In the mid autumn season, the sky is blue and the clouds are white. The Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Museum is crowded with people, and tourists have formed long queues at the entrance. Recently, as the Northern Theater Command Navy organized a naval open day event in Qingdao, visiting active warships such as the Xining and Wuhu ships, people chose to come to the Navy Museum to revisit the extraordinary journey of the People's Navy from scratch and from weakness to strength. Embarking on a voyage and breaking waves, following the bustling tourists into the first exhibition hall, the first cultural relic that catches the eye is Comrade Mao Zedong's inscription during his inspection of the naval fleet: "In order to oppose imperialist aggression, we must establish a strong navy." With the explanation of the tour guide, the history before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China is presented to people: in 1949, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China discussed and passed Mao Zedong's "Current Situation and the Party's Tasks in 1949" and formed a resolution, which stated: "A navy should be formed to defend the coast and rivers." On April 23, 1949, the first navy unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army - the East China Military Region Navy - was established at Baima Temple in Taizhou, Jiangsu. From then on, the People's Navy officially set sail. At that time, the Yangtze River and Anshan ships were the main naval vessels of the People's Navy. The Changjiang ship was a gunboat used by the Nationalist Navy during the Liberation War, while the Anshan ship was purchased by China from the Soviet Union through loans. ”At this point, the commentator's expression was solemn. "The navy has fewer equipment, but the maritime security situation is complex and severe. It can be imagined how difficult the People's Navy was to start." A photo on the wall attracted many tourists to stop and take a look. This is a photo of the Liberation gunboat. The Liberation gunboat is a small gunboat with a displacement of 28 tons and a draft of 0.6 meters, equipped with only one 20mm caliber naval gun and two 12.7mm caliber machine guns. In 1950, the Nationalist Navy still occupied the Wanshan Islands in an attempt to blockade Haikou. In a naval battle, officers and soldiers of the People's Navy drove the Liberation gunboat deep into the enemy's formation, braving the gunfire of multiple enemy escort ships, persevered in the battle, and inflicted heavy damage on the enemy's Taihe escort ship, setting a precedent for the People's Navy's close combat night combat. After reading the relevant materials, a tourist blurted out, "Although the gunboat is small, it has a great momentum." Observant tourists noticed that there were dozens of bullet holes distributed on both sides of the gunboat. Every bullet hole seems to be telling the intensity of the battle at that time, and urging the naval builders to 'hurry up, even faster'. An old-fashioned desk lamp that once lit up sleepless nights; A design drawing that has been revised multiple times, recording the pursuit of excellence in scientific research and development; A medal that is old but difficult to conceal its brilliance, witnessing an old soldier step forward in a dangerous moment of weapon testing... "Look! Here is a watch. ”With a crisp childlike voice, a group of elementary school students gathered around a display cabinet. In the display cabinet, there is a watch worn by Huang Xuhua, the developer of the Long March 1 nuclear submarine. The introduction text on the wall allows people to understand that period of history. At that time, China began to independently develop nuclear submarines. Faced with the dilemma of lack of money, information, and technology, Huang Xuhua and his colleagues searched for ideas from American nuclear submarine children's toys and went through countless hardships to develop China's first torpedo attack nuclear submarine. Relying on this spirit of hard work and struggle, China's naval equipment has achieved iteration after iteration. Now, the Yangtze River ship and Anshan ship have been retired with honor and are anchored in the ship display area. Tan Xiangdong, a veteran of the original Yangtze River warship, visited the active warships and boarded the gunboat he had fought on. He was filled with emotions: "I never imagined that our naval equipment would develop into what it is now." As the visit deepened, more historical "old photos" were presented to the reporter: the officers and soldiers guarding the Nansha reef faced high temperatures, high humidity, high salt, and multiple typhoons, living in stilted houses, but always kept the solemn oath of "people on the reef, the national flag"; The first batch of 36 nuclear submarine test pilots, who have been hiding their identities for many years, have undergone life and death tests time and time again... "Despite such difficult conditions, they have made immortal contributions! ”A tourist sighed, 'Only with faith and love in one's heart can one cross seemingly insurmountable barriers!' It was not just this tourist who expressed sincere emotions. On the message board of the Naval Museum, tourists are writing about their experiences and feelings. One of the sentences left a deep impression on the reporter: "Here, I have understood a spirit and the significance of a nation striving to become stronger by the sea." Loyalty and Blood. At the Naval Museum, there is an exhibit closely related to the history of the army - a withered tree branch riddled with bullet wounds. This withered branch is only 85 centimeters long, but it is embedded with 35 pieces of shrapnel. The withered tree branches come from the battlefield of the Battle of Shangganling and were gifted by the North Korean delegation to China in the 1960s. ”The guide told everyone: "Loyalty and courage are the genes in the blood of Chinese soldiers. The reason why this withered branch is displayed prominently in the museum is because it reflects the common quality of Chinese soldiers." In the Naval Museum, there are many exhibits and their stories that confirm this fact. In a display cabinet not far away, there is a special exhibit - shrapnel taken from the skull of "Iron Warrior" Mai Xiande. This piece of shrapnel, about 1.5 centimeters long and wide, was taken out during surgery and "invited" to the Naval Museum. Mai Xiande is a representative of the loyalty and courage of naval officers and soldiers. ”A naval officer accompanying the interview told the reporter, 'This shrapnel is proof.' After carefully reading the relevant information, the reporter gained a better understanding of the 'Battle of 1986'. In the battle of 1965, 19-year-old marine engineer Mai Xiande was hit by shrapnel on his right forehead and immediately fainted. When Maixian woke up, the battle was still ongoing. After a