Forged in Iron and Blood, Guarding the Land with Loyal Hearts

Ninety-nine years of trials and triumphs, the flag of honor flying high. From the first gunshot at Nanchang to the steadfast watch at border outposts, you have packed your youth into the rifle and held up the nation’s peace with your backbone. Brave in floods, steadfast in fires—every mission is an answer to faith. That olive green is the firmest shield of our land; that loyal heart burns quietly beneath our peaceful days. Salute to all Chinese soldiers—may your journey be ever safe, and may our country forever thrive. This Army Day, we say to our dearest heroes: Thank you, and we honor you.
