In 2001, China's first National Defense Education Law was promulgated and implemented. The first National Defense Education Day established in legal form, with the theme of "Paying attention to national defense means caring about one's own home", vividly expresses the close connection between "country" and "home". In September 2024, the 11th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress voted to pass the newly revised National Defense Education Law. Reviewing legal provisions, 41 expressions of "should" are used to clarify the leadership system of national defense education and the responsibilities of relevant departments; Multiple words such as "support", "encourage", and "can" provide more specific legal support for deepening national defense education for all. Without defense, a country cannot be established. Good education wins the hearts of the people. Since the revision of the National Defense Education Law one year ago, various regions have continuously explored new forms and practices to deepen and implement national defense education for all. The national defense themed special train runs through urban blocks, red tourism scenic spots attract visitors from all over the world, the children's voice of "I also want to become the People's Liberation Army when I grow up" resounds during the military open day, and the scene of veterans saluting during the military parade is shared among thousands of netizens' mobile phones... When national defense education "enters" daily life, it is no longer an abstract grand narrative, but a touching scene of life. Each performing their own duties, playing a concert of unity. In autumn, the northern spring city is intertwined with the roar of fighter jets and cheers from the ground. The blue sky is the curtain, fighter jets are the pens, and the flight performance team draws colorful smoke in the air. The 11th Air Force Aviation Open Event and Changchun Aviation Exhibition opened in Changchun, Jilin. Before the audience from all over the country arrived at the exhibition area, the staff of the Propaganda Department of the Changchun Municipal Party Committee were very busy. During the Changchun Aviation Exhibition, which coincided with the 25th National Defense Education Day, various departments in Changchun actively planned related activities according to their respective responsibilities. Since its first held in 2019, Changchun Aviation Exhibition has surpassed the scope of exhibition and become a vivid classroom for national defense education. ”A staff member of the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department said, "Even before the start of the event, various departments proactively contacted us, coordinated relevant matters, and started to formulate activity plans." When national defense education was labeled as "the whole nation," this work became a systematic project involving multiple departments. The newly revised National Defense Education Law clearly states that "the CPC shall adhere to its leadership over national defense education, establish a leadership system for national defense education that is centralized and unified, with division of labor and responsibility, and military local coordination", and that "the central competent department of national defense education for all is responsible for the guidance, supervision, and overall coordination of national defense education". After the new leadership system and working mechanism were clarified, many grassroots workers admitted that "the division of responsibilities for national defense education work has become clearer, and the process of carrying out work has become smoother". In Changchun, a special mechanism for national defense education has been established locally, and relevant work rules have been issued. The reporter reviewed the detailed rules and found that there are clear responsible departments for the management of venues and facilities required for national defense education, as well as the organization and coordination of major commemorative activities. Just like musicians in a symphony orchestra who are familiar with their own scores, each department performs its own duties and plays together to create a cohesive movement of national defense education for all. During this aviation exhibition, various military and civilian departments in Changchun once again worked closely together: not far away from the Blue Sky Park, the urban construction department launched a themed tour route called "Ten Mile Flight Path, Hundred Years of Aviation History", and many citizens and tourists stopped to check in; As night fell, the cultural and tourism department organized multiple drone performances to showcase Changchun's profound heritage as the "cradle of aviation"... The 5-day Changchun Aviation Exhibition allowed the aviation boom to "overflow" from the exhibition area and ignite the streets and alleys of the city. The newly revised National Defense Education Law clarifies that the target of national defense education is all citizens, and stipulates the subject and content of conducting social national defense education. The theme of the carriage you are in is - the backbone. ”On the eve of the Victory Day of the Anti Japanese War, the "Great Victory" themed special train of Beijing Metro Line 19 was launched. Upgrading urban infrastructure and integrating national defense education into citizens' daily lives. A netizen praised this special train: "Sitting on the special train and traveling between cities, it's like hearing the horn of victory that has crossed 80 years." Youth quenching, building dreams, elite campus. "In the past, at the end of the grassland was snow capped mountains, and the snow never melted all year round. Now, standing on the coast of our motherland, the instructor said that the deep blue in the distance is the sea border we must guard. ”This summer, Subinor Nizamuddin from Tarim University in Xinjiang left the hinterland of Tianshan Mountains for the first time and came to Qingdao, Shandong with more than 760 students from across the country to participate in the 10th National Student Military Training Camp. Since its launch in 2014, this activity has gone through more than 10 years of history, and one after another, young people have undergone the youth tempering of patriotism and strong military. The national defense literacy of young students is related to the future of national defense construction. In 2001, the first National Defense Education Law was promulgated, with "School National Defense Education" as a separate chapter, emphasizing the important position of school national defense education in the national defense education of the whole nation. The newly revised National Defense Education Law has made "additions" in the field of national defense education in schools, supplementing