Significance of China August 1st Army Day;
Army Day is to commemorate the birth and arduous course of the people's army and to inspire soldiers to defend their country. The festival is held every August 1 day. Usually, all parts of China will focus on "supporting the army, supporting the government and loving the people" to commemorate the birth of the People's Army. The custom of Army Day is that government departments and social organizations generally carry out various activities to support the army. Every year on the Army Day, the troops will organize grand commemorative activities to celebrate their own festivals.
Governments at all levels also organize grand military-civilian parties or vigils to invite representatives of the old Red Army, retired military cadres, demobilized soldiers, disabled revolutionary soldiers and families of martyrs to participate. At the same time, we should also organize activities to support the army and give preferential treatment to its dependents, publicize the glorious tradition of the people's army, check the implementation of preferential treatment, and solve problems and difficulties in time. Governments at all levels and the broad masses of the people have always regarded the activities of supporting the army and giving priority to their families as a "reserved festival" to commemorate the Army Day.
