Retired soldiers and their families display calendars gifted by volunteers. Wang Shigang captured the winter solstice in southern Henan, where temperatures suddenly dropped. In the evening, retired soldier Lin Jianhui began to get busy - he ran a fried noodle and pancake stall on Yucai Road in Yancheng District, Luohe City, Henan Province. As it was mealtime, more and more people came to buy fried pancakes, and Lin Jianhui was a bit overwhelmed. At this moment, several volunteers dressed in "red vests" came over and started working with him in a familiar manner. These "red vests" are Peng Xiaojun, director of the Retired Soldiers Service Center in Luohe City, and several volunteers. They came specifically to visit Lin Jianhui. As the weather gets colder and colder, let's come and see if you have any difficulties Taking advantage of her free time, Peng Xiaojun handed over condolence items and put a red scarf around Lin Jianhui's neck. That bright red, like a warm current, nourishes the hearts of the veterans. Speaking of the red scarf, it can be traced back to December 2022. That winter, a small video caught the attention of the staff at the city's Veterans Affairs Bureau. Son, are you doing well in the army? "In the video, a mother expresses her longing for her son with tears in her eyes at a roasted gluten stall in Huanghe Square. The protagonist in the video is named Ku Chunping, from Longcheng Town. His lover works outside all year round, and his son serves in a certain border unit. On weekdays, Ku Chunping is responsible for household chores alone, and during the off-season, he goes to the city to set up a stall. Due to her son's task, she hadn't spoken to her on the phone for nearly a month. Feeling anxious, Si'er recorded this short video in front of the gluten stall. After watching the video, Peng Xiaojun immediately took the volunteers to offer condolences and specially brought a red scarf to Ku Chunping. She tied it and said, "My child will stay outside to protect our country. I hope this red scarf can connect our hearts and encourage our children to bring glory to the people of our hometown as soon as possible." The national borders are connected to our families, and love warms the hearts of soldiers. Since then, the Retired Soldiers Affairs Bureau of Luohe City has included "sending red scarves" in the annual "Sending Warmth in Winter and Caring for Veterans" activity. For groups such as retired soldiers and families of border and coastal defense officers and soldiers, they should establish and improve a normalized mechanism for collaborative care and assistance, and provide more timely, effective, and heartwarming assistance. For retired soldiers and families of border and coastal defense officers and soldiers who have demands, they will provide regular on-site services to help and solve difficulties. At the same time, we will mobilize village and community volunteers to assist in carrying out volunteer services, ensuring that all necessary assistance is provided, all assistance is provided, and assistance is provided in a timely manner. This will ensure that retired soldiers and other beneficiaries in need have a secure life, daily care, and assistance, and that care and assistance work is effectively implemented. Retired soldier Ran Xiaochuang from Dayuan Village in Linying County works outside for many years, and his child Ran Yiyi lives with his grandparents. That morning, volunteers brought Xiaoyi many snacks, as well as a beautiful down jacket and a red scarf. She eagerly showed the children, 'My dad used to be a soldier, and when I grow up, I want to join the army like him.' Although the weather is cold, my heart is warm. In Zhao Village, Shicao, Feng Ting, a military family member who was tidying up household chores, saw volunteers enter the courtyard and quickly stopped her work. She greeted them with a smile on her face. After a moment of warmth and concern, Feng Ting hurriedly sent a WeChat video to her husband Xue Hang, who was serving in a certain Air Force unit: "Take a look, is my red scarf beautiful? It was just sent by the Veterans Affairs Bureau. You can work peacefully in the army without worrying about your family. I will take care of your parents and children..." Feng Ting's laughter was filled with joy. As a revolutionary old area, Luohe has always attached great importance to the work of supporting the military and their families, and supporting the government and loving the people Peng Xiaojun said, "The peaceful years we enjoy today cannot be separated from the dedication and sacrifice of military personnel and their families. National defense is closely related to each and every one of us. We believe that in the future, more people will walk together on this road of supporting the military, and more red scarves will decorate this small red city, becoming a powerful witness to loving and respecting the military
