaganda Department of the Henan Provincial Party Committee: Before I changed my career, I worked in the combat troops and the provincial military system for more than 20 years. After I changed my career, I also worked in the Lecture Corps of the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee for more than ten years. I have experienced various kinds of things in the army and local areas. There are many competitions, competitions and propaganda activities, but this is the first time to participate in the National Defense Education Teachers Competition. This competition is of great significance for improving the professionalism of the national defense education team, using the national defense education large classroom to educate, educate, and train people, and enhance penetration, dissemination, and appeal.

Zhang Anwu, political commissar of the People's Armed Forces Department of Xin County: Xin County is a Red Army county. There are loyal souls in the mountains and heroes are buried in the mountains. This red land itself is a large classroom for national defense education. Our cadres and workers of the People's Armed Forces Department are the descendants of the Red Army. Every time I give lectures at local party and government agencies and schools, the red gene is always the main color and the martial spirit is always the main theme. Especially after the provincial military command system was transferred to the provincial military command system, national defense education became the main responsibility of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces. The new generation of national defense mobilizers must first do a good job in mobilizing people's spiritual spirit. Most of the leaders of the Ministry of People's Armed Forces have rich experience, broad vision, and solid accumulation. Those who sit on the rostrum should take the lead in taking the lead in creating a strong national defense education atmosphere.
Liu Qiaoyun, Minister of the Armed Forces Department of Liangzhuang Township, Puyang County: I never dreamed that I, the most basic township armed forces minister, could go all the way to the provincial arena, and also win the third prize for outstanding national defense teachers and the award for high-quality quality courses. . In the past, I always felt that national defense education was a matter for leaders from above and experts from colleges and universities. We grassroots cadres could only listen in the audience and it was difficult to speak on stage. Now I feel that our grassroots armed forces are at the forefront of disseminating national defense knowledge to the masses and enhancing the concept of national defense, and are the front line of doing a good job in recruiting propaganda and organizing and supporting the army. It can be said that our workplace is the grassroots classroom of national defense education. This rare participation experience has taught me a lot: a small stage can achieve great things, and a small position can perform great things.

Wei Mingyue, a senior student at the School of Architecture, Henan University of Science and Technology: For us, the classroom is the most familiar place, and teachers are the most likely to suffer from aesthetic fatigue. But in the national defense education lecture organized by the Luoyang Military Division in our school at the end of October last year, the young township armed forces minister told us "Ignite the Bloody Youth with the Martial Spirit". Although the theme was solemn, the form was lively and the story was exciting. , everyone was excited. In fact, we also grew up with heroic stories, and we all have a patriotism complex. It depends on how you ignite and inspire it.