simple bandage, he persisted in his position for more than three hours despite the bleeding from his head, enduring severe pain, until he won the battle. In another display cabinet, a quietly displayed flag bears witness to the loyalty, bravery, and combat spirit of naval officers and soldiers in the new era. In 2014, the Navy's 372 submarine encountered a major danger of "falling deep" during a major mission. At the critical moment of life and death, the officers and soldiers of the entire ship united as one, relying on their excellent military qualities and tenacious fighting style to successfully deal with major dangers. Later, the boat was awarded the honorary title of "Model Boat for Practicing the Goal of Strong Military" by the Central Military Commission, and the officers and soldiers of the boat were awarded the title of "Model of the Times" by the Central Propaganda Department. Song Shuangjing, the tour guide, has told these stories countless times, and every time she tells them, she gains something: "This is a process of blending the thoughts of tourists and revolutionary predecessors, and also a process of resonating psychologically with tourists as tour guides." During this process, she has seen the thoughtful expressions of children who suddenly quieted down, the reverence in the eyes of young officers and soldiers, and the tears in the eyes of the elderly... Every time, her idea becomes even stronger: the People's Navy has come a long way, with changes in equipment and technology, but what remains unchanged is the loyalty and courage in their bones. This is the significance of displaying these equipment and exhibits in museums. ”The navy personnel who accompanied the reporter during the interview told the reporter, "The inspiration of this spirit can cross the river of time and make more people continue to struggle with high spirits." Standing in front of a huge mine, Zong Yi, a soldier on a certain navy minesweeper, listened to the introduction of the guide: In 1950, the officers and soldiers of the first minesweeper squadron of the People's Navy risked their lives to sweep two Japanese made Type 93 anchor mines in the mine area. As a naval soldier, I have always wanted to visit the Naval Museum. ”Taking advantage of this vacation opportunity, Zongyi fulfilled his wish. Standing next to the huge anchor mine, he sighed and said, "In the past, there was no advanced equipment for mine sweeping. Revolutionary predecessors had to rely on their passion to complete missions time and time again. Today, we have professional mine sweeping ships with complete and advanced equipment on board. Faced with the new maritime combat environment, we will definitely complete tasks as excellently as our predecessors." During his vacation, a young pilot from a certain naval aviation unit came here specifically to visit. Walking through this profound historical corridor, he not only found all the main combat aircraft models of China's naval aviation since its establishment, but also touched upon the vivid development of naval aviation, reliving the life and death struggles of defending the motherland's sea and sky. The relics of Wang Wei, the "Guardian of the Sea and Sky," and the honorary banner of the "Sea and Sky Eagle Team"... Looking at them, this young pilot's heart was filled with passion. Today, the relay baton is in our hands, and the vast sea and sky are waiting for our expedition. On April 23rd, the Naval Museum held a ceremony to pay tribute to the heroes of the People's Navy. The sailor's whistle sounded, and all personnel present, including 8 naval model representatives from different periods and positions, raised their hands together to pay tribute to the heroes of the People's Navy. The voice of reciting the dedication poem echoes over the Navy Museum, "Chasing dreams and strengthening national power, breaking through waves and singing in the strong wind. This is a heartfelt tribute from the naval officers and soldiers of the new era to their predecessors. At the outdoor equipment exhibition area of the Navy Museum, with the narration of volunteer Zhang Yanjie, visitors began to have a different perspective when facing the neatly displayed equipment. In the naval display area, the Yangtze River ship, Anshan ship, and the "Long March 1" nuclear submarine are anchored in the blue waves, silently recounting their extraordinary past. In the aviation equipment exhibition area, aircraft such as the Chujiao-5, J-5, and Qing-6 are arranged in sequence, carrying the history of the early stages of naval aviation construction. In the land warfare equipment exhibition area, T-34 tanks, ZTD-05 amphibious armored assault vehicles, and 63A amphibious tanks stand quietly, reflecting the arduous development process of China's armored vehicles. Zhang Yanjie is a native of Qingdao. After retiring from a certain naval aviation unit, he came to the Navy Museum as a volunteer guide. At that time, I didn't think much about it, I just wanted to tell the story of the navy to more people. "During the explanation, Zhang Yanjie increasingly felt that" volunteering here is full of a sense of achievement. "Nowadays, Zhang Yanjie treasures many exhibits in the Navy Museum. When asked by reporters what he had felt the most deeply over the years, he blurted out, "As soon as tourists hear the word 'independently developed', their eyes immediately light up. The Jinan ship is the first missile destroyer independently developed by China; The Yingtan ship is the first independently developed air defense missile frigate in China; The 'Julang-1' missile is the first generation of submarine launched strategic missiles independently developed by China... "Zhang Yanjie told reporters." Tourists love to listen, and I also love to tell. It can be said that 'independently developed' is a powerful high-frequency word here. "Walking into the museum, inspired by the stories behind the cultural relics, Zhang Yanjie's experience is now a genuine feeling for more tourists. On the back square of the museum, tourists took out their phones and took photos with equipment such as the "Giant Wave One" missile as a memento. This is both a genuine excitement and a tribute to the developers and users of the equipment. Among the numerous exhibits at the Naval Museum, there is a small item that has attracted the attention of many tourists. It is a tail hook disassembled from the J-15 carrier based fighter jet. The tail hook is black and white, and the hook head was originally bright orange, but long-term training and use, as well as the passage of time, have reduced the original color at the curved hook. A naval personnel colleague introduced that for a considerable period of time, the naval aviation was blank in terms of carrier based aircraft. Carrier based aircraft should board the aircraft carrier and land accurately and safely in the landing area, using the tail
