Summary

Machine summary

A unit of the 78th Group Army's 'Dong Cunrui Company' marked the 78th anniversary of PLA martyr Dong Cunrui's death at Longhua, Hebei, with a roll-call ceremony at Cunrui Square in which the entire company answered his name in unison, continuing a practice maintained without interruption since 1948. This is standard political work content — hero-culture indoctrination aimed at new recruits — and its value is as a record of how the PLA institutionalizes martyrdom narratives to answer the specific problem of motivating soldiers in peacetime: the article frames the flood-rescue petition of 2017 and the roll-call ritual as the operational expression of that motivation. The piece documents the persistence of the 'heroic unit' (英雄部队) framework through multiple reorganizations, confirming that unit identity and political lineage are deliberately preserved across structural changes to the force.
