October 1, 1999
On this special and anticipated day, Su Nuan got up early, changed into appropriate clothes, carefully dressed herself, and then left her room.
She came to the three children's room and when she opened the door, the three children were sleeping soundly on the bunk beds.
Su Nuan woke up the children one by one. The children, who were originally sleepy, got up excitedly when they heard that they were about to set off to the square to watch the ceremony.
Su Nuan took out the clothes that Su Nuan had matched for them yesterday and took her daughter to the bathroom to change. When she came out, the two boys had already changed their clothes.
When they went downstairs, breakfast had already been prepared, and Mr. Gu was also wearing a neat old military uniform.
"Grandpa, are you going to the National Day ceremony too?"
"Yes, but I will go my separate ways and not be in the same place with you guys."
Su Nuan nodded in understanding. After they finished breakfast, the car to pick them up had arrived at the door. Su Nuan took the children to say goodbye to their family and got in the car.
As the car was driving on the road, red flags were hung high everywhere. The closer it got to the square, the more people gathered. Three children leaned against the car window and looked out curiously.
When they arrived at the special entrance to the square, the soldier driving the car said to Su Nuan.
"Comrade Su Nuan, you can get off here. Someone will take you in later."
Su Nuan thanked him politely and turned to the three children.
"Children, when we get off the bus, there will be a lot of people around. You, your good mothers, and the uncles and aunts, must not look around or run around. Do you understand?"
The three children nodded obediently, and Su Nuan opened the car door and got out.
As soon as they got off the bus, soldiers came over to lead them into the venue.
Su Nuan took the children and followed the crowd into the square.
After they arrived at the designated location, they were asked to stand there and wait. Other people followed suit and entered the venue one after another. Those who entered the inner venue were all people of extraordinary status and were all well-educated.
Su Nuan sat quietly on the tower, her position fixed, as if destined by fate. Everyone sat at their seats, the entire place utterly silent, as if time had stood still. Even the three normally volatile children were frightened into obedience by the solemn scene. They stared around nervously, their faces filled with awe.
Time passed in silence. The waiting process was not long because people's hearts were full of anticipation. Finally, the military parade began. At this moment, the whole place was silent, as if you could hear everyone's heartbeat.
At this moment, a powerful and inspiring command came from the broadcast in the square: "Standard soldiers, take your positions!" The voice was like the spring thunder at dawn, resounding throughout the square.
People's attention was instantly focused on the model soldiers. They were heroic and marched with firm steps, as if they were soldiers guarding the country.
The three children were also deeply attracted by this scene, with excitement shining in their eyes. Perhaps at this moment, their love for the country and their longing for the future became even stronger.
As the salute roared, 200 flag bearers escorted the Chinese national flag from the Monument to the People's Heroes to the flag-raising area.
The roaring salutes are the rolling wind and thunder that China has persevered through. The roaring salutes are the rumbling footsteps of China's courageous advance.
It was as if an oath was being sworn to the outside world: we, starting from our heroic past, march towards a glorious future. The bayonets gleamed, guarding the peaceful sky.
The honor guard marched firmly and powerfully, conveying the sacred oath to defend the peace of the motherland.
These firm and powerful steps express the strong will, tenacity and courage of the Chinese people.
At this moment, the flowers held by 100,000 young people in the square shone brightly with gold, like ears of wheat. Olive green shone through, outlining a picture of peace and prosperity, and the opening ceremony ended.
At this exciting moment, a grand and magnificent military parade officially kicked off.
Before we even saw anyone, we heard the deafening, imposing sound of footsteps, drifting closer and closer. Carrying vibrant red flags, the honor guards of the three armed forces advanced toward us in unison. Each of them was valiant, their postures erect, their steps powerful and resolute. Every step shook the entire audience, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
Then, the next 17 marching columns came into view. These columns were composed of officers and soldiers from the navy, army, air force, armed police force, and militia reserve forces. Over 6,000 soldiers moved in unison, their steps and steps moving with clockwork precision. Every movement, even the height of their arms and legs, was identical. This uniform movement, as if sculpted with the power of a knife or an axe, left a deep impression on the audience watching this grand parade and earned countless praise and applause.
One formation after another passed by, and the voice coming from the radio introduced each formation.
At this moment, Xiao Mantou noticed at a glance that the man who was striding in front of the Shanghai Military District's formation with his head held high in a neat military uniform and leading the troops was his father. The little guy's eyes widened.
He hurriedly pulled Su Nuan's sleeve and said excitedly.
"Mom, look, it's Dad. Dad is standing in front."
Su Nuan followed the direction of his finger and saw the man standing in the front, marching in neat steps and raising his hand to salute. It was her husband.
At this moment, Su Nuan felt extremely proud and proud.
After the marching column was completed, behind it was the "Iron Array" that could further demonstrate China's strength. It consisted of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, towed artillery, self-propelled artillery, anti-tank missiles, air defense missiles, ship-to-ship missiles, surface-to-air missiles, etc.
It is composed of 409 advanced equipment. The most noteworthy thing is that the three tank missile units among them all use tanks that are independently designed and manufactured by my country. In terms of current technological level, they are ranked among the top in the world.
When Su Nuan saw the advanced weapons and equipment one after another at the military parade, she felt both emotional and extremely proud.
In the past, China was laughed at by the world and its weapons and equipment were made by various countries. Now we have our own independently developed weapons, and the level of the weapons we manufacture is even ahead of the world level.
How can one not be proud and proud of this!
Next, what is even more eye-catching is my country's navy and combat weapons. In this parade, we can see nuclear submarines, conventional submarines, medium-sized missile ships, and special-purpose maritime aircraft.
Rockets and missiles also appeared in the ranks of combat weapons, and these destroyers, frigates, escort boats, anti-submarine ships and minesweepers have gone from being imitations in the beginning to being all designed and manufactured by my country.
