Editor's note: Many national defense education venues in various places have complete facilities and diverse functions, but due to "visitors cannot come on weekdays and education centers cannot enter on weekends", some have been "neglected in front of their doors" shortly after construction. Shicheng County in Jiangxi Province has made efforts in site selection by building the Civil Air Defense Science and Technology Museum in a provincial key high school, solving the problem of "drainage" and improving the utilization rate of the venue. In the late autumn season, the Civil Air Defense Science and Technology Museum in Shicheng County, Jiangxi Province, is a bustling scene. The popularity first comes from the Shicheng Middle School where the museum is located. Civil defense and civil defense knowledge involves multiple disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, etc., and has strong practicality and operability. The Shicheng County Civil Air Defense Science and Technology Museum is designed and built according to the concept of integrated air defense and disaster prevention. It has strong knowledge, a large amount of information, and many interactive projects, naturally becoming a second classroom for students. The relevant person in charge of Shicheng Middle School introduced that safety education classes can be held in the museum, where teachers and staff can demonstrate the use of fire extinguishers, gas masks, and hand cranked alarms, organize training on rope escape, smoke escape, etc., and help students master self rescue and mutual aid skills; Physics classes can be held in the museum, where teachers lead students into the "earthquake cabin" to experience various processes before, during, and after the earthquake, and then explain the physics knowledge related to the earthquake in detail; Extracurricular activities can be carried out in the museum, watching science popularization movies in the 3D film and television hall, and conducting knowledge competitions in the quiz area... Shicheng Middle School is a key middle school in Jiangxi Province, and often receives visits from sister units inside and outside the county for learning and inspection. The inspectors praised the practice of Shicheng Middle School relying on the Civil Air Defense Science and Technology Museum to expand its teaching content. "The Civil Air Defense Museum is not only advanced in display means, but also rigorous in theoretical elaboration, which is very helpful for understanding the development process of civil air defense in New China and increasing modern defense knowledge." An external inspector wrote on the guestbook. The news that the Civil Defense Science and Technology Museum is worth visiting quickly went viral. Some party and government organs, enterprises and institutions in Shicheng County have proposed to the county's national defense mobilization office to visit and learn during weekends and holidays. The situation is getting better and better, but a problem arises: if the Civil Defense Museum continues to be open on weekends and holidays, it will be difficult to ensure the normal rest of the staff. Cultivating a group of volunteer commentators among high school freshmen and sophomores is not only beneficial for improving students' national defense awareness and comprehensive literacy, but also helps the continuous operation of civil defense science and technology museums According to the principle of voluntary registration, the County National Sports Office and Shicheng Middle School have selected two batches of 30 outstanding students through written exams, interviews, job training, and other processes to serve as voluntary commentators for the Civil Defense Museum. Each commentator has a term of one semester and completes an average of one to two commentary tasks per month. Implementing a term system can not only avoid adding burden to students who serve as commentators, but also provide more opportunities for students to exercise, "said the person in charge of Shicheng Middle School. Wen Ying, a student in the 2023 Self Strengthening Class of the school, has not only improved her language expression ability since becoming a volunteer commentator at the Civil Defense Center, but also developed the habit of preaching civil defense knowledge. Whenever she sees civil defense projects, she will introduce them to people and family around her. Like Wen Ying, students take pride in serving as volunteer commentators for the Civil Defense Museum. Those who are selected cherish the opportunity to showcase their image even more; For those who were not selected, put pressure on yourself, study hard, and strive to be selected next time. Ensuring regular school teaching activities and opening to the public on weekends and holidays has become the operational mode of the Civil Defense Museum The leaders of the People's Armed Forces Department of Shicheng County stated that the construction of the Civil Defense Hall in schools has maintained a high utilization rate, and this approach is worth learning from when building national defense education venues in the future.
