Remember the heroic deeds of our martyrs and forge ahead with an unwavering spirit of struggle. On the morning of September 30, 2025, a solemn ceremony was held at Tiananmen Square to present flower baskets to the people's heroes on Martyrs' Day. Xi Jinping and other Party and state leaders attended the ceremony together with representatives from all walks of life. As the military band played "The March of the Volunteers", the entire assembly stood in solemn silence and observed a moment of mourning, while children sang "We Are the Successors of Communism". Eighteen honor guards then steadily lifted the flower baskets and slowly placed them before the base of the Monument to the People's Heroes. General Secretary Xi Jinping ascended the steps, adjusted the ribbon on the wreath, and then joined other Party and state leaders in walking around the monument to pay their respects.

At this solemn moment, Zhang Yinjun, President of Beijing Changier Education Foundation, was invited to participate in the flower-presenting ceremony. She represented Changier and the vast number of public welfare workers, joining representatives from all walks of life as they ascended the monument's base to present flowers and pay tribute to the people's heroes. The moment she stepped onto the steps, she could no longer hold back her tears.

President's Voice: A Tearful Tribute at the Monument

"When the military band's horns rang out and the honor guards steadily lifted the wreath, I suddenly felt the winds of an entire century at my back. Thinking of the path our fathers walked through the flames of war, thinking of countless martyrs who had their youth frozen in an era of broken mountains and rivers, my nose began to sting, and I could no longer hold back my tears. Today's flowers are not merely flowers; they are the vows of our lifetime."

"As I approached the flower basket, I saw the bouquet gleaming in the sunlight, the most tender gaze upon the hero. At this moment, I can only say: this flourishing age is just as you envisioned; and we shall never betray the trust you placed in us."

These tears also fall for all Changier members

"On the smokeless battlefield, the fight against AIDS, education, and public welfare equally require 'heroic formations'. Every Changier who steps into campuses, communities, and the frontlines is using their expertise and love to safeguard the warmth that this flourishing era deserves."

The solemnity of the scene, the overwhelming impact that penetrates through the screen

In the afternoon, the president rushed back to the foundation and led all staff members to watch the live broadcast in the conference room. Even through the screen, the solemnity and sanctity remain palpable. Subsequently, the president showed everyone her admission ticket and said with deep emotion: "This is not just an ordinary ticket, but an invitation to a rendezvous with national memory, and even more so, a tribute that will never fade." It means that on this day in 2025, she represents all Changier people, standing before the Monument to the People's Heroes, making a solemn declaration to the departed heroic souls: this flourishing era is as you wished; we have never forgotten. Behind every admission ticket lies a stirring chapter of history. It is not merely a piece of paper, but the memory of our nation, the warmth of our people, and above all, the undying flame we keep burning in our hearts for our heroes.

Turning Commemoration into Action: Changier's "Heroes Formation"

We will continue to wield education as our weapon, protecting the smiles of youth in this battle without smoke. This is Changier's finest tribute to the martyrs and a solemn response to our times.

Integrate patriotic sentiments, aspirations for a strong nation, and dedication to serving the country into the concrete work of AIDS prevention and control, life education, psychological care, family support, and social mobilization, so that every visit, every class, and every smile from those we assist becomes an extension and continuation of the flower wreaths laid before the monument.

A Heartfelt Tribute from the Changier Community

Only through struggle can we live up to today's prosperity, which is the best answer we can give to history; tomorrow's revival will be the deepest solace we can offer to our fallen heroes. With this heart, this action, and these tears, we solemnly pledge to the heroic spirits: Rest assured, Changier remains steadfast in the ranks, our original mission unchanged. We will transform the solemnity of this memorial day into an enduring commitment to our mission; we will transform the heroic spirit into eternal starlight that illuminates homes across the land.

At this moment, Changier people pay our deepest respects to all the heroes who sacrificed their lives for national independence, people's liberation, and national development, and to all contemporary heroes who dedicate themselves silently in ordinary positions!
