Wuxiang festival retraces heroic tales of resistance
Young people inspired by 'Taihang spirit' of sacrifice and selfless dedication
In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the war against Japanese aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, the county held the 13th Eighth Route Army Cultural Tourism Festival on May 24.
The event featured activities such as a conference on the high-quality development of Red tourism, a concert of folk songs and orchestral music, and immersive study tours along the heroic paths of the Taihang Mountains.
Zhao Zhenzhi, 20, dressed in an Eighth Route Army uniform, took to the stage during the festival. He said, "When I put on this uniform and stand on stage, I feel deeply the spirit of the Eighth Route Army soldiers who feared no sacrifice."
The Party secretary of Wuxiang, Wang Shuwen, said that present-day Wuxiang would conscientiously uphold the promotion of the historic Taihang spirit as its greatest mission. The county aims to fully explore the rich connotations and contemporary values of the Taihang spirit, advancing the integrated development of Red tourism in revolutionary old areas.
