On January 1, the WeChat official account of "Patriotic Education for Thousands of Miles in the Sea" in Weihai, Shandong Province, went online. "The platform is committed to exploring and presenting local patriotic education resources in Weihai, telling vivid historical stories and heroic deeds, and stirring patriotic sentiments in the 'cloud'." Lin Yilong, Deputy Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Weihai Municipal Party Committee, introduced that this is another measure taken by Weihai City to create a patriotic exhibition belt for thousands of miles across the sea. Weihai is located at the easternmost end of the Shandong Peninsula, with a coastline of nearly a thousand kilometers, and has been a coastal defense center since ancient times. In recent years, the military and civilian forces in Weihai City have established a history of defending their homes and country based on border defense, a history of humiliating resistance based on the First Sino Japanese War, a history of pursuing dreams based on the New Democratic Revolution, a history of developing and strengthening the country based on reform and opening up, and a history of striving for a strong country based on the new era and great achievements. Centered around the theme of "alarm bells ringing long, and striving for strength", they have carefully crafted a patriotic exhibition belt for a thousand mile sea area, highlighting the functions of soul cultivation, education and training, study tours, and commemoration and warning, and comprehensively strengthening patriotic education in the new era. The humiliating history of the complete annihilation of the Beiyang Navy on Liugong Island, the great love of the revolutionary descendants nurtured by the Jiaodong Parenting Center, and the heroic feat of the "Ten Braves of Mashi Mountain" guarding the people through expanding their positions and connecting them into a line... Weihai City has abundant patriotic education resources, connecting unique patriotic memories. In June 2023, the Propaganda Department of the Weihai Municipal Party Committee, the Weihai Military Sub district, and 16 other military and civilian units jointly held a "Patriotic Education Seminar". After reviewing the resources in the jurisdiction and listening to expert suggestions, it was decided to cleverly integrate history and reality, tradition and innovation, break through regional, land and sea boundaries, and coordinate the construction of 138 patriotic education positions in the city. The "Thousand Mile Maritime Patriotic Exhibition Belt Construction Plan" was formulated, and efforts were made to build a destination city for patriotic education. At the beginning of the new year, the Patriotic Education Law of the People's Republic of China was officially implemented. During the New Year holiday, Duan Hui, Deputy Director of the Management Office of the Liu Gong Island Education and Training Base, was busy welcoming observation teams from all over the country. "We will coordinate patriotic education resources throughout the city, establish the first education and training base in the country with the theme of overall national security concept, educate and warn the Chinese people to 'be safe but not forget danger, survive but not forget death', and jointly build the Steel Great Wall to maintain national security, becoming a landmark for patriotic education." Duan Hui introduced that the base will organically integrate resources such as national humiliation, revolutionary struggle, and joint defense of the sea in Weihai, with Liugong Island as the main body, and build 28 on-site teaching points for overall national security concept and 9 theme parks. Nowadays, the patriotic education base in the city has begun to take shape, creating a "Red Jiaodong Source Seeking" base group, "Jiaodong Parenting Center - Mashishan Red Zone" base group, "Patriotic sentiment" base group, and "Red Memory" base group throughout the region, forming a bead chain and a comprehensive patriotic education exhibition belt.
