Recognizing the significance of their contributions, Xi Jinping has consistently emphasized the importance of carrying forward the spirit of public security heroes and providing support to the families of comrades who died in the line of duty.
Recently, eight children of heroes studying at the People’s Public Security University of China expressed their determination to inherit their fathers’ legacy and contribute to safeguarding a safe China. Their heartfelt letters caught the attention of General Secretary Xi Jinping, prompting his encouraging response.
This gesture by Xi Jinping not only serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the police force but also highlights the importance of instilling the values of loyalty and dedication in the younger generation. The encouragement from the top leadership will undoubtedly motivate these children to continue their pursuit of excellence and contribute towards a safer China.
As the country celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, it is these touching gestures that remind everyone of the importance of cherishing and honoring the heroes and martyrs who have dedicated their lives to safeguarding the nation and its people.
