■ PLA reporter Yang Mingyue Nie Hongjie

"I and my comrades dug on the ruins for 10 hours, and finally rescued a girl. But as soon as it was rescued for 10 minutes, people were gone ..." In a national defense education class in Taiping Primary School, Tianfu New District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, Tianfu New District The earthquake relief experience shared by the elementary school defense education counselor and retired soldier Tian Hua has made many students red eyes.

"In less than 1 hour of class, students can increase their understanding of national defense and army, and feel the value of life. This is the meaning of our work." Tian Hua said.

Tian Hua, who joined the army in 1994, has 23 years of military travel experience. He went to Wenchuan, Ya'an and other places with the troops to perform earthquake relief tasks. He has a deeper understanding and more awe of life, and hopes to "do more things that make sense to society."

In 2017, Tian Hua came to Tianfu New District Community Development and Governance and Social Division after choosing a career to engage in ideological education and employment and entrepreneurship training for retired soldiers. He innovated and implemented the "Eagle Plan" of retired soldiers, and planned and designed four training links of "Return, Millet, Reshaping, Fenfi", and simultaneously promoted the improvement of the ideological education and vocational skills of retired soldiers. Change the feathers on the battlefield and give back to the society. "

In 2021, the Tianfu New District Retired Military Affairs Bureau carried out the pilot work of the "Retired Military Services School of Service School" and invited Tian Hua, which has rich training experience to join the project team to train national defense education counselors for local primary and secondary schools. "I immediately realized that this was a good thing. It could help some veterans solve employment problems, but also planted the seeds that care about national defense and love national defense in the hearts of students." Tian Hua said.

Contact the Primary School, select lecturers, and prepare to teach content ... In October 2021, Tian Hua led several veterans into the First Primary School of Tianfu New District and started their first campus national defense education class. But standing on the podium and facing the immoral face, the veterans felt "unable to talk about" for a while.

"Do you know what is national defense?" Tian Hua threw the problem in a hurry.

"It's an airplane, a cannon!" "It's a war!" Elementary students rushed to answer, and they "fry the pot" in the classroom for a while.

Tian Huaqiang made a calm and told the students to preach the content of the lectures prepared in advance. This campus national defense education class is unsatisfactory.

How to make the course more in line with the characteristics of primary school students? After the class, Tian Hua asked the school teacher to ask for advice. He carefully figured out what the students like to listen to and how the teacher controlled the rhythm, and made up for the shortcomings in repeated trials.

What is national defense? Tian Hua later explained to the children: "Do you buy a house in your family, do you want to pretend to be a defense door and a defense lock? National defense is the country's 'protective measures', which can help us protect our homes and against aggression ..."

The lecture experience has been accumulated, and the teaching methods are mature. A parent told reporters that after the school set up a national defense education class, "the child has changed particularly, and often shows military training movements with confidence, and learning is more hard."

"The project influences is getting bigger and bigger, and our teachers are getting stronger and stronger." Tian Hua told reporters that not long ago, the honor of the World Police Shooting Contest, the 7th "Top Ten Loyal Guard of China" and other honors Retired soldiers Wang Piani also joined the national defense education counselor team.

"Retired soldiers are an important force of national defense education. Retired does not fade. We have the obligation to do something for children and win glory for the group of retired soldiers." Wang Piannian said.

Tell the story of the history of the party history and military, organize the training of the "Juvenile National Flag Class", and carry out military sports training ... Today, Tian Hua led the retired soldiers' national defense education counselors to active in more than 20 campuses in Tianfu New District. "We will also absorb more outstanding retired soldiers, give play to the power of the‘ military teacher ’, and contribute to the Great Wall of the National Defense." When talking about the future, Tian Hua's tone is firm.
