In the long river of time,
There are always some chapters that are stained
Blood and fire, tears and sweat,
and it looks particularly heavy and heroic;
There are always some memories engraved because they are engraved
Sacrifice and perseverance, faith and courage,
and deserves to be remembered and passed down forever.
