Paying tribute to a heroic soldier

Sept 3 is Victory Day for the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Let's pay tribute to a heroic soldier who received the July 1 Medal, the highest honor the Communist Party of China can give its members.

Guo Ruixiang has been active in the army and politics for 84 years. Born in December 1920, the Hebei native fought Japanese invaders and continues to keep up with the nation's developments.

He is the longest-serving Party member among the award's 29 recipients, having joined 84 years ago.