and improving the national defense education goals, content, methods, and approaches of primary, junior high, high school, and ordinary higher education institutions according to the actual situation of young people of different age groups. This is a major innovation. On September 4th, a "Military Weapon Model Campus Exhibition" was held at Qinghe Road First Primary School in Fuyang City, Anhui Province. The booth of sixth grade student Wang Tianyu was surrounded by curious classmates. When he sent his self-made fighter jet model into the sky, the silver white body curved beautifully above the playground, and cheers from his classmates rang out in front of the booth. I adjusted the wing angle four times under the guidance of my science teacher before successfully releasing the model. This reminds me of the advanced fighter jets I saw on TV, which must have the hard work and dedication of countless scientists and engineers behind them. I admire them even more. ”Wang Tianyu said. The same respect still resonates in the heart of Jin Wenzhuo, a freshman at Tongxin Middle School in Tongxin County, Ningxia. Not long ago, Tongxin County organized multiple middle schools to conduct the "Walking Ideological and Political Course" red research activity in conjunction with military training for first-year high school students. More than 2800 teachers and students walked back and forth 42 kilometers. Along the way, we listened to the history of the Red Army's westward expedition and the stories of national unity, and gained a deeper understanding that today's happy life is hard won, "said Jin Wenzhuo. In major universities, the achievements of national defense education are reflected in the practical actions of students joining the army to serve the country. Recently, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province held a farewell ceremony for new recruits in the autumn of 2025. In the queue, Qiu Renjie, a fresh graduate from Guangzhou University, walked through the "Congrong Gate" and set off for a certain unit of the Air Force. In the first half of this year, the first event of "National Defense Education and Conscription Promotion in 100 Schools" in Guangzhou was held at Guangzhou University. On the national defense education caravan, Qiu Renjie can put on a VR device and control virtual drones to carry out reconnaissance, patrol and other tasks. The novel experience left him deeply shocked, and he immediately consulted the staff present about matters related to joining the military. In recent years, college students have accounted for over 90% of the newly recruited soldiers in many places. The newly revised National Defense Education Law keeps pace with the times, clarifying that "school national defense education should be combined with military service propaganda and education." The propaganda departments of universities, military service recruitment departments, and other departments should closely collaborate to create a strong atmosphere of honor for serving in the military, and encourage young people with aspirations to turn their patriotism into a patriotic act. Crossing Mountains and Seas to Create a Vibrant Classroom "is Coming! I saw it! ”On July 3rd, the crowd at Hong Kong Cyberport Waterfront Park boiled over. They looked at the giant ship sailing through the waves on the vast sea, unable to conceal their excitement. As the Navy's Shandong aircraft carrier formation slowly sailed into the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the "aircraft carrier fever" spread in the port city. During the open visit event, naval officers and soldiers held a national defense knowledge lecture for Hong Kong youth. In the audience, high school student Ye Sihang listened attentively. Ye Sihang has participated in the youth military summer camp organized by the Hong Kong Garrison and visited the themed exhibition "Dreaming of the East - China Dream, Strong Military Dream, and Hong Kong Defender". The officers and soldiers of the Hong Kong Garrison guard the Hong Kong River, and the naval officers and soldiers rush to the open sea. With their protection, we feel full of security in our hearts, "said Ye Sihang. At the beginning of the new semester, Staff Sergeant Cao Shixue of the "Motuo Model Border Garrison Camp" of the Xizang Military Region began to work again. After completing his work tasks, Cao Shixue came to Beibeng Township Primary School in Motuo County to teach students national defense education. Cao Shixue also had another identity - "Vice Principal of National Defense" at Beibengxiang Primary School. In 2021, the Education Bureau of Motuo County, together with a border defense regiment of the Xizang Military Region, selected outstanding officers and soldiers to serve as the "Vice President of National Defense" in the resident school. In addition to popularizing national defense knowledge in class, Cao Shixue also contacted the Motuo military area to carry out military practice activities, organized students to experience military life, visited the honor room of the "Motuo Border Defense Model Camp", and cultivated their love for the Party, the country, and the development of the border. The vivid practice of one "mountain" and one "sea" fully reflects that the military is an "important supply side" of national defense education resources. This revision clarifies that "relevant departments of the Central Military Commission shall, in accordance with their respective responsibilities, collaborate with the central department in charge of national defense education to carry out national defense education. Assist schools in organizing military training, provide training for local teachers, and regularly organize open military camp activities... The military provides strong support for local defense education. Under the sunset glow, the Zhanjiang ship anchored in the bay of the Guangdong Zhanjiang Olympic Sports Center appeared even more majestic. In August 2020, the first generation Zhanjiang ship was retired with honor and handed over to Zhanjiang City. On April 23rd, the anniversary of the founding of the People's Navy, the first generation Zhanjiang warship once again sounded its siren - the first live performance of "Night at the Military Port" by a domestic warship at sea began. Retired Sergeant Major Tan Xinhua is the prototype for the protagonist in the drama. He served on the Zhanjiang warship for 30 years and witnessed the entire process of the warship from reception to retirement. After retirement, Tan Xinhua and his comrades formed a "veteran national defense education preaching team" to tell the story of the Zhanjiang ship to tourists. Speaking of the artistic presentation of real experiences, Tan Xinhua sighed and said, "The retirement of warships is not the end, but a way to protect our country in another way
